Using UNIX System Commands
Load
Purpose
The load utility loads the specified protocol on workstations using Demand
Protocol Architecture (DPA).
Syntax
load protocol [/i]
where
protocol
Is the name of the protocol to be loaded. Information regarding protocols is
placed in the PROTOCOL.INI file and in
LANMAN.DOS\DRIVERS\PROTOCOL by the installation program. You
should not edit these files yourself.
/i
Displays a list of loaded protocols and the order in which they were bound.
Comments
By default, the network (and protocol) is specified in the AUTOEXEC.BAT
file. The load utility allows you to load protocols as you need them.
Do not use the load utility while running the Microsoft Windows operating
system. Either load the protocol before running the Windows operating
system, or stop the Windows operating system, load the protocol, and then
restart the Windows operating system.
You may need to load a secondary protocol to access certain network
resources. If you were using such a resource when you logged out, and the
required protocol is not automatically loaded when you log on again, and
you are using the persistent connections feature, you will receive a message
that the resource is unavailable. You will be able to reconnect to the resource
after you load the required protocol.
