I believe your switch is trying to TFTP something out. If thats the case you arent going to find it coming in through a port. I would check the settings for syslog or even some kind of update lookup mechanism.<br />
<br />
If something is bombarding your switch, do you have network monitoring of some kind or perhaps an HP management device?

Thanks Nathan for your response. What I ended up doing was using the command: 
<pre><code id="code-20-42949599-1">ip ssh filetransfer</code></pre>
 to turn off TFTP since we don't need to use it. And that stopped the errors from coming through! <br />
<br />
We do have a network monitoring, we use Auvik.

We have a switch that it's log is being flooded with the described message above in the subject line. How do I find out what port is causing this issue? Or how can I stop this from happening? <br />

Switch log being flooded with tftp: SENT error:4, msg: Illegal TFTP operation

A switch is a device that filters and forwards packets of data between LAN segments. Switches operate at the data link layer or the network layer of the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) Reference Model and therefore support any packet protocol. LANs that use switches to join segments are called switched LANs or, in the case of Ethernet networks, switched Ethernet LANs. A hub is a connection point for devices in a network. Hubs are commonly used to connect segments of a LAN. A hub contains multiple ports; when a packet arrives at one port, it is copied to the other ports so that all segments of the LAN can see all packets.
