Downloading a File
This procedure downloads 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:
ˆ AT-S62 image file
ˆ Boot configuration file
ˆ CA certificate
Caution
Installing a new AT-S62 image file invokes a switch reset. Some
network traffic may be lost. A switch reset is also invoked when
downloading a configuration file as the switch’s new active boot
configuration file.
Note the following before you begin this procedure:
ˆ You must use TFTP to download a file from a web browser
management session.
ˆ There must be a node on your network that has TFTP server software.
ˆ The file to be downloaded must be stored on the TFTP server node.
ˆ You must start the TFTP server before you begin the download
procedure.
ˆ The AT-S62 image file contains the bootloader for the switch. You
cannot load the image file and bootloader separately.
ˆ Installing a new AT-S62 software image does not change the current
configuration of a switch (for instance, IP address, subnet mask, and
virtual LANs).
ˆ The switch receiving the file must have an IP address and subnet
mask, such as a master switch of an enhanced stack. For a switch
without an IP address, such a slave switch, you can download the file
from a local management session of the switch using Xmodem or,
alternatively, switch to switch. For instructions, refer to the AT-S62
Management Software Menus Interface User’s Guide or the AT-S62
Management Software Command Line Interface User’s Guide.
To download a file, perform the following procedure:
1. From the Home Page, select Configuration.
2. Select the Utilities menu option.
3. Select the System Utilities tab.
