LOAD METHOD=TFTP

Syntax

load method=tftp destfile=appblockfilename server=ipaddress srcfilefile=filename

Parameters
method	Specifies a TFTP download.
destfile	Specifies the destination filename for the file. This is the
	name given to the file when it is stored in the switch’s
	file system. The name can be from 1 to 15 alphanumeric
	characters, not including the three-letter extension. If
	the name includes spaces, enclose it in double quotes.
	The name must be unique from any files already stored
	in the file system. The command will not overwrite a
	preexisting file with the same name.
	The APPBLOCK option specifies the application block of
	the switch’s flash memory. This is the area of memory
	reserved for the switch’s active AT-S62 image file. The
	APPBLOCK option is used to download a new AT-S62
	image file from a TFTP server to the application block of
	the switch so that it functions as the new active image
	file on the switch.
server	Specifies the IP address of the TFTP server on the
	network.
srcfile or file	Specifies the filename of the file on the TFTP server to
	download onto the switch. If the filename contains a
	space, enclose the name in double quotes. These
	parameters are equivalent.
Description

An TFTP download uses the TFTP client software on the switch to download files onto the unit from a TFTP server on your network. For example, you might use the command to update a switch’s AT-S62 image file, or to download a different boot configuration file or a SSL public key certificate.
