Uploading Files From the Router

The LOADER can upload files from the router to a network host, using TFTP or
ZMODEM. Upload files using one of the commands:

UPLOAD [METHOD=TFTP] [FILE=filename]

[SERVER={hostname|ipadd}]

UPLOAD [METHOD=ZMODEM] [FILE=filename] [ASYN=port]

The UPLOAD command uses defaults set with the SET LOADER command,
for parameters not specified with the upload command.

You can install Allied Telesyn’s Trivial File Transfer Protocol Server (AT-TFTPD
on any PC or server running Windows. This will provide a simple way to make
files available to all Allied Telesyn routers and layer 3 switches in your
network. The TFTP Server, and a readme file describing how to install and use
it, are provided on the Documentation and Tools CD-ROM.

Example: Upload a Configuration File Using TFTP

This example uploads a configuration file from the router to a TFTP server on
the network. Before following this procedure, make sure:

■

The TFTP server is operating on a host with an IP address (for example
192.168.1.3) on the network.

■

The router has a valid IP address (for example 192.168.1.2) on the interface
connecting it to the TFTP server, and that it can communicate with the
server.

■

The configuration file is present in the router’s FLASH.

To upload a log file:

1.

Configure the LOADER.

Set the LOADER module with defaults to make the process of
downloading and uploading files in future simpler.

SET LOADER METHOD=TFTP SERVER=192.168.1.3
