This is one case where ping will work but TFTP will fail, even with no firewall running. The routers that were one hop away used that allowed network to get back to the TFTP server (via static routes on the cable router), but the one router directly connected was on a network not listed in hosts.allow (and I have ALL:ALL in ny). In my case, I found that my hosts.allow file on the TFTP server box was only configured to allow the network with the cable router and no other networks. One of my routers was directly connected to the network with the raspberry pi and it was NOT connecting! It could ping the IP address just fine, but no TFTP.

Two of my routers were each one hop away from the TFTP server (a raspberry pi). I had to enter static routes on the dlink to get packets back to the cisco routers.

The user will start an TFTP client program. R1 is a Cisco device and it has a TFTP server installed. I have them all connected to my cable internet router (dlink dgl-4500). A user wants to transfer files from Host A to the router R1. I have 3 routers (two 1841's and one 2801) and 3 switches (all 2950's) for my CCNA lab at home. Not erased when the router or switch is reloaded. copy startup-config tftp tftp-ip-addr filename - Use this command to upload a copy of the startup configuration file from the Layer 2 Switch or Layer 3.
