The client-server model partitions tasks between servers that provide a service and clients that request a service.

For active CLI clients, users initiate a client connection from the switch to another device.

Note

Note

Both FTP and TFTP clients are supported by the switch. The switch does not launch FTP and TFTP clients explicitly as a separate command; you can launch them through the CLI copy command. If you have configured the user name through the boot config host command, the FTP client is used to transfer files to and from the switch using the CLI copy command; If you have not configured the user name, the TFTP client is used to transfer files to and from the switch using the CLI copy command.

Configuring the boot config flags ftpd or boot config flags tftpd enables the FTP or TFTP Servers on the switch.

For non-active clients, the client exists on the switch and the switch console initiates the request, with no intervention from users after the initial setup. For instance, Network Time Protocol (NTP) is a non active client. The switch initiates the client request to the central server to obtain the up-to-date time.
