LOAD METHOD=LOCAL
Syntax
load method=local destfile=appblock
srcfile|file=[cflash:]
filename
Parameters
method Specifies a local download.
destfile Specifies the application block (APPBLOCK) of the
switch’s flash memory. This is the area of memory
reserved for the switch’s active AT-S63 image file.
srcfile or file Specifies the filename of the AT-S63 image file in the file
system to be downloaded into the application block. If the
image file is stored on a compact flash card, precede the
filename with “cflash:”. If the filename contains a space,
enclose it in double quotes. These parameters are
equivalent.
Description
This command downloads an AT-S63 image file from the switch’s file
system into the application block, which is the section of flash memory
reserved for the active AT-S63 running image. This function makes the
AT-S63 file the new active image file on the switch. This command
assumes that at some earlier point you downloaded a new version of the
AT-S63 image file into the file system of a switch and now want to copy it
into application block so that it becomes the switch’s active image file.
This command can also be used to download an AT-S63 image file from a
compact flash card into the application block.
When performing a local download, note the following:
ˆ The AT-S63 management image file must already be stored in the
switch’s file system or on a compact flash card.
ˆ The command must include the DESTFILE parameter with the
APPBLOCK option.
ˆ Use the SRCFILE or FILE parameter to specify the name of the
AT-S63 image file in the switch’s file system or on the compact flash
card.
ˆ The current configuration of a switch is retained when a new AT-S63
software image is copied to the application block.
