Downloading a
File Using
Xmodem or
TFTP
The following procedures describe how to download certificate,
certificate enrollment requests, configuration, and key files. See Table 5
on page 168 for a list of file types and their extensions. To download an
image file, see Downloading an Image File Using Xmodem or TFTP on
page 173.
If you are downloading a configuration file, there are some precautions
you need to take. Downloading a configuration file from one AT-8400
switch to another is useful in networks that contain a large number of
AT-8400 chassis with identical hardware configurations-- that is, the
same number of line cards and the same types of line cards installed in
the same slots of the chassis. For example, two AT-8400 chassis with 8
AT-8411 line cards installed in slots 1 through 8 have identical hardware
configurations.
Caution
If you download a configuration file onto a switch with a different
hardware configuration, you may halt the operation of your switch.
To download a file using Xmodem or TFTP, perform the following
procedure:
1. Start a local management session on the switch where you intend to
download the new management software or configuration file.
2. From the Main Menu, type 4 to select Administration Menu.
3. From the Administration Menu, type D to select Downloads &
Uploads.
