Section I: Basic Features

Downloading a System File

This section contains the procedures for downloading a system file from
a workstation or TFTP server into the switch’s file system. You can
download any of the following files:

❑ Boot configuration file

❑ Public encryption key

❑ CA certificate

Note

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

This section contains the following two procedures:

”Downloading a System File from a Local Management Session”

on page 197

”Downloading a System File from a Telnet Management Session”

on page 200

Please note the following before you begin either procedure:

Caution

Do not use this procedure to download an AT-S63 image file onto a
switch. Doing so stores the image file in the switch’s file system. The
switch will not be able to use the image file and the file will take up
most of the available space in the file system. To download an
AT-S63 image file onto a switch, see ”Downloading the AT-S63
Image File onto a Switch” on page 186 or ”Downloading an AT-S63
Image File Switch to Switch” on page 192.

❑ You can download a system file from either a local or Telnet

management session. You cannot perform this procedure from a
web browser management session.

❑ You can use either Xmodem or TFTP to download a system file

from a local management session.

❑ You must use TFTP to download a system file from a Telnet

management session.

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

TFTP server software.
