Downloading a File

This procedure explains how to download a file from a TFTP server on
your network to the switch using the web browser interface. You can
download any of the following files:

❑ AT-S62 image file

❑ Boot configuration file

❑ Public key

❑ CA certificate

Note

The public key and CA certificate are only supported on the version
of AT-S62 management software that features SSL, PKI, and SSH
security.

Caution

Installing a new AT-S62 image file will invoke a switch reset. Some
network traffic may be lost.

Note the following before you begin this procedure:

❑ You must use TFTP to download a file from a web browser

management session.

❑ There must be a node on your network that has TFTP server

software.

❑ The file to be downloaded must be stored on the TFTP server

node.

❑ You should start the TFTP server before you begin the download

procedure.

❑ The AT-S62 image file contains the bootloader for the switch. You

cannot load the image file and bootloader separately.

❑ Installing a new AT-S62 software image does not change the

current configuration of a switch (for instance, IP address, subnet
mask, and virtual LANs).

❑ The switch on which you are downloading 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, since that type of
switch typically does not have an IP address. Rather, you would
need to perform the download from a local management session
