Transferring Files from a Local Management Interface
This section contains the procedure for downloading or uploading the
following files onto a switch from a local management interface.
❑ New AT-S25 image file
❑ Configuration file
You can transfer a file using Xmodem or TFTP. In order to use TFTP, there
must be a node on your network with the TFTP server software and the
file to download must be stored on the same node.
Caution
The switch will stop forwarding Ethernet traffic during the
download of the AT-S25 software image.
Note
Installing a new AT-S25 software image does not change the current
configuration of a switch (e.g., IP address, subnet mask, and virtual
LANs). To return a switch to its default configuration values, refer to
Returning the AT-S25 Software to the Factory Default Values on
page 56.
This procedure assumes that you have already obtained the new
software from Allied Telesyn and stored it on the management
workstation from which you will be performing the procedure, or on the
TFTP server.
To download a new software image or configuration file onto a switch,
perform the following procedure:
1. Establish a local management interface on the switch where you
intend to download the new management software or configuration
file.
For instructions, refer to Starting a Local or Telnet Management
Session on page 34.
2. From the Main Menu, type 4 to select Administration Menu.
3. From the Administration Menu, type D to select Downloads & Uploads
Menu.
The Downloads & Uploads Menu in Figure 69 is displayed.
