If a request can not be granted, or some error occurs during the We bundle (and support) version 3.86, but I believe mboot is at least compatible with pxelinux version 4.0x (although not officially supported at all), and my research here suggests that pxelinux 4.0x does seem to close all of its TFTP connections. You might be able to work around the problem by using a newer version of pxelinux. an ERROR packet (opcode 5) is sent." - but it does mean that the server could reasonably be expected to be resilient against not receiving them. That doesn't excuse us not even trying to send the ERROR packet - the RFC does say ".
RFC 1350 - The TFTP Protocol (Revision 2) section 7 clearly that any ERROR packet is only a courtesy and won't be reliably received (no retransmits, etc.). which would explain the lack of any TFTP ERROR packets to abort the connection. side and send a courtesy ERROR packet to the server. XXX: We should check to see if this file is still open on the server its PXE close_file function has the following comment attached to it: Thanks for the awesome detailed post! It looks like we're using an older version of pxelinux. See the attached Wireshark traffic capture Kernel_efi64 = /NWA_PXE/$HEAD_DIR$/EFI/BOOT/ BOOTX64.efiĪppend_efi64 = -c /NWA_PXE/$HEAD_DIR$/BOOT.CFG In this case it is VMware BOOTX64.efi (not mboot.c32) the one in charge of the client side of the TFTP transfers. On the other hand installing ESXi 6 on UEFI targets presents the classic TFTP initial sequence not leaving behind orphan transfers. Serva ) that control the number of orphan TFTP transfers in order to prevent This presents several problems with TFTP servers (i.e. Those 151 files "again" this time for really retrieving them. Mboot.c32 consecutively requests the 151 files listed at BOOT.CFG but it "forgets to Abort" those request next it requests On BIOS targets the VMware provided mboot.c32is the TFTP client in charge of transferring the components listed at BOOT.CFG. Server with an "Option Acknowledgment" returning "tsize=xxxx", then the client "Aborts" the transfer and checks that the returnedįile size is OK, then the client performs a second "Read Request" this time really transferring the requested file.

Interrupted by client, cause: Path cannot be null (some kind of crazy character) Parameter name: path
the file path specified is: /WLC/config/ the filename specified is: config.tar (not sure if this is correct)Īfter trying to upload, the WLC says "File transfer failed!" In the WLC, I have specified the IP address of the server running TFTP server. I have a folder called C:\TFTP-Root\WLC\config I'm using the default C:\TFTP-Root folder. I'm trying to upload the configuration of our Cisco Wireless LAN Controller. It is configured to send and receive files.

I have downloaded and installed Solarwinds Free TFTP server v9.2.0.110
