AT-S25 Management Software Release Notes
613-50514-00 Rev A 4 Allied Telesyn, Inc.
TFTP Guidelines
In the legacy code of AT-S25 Version 1.5.6.2 or an earlier version and Version 1.5.6.3, the TFTP
server software runs on the switch, so the user has to use the Put command of the TFTP client
software on a PC to download an image file to the switch. However, AT-S25 Version 2.0.2 is
designed to use the TFTP client software on the switch. As a result, the user must run TFTP
server on the PC to download the image file to the switch when Version 2.0.2 is the current
software. For further information on software downloads, refer to the AT-S25 Management
Software User’s Guide.
TFTP software is available from various sources and is included in SNMP, which can be
purchased through Allied Telesyn. A command line version, is included in most UNIX variants,
Windows 2000, Windows NT, and Windows XP. Please consult the documentation or the
manufacturer of the software for instructions on how to use the software.
NOTE:
This is a two-step method used to upgrade the software to the switch modules that
are part of a stacked configuration or to the entire stack at once. This method may
be performed from either a local or a remote host PC.
Regardless of the manufacturer, all TFTP client software will need the following information:
❑ Host - This is the IP address of the switch to which you are downloading the software.
❑ Binary or ANSI - You will need to specify binary mode (-i) for the file transfer.
❑ Put - The Put command is used to download a new software image file to the switch.
❑ Source file - When using the Put command to download software to the stack, enter the
path and filename of the file to be downloaded onto the switch. The filename must be
“ATS25_V1563.IMG” or “ATS25_V200.IMG” depending on the new software image that is
being downloaded.
❑ Destination file - When using the Put command to download the software from a stack,
the filename must be “ats25.img”. (No path should be specified for this file.)
Example:
Use the following TFTP Put command to download Version 1.5.6.3 image file onto a
switch with an IP address of 149.35.1.1:
tftp -i 149.35.1.1 put c:\ats25_v1563.img ats25.img
or
Use the following TFTP Put command to download Version 2.0.2 image file onto a switch
with an IP address of 149.35.1.1:
tftp -i 149.35.1.1 put c:\ats25_v202.img ats25.img
