switches in your network, and then download its configuration file to the
other switches. This can save you the trouble of having to configure each
switch individually.
There are a several different ways for downloading and uploading files
onto a switch. They are:
❑ Local management session
One method for downloading or uploading files is from a local
management session on the switch using either Xmodem or TFTP.
The procedure for this is explained in Transferring Files from a
Local Management Session on page 216.
❑ Remote management session
Another method for downloading or uploading files is from a
remote Telnet management session on the switch using TFTP. The
procedure for this is explained in Transferring Files from a
Telnet Session on page 220.
❑ Switch to switch
This procedure is useful if you have a large number of AT-8000
Series switches in your network. What you can do is upgrade the
software on one master switch and then instruct the master
switch to upgrade the software in the other switches in the same
subnet. This procedure is explained in Downloading Files Switch
to Switch on page 223.
