I'm trying to update the firmware on my extreme networks summit 48 switch. I have tried a few different TFTP software such as OpenTFTP and SolarWind TFTP. I get the error saying can't connect to tftp server
I think I might have a missing element which would be DHCP, I'm not sure but I think that might be the part missing to why my switch can't connect. I know TFTP should be enable by default in Windows Server 2008, but I don't know which folder I need to put the firmware file in.
Any suggestion?

Is the specific error "Unable to connect" to TFTP server? Try verifying the following:
- Does the switch's VLAN interface have a valid IP address?
- Is the server reachable? Can you ping it?
- Is the server actually listening on the correct port? Try looking for UDP port 69 in netsat (netstat -ano)
- You could also run Wireshark or Tshark on your server to see if packets are incoming and if responses are being sent. Be sure to run it on the switch if you can, as Wireshark won't pick up traffic that's been blocked by the firewall (also see if the firewall is blocking UDP port 69).
