Downloading
Files to the
Switch with
Zmodem
You may use Zmodem to download boot configuration files and encryption
key certificates to the file system in the switch. To download a file using
Zmodem:
1. Store the boot configuration file on the terminal or workstation you
intend to use during the local management session of the switch.
2. Start a local management session on the switch. For instructions, refer
to “Starting a Local Management Session” on page 76.
3. Enter this command in the Privileged Exec mode:
awplus# copy zmodem
You will see this prompt:
Waiting to receive ...
4. Use your terminal or terminal emulator program to begin the download.
The download must be Zmodem.
After receiving the entire file, the switch stores it in the file system.
5. To confirm that the switch received the file, use the DIR command in
the Privileged Exec mode to list the files in the file system.
6. If you downloaded a boot configuration file and want to designate it as
the active boot configuration file on the switch, use the BOOT
CONFIG-FILE command in the Global Configuration mode:
boot config-file filename .cfg
This example of the command designates “switch2a.cfg” as the
switch’s new active boot configuration file:
awplus# configure terminal
awplus(config)# boot config-file switch2a.cfg
