LOAD METHOD=TFTP
Syntax
load method=tftp destfile=[cflash:] filename |appblock
server= ipaddress srcfile|file= filename
Parameters
method Specifies a TFTP download.
destfile Specifies the destination filename for the file. This is the
name given to the file when it is stored in the switch’s file
system. The name can be from 1 to 15 alphanumeric
characters, not including the three-letter extension. If the
name includes spaces, enclose it in double quotes. The
name must be unique from any files already stored in the
file system. The command will not overwrite a preexisting
file with the same name.
To download a file onto a flash memory card in a switch
rather than the file system, precede the name with
“cflash:”.
The APPBLOCK option specifies the application block of
the switch’s flash memory. This is the area of memory
reserved for the switch’s active AT-S63 image file. The
APPBLOCK option is used to download a new AT-S63
image file from a TFTP server to the application block of
the switch so that it functions as the new active image file
on the switch.
server Specifies the IP address of the TFTP server on the
network.
srcfile or file Specifies the filename of the file on the TFTP server to
download onto the switch. If the filename contains a
space, enclose the name in double quotes. These
parameters are equivalent.
Description
A TFTP download uses the TFTP client software on the switch to
download files onto the unit from a TFTP server on your network. For
example, you might use the command to update a switch’s AT-S63 image
file, or to download a different boot configuration file or a SSL public key
certificate. You can also use this command to download a file from a TFTP
server to a flash memory card in a switch.
