You may see files on your router with file name extensions not listed in Table 6
on page 59. If you require more information about file types and file name
extensions, contact your authorised distributor or reseller.
Do not change the header in a release or patch file. At best, this will cause the
file load or install to fail, at worst the router could be put into a state where it
will not boot correctly until field service action is taken.
Loading Files
The LOADER module is responsible for loading and storing releases, patches,
PKI certificates 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.
You can also load text files without using any of these protocols. For
information about using Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) to
load PKI certificates or certificate revocation lists (CRLs), see the Operation
chapter in the AR400 Series Router Software Reference.
The router’s default download method is TFTP. To load a file onto the router
from a TFTP server using the TFTP protocol, enter the command:
LOAD [METHOD=TFTP] [DELAY=delay] [DESTFILE=destfilename]
[DESTINATION={BOOTBLOCK|FLASH}] [SERVER={hostname|ipadd}]
[SRCFILE|FILE=filename]

command.
