Enabling/Disabling Image and Parameter Protocols
Use the following command to enable or disable software load image
protocols and operational parameter protocols:
Use this command to specify one or all load protocols to use when the access
server searches for a software load image file or a parameter file. You
specify whether the protocol applies to the software load image or the
parameter file in the command line.
By default, a MAXserver attempts to obtain the software load image using
the CARD protocol and the parameter file using the NVS protocol. If a card
is not present, or the NVS protocol is disabled, the access server attempts to
obtain these files using other protocols in this order: DTFTP, XMOP, MOP,
BOOTP, RARP. All of these protocols except DTFTP are enabled by default.
If you use the keyword ALL to enable all protocols, you also enable DTFTP.
You cannot use DTFTP to load the parameter file except on the Network
9000 Access Server 720 which doesn’t have NVS. If you do enable DTFTP,
specify the following IP addresses:
·
The load host
·
The access server
·
The gateway router to the load host, if necessary
Use the DEFINE SERVER LOAD IP commands to specify this information.
