ˆ
You must use TFTP to download files from a remote management
session.
ˆ
If the switch supports a flash memory card, you can use these
procedures to download a file to the card rather than the switch’s file
system. To download a file to a flash memory card, you should first
change to the directory where you want to store the file on the card.
This procedure does not accept a directory path. For instructions on to
change to a different directory on a memory card, refer to “Changing
the Current Flash Card Directory” on page 166.
ˆ
Downloading the same configuration file onto multiple switches can
create IP address conflicts among the devices if the file contains
commands for creating routing interfaces with static IP addresses. This
may require adjusting the IP addresses of the routing interfaces after a
configuration file is uploaded onto a switch.
ˆ
A configuration file should only be downloaded onto the same model of
switch as the switch where it was created (for example, AT-9408LC/SP
to AT-9408LC/SP). Allied Telesis does not recommend uploading a
configuration file onto a switch of a different model (for example,
AT-9408LC/SP to AT-9424T/SP). Undesirable switch behavior may
result.
ˆ
You cannot download a private encryption key onto a switch, but you
can download a public key. However, because the switch can only use
those encryption keys that it has generated itself, Allied Telesis
recommends against downloading any keys onto the switch.
These guidelines apply to an Xmodem download:
ˆ
Xmodem can only download a file onto the switch where you started
the local management session. You cannot use Xmodem to download
a file onto a switch accessed through enhanced stacking.
ˆ
The file to be downloaded must be stored on the computer or terminal
connected to the RS232 terminal port on the switch.
These guidelines apply to a TFTP download:
ˆ
The switch must have a routing interface on the local subnet from
where it reaches the TFTP server. The switch uses the IP address of
the interface as its source address when sending packets to the TFTP
server. For switches without an IP address, such as slave switches,
you can download the file from a local management session of the
switch using Xmodem.
ˆ
Your network must have a node with TFTP server software.
ˆ
The file to be downloaded must be stored on the TFTP server.
ˆ
You should start the TFTP server software before you begin the
download procedure.
