Downloading a File
This procedure explains how to download a file from a TFTP server on
your network to the switch using the web browser interface. You can
download any of the following files:
ˆ AT-S63 image file
ˆ Boot configuration file
ˆ CA certificate
Note
The CA certificate is supported only on the version of AT-S63
management software that features SSL, PKI, and SSH security.
Guidelines
Here are general guidelines to follow when performing this procedure:
ˆ You must use TFTP to download a file from a web browser
management session.
ˆ There must be a node on your network with the TFTP server software.
ˆ The file to download must be stored on the TFTP server node.
ˆ You should start the TFTP server before you begin the download
procedure.
ˆ The switch receiving the downloaded file must have an IP address and
subnet mask, such as a master switch of an enhanced stack. If the
switch does not have an IP address, such a slave switch, you can
download the file from a local management session using Xmodem or,
alternatively, switch to switch. For instructions, refer to the AT-S63
Management Software Menus Interface User’s Guide.
ˆ You cannot download a private encryption key onto a switch, but you
can a public key. However, since the switch can only use those
encryption keys that it has generated itself, Allied Telesyn
recommends against downloading any keys onto the switch.
ˆ You cannot download a file to a compact flash memory card in a switch
using the web browser interface.
If you are downloading the AT-S63 image file, note these additional
guidelines:
ˆ All models of the AT-9400 Series switch use the same AT-S63 image
file.
ˆ The AT-S63 image file contains the bootloader for the switch. You
cannot load the image file and bootloader separately.
