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. This 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.
Note the following before downloading a file onto a switch using Xmodem:
An Xmodem download is only possible from a local management
session on a switch.
Xmodem can only download a file onto the switch where you started
the local management session. It cannot download a file through
enhanced stacking.
The file to download must be stored on the computer or terminal
connected to the RS232 Terminal Port on the switch.
The transfer protocol can be Xmodem or 1K Xmodem.
When downloading a new configuration file, the switch does not
automatically designate the file as its active boot configuration file. To
designate a configuration file as the active boot file, refer to “SET
CONFIG” on page 205.
The AT-S62 software image is only supported on AT-8500 Series
switches.
The current configuration of a switch is retained when a new AT-S62
software image is installed.
The AT-S62 image file contains the bootloader for the switch. You
cannot load the image file and bootloader separately.
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 an image file from the file system to the
switch’s application block, refer to “LOAD METHOD=LOCAL” on
page 210.
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.
