Chapter 13: File System Commands

ˆ There must be a node on your network that contains the TFTP server
software and the file to be downloaded must be stored on that server.
ˆ Start the TFTP server software before you perform the download
command.
ˆ The switch to which you are uploading the file must have an IP
address and subnet mask, such as a master switch of an enhanced
stack. You cannot use TFTP on a slave switch because that type of
switch typically does not have an IP address. Perform the download
from a local management session of the switch using Xmodem, or,
switch to switch using the REMOTESWITCH option.
Examples
Xmodem and TFTP Upload Examples
The following command uses Xmodem to upload a switch’s configuration
file called “sw22 boot.cfg” from a local management session:
upload method=xmodem file="sw22 boot.cfg"
After entering the command, use your terminal emulator program to
indicate where you want to store the file on your computer and its
filename.
The following command uploads a switch’s configuration file using TFTP:
upload method=tftp file=switch4.cfg destfile=switch4.cfg
server=149.36.11.21
Switch to Switch Upload Examples
The following command uploads the AT-S63 image file on the master
switch to switches 2 and 4 in an enhanced stack. (Switch numbers are
displayed using “SHOW REMOTELIST” on page 100.)
upload method=remoteswitch file=ats63.img switchlist=2,4
You can use the REMOTESWITCH option from either a local or a Telnet
management session. However, the switch on which you are executing
the command must be the master switch of the enhanced stack.
The following command downloads a boot configuration file on the master
switch to slave switch 2:
load method=remoteswitch destfile=boot.cfg switchlist=2
Management Station to Compact Flash Card Example
The following command uploads a configuration file called “switch.cfg”
from a management station to a file with the same name on a compact
