The DESTFILE parameter specifies a name for the file when it is stored in
the file system or a flash memory card in the switch. Enclose the name in
double quotes if it contains a space. When specifying the new name of a
downloaded file, be sure to give it the correct three-letter extension that
corresponds to its file type. The extensions are shown in Table 4.
To store a file in a flash memory card, the destination filename must be
preceded with “cflash:”.
The APPBLOCK option of the DESTFILE parameter refers to the switch’s
application block, which is a portion of flash memory separate from the file
system reserved for the active AT-S63 image. The APPBLOCK option
downloads a new version of the AT-S63 image file into the application
block, making it the active image file on the switch.
Note
The APPBLOCK option can only be used to download a new
AT-S63 image file.
Note
To upgrade the AT-S63 Management Software on the switches of a
stack, you must disconnect the stacking cables and upgrade the
switches individually. Do not attempt to upgrade the AT-S63
Management Software while the switches are part of a stack.
The equivalent FILE and SCRFILE parameters specify the name of the file
on the TFTP server to download onto the switch.
Before downloading a file onto a switch using TFTP, note the following:
ˆ A TFTP download is supported from a local, Telnet or SSH
management session.
ˆ There must be a node on your network that contains TFTP server
software and the file to be downloaded must be stored on the server.

(An AT-S63 image file is assigned a
named only if you are downloading
the file into the switch’s file system
instead of the application block.)
