Enabling/Disabling Loading Protocols
The DEFINE SERVER LOAD PROTOCOL command specifies 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 uses the CARD protocol to obtain the software load
image and the NVS protocol to obtain the parameter file. If a flash card is
not present, or the NVS protocol is disabled, the access server will try to
obtain these files using other protocols in the following order: XMOP, MOP,
BOOTP, RARP, DTFTP. 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. If you do enable DTFTP,
you must specify the Internet address of the load host, the Internet address
of the access server, and the Internet address of the gateway to the load
host, if necessary. Use the DEFINE SERVER LOAD INTERNET commands
specify this information.
Use the following command to load the parameter file:
DEFINE SERVER LOAD [

Examples
This example enables DTFTP as a protocol to use for the software load
image in the primary initialization record. (Enabling this protocol requires
that you specify DTFTP information with the DEFINE SERVER LOAD
INTERNET commands.)
