If you're asking what I think you're asking:

systemctl enable tftp # This adds a symlink for tftp into the (target? 
Milestone? One of those), equivalent to saying "/etc/rc2.d is done, now let's 
go to rc3.d".
systemctl start tftp # This tries to start it
systemctl status tftp # This gives you success, or debug information if it 
didn't work.

If I missed your question entirely, then can you word it differently?

    I need help with how to enable tftp service. I am trying to get something 
done 
    and I have no patience for systemd's convoluted logic.
    
    The tftp-server installs
    
    (1) /etc/xinetd.d/tftp
    
    (2) tftp.socket  (what's this?)
    
    (3) tftp.service
    
    Manually, I can start the service and everything works. But enabling the 
service 
    stays disabled or indirect. Enabling the socket does not start the service 
on 
    reboot. Do I need xinetd or does systemd deprecate xinetd?
    
    Geez!  I miss the old days when Unix was simple.
