Chapter 13: File Download and Upload Commands
214 Section II: Advanced Operations
ˆ You should start the TFTP server software before you perform the
download command.
ˆ The switch where you are downloading the file must have an IP
address and subnet mask, such as a master switch. For switches
without an IP address, such as a slave switch, you can perform an
Xmodem download from a local management session or, alternatively,
a switch to switch upload using “UPLOAD
METHOD=REMOTESWITCH” on page 221.
ˆ If you are downloading a configuration file, the switch does not
automatically designate it as its active boot configuration file. To
designate a configuration file as the active boot file after you have
downloaded it onto the switch, refer to “SET CONFIG” on page 205.
ˆ The AT-S62 software image can be downloaded only onto an AT-8500
Series switch.
ˆ The current configuration of a switch is retained when a new AT-S62
software image is installed.
ˆ The AT-S62 image file contains the bootloader for the switch. You
cannot load the image file and bootloader separately.
ˆ If you download a new AT-S62 image file and enter a filename for the
DESTFILE parameter instead of APPBLOCK, the file is stored in the
switch’s file system. To copy the image file from the file system to the
application block so that its used by the switch as its active image file,
refer to “UPLOAD METHOD=LOCAL” on page 219.
Note
Downloading an AT-S62 image file into a switch’s file system rather
than into the application block should be perform with care. The file
will take up nearly all 2 megabytes of space in the file system.
Examples
The following command downloads a new configuration file into the
switch’s file system using TFTP. The configuration file is stored as “sw
111.cfg” on the TFTP server and is given the name “sw56a.cfg” when
stored in the switch’s file system. The TFTP server has the IP address
149.55.55.55:
load method=tftp destfile=sw56a.cfg server=149.55.55.55
srcfile=”sw 111.cfg”
The following command downloads an SSL certificate to the switch’s file
system. The name of the file on the TFTP server is “sw12_ssl.cer”. The
same name is used for the file in the switch’s file system:
load method=tftp destfile=sw12_ssl.cer server=149.44.44.44
srcfile=sw12_ssl.cer
