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:

❑ AT-S63 image file

❑ Boot configuration file

❑ Public key

❑ CA certificate

Note

The public key and CA certificate are supported only on the version
of AT-S63 management software that features SSL, PKI, and SSH
security.

Note the following before you begin this procedure:

❑ You must use TFTP to download a file from a web browser

management session.

❑ To use TFTP, there must be a node on your network that contains

the TFTP server software.

❑ The file that you are downloading must be stored on the TFTP

server node.

❑ You should start the TFTP server before you begin the download

procedure:

❑ The AT-S63 image file contains the bootloader for the switch. You

cannot load the image file and bootloader separately.

❑ Installing a new AT-S63 software image does not change the

current configuration of a switch (for instance, IP address, subnet
mask, and virtual LANs). If you want to return a switch to its default
configuration values, refer to ”Returning the AT-S63 Management
Software to the Factory Default Values” on page 50.

Caution

The switch stops forwarding Ethernet traffic after it has downloaded
an AT-S63 image file and begun to initialize the software. Some
network traffic may be lost.

To download a file, perform the following procedure:
