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.
 After receiving a configuration file, a switch automatically marks it as
its active boot configuration file and resets. Some network traffic may
be lost while the switch initializes its operating software. After the reset
is complete, the switch operates with the parameter settings contained
in the uploaded configuration file.
 If the file system of a switch receiving a configuration file already
contains a file with the same name, the existing file is overwritten.
 Uploading the same configuration file onto more than one switch can
cause an IP address conflict among the devices if the file contains
commands for creating routing interfaces. To resolve the issue, after
uploading the file you must modify the interfaces on the switches by
changing the IP addresses.
 A configuration file should only be uploaded onto a switch of the same
model as the unit where the file was created (for example, AT-9408LC/
SP to AT-9408LC/SP). Allied Telesis does not recommend uploading
a configuration file onto a switch of a different model (for example,
AT-9408LC/SP to AT-9424T/SP). Undesirable switch behavior may
result.
 This command does not support uploading files to or from a compact
flash memory card.
Examples
The following command uploads the AT-S63 image file on a master switch
to switch 2 in an enhanced stack. (Switch numbers are displayed with
“SHOW REMOTELIST” on page 114.)
upload method=remoteswitch srcfile=appblock switchlist=2
The active AT-S63 image file on the master switch is indicated with the
APPBLOCK option of the SRCFILE parameter.
Caution
After receiving the AT-S63 image file, the switch resets and
initializes its software. 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.
