where:
■ delay is a time delay, in seconds.
■ filename is a character string, 1 to 100 characters in length. This is a full path
name for the file to load in the syntax of the server from which the file will
be loaded.
■
ipadd is an IP address in dotted decimal notation.
■
hostname is a character string, 1 to 40 characters in length.
■
port is the number of an asynchronous port. Ports are numbered
sequentially starting with port 0.
Description
This command downloads a file to the router using Trivial File Transfer Protocol
(TFTP), HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP), ZMODEM or direct input from an
asynchronous port. Any parameters not specified use the default values set
with the SET LOADER command on page 1-83. Some parameters are invalid or
have different meanings depending on the method used to download the file.
The DELAY parameter specifies the delay, in seconds, between initiating the
file download and the download actually starting. This feature is provided to
allow reconfiguration of ports and devices after initiating the download. For
example, a manager may be at a remote site with a single PC which is to act as
both the access device to the router and the TFTP server. By specifying a delay,
the manager has time to reconfigure the PC from terminal emulation mode to
TFTP server mode before the download starts. The DELAY parameter is
optional.
The DESTINATION parameter specifies where the file will be stored. If NVS is
specified, the file is stored in the battery backed non-volatile storage on the
router. Only patch files and script files can be stored in NVS due to the size
limitations of NVS. If FLASH is specified, the file is stored in the FLASH File
System (FFS) on the router. Patch files, release files and script files may be
stored in FLASH. If DESTINATION is not specified, and has not been set with
the SET LOADER command on page 1-83, the default is FLASH.
The FILE parameter specifies the name of the file, in the syntax of the server
from which the file will be downloaded. The FILE parameter is required unless
it has been set with the SET LOADER command on page 1-83. The FILE
parameter is a full path name rather than just a file name. The only restriction is
that the last part of the file parameter must be a valid file name for the
LOADER module. When METHOD is set to TFTP, HTTP, ZMODEM or NONE,
