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.
