Downloading a File
This procedure explains how to download a file from a TFTP server on
your network to the switch using the web browser interface. You can
download any of the following files:
AT-S63 image file
Boot configuration file
CA certificate
Note
The CA certificate is supported only on the version of AT-S63
management software that features SSL, PKI, and SSH security.
Guidelines
Here are general guidelines to follow when performing this procedure:
You must use TFTP to download a file from a web browser
management session.
There must be a node on your network with the TFTP server software.
The file to download must be stored on the TFTP server node.
You should start the TFTP server before you begin the download
procedure.
The switch receiving the downloaded file must have an IP address and
subnet mask, such as a master switch of an enhanced stack. If the
switch does not have an IP address, such a slave switch, you can
download the file from a local management session using Xmodem or,
alternatively, switch to switch. For instructions, refer to the AT-S63
Management Software Menus Interface User’s Guide.
You cannot download a private encryption key onto a switch, but you
can a public key. However, since the switch can only use those
encryption keys that it has generated itself, Allied Telesyn
recommends against downloading any keys onto the switch.
You cannot download a file to a compact flash memory card in a switch
using the web browser interface.
If you are downloading the AT-S63 image file, note these additional
guidelines:
All models of the AT-9400 Series switch use the same AT-S63 image
file.
The AT-S63 image file contains the bootloader for the switch. You
cannot load the image file and bootloader separately.
