Chapter 16: File Download and Upload Commands

288

Section II: Advanced Operations

If you download a file onto a flash memory card in the switch and later
want to copy the file from the card to a switch’s file system, refer to
“COPY” on page 256.

If you are upgrading the AT-9400 Switch from AT-S63 version 1.3.0 or
earlier and the switch has an IP address, the upgrade process
automatically creates a routing interface on the switch to preserve the
device’s IP configuration. If the switch has a static address, the
interface is assigned the same address. If the unit obtained its IP
configuration from a DHCP or BOOTP server, the interface is created
with its DHCP or BOOTP client activated. The interface is given the
interface number 0 and assigned to the preexisting management
VLAN. Furthermore, the interface is designated as the local interface
on the switch.

For example, if the switch has the static IP address 149.44.44.44 and
the management VLAN has a VID of 12, the upgrade process
automatically creates a routing interface with the same IP address and
names it VLAN12-0. It assigns the interface to the VLAN with the VID
of 12 and designates it as the switch’s local interface.

Syntax 1 Examples

This command downloads a new configuration file and gives it the name
“switch2a.cfg” in the switch’s file system:

load method=xmodem destfile=switch2a.cfg

The source file is not specified when downloading a file with Xmodem.
Rather, after you enter the command, the management software displays
a confirmation prompt followed by another prompt that instructs you to
begin the file transfer. To start the transfer, you specify the file with your
terminal emulation program:

This command uses Xmodem to download an SSL certificate into the
switch’s file system and assigns it the name sw12 ssl.cer:

load method=xmodem destfile=”sw12 ssl.cer”

This command downloads a configuration file onto a flash memory card in
the switch. The configuration file is given the name “product_sw.cfg” on
the card:

load method=xmodem destfile=cflash:product_sw.cfg

This command downloads a new version of the AT-S63 image file to the
switch’s file system instead of the application block. It does this by
replacing the APPBLOCK option with a filename, in this case
“ats63v1_2_0.img”. The image file is stored in the switch’s file system with
this name:

load method=xmodem destfile=ats63v1_2_0.img
