The METHOD parameter states the type of download. There are three
possible types of downloads. A TFTP download uses the TFTP client
software on the switch to download a file from a TFTP server on your
network. The file that you are downloading must be stored on the TFTP
server. You can perform this type of download from either a local or
Telnet management session of a slave or master switch.
The XMODEM download method uses the Xmodem utility to download
a file onto the switch from a terminal or computer with a terminal
emulator program connected to the serial terminal port on the switch.
You can perform this type of download only from a local management
session and the file to download must be stored on the computer
connected to the switch’s serial terminal port. You can perform this type
of download on either a slave or master switch.
The REMOTESWITCH parameter downloads a file from the master switch
to another switch in the enhanced stack. You can perform this type of
download from a local or remote management session.
The DESTFILE parameter specifies a name for the file. This is the name
the file will be stored as on the switch. If you are downloading an AT-S63
software image, the name must be “ATS63.IMG”. Enclose the name in
double quotes if it contains a space.
When you specify the new name of a downloaded file, you must be sure
to give it the correct three-letter extension, depending on the file type.
The extensions are shown in Table 1.
The equivalent FILE and SCRFILE parameters specify the name of the file
that you want to download. This parameter is required only for TFTP
downloads.
