How to make N9K as a TFTP Server

[Loomit]

Is there a command on NX-OS for switch to become a TFTP Server like on Catalyst IOS tftp-server flash:"filename"

Hi there,

Unfortunately, the Nexus 9K series does not support the TFTP Server feature; however, you can certainly configure it as an SFTP or SCP Server as a workaround:

N9K-VTEP-11# conf t
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
N9K-VTEP-11(config)# feature scp-server 
N9K-VTEP-11(config)# feature sftp-server 

More info on these two features here: https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/switches/datacenter/nexus9000/sw/7-x/security/configuration/guide/b_Cisco_Nexus_9000_Series_NX-OS_Security_Configuration_Guide_7x/b_Cisco_Nexus_9000_Series_NX-OS_Security_Configuration_Guide_7x_chapter_0111.html#...

Hope that helps.

  This means that if one of two remote Nexus  fails then I can't use the second one as server if I have the loader> prompt (there is only tftp option). I'm right? 

Thankyou
