Chapter 20: Download and Upload Commands

Here are guidelines that apply to a TFTP download:
❑ There must be a node on your network that contains the TFTP
server software. The AT-S39 image file or configuration file to be
downloaded must be stored on the server.
❑ You should start the TFTP server before you begin the download
procedure.
❑ The switch on which you are downloading the file must have an IP
address and subnet mask, such as a master switch of an enhanced
stack. You cannot use TFTP on a slave switch, since that type of
switch typically does not have an IP address. Instead, you would
need to perform the download from a local management session
of the switch using Xmodem or, alternatively switch to switch
using the REMOTESWITCH parameter.
Here is a guideline that applies to a switch-to-switch download:
❑ You must always use the SHOW REMOTELIST command first to
determine the switch numbers. (This also allows the management
software to determine the number and type of switches in the
enhanced stack.)
Caution
If you are downloading an AT-S39 image file, the switch must
initialize the software once it has received the file. The initialization
process that can take several minutes to complete. Do not interrupt
the initialization process by resetting or power cycling the switch.
Once the initialization process is complete, the switch resets.
Xmodem Examples
The following command downloads a new AT-S39 software image from
the management workstation to the switch:
load method=xmodem type=image
After you have entered the command, the management software will
display a confirmation prompt followed by another prompt instructing
you to begin the file transfer. To begin the transfer, use your terminal
emulation program to specify the location of the AT-S39 software image
file stored on your workstation that you want to download onto the
switch.
The following command downloads a new AT-S39 configuration from
the management workstation to the switch:
