AT-S63 Management Software Command Line Interface User’s Guide
Section II: Advanced Operations 213
ˆ If you are upgrading an AT-9400 Series switch from AT-S63 version
1.3.0 or earlier and the switch has an IP address, the upgrade process
automatically creates a routing interface on the switch to preserve the
device’s IP configuration. If the switch has a static address, the
interface is assigned the same address. If the unit obtained its IP
configuration from a DHCP or BOOTP server, the interface is created
with its DHCP or BOOTP client activated. The interface is given the
interface number 0 and assigned to the preexisting management
VLAN. Furthermore, the interface is designated as the local interface
on the switch.
For example, if the switch has the static IP address 149.44.44.44 and
the management VLAN has a VID of 12, the upgrade process
automatically creates a routing interface with the same IP address and
names it VLAN12-0. It assigns the interface to the VLAN with the VID
of 12 and designates it as the switch’s local interface.
Exa mpl e s
The following command uses the APPBLOCK option of the DESTFILE
parameter to download a new version of the AT-S63 software image
directly to the application block, making it the active image file on the
switch:
load method=xmodem destfile=appblock
Caution
After downloading an AT-S63 image file and writing it to the
application block portion of flash memory, the switch 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 reset
process.
The following command downloads a new configuration file onto the
switch. The configuration file is given the name “switch12.cfg” in the
switch’s file system:
load method=xmodem destfile=switch12.cfg
The source file is not specified when downloading a file using Xmodem.
Rather, after you enter the command, the management software displays
a confirmation prompt followed by another prompt instructing you to begin
the file transfer. To start the transfer, you use your terminal emulation
program to specify the file on your workstation that you want to download.
The following command uses Xmodem to download an SSL certificate into
the switch’s file system and assigns it the name sw12 ssl.cer:
load method=xmodem destfile=”sw12 ssl.cer”
