LOAD METHOD=XMODEM
Syntax
load method=xmodem destfile=[cflash:] filename |appblock
Parameters
method Specifies an Xmodem download.
destfile Specifies the destination filename for the file. This is the
name given to the file when it is stored in the switch’s file
system. The name can be from 1 to 15 alphanumeric
characters, not including the three-letter extension. If the
name includes spaces, enclose it in double quotes. The
name must be unique from any files already stored in the
file system. The command will not overwrite a preexisting
file with the same name.
To download a file onto a flash memory card in a switch
rather than the file system, precede the name with
“cflash:”.
The APPBLOCK option specifies the application block of
the switch’s flash memory. This is the area of memory
reserved for the switch’s active AT-S63 image file. The
APPBLOCK option is used to download a new AT-S63
image file into the application block so that it functions as
the new active image file on the switch.
Description
An XMODEM download uses the XMODEM utility to download files onto a
switch from a terminal or computer with a terminal emulator program
connected to the switch’s RS232 Terminal Port. You might use the
command to update a switch’s AT-S63 image file, or to download a
different boot configuration file or a SSL public key certificate.
The DESTFILE parameter specifies a name for the file. This is the name
the file will be stored as in the file system on the switch. Enclose the name
in double quotes if it contains a space. When specifying the new name of a
downloaded file, you must be sure to give it the correct three-letter
extension, depending on the file type. The extensions are shown in
Table 4 on page 219.
To download the file onto a flash memory card in the switch, precede the
name with “cflash:”.
