4331 with SM-X-ES3-24-P TFTP socket error

[CAPSMAKESYOUCOOL]

Hello,

I have 4331 with SM-X-ES3-24-P switching module and Im trying to copy running config in and out using TFTP. Everything is fine on router but when I try it from switch it says socket error. Thank you for any advice!!

[Leo Laohoo]

Socket error = trying to transfer something that doesn't have an IP address

[balaji.bandi]

Have you checked from Switch, is the TFTP Server IP reachable?

 by pinging?

I have vlan 30 with ip 10.1.3.1 on router and Im connected to swich interface gig0/24 via putty ssh or COM. This switch  interface is has access vlan 30. Host PC is 10.1.3.10 .. Copy tftp works fine.. does switch need any other special configuration?

[balaji.bandi]

Trying to understand the problem, once you connected to the router it was working, what is the issue? what switch configuration you were looking?

[CAPSMAKESYOUCOOL]

I need to copy config from TFTP from my PC to router. Im connected through Putty SSH via gig0/24 which is switch interface because I have vlan 30 on my router and gig0/24 on switch is in this vlan.I enter command copy tftp: flash: on router and everything is fine. Then I connect to switch card in my router by entering command hw-module session 1/0 and when I try to copy tftp: flash: on switch it says socket error.

Hi,

I've seen a socket error when doing TFTP when the switch has either no IP address or is on the wrong subnet as the TFTP server. I also recommended to check the Routing on the Switch as well.

[CAPSMAKESYOUCOOL]

I think that IP addresses are fine because I can copy TFTP via switch to router. How can I ping from switch to TFTP server on PC?

[Deepak Kumar]

Hi,

Have you set up any username and password on the TFTP server? Share your switch configration.

[CAPSMAKESYOUCOOL]

here is my config of switch... im connected from PC to switch via interface gig0/24 which is in vlan 30. Router has interface vlan 30 IP 10.1.3.1 and PC has 10.1.3.10 which is host on TFTP.
Last two port gig0/25 and gig0/26 trunk because of communication to router from switch card.
I made ip tftp source-interface GigabitEthernet0/24 aswell as you can see..

looks for me now it is configuration issue :

look at the config guide and make config appropriate or post full configuration to have look at what is wrong?

https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/routers/access/interfaces/eesm/software/configuration/guide/4451_config.html

[CAPSMAKESYOUCOOL]

So here is my switch config.I connect to switch from router by using command hw-module session 1/0. I have vlan 30 on router with IP 10.1.3.1 255.255.255.0 .PC has IP 10.1.3.10 255.255.255.0 which is host IP on TFTPd64 server.

Last two ports gig0/25 and gig0/26 are trunk because of connectivity from switch card to routed. Im connected via switch interface gig0/24 through SSH or console cable. I can transfer files just to or from router, when i try to transfer to switch it says socket errror... I had problems with router but I added command ip tftp source-interface GigabitEthernet0/24 and it started working.. but just on router.. not switch..

TFTP security on TFTP setting is NONE, address is set, base directory aswell.. firewall off, no antivirus... 

Is it posible to transfer files from router to switch card by using some other way? Because I can send config to router and then send it to switch if it is possible... THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME!

Since this Switch module do not have any IP configured you can not have route to reach the TFTP Server.

Rather you can do out of the box Linux with expect command, SSH to router and connect to session and get the config and save in the secure place.

[CAPSMAKESYOUCOOL]

Thank you so much for this but I have no idea about Linux. Is there any chance to solve problem via SSH or console cable? So I need to assign IP to last ports that are trunking connection between router ( ethinternal 1/0/0,1/0/1) and switch( gig0/25 and 0/26)

[CAPSMAKESYOUCOOL]

I tried on trunking ports on router ethInternal1/0/0 and 1/0/1 and trunking ports on switch gig0/17 and gig0/18 ti give them access to vlan 10, so they will have IP but its worked only on one pair of them.. They are supposed to work like connection between router and switch.. am I right? Is there any command like COPY from router to switch card or something like that?

Switch is on router like:         

subslot 1/0     switch=SM-X-ES3-16-P

I need to copy config from router to switch...
