LOAD METHOD=TFTP

Syntax

load method=tftp destfile=”

filename

”|appblock

server=

ipaddress

srcfile|file=”

filename

Parameters

method

Specifies a TFTP download.

destfile

Specifies the destination filename for the file. The file is
assigned this name when it is stored in the switch’s file
system. The name can be from 1 to 32 alphanumeric
characters. Spaces are allowed, but special characters
(e.g., /, \, #, and %) should not be used. If the name
includes spaces, enclose it in double quotes. The name
must be unique from all other files already stored in the
file system. The command will not overwrite a preexisting
file with the same name.

The APPBLOCK option specifies the application block of
the switch’s flash memory. This is the area of memory
reserved for the switch’s active AT-S62 image file. The
APPBLOCK option is used to download a new AT-S62
image file from a TFTP server to the application block of
the switch so that it functions as the new active image file
on the switch.

server

Specifies the IP address of the TFTP server on the
network.

srcfile or file

Specifies the filename of the file on the TFTP server to
download onto the switch. If the filename contains a
space, enclose the name in double quotes. These
parameters are equivalent.

Description

A TFTP download uses the TFTP client software on the switch to
download files onto the unit from a TFTP server on your network. For
example, you might use the command to update a switch’s AT-S62 image
file or to download a different boot configuration file or a SSL public key
certificate.
