To load a patch file
1. Configure the LOADER.
Set the LOADER module with defaults to make the process of
downloading files in future simpler.
SET LOADER METHOD=HTTP SERVER=192.168.1.1
DESTINATION=FLASH
2. Download the patch file.
Download the patch file onto the switch, using the defaults set above.
LOAD FILE=86251-01.paz
When the download has completed, check that the file is in FLASH.
SHOW FILE
This shows the file 86251-01.paz is present.
To activate the patch see “To upgrade to a new patch file:” on page 60.
Uploading Files From the Switch
The LOADER can upload files from the switch 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-TFTP
Server) 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 Rapier Series Switch Documentation and Tools CD-ROM.
Example: Upload a Configuration File Using TFTP
This example uploads a configuration file from the switch 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 switch 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
