Downloading an AT-S62 Image File Switch to Switch

The previous section contained the procedure for downloading an
AT-S62 software image onto a switch from a local or Telnet management
session. The procedure in this section explains how to download an
AT-S62 software image from one AT-8524M switch to another AT-8524M
switch.

This procedure is useful in networks that contain a large number of
AT-8524M switches. Once you have updated the software on the master
switch of an enhanced stack, you can instruct the master switch to
automatically upgrade the other AT-8524M switches in the enhanced
stack.

Note

This procedure can be performed from a local or Telnet
management session.

To download a management software image from a master switch to
other 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 53.

2. From the Enhanced Stacking menu, type 2 to select Stacking Services.

Note

The “2 - Stacking Services” selection is available only on master
switches.

The Stacking Services menu is shown in Figure 6 on page 54.

3. Type 1 to select Get/Refresh List of Switches. The master switch polls

the network for all enhanced stacking switches in the subnet and
displays the switches in the Stacking Services menu.

4. Type 4 to select Download Image/Bootloader.

The following prompt is displayed:

Enter the list of switches ->

5. Enter the number (Num column in menu) of the AT-8524M switch

whose software you want to update. You can specify more than one
switch at a time.
