Uploading Files From the Router

The LOADER can upload files from the router to a network host, using TFTP or
ZMODEM. Upload files using one of the commands:

UPLOAD [METHOD=TFTP] [FILE=filename]

[SERVER={hostname|ipadd}]

UPLOAD [METHOD=ZMODEM] [FILE=filename] [ASYN=port]

The UPLOAD command uses defaults set with the SET LOADER command,
for parameters not specified with the upload command.

You can install Allied Telesyn’s Trivial File Transfer Protocol Server (AT-TFTPD
on any PC or server running Windows. This will provide a simple way to make
files available to all Allied Telesyn routers and layer 3 switches in your
network. The TFTP Server, and a readme file describing how to install and use
it, are provided on the AR400 Series Router Documentation and Tools CD-ROM.

Example: Upload a Configuration File Using TFTP

This example uploads a configuration file from the router to a TFTP server on
the network. Before following this procedure, make sure:

The TFTP server is operating on a host with an IP address (for example
192.168.1.3) on the network.

The router has a valid IP address (for example 192.168.1.2) on the interface
connecting it to the TFTP server, and that it can communicate with the
server.

The configuration file is present in the router’s FLASH.

To upload a log file:

1.

Configure the LOADER.

Set the LOADER module with defaults to make the process of
downloading and uploading files in future simpler.

SET LOADER METHOD=TFTP SERVER=192.168.1.3
