LOAD METHOD=TFTP

Syntax

load method=tftp destfile=appblock|filename
server=ipaddress srcfile|file=filename

Parameters

method

Specifies a TFTP download.

destfile

Specifies the destination filename for the file. This is the
name given to the file when it is stored in the switch’s
file system. The name can be from 1 to 15 alphanumeric
characters, not including the three-letter extension. If
the name includes spaces, enclose it in double quotes.
The name must be unique from any files already stored
in the file system. The command will not overwrite a
preexisting file with the same name.

The APPBLOCK option specifies the application block of
the switch’s flash memory. This is the area of memory
reserved for the switch’s active AT-S62 image file. The
APPBLOCK option is used to download a new AT-S62
image file from a TFTP server to the application block of
the switch so that it functions as the new active image
file on the switch.

server

Specifies the IP address of the TFTP server on the
network.

srcfile or file

Specifies the filename of the file on the TFTP server to
download onto the switch. If the filename contains a
space, enclose the name in double quotes. These
parameters are equivalent.

Description

An TFTP download uses the TFTP client software on the switch to
download files onto the unit from a TFTP server on your network. For
example, you might use the command to update a switch’s AT-S62
image file, or to download a different boot configuration file or a SSL
public key certificate.
