6. In the TFTP Local Filename field, enter a name for the file. This is the
name the switch uses to store the file in its file system. To download a
new AT-S63 image file into the switch’s application block, enter
“APPBLOCK” as the filename.
7. For the TFTP File Type parameter, select one of the following:
Image
Select this option to download a new AT-S63 image file directly into the
application block portion of flash memory of the switch so that the
device immediately uses it as its active image file.
Config
Select this option to download a configuration file that the switch is to
immediately employ as its new active boot configuration file.
File
Select this option to download a file to the file system, such as a CA
certificate or a boot configuration file that is not to be designated as the
active boot configuration file.
8. Click Apply.
The management software notifies you after the download is complete.
Caution
When you download a new AT-S63 image file to the switch’s
application block, the file is written to flash memory. This can require
one to two minutes to complete. Do not reset or power off the unit.
After the file has been written to flash, the switch automatically
resets, ending your web browser management session. Some
network traffic may be lost during the reset process. To continue
managing the switch, you must reestablish the management session
after the reset process is completed.
Note
When you download a configuration file using the Config selection,
the file is automatically designated as the switch’s new active
configuration file. When the download is complete, the switch resets,
ending your web browser management session. Some network
traffic may be lost during the reset process. After the reset, the
switch operates with the parameter settings in the downloaded
configuration file. To continue managing the switch, you must
reestablish the management session.
