titleTFTP server configuration

sdn6 is the port #6 connected from my SOHO router to OpenWRT router.

Code Block
languagebash
themeMidnight
titleTFTP server configuration
sh run tftp                                                            
server tftp openwrt
 path /rtr/owrt/
 interface sdn6
 vrf inet
 exit
!
sh run sdn6                                                           
interface sdn6
 description mjolnir@LAN6[08:00.0]
 mtu 1500
 macaddr 004c.7307.0a77
 vrf forwarding inet
 ipv4 address 192.168.136.1 255.255.255.0
 ipv4 broadcast-multicast
 no shutdown
 no log-link-change
 exit
!
...

So the LAN port of my OpenWRT router is like this:

Code Block
languagebash
themeMidnight
titleOpenWRT config (this can be done via Web GUI)
...
config interface 'lan'
        option type 'bridge'
        option proto 'static'
        option ipaddr '192.168.136.2'
        option netmask '255.255.255.0'
        option broadcast '192.168.136.255'
        option gateway '192.168.136.1'
        option ip6assign '60'
        list dns '192.168.254.1'
        option ifname 'eth0 eth0.1 eth0.2 wlan0 wlan1' 
...

Basic connectivity check (well techincally you could not ping as it is part if TFTP restore to factory process. Remember our box crashed ! (smile) )

Code Block
languagebash
themeMidnight
titleping OpenWRT
ping 192.168.136.2 /vrf inet                                           
pinging 192.168.136.2, src=null, vrf=inet, cnt=5, len=64, tim=1000, ttl=255, tos=0, sweep=false
!!!!!
result=100%, recv/sent/lost=5/5/0, rtt min/avg/max/total=0/1/2/5

Tip
titleNote
Keep in mid that one battle is over, but this is not the end of the war. After having restored genuine official vendor image, we need to re-install OpenWRT with the latest 19.07.4 image and configure OpenWRT so that it can acts as a "dummy Wifi Access Point". DHCP, DNS will be served by the SOHO router.

Discussion

You can deploy freeRouter manually in a VM or container and bind it to a linux interface if you need a TFTP server in order to apply configuration to all your equipment. When final staging are done in a secure Out of Band management network context having a TFTP server is a blessing as it correspond to a gain of time in a production environment. Imaging hundreds of people working in a SP environment and working at the same time.
