Appendix B Using BOOT Loader
Avaya M770 ATM Switch User’s Guide 283
Uploading over tftp
In order to upload over TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol), the remote file server
must be accessible from the MSPV/MSPX Ethernet Sideband port. To verify this
connectivity you should ping from the file server to the IP of the MSPV/MSPX.
To upload a file over TFTP, use the system upload tftp command.
Note: The main purpose of upload command is to save configuration files on a
source other than the M770 ATM Switch.
Rebooting the switch
It is highly recommended that you use the system reboot command to reboot
the AvayaM770 instead of using the reset button. This is because the system
reboot command first flushes any outstanding configuration updates to the non-
volatile memory, whereas pressing the reset button may cause configuration
information to be lost.
To reboot the switch, use the system reboot command. You will be prompted to
confirm the operation.
Note: When the M770 ATM Switch is rebooted, all connections to the switch will be
lost.
