Chapter 10: File Downloads and Uploads

Uploading a System File
This section contains the following two procedures:
ˆ “Uploading a System File from a Local Management Session” on
page 191
ˆ “Uploading a System File from a Remote Management Session” on
page 194
These procedures explain how to upload files from a switch’s file system
to your management workstation or a TFTP server. One procedure
explains how to perform the upload from a local management using either
Xmodem or TFTP. The other explains how to upload a file from a remote
management session, which only supports TFTP.
Here are the system files you are most likely to upload from a switch:
ˆ Boot configuration file
ˆ Certificate enrollment request
ˆ Public encryption key
You might, for instance, upload a switch’s configuration file so that you can
modify it with a text editor at your management workstation. Or, you might
have created a CA certificate enrollment request on the switch and need
to upload it prior to submitting it to a CA.
Note
The certificate enrollment request and the public encryption key are
supported only on the version of AT-S63 management software that
features SSL and PKI security.
Guidelines
This section contains guidelines for uploading a file from the switch’s file
system.
These guidelines apply to both Xmodem and TFTP uploads.
ˆ You can use either Xmodem or TFTP when uploading files from a local
management session.
ˆ You must use TFTP when uploading files from a remote management
session.
ˆ If the switch supports a flash memory card, you can use these
procedures to upload a file from the card rather than the switch’s file
system. To upload a file from a flash memory card, you must first
change to the directory where the file is stored on the card. For
instructions, refer to “Changing the Current Flash Card Directory” on
page 166.
