where:
■ delay is a time delay, in seconds.
■ filename is a character string, 1 to 100 characters in length. This is a full path

Description
This command sets default values for the LOAD command on page 1-70. All
values that can be specified with the LOAD command can also be specified as
defaults with the SET LOADER command. All these parameters except FILE
can also be set back to the factory defaults with the option DEFAULT. Any
parameters not specified in the LOAD command will use the default value.
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. If DEFAULT is specified, this parameter is set to the factory default,
which is no delay.
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 DEFAULT is specified, this parameter is set to the factory
default, 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 a full path
name rather than just a file name. The only restriction is that the last part of the
parameter must be a valid file name for the LOADER module. When
METHOD is set to TFTP, HTTP, ZMODEM or NONE, valid file names are of
the form
filename.ext
where
filename
is one to eight characters in length
and
ext
is three characters in length. The following are examples of valid file
names for methods TFTP, ZMODEM or NONE:
\user\public\filename.ext ; UNIX or DOS server
[network.cfg]filename.ext ; DEC VAX server
