LOAD METHOD=LOCAL

Syntax

load method=local destfile=appblock srcfilefile=filename

Parameters
method	Specifies a local download.
destfile	Specifies the application block (APPBLOCK) of the
	switch’s flash memory. This is the area of memory
	reserved for the switch’s active AT-S62 image file.
srcfile or file	Specifies the filename of the AT-S62 image file in the file
	system that you want to download into the application
	block. If the filename contains a space, enclose the
	name in double quotes. These parameters are
	equivalent.
Description

A local download is used to download an AT-S62 image file already stored in the switch’s file system to the application block, which is the section of flash memory reserved for the active AT-S62 running image. This function makes the AT-S62 file the new active image file on the switch. This command assumes that at some earlier point you downloaded a new version of the AT-S62 image file into the file system of a switch and you now want to make that image file the switch’s active image file.

When performing a local download, note the following:

❑The AT-S62 manage image that you want to be the new running image for the switch must already be stored in the switch’s file system.

❑The command must include the DESTFILE parameter with the APPBLOCK option.

❑Use the SRCFILE or FILE parameter to specify the name of the AT-S62 image file as it is stored in the switch’s file system.

❑The current configuration of a switch is retained when a new AT-S62 software image copied to the application block.
