Downloading the AT-S60 Image Switch to Switch

This procedure explains how to download an AT-S60 software image
from a master AT-8400 switch to another switch using enhanced
stacking. You can update only AT-8400 Series switches. In other words,
you cannot download AT-S60 management software onto an AT-8000
Series switch.

Downloading an image file from one AT-8400 to another is useful in
networks that contain a large number of AT-8400 chassis. 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-8400 chassis in the same subnet.

Note

The following procedure can be performed from either a local or
Telnet management session.

To download a management software image from a master AT-8400
Series switches to other AT-8400 Series switches in the same subnet,
perform the following procedure:

1. From the Main Menu, type 8 to select Enhanced Stacking.

The Enhanced Stacking menu is shown in Figure 22 on page 84.

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

Note

The 2 - Stacking Services selection is available only from a
management session on a master switch.

The Stacking Services Menu is shown in Figure 23 on page 85.

3. From the Stacking Services menu, type 1 to select Get/Refresh List of

Switches.

4. From the Stacking Services menu, type 4 to select Image Download

Image/Bootloader.

A prompt similar to the following is displayed:

Enter the remote switch number -> [1 to 12]

5. Enter the number (Num column in menu) of the AT-8400 Series

switches whose software you want to update. You can specify more
than one switch at a time. You can specify the switches individually
(e.g., 2,4,5), as a range (e.g., 3-6), or both (e.g., 1-4,7,10). You can
download to up to 24 switches at a time.
