An XMODEM upload uses the Xmodem utility to upload a file from the
switch’s file system to a terminal or computer with a terminal emulator
program connected to the serial terminal port on the switch. You can use
the command to upload a switch’s active boot configuration file or any
other file from the file system, such as an SSL certificate enrollment
request or a public encryption key. The command also allows you to
upload the switch’s active AT-S62 software image from the application
block to a your terminal or workstation, though it is unlikely you would ever
have need for that function.

that you want to upload from the switch. You have three options:
ˆ SWITCHCFG - Uploads the switch’s active boot configuration file.
ˆ filename - Uploads a file from the switch’s file system. This differs from
the SWITCHCFG parameter in that the latter uploads just the active
