Information About IPv6 Support for TFTP
TFTP IPv6 Support
TFTP is designed to transfer files over the network from one host to another using the most minimal set of functionality possible. TFTP uses a client/server model in which clients can request to copy files to or from a server. TFTP uses UDP over IPv4 or IPv6 as its transport, and it can work over IPv4 and IPv6 network layers.
TFTP File Downloading for IPv6
IPv6 supports TFTP file downloading and uploading using the copy command. The copy command accepts a destination IPv6 address or IPv6 hostname as an argument and saves the running configuration of the device to an IPv6 TFTP server, as follows:
Device# copy running-config tftp://[3ffe:xxxx:c18:1:290:27ff:fe3a:9e9a]/running-config
