Chapter 12: File Download and Upload Commands
158
For a TFTP download, note the following:
❑ There must be a node on your network that contains the TFTP
server software and the file to be downloaded must be stored on
that server.
❑ Start the TFTP server software before you perform the download
command.
❑ The switch on which you are downloading the file must have an IP
address and subnet mask, such as a master switch of an enhanced
stack. You cannot use TFTP on a slave switch because that type of
switch typically does not have an IP address. Perform the
download from a local management session of the switch using
Xmodem, or, switch to switch using the REMOTESWITCH option.
Caution
After you have downloaded an AT-S63 image file, the switch writes
the image to flash memory, resets itself, and re initializes the
software, a process that 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 process.
Xmodem Download Examples
The following command uses Xmodem to download a new AT-S63
software image onto the switch:
load method=xmodem destfile=ats62.img
When downloading the management software image, the destination
filename must be ATS63.IMG.
All Xmodem transfers must be performed from a local management
session. Xmodem is not supported from a Telnet management session.
After you have entered the command, the management software
displays a confirmation prompt followed by another prompt instructing
you to begin the file transfer. To start the transfer, use your terminal
emulation program to specify the location of the AT-S63 software image
file stored on your workstation. The transfer protocol must be Xmodem
or 1K Xmodem.
The following command uses Xmodem to download an AT-S63
configuration file to the switch’s file system and gives it the name
sw12_boot.cfg:
load method=xmodem destfile=sw12_boot.cfg
