Uploading an AT-S62 Image File Switch to Switch
This procedure explains how to upload an AT-S62 software image from a
master AT-8500 Series switch to other AT-8500 Series switches in an
enhanced stack. Commonly referred to as a switch to switch transfer, this
transfer method can simplify the task of updating the AT-S62 image file
in the AT-8500 Series switches in an enhanced stack. Rather than
manually updating the switches, you can update the master switch’s
image file and then instruct it to upload its image file to the other
switches, automatically. (For instructions on how to update the AT-S62
image file on a master switch, refer to Downloading a New AT-S62 Image
File onto a Switch on page 175.)
Note
This procedure can be performed from a local or Telnet
management session.
To upload a management software image from a master switch to other
AT-8500 Series switches in the same enhanced stack, perform the
following procedure:
1. From the Main Menu, type 8 to select Enhanced Stacking.
The Enhanced Stacking menu is shown in Figure 5 on page 49.
2. From the Enhanced Stacking menu, type 2 to select Stacking Services.
Note
The “2 - Stacking Services” selection is only available on a master
switch.
The Stacking Services menu is shown in Figure 6 on page 50.
3. Type 1 to select Get/Refresh List of Switches. The master switch polls
the subnet for all enhanced stacking switches and displays the
switches in the Stacking Services menu.
4. Type 4 to select Load Image/Bootloader File.
The following prompt is displayed:
Enter the list of switches ->
5. Enter the number (Num column in the menu) of the AT-8500 Series
switch whose software you want to update. You can specify more
than one switch at a time (for example, 2,4,5).
Note
The AT-S62 image file is only supported on AT-8500 Series switches.
