switch’s flash memory. This is the area of memory
reserved for the switch’s active AT-S63 image file.
srcfile or file Specifies the filename of the AT-S63 image file in the file
system that you want to download into the application
block. If the filename contains a space, enclose it in

De s c r i pt i on
This command downloads an AT-S63 image file from the switch’s file
system into the application block, which is the section of flash memory
reserved for the active AT-S63 running image. This function makes the
AT-S63 file the new active image file on the switch. This command
assumes that at some earlier point you downloaded a new version of the
AT-S63 image file into the file system of a switch and now want to make it
the switch’s active image file.
When performing a local download, note the following:
ˆ The AT-S63 management image file must already be stored in the
switch’s file system.
ˆ The command must include the DESTFILE parameter with the
APPBLOCK option.
ˆ Use the SRCFILE or FILE parameter to specify the name of the
AT-S63 image file as it is stored in the switch’s file system.
ˆ The current configuration of a switch is retained when a new AT-S63
software image copied to the application block.
ˆ After downloading an image file from the file system to the application
block, you can delete the image file from the file system to free up
space for other files.
