TFTP File Cache
The TFTP cache feature allows copies of frequently requested files to be
temporarily stored on the BSGX4e. If a file requested by a LAN device is found in the
cache, it can be immediately sent to the client.
File caching provides the following benefits:
Avoids unnecessary WAN bandwidth usage for frequently requested files,
especially if several user devices exist, such as VoIP phones
Improves scalability of VoIP service from a service provider, by reducing load on
the central file servers that are used for provisioning user devices
NOTE: The TFTP relay function must be enabled.

> config relay tftp cache
