8.4.2 (Optional) Configuring a Source IP Address for a TFTP Client
You can configure a source IP address for a TFTP client and then use the source IP address to
set up a TFTP connection from the TFTP client to the server along a specific route.
Context
An IP address is configured for an interface on the router and functions as the source IP address
of a TFTP connection. This allows implementation of security checks.
The source address of a client can be configured as a source interface or a source IP address.
Do as follows on a router that functions as a TFTP client.
Procedure
Step 1 Run:
system-view
The system view is displayed.
Step 2 Run:
tftp client-source { -a source-ip-address | -i interface-type interface-number }
A source IP address of a TFTP client is configured.
After the configuration, the source IP address of the TFTP client displayed on the TFTP server
must be the same as the configured one.

8.4.3 (Optional) Configuring TFTP Access Authority
This section describes how to use an ACL rule to authorize the users to specify the TFTP servers
that can be accessed by using TFTP from the router that you have logged in to.
Context
An Access Control List (ACL) is a set of sequential rules. These rules are described based on
the source address, destination address, and port number of a packet. Routers use the ACL rules
to filter packets. With the rule applied to the interface on a router, the router permits or denies
the packets.
Each ACL can define multiple rules. ACL rules are classified into the interface ACL, basic ACL,
and advanced ACL based on the functions of ACL rules.
NOTE
TFTP supports only the basic ACL (whose number ranges from 2000 to 2999).
Do as follows on the router that serves as the TFTP client:
