❑ Encryption key

The METHOD parameter states the type of upload. There are two
possible types of uploads. A TFTP upload uses the TFTP client software
on the switch to upload a file from the switch to a TFTP server on your
network. You can perform this type of upload from either a local or
Telnet management session.

The XMODEM download method uses the XMODEM utility to upload a
file from the switch to a terminal or computer with a terminal emulator
program connected to the RS232 Terminal Port on the switch. This type
of upload must be performed from a local management session.

The DESTFILE parameter specifies a name for the file when stored on the
TFTP server. This parameter is only used with a TFTP upload.

The SERVER parameter specifies the IP address of the network node
containing the TFTP server software. The uploaded file will be stored on
this node. This parameter is only required for a TFTP upload.

The FILE parameter specifies the name of the file that you want to
upload from the switch. To view the files stored in the file system of a
switch, see SHOW FILE on page 201.

Before uploading a file, note the following:

❑ When naming an uploaded file, you should give it the three-letter

extension that corresponds to its file type. The extensions are
listed in Table 2.

❑ To upload the AT-S62 management image, specify “ATS62.IMG”

as the value for the FILE parameter. (The AT-S62 management
image is not listed in a switch’s file system.)
