Syntax
load method=local destfile=appblock
srcfile|file=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

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.
