Setting LOADER Defaults

You are likely to repeat the process of downloading files onto the switch using a similar method each time. You can set defaults for some or all of the LOADER parameters. You can then use or override some or all of these defaults for each particular load.

To set LOADER defaults, enter the command:

SET LOADER [ATTRIBUTE={CERTCRLCACERTDEFAULT}] [BASEOBJECT={dist-nameDEFAULT}] [DELAY={delayDEFAULT}] [DESTFILE=dest-filename] [DESTINATION={FLASHDEFAULT}] [HTTPPROXY={hostnameipaddDEFAULT}] [METHOD={HTTPLDAPTFTPWEBWWWZMODEMNONEDEFAULT}] [PASSWORD=password] [PROXYPORT={1..65535DEFAULT}] [{SCRFILEFILE}=filename] [SERVER={host-nameipaddDEFAULT}] [SERVPORT={1..65535DEFAULT}] [USERNAME=username]

You can set all parameters except DESTFILE, SCRFILE and FILE back to the factory defaults with the option DEFAULT.

For more information about setting the LOADER defaults on your switch, see the Operations chapter in the AT-8700XL Series Software Reference.

Example: Load a Patch File Using HTTP

This example loads a patch file onto the switch from a HTTP server on the network. Before following this procedure, make sure:

■The HTTP server is operating on a host with an IP address (for example 192.168.1.1) on the network, and that the patch file is in the server’s HTTP directory.

■The switch has an IP address (for example 192.168.1.2) on the interface connecting it to the HTTP server, and that it can communicate with the server.

■There is enough space in the switch’s FLASH for the new patch file.

To load a patch file

1. Configure the LOADER.

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

SET LOADER METHOD=HTTP SERVER=192.168.1.1

DESTINATION=FLASH

2.Download the patch file.

Download the patch file onto the switch, using the defaults set above.

LOAD FILE=87251-01.paz

When the download has completed, check that the file is in FLASH.

SHOW FILE

This shows the file 87251-01.pazis present.

To activate the patch see “To upgrade to a new patch file:” on page 59.

at-8700xl series switch specifications

Allied Telesis AT-8700XL Series Switches are sophisticated networking devices designed to meet the demanding requirements of modern enterprise environments. These managed Ethernet switches are optimized for reliability, performance, and scalability, making them ideal for various applications, from small businesses to large-scale networks.

One of the standout features of the AT-8700XL series is its robust Layer 2 and Layer 3 capabilities. This versatility allows the switches to perform both basic switching and advanced routing functions, facilitating efficient data traffic management. The series supports a wide range of standard protocols, including VLANs, STP, and RSTP, ensuring smooth and flexible network segmentation.

Another critical characteristic is the series' high-speed connectivity options. With multiple Gigabit Ethernet ports, the AT-8700XL series can handle significant data loads, ensuring seamless communication between connected devices. Furthermore, some models within the series offer 10 Gigabit uplink ports, providing the necessary bandwidth to connect to core networks or high-speed servers.

The AT-8700XL series incorporates advanced Quality of Service (QoS) features that enable network administrators to prioritize traffic effectively. This is particularly crucial for applications sensitive to latency, such as VoIP and video conferencing. By ensuring that time-sensitive data packets are transmitted promptly, the switches help maintain optimal performance across the entire network.

Power over Ethernet (PoE) support is yet another advantage of the AT-8700XL series. This feature allows the switches to deliver power to connected devices, such as IP cameras and wireless access points, via the Ethernet cable. This capability simplifies installations by reducing the need for additional power sources, ultimately saving on costs and improving efficiency.

Security is paramount in any network, and the AT-8700XL series does not disappoint. The switches employ robust security protocols, including Access Control Lists (ACLs), MAC address filtering, and DHCP snooping, to protect against unauthorized access and ensure network integrity.

In summary, Allied Telesis AT-8700XL Series Switches offer a comprehensive solution for various networking needs. With their Layer 2 and Layer 3 capabilities, high-speed connectivity, QoS features, PoE support, and security measures, these switches are well-equipped to enhance network efficiency and reliability, making them an excellent choice for organizations looking to future-proof their infrastructure.
