Hi,

It does support IPV6 addresses:

Code: Select all

[root@gs-cent8-23-82 libexec]# ./check_tftp.sh --connect 192.168.23.86
OK - answer from server
[root@gs-cent8-23-82 libexec]# ./check_tftp.sh --connect fe80::6e61:ad35:228a:9e1d
OK - answer from server
[root@gs-cent8-23-82 libexec]# ./check_tftp.sh --get fe80::6e61:ad35:228a:9e1d file2.txt 13
OK - Received file successfully
[root@gs-cent8-23-82 libexec]#
My guess is that you need to open up your firewall on either the tftp server or your xi server or both.
Also make sure SELinux is disabled.

Let me know how it works out.

Thanks
