Chapter 12: File Download and Upload Commands

ˆ Start the TFTP server software before you perform the command.
ˆ The switch must have a routing interface on the local subnet from
where it is reaching the TFTP server. The switch uses the interface’s
IP address as its source address during the file transfer with the
server. The server can be located on any interface on the switch, not
just the local interface. For a switch without a routing interface, you
can perform an Xmodem upload from a local management session.
The DESTFILE parameter specifies a name for the file. This is a name for
the file when it is stored on the TFTP server. The uploaded file should be
given the same three-letter extension as the original file. The extensions
are listed in Table 5.
The SERVER parameter specifies the IP address of the network node with
the TFTP server software where the uploaded file will be stored.
The equivalent SRCFILE and FILE parameters specify the name of the file
to be uploaded from the switch. You have three options:
ˆ SWITCHCFG - Uploads the switch’s active boot configuration file to
the TFTP server.
ˆ filename - Uploads a file from the switch’s file system to the TFTP
server. This differs from the SWITCHCFG parameter in that the latter
uploads just the active boot configuration file, while this parameter can
upload any file in the file system. If the file to be uploaded is stored on
a compact flash memory card in the switch, precede the name with
“cflash:”.
ˆ APPBLOCK - Uploads the switch’s active AT-S63 image file to the
TFTP server.
Note
It is unlikely you will ever need to upload the active AT-S63 image
file from a switch to a TFTP server.
