We have to attach the server endpoint in our network, packet tracer has provided us with many endpoint devices and one of them is the server, this server provides many services including FTP and TFTP.Īssign an IP address to the server, the IP address should be of the reachable network test the connectivity to the server via ping command. In this lab, we will configure the TFTP server however FTP server can also be configured in the same way.

It is always a good practice to save the Cisco device configuration and IOS to the external server so, in the case of hardware failure we can easily restore the configuration and reduce the significant downtime.Ĭonfiguring TFTP and FTP servers in packet tracer is fairly easy. In this packet tracer lab, We will back up and restore the files using the following commands.įirst of all, we will configure the TFTP server in the packet tracer that we are using to transfer the files.įTP and TFTP servers provide file transferability so using this server, we can back up and restore various files between end devices like PC to PC and we can also use these servers to back and restore running-config, startup-config, and Cisco IOS.
