Allied Telesis management software layer 2+ fast ethernet switches AT-S62 configuration file

AT-S62 Command Line User’s Guide

Note

In previous versions of the AT-S62 management software this command also performed switch to switch file transfers for copying files from a master switch to other switches in an enhanced stack. That function is now part of UPLOAD METHOD=REMOTESWITCH on page 248

The DESTFILE parameter specifies a name for the file as it will be stored in the file system on the switch. Enclose the name in double quotes if it contains a space. When specifying the new name of a downloaded file, be sure to give it the correct three-letter extension that corresponds to its file type. The extensions are shown in Table 1.

Table 1 File Name Extensions

Extension	File Type
.cfg	AT-S62 configuration file
.cer	Public key certificate
.csr	Public key certificate enrollment
	request
.key	Encryption key file
.img	AT-S62 management software
	image

The APPBLOCK option of the DESTFILE parameter refers to the switch’s application block, which is the portion of flash memory reserved for the active AT-S62 image. This option downloads a new version of the AT-S62 image file into the application block, making it the active image file on the switch.

Note

The APPBLOCK option should only be used when downloading a new AT-S62 image file, and not with any other file type.

The equivalent FILE and SCRFILE parameters specify the name of the file on the TFTP server to download onto the switch.

Before downloading a file onto a switch using TFTP, note the following:

❑A TFTP download is supported from a local, Telnet or SSH management session.
