Description
An XMODEM upload uses the Xmodem utility to upload a file from the
switch to a terminal or computer with a terminal emulator program
connected to the serial terminal port on the switch. You can use the
command to upload a switch’s active boot configuration file or any
other file from the file system, such as an SSL certificate enrollment
request or a public encryption key. The command also allows you to
upload the switch’s active AT-S62 software image from the application
block to a your terminal or workstation, though it is unlikely you would
ever have need for that function.
When performing an Xmodem upload, note the following:
❑An Xmodem upload must be performed from a local
management session.
❑Xmodem can only upload a file from the switch where you started
the local management session. Xmodem cannot upload a file
from a switch accessed through enhanced stacking.
The equivalent SRCFILE and FILE parameters specify the name of the file
that you want to upload from the switch. You have three options:
❑SWITCHCFG - Uploads the switch’s active boot configuration file.
