Chapter 9
File Downloads and Uploads
This chapter describes how to download AT-S70 software image and
configuration updates and contains the following sections:
ˆ “File Uploads and Downloads Overview” on page 113
ˆ “File Download Guidelines” on page 114
ˆ “Downloading Software Image Files” on page 118
ˆ “Downloading Line Card Image Files” on page 123
ˆ “Downloading and Uploading Configuration File” on page 127
Note the following before you begin the procedure:
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 Installing a new AT-S70 software image onto the chassis does not
change the current configuration; for example, its IP address, subnet
mask, and name (if already assigned).
Note
The chassis stops forwarding Ethernet traffic after it has downloaded
the image file and begun to initialize the software. Some network
traffic may be lost.
The following procedures assume that you have already obtained the new
software from Allied Telesyn and stored it on the management workstation
from which you will be performing the procedure, or on the TFTP server.
