Releases and Patches into the Switch
The LOADER module is responsible for loading and storing releases, patches
and other files into FLASH. The LOADER module uses the Trivial File Transfer
Protocol (TFTP), Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) or ZMODEM over an
asynchronous port, to retrieve files from a network host. The FFS module is
used to create, write and destroy release and patch files.
The loader can be configured with the command:
SET LOADER [DELAY=delay|DEFAULT]
[DESTINATION={FLASH|DEFAULT}] [FILE=filename]
[HTTPPROXY={hostname|ipadd|DEFAULT}]
[METHOD={HTTP|TFTP|WEB|WWW|ZMODEM|NONE|DEFAULT}]
[ASYN=port|DEFAULT] [PROXYPORT=1..65535|DEFAULT]
[SERVER={hostname|ipadd|DEFAULT}]
This command sets default values for the name of the file to load, the network
host to load it from, and the memory location in which to store the file. These
default values can be overridden when the load actually takes place. A time
delay between initiating a load and the start of the load can also be configured.
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 switch and the TFTP server. By specifying a delay,
the manager has time to reconfigure the PC from terminal emulation mode to
