Setting LOADER Defaults
You are likely to repeat the process of downloading files onto the router using a
similar method each time. You can set defaults for some or all of the LOADER
parameters. You can then use or override some or all of these defaults for each
particular load.
To set LOADER defaults, enter the command:
SET LOADER [ATTRIBUTE={CERT|CRL|CACERT|DEFAULT}]
[BASEOBJECT={dist-name|DEFAULT}] [DELAY={delay|DEFAULT}]
[DESTFILE=dest-filename] [DESTINATION={FLASH|DEFAULT}]
[HTTPPROXY={hostname|ipadd|DEFAULT}]
[METHOD={HTTP|LDAP|TFTP|WEB|WWW|ZMODEM|NONE|DEFAULT}]
[PASSWORD=password] [PROXYPORT={1..65535|DEFAULT}]
[{SCRFILE|FILE}=filename]
[SERVER={host-name|ipadd|DEFAULT}]
[SERVPORT={1..65535|DEFAULT}] [USERNAME=username]
You can set all parameters except DESTFILE, SCRFILE and FILE back to the
factory defaults with the option DEFAULT.
For more information about setting the LOADER defaults on your router, see
the Operations chapter in the AR400 Series Router Software Reference.
Example: Load a Patch File Using HTTP
This example loads a patch file onto the router from a HTTP server on the
network. Before following this procedure, make sure:
■
The HTTP server is operating on a host with an IP address (for example
192.168.1.1) on the network, and that the patch file is in the server’s HTTP
directory.
■
The router has an IP address (for example 192.168.1.2) on the interface
connecting it to the HTTP server, and that it can communicate with the
server.
■
There is enough space in the router’s FLASH for the new patch files.
T
o 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 router, using the defaults set above.
LOAD FILE=52232-01.paz
When the download has completed, check that the file is in FLASH.
SHOW FILE
This shows the file
52232-01.paz
is present.
To activate the patch see “To upgrade to a new patch file:” on page 37.
