Uploading Files From the Router
The LOADER can upload files from the router to a network host, using TFTP or
ZMODEM. Upload files using one of the commands:
UPLOAD [METHOD=TFTP] [FILE=filename]
[SERVER={hostname|ipadd}]
UPLOAD [METHOD=ZMODEM] [FILE=filename] [ASYN=port]
The UPLOAD command uses defaults set with the SET LOADER command,
for parameters not specified with the upload command.
You can install Allied Telesyn’s Trivial File Transfer Protocol Server (AT-TFTPD
on any PC or server running Windows. This will provide a simple way to make
files available to all Allied Telesyn routers and layer 3 switches in your
network. The TFTP Server, and a readme file describing how to install and use
it, are provided on the AR400 Series Router Documentation and Tools CD-ROM.
Example: Upload a Configuration File Using TFTP
This example uploads a configuration file from the router to a TFTP server on
the network. Before following this procedure, make sure:
■
The TFTP server is operating on a host with an IP address (for example
192.168.1.3) on the network.
■
The router has a valid IP address (for example 192.168.1.2) on the interface
connecting it to the TFTP server, and that it can communicate with the
server.
■
The configuration file is present in the router’s FLASH.
To upload a log file:
1. Configure the LOADER.
Set the LOADER module with defaults to make the process of
downloading and uploading files in future simpler.
SET LOADER METHOD=TFTP SERVER=192.168.1.3
2. Upload the configuration file.
Upload the log file from the router into the TFTP directory of the TFTP
server on the network, using the defaults set above.
UPLOAD FILE=filename.log
Monitor the load progress.
SHOW LOAD
When the upload is complete, check that the file is in the TFTP directory on
the network host.
