LOAD METHOD=LOCAL
Syntax
load method=local destfile=appblock srcfile|file= filename
Parameters
method Specifies a local download.
destfile Specifies the application block (APPBLOCK) of the
switch’s flash memory. This is the area of memory
reserved for the switch’s active AT-S63 image file.
srcfile or file Specifies the filename of the AT-S63 image file in the file
system that you want to download into the application
block. If the filename contains a space, enclose it in
double quotes. These parameters are equivalent.
Description
This command downloads an AT-S63 image file already stored in the
switch’s file system into the application block, which is the section of flash
memory reserved for the active AT-S63 running image. This function
makes the AT-S63 file the new active image file on the switch. This
command assumes that at some earlier point you downloaded a new
version of the AT-S63 image file into the file system of a switch and you
now want to make that image file the switch’s active image file.
When performing a local download, note the following:
ˆ The AT-S63 manage image that you want to be the new running
image for the switch must already be stored in the switch’s file system.
ˆ The command must include the DESTFILE parameter with the
APPBLOCK option.
ˆ Use the SRCFILE or FILE parameter to specify the name of the
AT-S63 image file as it is stored in the switch’s file system.
ˆ The current configuration of a switch is retained when a new AT-S63
software image copied to the application block.
ˆ After you have downloaded an image file from the file system to the
application block, you can delete the image file from the file system to
free up space for other files.
