File 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. The general file
downloading are:
ˆ If you are downloading a new AT-S70 software image, the current
configuration settings of the chassis (for instance, IP address and port
security settings) are not changed.
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). It is not recommended that you download
a configuration file onto a chassis with a different model (for example,
AT-CV5000 and AT-CV1200). Undesired system behavior may result.
Caution
Downloading a new AT-S70 image file or configuration file will cause
a chassis to reset. Some network traffic may be lost. However,
uploading a configuration file will NOT interrupt traffic.
