Description
An XMODEM upload uses the Xmodem utility to upload a file from the
switch’s file system to a terminal or computer with a terminal emulator
program connected to the serial terminal port on the switch. You can use
the command to upload a switch’s active boot configuration file or any
other file from the file system, such as an SSL certificate enrollment
request or a public encryption key. You can also use this command to
upload a file on a compact flash memory card to your workstation. The
command also allows you to upload the switch’s active AT-S63 software
image from the application block to a your terminal or workstation, though
it is unlikely you would ever have need for that function.
When performing an Xmodem upload, note the following:
ˆ An Xmodem upload must be performed from a local management
session.
ˆ Xmodem can only upload a file from the switch where you started the
local management session. Xmodem cannot upload a file from a
switch accessed through enhanced stacking.
