AT-S62 Management Software Command Line Interface User’s Guide
Section II: Advanced Operations 213
Note
In earlier versions of the AT-S62 management software this
command also performed switch to switch file transfers for copying
files from a master switch to other switches in an enhanced stack.
That function is now part of “UPLOAD
METHOD=REMOTESWITCH” on page 221
The DESTFILE parameter specifies a name for the file when it is stored in
the file system of the switch. Enclose the name in double quotes if it
contains a space. When specifying the new name of a downloaded file, be
sure to assign it the correct three-letter for its file type. The extensions are
shown in Table 4.
The APPBLOCK option of the DESTFILE parameter refers to the switch’s
application block, which is the portion of flash memory reserved for the
active AT-S62 image. The application block is separate from the file
system. The APPBLOCK option downloads a new version of the AT-S62
image file into the application block, making it the active image file on the
switch.
Note
The APPBLOCK option should only be used when downloading a
new AT-S62 image file and not with any other file type.
The equivalent FILE and SCRFILE parameters specify the name of the file
on the TFTP server to download onto the switch.
Before downloading a file onto a switch using TFTP, note the following:
ˆ A TFTP download is supported from a local, Telnet or SSH
management session.
ˆ There must be a node on your network that contains TFTP server
software and the file to download must be stored on the server.
