Note
A media converter module resets after receiving a new version of
the AT-S85 Management Software. It immediately resumes
forwarding network traffic through its ports and channels using its
default settings while it initializes the new software. This process
takes approximately one minute to complete. The module is
unresponsive to management commands during the initialization
process. At the completion of the process, the module configures its
ports and channels according to the settings in either its own
auxiliary configuration file or the active master configuration file on
the management module, depending on the module’s overwrite
setting.
Description of Syntax 3
This command syntax is used to download a master configuration file from
a TFTP server to the file system of a management module. You might use
this command after editing a configuration file at your workstation or when
transferring a master configuration file from another chassis.
If, after downloading a new or edited master configuration file onto a
management module, you want to configure the modules using the file,
there are several additional commands you have to perform. First, you
must designate the file as the active configuration file for the management
module with the CONFIG SET command. Second, you must issue the
CONFIG RUN command so that the modules configure themselves
according to the commands in the file. For information, refer to Chapter 8,
“Configuration File Commands” on page 145.
Description of Syntax 4
This syntax is reserved for future versions of the management software.
Examples of Downloading the AT-S85 and AT-S97 Boot Loaders
This command downloads a new version of the AT-S85 boot loader onto
all of the media converter modules in a chassis. The IP address of the
TFTP server is 150.24.44.65 and the name of the file on the TFTP server
is “ats85.bin”:
file download srcfile=tftp://150.24.44.65/ats85.bin
dstfile=system://*/*/bootblock
Note
The above example is the preferred command for upgrading the
boot loader on the media converter modules in a chassis.
Downloading a new boot loader onto some but not all of the media
converter modules may result in compatibility problems.
