module

Specifies the switches in the AT-9400 Stack to receive
the new AT-S63 Management Software. The range is 1 to
8. You can specify more than one switch (e.g., 1,2). To
update all the switches, use ALL.

General Description

These commands are used to download files and new versions of the
AT-S63 Management Software to stand-alone switches and stacks, using
TFTP.

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 270

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 download files only 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.

To store a file in a flash memory card, precede the destination filename
with “cflash:”.

This command can also be used to download new AT-S63 Management
Software to the file system in a switch, though it is unlikely you will use this
function. New management software has to be stored in the application
block of flash memory, not the file system, to act as the switch’s new
management software. If you do download new management software into
the file system and later want to copy it to the application block, use
“LOAD METHOD=LOCAL” on page 254.
