Chapter 16: File Download and Upload Commands
286 Section II: Advanced Operations
Note
In earlier versions of the AT-S63 Management Software this
command also performed switch to switch file transfers for copying
files from a master switch to other switches in an enhanced stack.
That function is now part of “UPLOAD
METHOD=REMOTESWITCH” on page 292
Syntax 1 Description
This command is used to download configuration files and SSL public key
certificates to the file system on the switch. This command can be used on
both stand-alone switches and stacks. If you are using this command on a
stack, you can only download files to the file system of the master switch.
When specifying the new name of a downloaded file, be sure to give it the
correct three-letter extension that corresponds to its file type. The
extensions are shown in Table 5 on page 279.
To store a file in a flash memory card, precede the destination filename
with “cflash:”.
Syntax 2 Description
This command is used to download new AT-S63 Management Software to
stand-alone switches. The destination is APPBLOCK, the area in flash
memory reserved for this file and called the application block.
If you specify a filename instead of APPBLOCK, the file is stored in the
switch’s file system. Copying it from the file system to the application block
is accomplished with “LOAD METHOD=LOCAL” on page 276.
Caution
This command will disrupt network operations. The switch will reset
after writing the new AT-S63 Management Software to the
application block portion of flash memory. The entire process can
take a minute or so to complete. Do not interrupt the process by
resetting or power cycling the switch. Some network traffic may be
lost during the process.
Syntax 3 Description
This command is used to download new AT-S63 Management Software to
AT-9400 Stacks. As in Syntax 2, the destination should be APPBLOCK.
You use MODULE parameter to specify the switches in the stack to be
updated. In most cases you should enter ALL. But you can update
individual switches by entering their stack ID numbers, instead.
