Endpoint Protection

I must update several switches via tftp and the switch keeps saying the tftp server is unreachable.

MY computer is the tftp server AND I can reach the switch's web interface...

What is a specific concrete example of what I must do to make tftp traffic pass properly between my computer and the switch??

I put a rule in my computer's SEP installation to allow UDP traffic both directions on port 69 but tftp still fails...

It is only my computer that I need to do this for and only long enough to upgrade seven switches...

Thank you, Tom

Is this an unmanaged client? If so,

Open the SEP GUI

Under Network Threat Protection select Options >> Configure Firewall Rules

Click Add

Give the Rule a name and for the Action select Allow this traffic

On the Hosts tab, you can either enter the IP of the switch ort leave it at all hosts

On the Ports and Protocols tab select the UDP protocol. For Local Ports click the dropdown and select TFTP (69)

Click OK and move the rule to the top.

That should be it.

You may need to check the NTP logs on the client, If SEP is blocking it , it would give you the rule name, then you can edit the appropriate one.

Do you need more assistance with your problem or were you able to get it resolved?

If you could post an update for followers of this thread that would be most helpful.
