application block so that its used by the switch as its active image file,
refer to “UPLOAD METHOD=LOCAL” on page 215.

Note

Downloading an AT-S63 image file into a switch’s file system rather
than into the application block should be perform with care. The file
will take up 2 megabytes of space in the file system.

ˆ

If you download a file onto a flash memory card in the switch and later
want to copy the file from the card to a switch’s file system, refer to
“COPY” on page 188.

Examples

The following command downloads a new version of the AT-S63 software
image directly to the switch’s application block, making it the active image
file on the switch. The IP address of the TFTP server is 149.11.11.11 and
the name of the image file on the server is “ats63v2.img”:

load method=tftp destfile=appblock server=149.11.11.11
srcfile=ats63v2.img

Caution

After downloading an AT-S63 image file and writing it to the
application block portion of flash memory, the switch resets and
initializes its management 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 downloads a new configuration file into the
switch’s file system using TFTP. The configuration file is stored as “sw
111.cfg” on the TFTP server and is given the name “sw56a.cfg” when
stored in the switch’s file system. The TFTP server has the IP address
149.55.55.55:

load method=tftp destfile=sw56a.cfg server=149.55.55.55
srcfile=”sw 111.cfg”

The following command downloads an SSL certificate to the switch’s file
system. The name of the file on the TFTP server is “sw12_ssl.cer”. The
same name is used for the file in the switch’s file system:

load method=tftp destfile=sw12_ssl.cer server=149.44.44.44
srcfile=sw12_ssl.cer

The following command downloads a new version of the AT-S63 image file
from a TFTP server to the switch’s file system, changing the name from
