Chapter 16: File Download and Upload Commands
254
❑Start the TFTP server software before you perform the command.
❑The switch from where you are uploading the file must have an IP
address and subnet mask, such as a master switch of an enhanced
stack. To upload a file from a switch that does not have an IP
address, such as a slave switch, you can perform an Xmodem
upload from a local management session.
The DESTFILE parameter specifies a name for the file. This is the name
that the file will be stored as on the TFTP server. When you name an
uploaded file, you should give it the three-letter extension that
corresponds to its file type. The extensions are listed in Table 1 on
page 239.
The SERVER parameter specifies the IP address of the network node
containing the TFTP server software where the uploaded file will be
stored.
The equivalent SRCFILE and FILE parameters specify the name of the file
to be uploaded from the switch. You have three options:
❑SWITCHCFG - Uploads the switch’s active boot configuration file
to the TFTP server.
❑filename - Uploads a file from the switch’s file system to the TFTP
server. This differs from the SWITCHCFG parameter in that the
latter uploads just the active boot configuration file, while this
parameter can upload any file in the file system.
❑APPBLOCK - Uploads the switch’s active AT-S62 image file to the
TFTP server.
Examples
The following command uses TFTP to upload a configuration file called
“sw22 boot.cfg” from the switch’s file system to a TFTP server with an IP
address of 149.88.88.88. The command stores the file on the server with
the same name that it has on the switch:
upload method=tftp destfile="sw22 boot.cfg"
server=149.88.88.88 srcfile="sw22 boot.cfg"
