Description

An XMODEM upload uses the Xmodem utility to upload a file from the
switch’s file system to a terminal or computer with a terminal emulator
program connected to the serial terminal port on the switch. You can use
the command to upload a switch’s active boot configuration file or any
other file from the file system, such as an SSL certificate enrollment
request or a public encryption key. You can also use this command to
upload a file on a compact flash memory card to your workstation. The
command also allows you to upload the switch’s active AT-S63 software
image from the application block to a your terminal or workstation, though
it is unlikely you would ever have need for that function.

When performing an Xmodem upload, note the following:

ˆ

An Xmodem upload must be performed from a local management
session.

ˆ

Xmodem can only upload a file from the switch where you started the
local management session.

The equivalent SRCFILE and FILE parameters specify the name of the file
to upload from the switch. You have three options:

ˆ

SWITCHCFG - Uploads the switch’s active boot configuration file.
