Downloading Files from a Local Management Session
This section contains the procedure for downloading a new AT-S39
software image file or configuration file onto a switch from a local
management session.
Note
To download a file through enhanced stacking or a Telnet
management session, go to Downloading Files from a Remote
Management Session on page 229.
Here are guidelines that apply to download files from a local
management session:
❑ All switch models in the AT-8000 Series use the same
management software image.
❑ You can use Xmodem or TFTP.
❑ If you are downloading a new AT-S39 software image, the switch’s
current configuration settings (for instance, IP address, port
security, and virtual LANs) are not changed.
❑ If you are downloading a configuration file, the switch’s current
configuration settings are overwritten by the configuration
settings contained in the file. This includes the IP address, subnet
mask, enhanced stacking status, and BOOTP/DHCP status.
❑ A configuration file should only be downloaded onto a switch of
the same model from which the configuration file originated (for
example, AT-8024M to AT-8024M). It is not recommended that
you download a configuration file onto a switch of a different
model (for example, AT-8012M to AT-8024GB). Undesired switch
behavior may result.
❑ A switch running AT-S39 Version 1.4 or earlier must first be
ungraded to Version 1.4.1 or 1.4.2 before you can install a new
AT-S39 image.
Caution
Downloading a new AT-S39 image file or configuration file will
cause a switch reset. Some network traffic may be lost.
Here are guidelines that apply to an Xmodem download:
❑ Xmodem can only download a file onto the switch on which you
started the local management session. Xmodem cannot
download files through enhanced stacking.
