Workarounds

The administrator can disable TFTP for Cisco PI by navigating in the web interface to Administration > Settings > System Settings > Server > TFTP. In Cisco PI, TFTP is used for internal operations such as image transfer, configuration, and archives. The administrator can instead use a secure protcotol such as Secure Copy Protocol (SCP) or SFTP for these functions.
