Uploading and Downloading the Access Control Address Table
You can upload and download the access control address table, via TFTP. This can be useful:
Ÿ To check for errors if there appears to be a mismatch between the addresses displayed by the SHOW
SECURITY ATM_ADDRESS command and the addresses manually entered in the access control
address table.
Ÿ As a means of manually entering, updating, or removing ATM addresses. Once you have made your
changes, you can download the access control address table from the TFTP server and display its
contents using the SHOW SECURITY ATM_ADDRESS command (regardless of whether security is
enabled or not). If security is enabled, the new access control address table will automatically come
into effect.
Uploading the Access Control Address Table
To manually upload the access control address table, enter the following commands:
1. SET TFTP SERVER_IP_ADDRESS (to define where the file is to be stored on the server)
2. SET TFTP FILE_NAME (to define the path name for the file on the server)
3. SET TFTP FILE_TYPE SECURITY_CONFIG
4. UPLOAD (to upload the file).
Downloading the Access Control Address Table
To download the access control address table, enter the following commands:
1. SET TFTP SERVER_IP_ADDRESS (to define the server where the file is stored)
2. SET TFTP FILE_NAME (to define the path name of the file on the server)
3. SET TFTP FILE_TYPE SECURITY_CONFIG
4. DOWNLOAD (to download the file).
Updating the Access Control Address Table
If you are intending to enter all the ATM addresses to be authorized directly in the access control address
table on the server (as opposed to using the terminal dialog or autolearn function), you may find it helpful
to first enter one address through the terminal dialog, which can then be used as a base for your other
addresses. Once you have done this, upload the access control address table to the server as described
in “Uploading the Access Control Address Table.”
The access control address table file contains four fields:
Ÿ ATM address field, which contains the address to be authorized
Ÿ ATM mask field, which determines if the full address (19 bytes) or the ESI part of the address (bytes
14 through 19) are to be used for validation purposes.
Ÿ The slot and port fields, which are to specify a particular port for which the address is authorized.
