File Upload and Download Guidelines
This sections covers the general guidelines that apply to downloading files
from both local and remote management sessions. Refer to the sections
below for guidelines apply to each management session.
General
Guidelines
ˆ You can download a new AT-S70 image file onto the chassis from
either a local or Telnet management session.
ˆ You can use Xmodem or TFTP to download the image file from a local
management session.
ˆ You must use TFTP to download the image file from a Telnet
management session.
ˆ To use TFTP, there must be a node on your network that contains the
TFTP server software, and the new AT-S70 image file must be stored
on that node.
ˆ If you are using TFTP, you should start the TFTP server before you
begin the download procedure.
ˆ All chassis models in the Converteon™ Series use the same
management software image.
ˆ If you are downloading a new AT-S70 software image onto the
chassis, the current configuration settings of the chassis (for instance,
IP address and port security settings) are not changed.
Configuration
File Guidelines
ˆ If you are downloading a new configuration file, the current
configuration settings of a chassis are overwritten by the configuration
settings contained in the file. This includes the IP address, subnet
mask, and DHCP status.
ˆ A configuration file should only be downloaded onto a chassis of the
same model from which the configuration file originated (for example,
AT-CV5000 to AT-CV5000).
Note
If you download a configuration file onto a chassis with a different
model, for example, AT-CV5000 to AT-CV1200, undesired system
behavior may result.
Caution
Downloading a new AT-S70 image file or configuration file resets the
chassis. Some network traffic may be lost. However, uploading a
configuration file will NOT interrupt traffic.
