Question 547

What is a function of TFTP in network operations?

    Correct Answer: A

    TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) is primarily used for transferring small files within a network. One of the main functions of TFTP in network operations is transferring IOS (Internetwork Operating System) images from a server to a router for firmware upgrades. This process is crucial for maintaining and updating the firmware of network devices. Unlike other protocols, TFTP does not require authentication and is designed to be simple and lightweight, making it well-suited for this purpose. Therefore, transferring IOS images for firmware upgrades is a key use case for TFTP in network operations.

A is the correct, pelati

Ciscoman021Option: A

TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) is a simple file transfer protocol that is often used for transferring small files between network devices. One of the primary functions of TFTP in network operations is to transfer IOS (Internetwork Operating System) images from a TFTP server to a router for firmware upgrades. Therefore, option A is the correct answer.

reagan_donaldOption: A

Router OS does not need TFTP inside its own operating system to transfer files between file systems....A is correct

ismatdmourOption: A

D is incorrect as no need for TFTP internally (IOS handles that, I believe, using commands such as "copy"). TFTP can be used to transfer conf. files but the statement is incorrect because TFTP needs no user./pass. authentication. Using TFTP (UDP based) over a congested link means that files cannot be transferred reliably (C incorrect). Finally, A is correct and is the reason TFTP is mostly used (Firmware upgrade) whereby the admin have the IOS image on one device and uses TFTP to load the image to all other devices quickly.

ShamwedgeOption: D

I think it's D. It says "network operations" and to me, that implies a more generalized function that exists outside of the Router/Switch environment. In a basic "network operation," you would use TFTP to transfer files.

cormorantOption: A

always associate TFTP with ISO images and firmware upgrades

Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) is a network protocol used to transfer files between hosts in a TCP/IP network.

awashenkoOption: D

I like A and D here but I think D is the more correct answer in terms of the CCNA.

babaKazooOption: D

A. is wrong because TFTP can transfer things like configuration files but not firmware updates. D. Is correct.

aike92

A is correct. Your logic is justifiable, but TFTP is not secure like FTP so for security purposes we use it for Trivial things, sorta like Telnet So for the means of "Network operations" it wouldn't be used for transferring all types or just any types of files

Nebulise

Wrong. The main reason i use TFTP on routers/switches at work is to copy IOS files to upgrade the switch/router.
