netload

user level:

This command allows you to download a file over a network from a host using TFTP.

admin

The file can be one of several types; e.g. a configuration file of another unit. The list

Syntax

of file types is shown below.

netload [nowrite] filetype hostname filename

 

where you replace the word ‘filetype’ with one of the following words:

configuration

a configuration file of a unit

term1

the first of your extra terminal definition files

term2

the second of your extra terminal definition files

term3

the third of your extra terminal definition files

software

a new version of a unit’s software

 

and where:

hostname

is one from the list of hosts defined in the unit’s host table. Type ? to show

 

the host table entries. Select a host by typing its name, e.g. aristotle.

filename

must include the path to the file e.g. /etc/xxxx/config/... The path/filename

 

must start with the ‘forward slash’ / character; do not specify a drive letter.

 

For terminal definition files, the unit will refer to your filename (after

 

downloading) as either ‘term1’ ‘term2’ or ‘term3’.

nowrite

is an optional parameter which allows you to put the downloaded file into

 

RAM without a write to FLASH memory. You must type the word ‘nowrite’

 

immediately after ‘netload’ (separated by a space). Subsequently you can

 

save the file to FLASH by re-using the netload command without the

 

‘nowrite’ option.

 

During and/or after download you will see status messages at the command line, e.g.

 

TFTP: transfer succeeded

Note you can configure TFTP in the unit; see the command set server. The downloaded files will take effect as follows:

configuration

immediately after successful download. When you continue to use

 

the cli or menus, you will be using the new configuration

term1, term2 and

 

term3
