LOAD METHOD=LOCAL

Syntax

load method=local destfile=appblock srcfile|file=”

filename

Parameters

method

Specifies a local download.

destfile

Specifies the application block (APPBLOCK) of the
switch’s flash memory. This area of memory is reserved
for the switch’s active AT-S62 image file.

srcfile or file

Specifies the name of the AT-S62 image file in the file
system to download to the application block. If the
filename contains a space, enclose it in double quotes.
These parameters are equivalent.

Description

This command downloads an AT-S62 image file from the switch’s file
system to the application block, the section of flash memory reserved for
the active AT-S62 running image. This function makes the AT-S62 file the
new active image file on the switch. This command assumes that at some
earlier point you downloaded a new version of the AT-S62 image file into
the file system of a switch and now want to make that image file the
switch’s active image file.

When performing a local download, note the following:

ˆ

The AT-S62 image file to be the new running image for the switch
must already be stored in the switch’s file system.

ˆ

The command must include the DESTFILE parameter with the
APPBLOCK option.

ˆ

Use the SRCFILE or FILE parameter to specify the name of the
AT-S62 image file as it is stored in the switch’s file system.

ˆ

The current configuration of a switch is retained when a new AT-S62
software image is copied to the application block.

ˆ

After downloading an image file from the file system to the application
block, you can delete the image file from the file system to free up
space for other files.
