interface is assigned the same address. If the unit obtained its IP
configuration from a DHCP or BOOTP server, the interface is created
with the DHCP or BOOTP client activated. The interface is given the
interface number 0 and assigned to the preexisting management
VLAN. Furthermore, the interface is designated as the local interface
on the switch.
For example, if the switch has the static IP address 149.44.44.44 and
the management VLAN has a VID of 12, the upgrade process
automatically creates a routing interface with the same IP address and
names it VLAN12-0. It assigns the interface to the VLAN with the VID
of 12 and designates it as the switch’s local interface.
ˆ The AT-S63 image file also contains the bootloader for the switch. You
cannot load the image file and bootloader separately.
The following guidelines apply to an Xmodem download:
ˆ Xmodem can only download the image file onto the switch where you
started the local management session. You cannot use Xmodem to
download a new image file to a switch accessed through enhanced
stacking.
ˆ The new AT-S63 image file must be stored on the computer or terminal
connected to the RS232 terminal port on the switch.
The following guidelines apply to a TFTP download:
ˆ The switch must have a routing interface on the local subnet from
where it reaches the TFTP server. The switch uses the IP address of
the interface as its source address when sending packets to the TFTP
server. This rule applies to both master and slave switches of an
enhanced stack. If the switch does not have any interfaces, you can
perform the download from a local management session of the switch
using Xmodem or, alternatively, switch to switch, as explained in
“Uploading the AT-S63 Image File Switch to Switch” on page 176.
ˆ Your network must have a node with TFTP server software.
ˆ You must store the new AT-S63 image file on the server.
ˆ You should start the TFTP server software before you begin the
download procedure.
The following procedures assume that you have already obtained the new
software from Allied Telesis and have stored it on your management
station or on the TFTP server.
