You can also use this command to distribute a configuration file on the
master switch to other switches when switches are to share a similar
configuration.
The equivalent SRCFILE and FILE parameters specify the name of the file
to be uploaded from the switch. You have three options:
ˆ filename - Uploads a configuration file from the master switch’s file
system. The filename must include the “.cfg” suffix.
ˆ APPBLOCK - Uploads the master switch’s active AT-S63 image file.
ˆ SWITCHCFG - Uploads the master switch’s active boot configuration
file. You can use this option in place of the filename option when
uploading the active boot configuration file on the master switch.
The SWITCHLIST parameter specifies the switches in the enhanced stack
to receive the uploaded file. You display the switch numbers using “SHOW
REMOTELIST” on page 104.
The optional VERBOSE parameter displays information about the
progress of the upload process.
When performing a switch to switch upload, note the following:
ˆ The command can be performed from a local, Telnet, or SSH
management session of a master switch.
ˆ You must perform the SHOW REMOTELIST command prior to this
command to display the switch numbers and allow the management
software to determine the number of switches in the enhanced stack.
For instructions, refer to “SHOW REMOTELIST” on page 104.
ˆ This command can upload the master switch’s active AT-S63 image
file or a configuration file to another switch. This command cannot
upload any other type of file, such as an encryption key or SSL
certificate.
ˆ An uploaded configuration file retains its original name.
ˆ The manager and operator passwords are included in the upload of a
configuration file.
ˆ When uploading the master switch’s active AT-S63 image file, the file
is copied directly to the application block on the other switch. This
automatically designates it as the switch’s active image file. The switch
receiving the image file resets and initializes the new image file. Some
network traffic may be lost during the reset process.
ˆ 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
