Chapter 13: File Download and Upload Commands
218 Section II: Advanced Operations
Examples
The following command downloads a new configuration file onto the
switch. The configuration file is given the name “switch12.cfg” in the
switch’s file system:
load method=xmodem destfile=switch12.cfg
The source file is not specified when downloading a file using Xmodem.
After you enter the command, the management software displays a
confirmation prompt followed by another prompt instructing you to begin
the file transfer. To start the transfer, you use your terminal emulation
program to specify the file on your workstation to download.
The following command uses Xmodem to download an SSL certificate into
the switch’s file system and assigns it the name sw12 ssl.cer:
load method=xmodem destfile=”sw12 ssl.cer”
The following command uses the APPBLOCK option of the DESTFILE
parameter to download a new version of the AT-S62 software image
directly to the application block, making the file the active image file on the
switch:
load method=xmodem destfile=appblock
Caution
After downloading an AT-S62 image file and writing it to the
application block portion of flash memory, the switch resets itself
and initializes the 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 to the switch’s file system instead of the application block. It does this
by replacing the APPBLOCK option with a filename, in this case
“ats63v1_2_0.img”. The image file is stored in the switch’s file system with
this name:
load method=xmodem destfile=ats63v1_2_0.img
Since the file is stored in the switch’s file system and not the application
block, the switch does not use it as its active image file. If, at some point in
the future, you want to make it the active image file, use “LOAD
METHOD=LOCAL” on page 210.
