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.
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 the 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.
Note
The MODULE parameter only works on switches with Version 4.0.0
or later of the AT-S63 Management Software. To update a stack that
has an earlier version of the management software, remove the
switches from the stack by disconnecting the stacking cables and
update them as stand-alone units. For more information, refer to the
software release notes.
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.
Guidelines
Before downloading a file onto a switch using TFTP, note the following:
ˆ A TFTP download is supported from a local, Telnet or SSH
management session.
