Downloading New Management Software from a Local
Management Session
This section contains the procedure for downloading a new version of
AT-S41 management software onto a switch from a local management
session. The procedure takes approximately 7 to 10 minutes to
complete.
Note
You cannot perform this procedure from a Telnet or Web browser
management session.
Caution
The switch will not forward Ethernet traffic during the software
download and initialization process.
Note
The current configuration of the switch (e.g., IP address, subnet
mask, and virtual LANs) is maintained when you install a new
software image on the switch. To return a switch to its default
configuration, refer to Resetting the Management Software
Default Values on page 44.
This procedure assumes that you have already obtained the new version
of management software and have stored it on the computer from
which you will be performing this procedure.

following procedure:
1. Establish a local management session on the switch where you intend
to download the new management software.
For instructions, refer to Starting a Local Management Session
on page 28.
