Uploading Files from a Local Management Session
This section contains the procedure for uploading a switch’s AT-S39
software image or configuration file from a local management session.
Note
To upload a file through enhanced stacking or a Telnet
management session, go to Uploading Files from a Remote
Management Session on page 239.
Please note the following before you begin the procedure:
❑ You can use Xmodem or TFTP to upload a file from a local
management session.
❑ Xmodem can upload a file only from the switch where you started
the local management session. Xmodem cannot upload files
through enhanced stacking.
❑ To use TFTP, note the following:
— There must be a node on your network that contains the TFTP
server software.
— You should start the TFTP server before you begin the upload
procedure.
— The switch where you are uploading the file must have an IP
address. Consequently, you cannot use TFTP to upload a file
from a slave switch unless it has an IP address.
Note
It is not recommended that you upload an AT-S39 software image
onto a management workstation for download onto another
switch. New AT-S39 software images for download onto a switch
should be obtained from the Allied Telesyn web site.
To upload a software image or configuration file from a switch using a
local management session, perform the following procedure:
1. Start a local management session on the switch from where you
intend to upload the management software image or configuration
file.
For instructions, refer to Starting a Local Management Session
on page 31.
2. From the Main Menu, type 4 to select Administration Menu.
