TFTP Guidelines
In the legacy code of AT-S25 Version 1.5.6.2 or an earlier version and
Version 1.5.6.3, the TFTP server software runs on the switch, so the user
has to use the Put command of the TFTP client software on a PC to
download an image file to the switch. However, AT-S25 Version 2.0.0 is
designed to use the TFTP client software on the switch. As a result, the
user must run TFTP server on the PC to download the image file to the
switch when Version 2.0.0 is the current software. For further
information on software downloads, refer to Chapter 14: File
Downloads and Uploads on page 180.
TFTP software is available from various sources and is included in SNMP,
which can be purchased through Allied Telesyn. A command line version
is included in most UNIX variants and in Windows NT. Please consult the
documentation or the manufacturer of the software for instructions on
how to use the software.
Note
This method is used to upgrade the software to the switch modules
that are part of a stacked configuration or to the entire stack at once.
This method may be performed from either a local or a remote host
PC.
Regardless of the manufacturer, all TFTP client software will need the
following information:
Host - This is the IP address of the stack to which you are
downloading the software.
Binary or ANSI - You will need to specify binary mode for the file
transfer.
Put - The Put command is used to download a new software
image file to the switch.
Source file - When using the Put command to download software
to the stack, enter the path and filename of the file to be
downloaded onto the switch. The filename must be
“ATS25_V1563.IMG” or “ATS25_V200.IMG” depending on the new
software image that is being downloaded.
Destination file - When using the Put command to download the
software from a stack, enter the path and filename of the software
image that is to be downloaded. The filename must be
“ats25.img”.
Example:
tftp -i 149.35.1.1 put c:\ats25_v1563.img ats25.img
tftp -i 149.35.1.1 put c:\ats25_v200.img ats25.img
