Description

An XMODEM upload uses the Xmodem utility to upload a file from the switch to a terminal or computer with a terminal emulator program connected to the serial terminal port on the switch. You can use the command to upload a switch’s active boot configuration file or any other file from the file system, such as an SSL certificate enrollment request or a public encryption key. The command also allows you to upload the switch’s active AT-S62 software image from the application block to a your terminal or workstation, though it is unlikely you would ever have need for that function.

When performing an Xmodem upload, note the following:

❑An Xmodem upload must be performed from a local management session.

❑Xmodem can only upload a file from the switch where you started the local management session. Xmodem cannot upload a file from a switch accessed through enhanced stacking.

The equivalent SRCFILE and FILE parameters specify the name of the file that you want to upload from the switch. You have three options:

❑SWITCHCFG - Uploads the switch’s active boot configuration file.
