44.2.1. TFTP diagnostic

This command reports the current situation of the FTP resource:

[11:37:57] ABILIS_CPX:d d tftp

RES:Tftp ----------------------------------------------------------------------
       Trivial_File_Transfer_protocol
       STATE:ACTIVE
       CUR-SESS:0      PEAK-SESS:0      MAX-SESS:10
       ------------------------------------------------------------------------

       8    000.000.000.000-0
       9    000.000.000.000-0

The meaning:

STATE

The TFTP driver state:

  • INACTIVE - configuration parameter ACT:NO.

  • DOWN - registration to lower UDP ports fail, better said when the "use" of UDP service is not possible.

  • ACTIVE - the driver is fully ready to work.

CUR-SESS

Current used TFTP sessions.

PEAK-SESS

The peak of used TFTP sessions.

MAX-SESS

The number of maximum TFTP sessions.

SES

The TFTP session's identifier.

RemAdd-RemPort

The remote IP address and UDP port of TFTP session.

44.2.2. TFTP statistics

This command can help to understand what is happening, in case of troubles:
