The following command downloads a new version of the AT-S62 software
image directly to the switch’s application block, making it the active image
file on the switch. The IP address of the TFTP server is 149.11.11.11 and
the name of the image file on the server is “ats63v120.img”:

load method=tftp destfile=appblock server=149.11.11.11
srcfile=ats63v120.img

Caution

After downloading an AT-S62 image file and writing it to the
application block portion of flash memory, the switch resets and
initializes its management software. The entire process can take a
minute or so to complete. Do not interrupt the process by resetting or
power cycling the switch. Some network traffic may be lost during
the process.

The following command downloads a new version of the AT-S62 image file
from a TFTP server to the switch’s file system, changing the name from
“ats63v1_2_0.img” to “ats63.img”:

load method=tftp destfile=ats63.img server=149.11.11.11
srcfile=ats63v1_2_0.img

Since the file is downloaded to the switch’s file system and not to the
application block, it is not used as the switch’s active image file. If, at
some point in the future, you want to make it the active image file, refer
to “UPLOAD METHOD=LOCAL” on page 219.
