file name extensions are shown in Table 1.
The equivalent SRCFILE and FILE parameters specify the name of the file
that you want to download. This parameter is required only for TFTP and
local downloads.
You can also specify the location of the file, either in flash memory (flash:)
or on a compact flash card (cflash:). The default is flash memory.
Before downloading files, note the following:
ˆ When you download a new version of the AT-S63 management
software image onto a switch, be sure to specify the DESTFILE
filename as “ATS63.IMG”. Do not give the image file any other name.
ˆ When you download a new configuration file onto a switch, the file is
stored in the switch’s file system, but it is not automatically assigned as
the active boot file. To assign a newly downloaded configuration file as
the active file, see “SET CONFIG” on page 173.
ˆ In networks consisting of several AT-9400 Series switches, you can
simplify an upgrade procedure by first upgrading a master switch to
the latest software version via a local or remote management session
and then downloading the new software switch-to-switch from the
master switch to the slave switches.
ˆ You cannot download the AT-S63 software image onto any other type
of switch than an AT-9400 Series switch.
ˆ The current configuration of a switch is retained when a new AT-S63
software image is installed. To return a switch to its default
configuration settings, refer to “RESTART SWITCH” on page 45.
ˆ The AT-S63 image file contains the bootloader for the switch. You
cannot load the image file and bootloader separately.
For an Xmodem download, note the following:
