Caution
After a switch receives the AT-S62 image file, it 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.
You can upload the AT-S62 image file from the master switch to more
than one switch at a time. The following command uploads the active
image file to switches 4, 8, and 15:
upload method=remoteswitch srcfile=appblock
switchlist=4,8,15
The following command uploads the switch active boot configuration file
from the master switch to switches 11 and 12:
upload method=remoteswitch srcfile=switchcfg
switchlist=11,12
Since the current configuration file was designated with the SWITCHCFG
option rather than its filename, the following information in the file is not
included in the upload: IP address, subnet mask, gateway address, switch
name, contact, location, and the master mode setting. However, the
switch receiving the configuration file does not retain its current settings to
these parameters. Rather, they are returned to their default values.
Caution
After a switch receives the configuration file, it resets 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 uploads the configuration file “sales_switches.cfg”
from a master switch to switch 4:
upload method=remoteswitch srcfile=sales_switches.cfg
switchlist=4
After the switch receives the file, it marks the file as its active boot
configuration file and automatically resets so that it starts running with the
new settings.
Since the configuration file was designated by its filename, the entire file
without modification is uploaded. This type of configuration file upload
should be performed with care. If the configuration file contains a
command that assigns the switch a set IP address, more than one switch
could end up with the same IP address.
