Examples

The following command uploads the active AT-S63 image file on a master
switch to switch 2 in an enhanced stack. (Switch numbers are displayed
with “SHOW REMOTELIST” on page 86.)

upload method=remoteswitch srcfile=appblock switchlist=2

The active AT-S63 image file on the master switch is indicated with the
APPBLOCK option of the SRCFILE parameter.

Caution

After a switch receives the AT-S63 image file, it resets itself and
initializes the software. The entire process can take a minute or so to
complete. Do not interrupt the process by resetting or power cycling
the switch. Some network traffic may be lost during the process.

You can upload the AT-S63 image file from the master switch to more than
one switch at a time. The following command uploads the active image file
to switches 4, 8, and 15:

upload method=remoteswitch srcfile=appblock
switchlist=4,8,15

The following command uploads the switch active boot configuration file
from the master switch to switches 11 and 12:

upload method=remoteswitch srcfile=switchcfg
switchlist=11,12

Since the current configuration file was designated with the SWITCHCFG
option rather than its filename, the following information in the file is not
included in the upload: IP address, subnet mask, gateway address, switch
name, contact, location, and the master mode setting. However, the switch
receiving the configuration file does not retain its current settings to these
parameters. Rather, they are returned to their default values.

Caution

After a switch receives the configuration file, it resets itself and
initializes the software. The entire process can take a minute or so to
complete. Do not interrupt the process by resetting or power cycling
the switch. Some network traffic may be lost during the process.

The following command uploads the configuration file “sales_switches.cfg”
from a master switch to switch 4:

upload method=remoteswitch srcfile=sales_switches.cfg
switchlist=4
