Transferring a File
Depending on conditions existing within your network, you can transfer files
between Bay Networks routers and remote workstations using either of two
methods:
• In-band (using Technician Interface
tftp commands and a route through your
high-speed, IP network)
• Out-of-band (using Technician Interface
xmodem commands and a route
through a lower-speed, dial network)
You can transfer a file in-band whenever
• You can dial in to the Technician Interface port of a router you choose as
source or destination for a file transfer operation
• An operational IP routing path exists through your network, between the file
source (a router or a remote workstation) and the file destination (also a router
or a remote workstation)
Out-of-band file transfers are typically a less efficient but sometimes useful
method, for example, for router diagnosis and management.
You use this method most beneficially when
• You can dial in to the Technician Interface port of a router you choose as the
source or destination for a file transfer operation
• All IP routing paths between the file source and the file destination are down
(nonoperational)
You can use either a UNIX or a 386/486 DOS remote workstation to transfer files
in-band or out-of-band using Technician Interface
xmodem commands, as
operating conditions within your network allow.
