Downloading New Management Software from a Local
Management Session
This section contains the procedure for downloading a new version of
the AT-S39 management software onto a switch. You can also use this
procedure to download a new boot loader file onto the switch or a
configuration file.
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. If you want to return a switch to its
default configuration, refer to Activating the AT-S39 Software
Default Values on page 41.
The following 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 the procedure.
To download a new software image onto a switch using Xmodem,
perform the 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 25.
