Uploading Files From the Switch

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

UPLOAD [METHOD=TFTP] [FILE=filename]

[SERVER={hostnameipadd}]

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 switch 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 switch 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 switch’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

2.Upload the configuration file.

Upload the configuration file from the switch into the TFTP directory of the TFTP server on the network, using the defaults set above.

UPLOAD FILE=filename.cfg

Monitor the load progress.

SHOW LOAD

When the upload is complete, check that the file is in the TFTP directory on the network host.

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. The AT-8700XL series exemplifies Allied Telesis's commitment to delivering high-quality networking solutions that cater to the evolving demands of businesses today.
