set to the factory default, which has no value set for HTTPPROXY, clearing any
value previously set as default.
The METHOD parameter specifies the method to use when downloading the
file. If HTTP is specified, HTTP is used to download the file. The options WEB
and WWW are synonyms for HTTP. If TFTP is specified, TFTP is used to
download the file. If ZMODEM is specified, the ZMODEM protocol is used to
download the file. If ZMODEM is specified, the PORT parameter must be
specified, unless it has been set with the SET LOADER command. If NONE is
specified, only text files can be downloaded and all input received via the port
will be directed to the specified file on the switch’s file subsystem. The file
transfer is terminated by the first control character received that is not a CR or
LF character. The FILE parameter is not valid when METHOD is set to
ZMODEM. The PORT parameter is not valid when METHOD is set to HTTP,
WEB, WWW, TFTP or NONE. If DEFAULT is specified, this parameter is set to
the factory default, which is TFTP.
The ASYN parameter specifies the asynchronous port via which the file will be
downloaded, when the METHOD parameter is set to ZMODEM or NONE. If
METHOD is set to ZMODEM or NONE, the PORT parameter is required
unless it has been set with the SET LOADER command. If DEFAULT is
specified, this parameter is set to the factory default, which is no PORT set,
clearing any value previously set as default.
The PROXYPORT parameter specifies the port on a proxy server. The
PROXYPORT parameter is only valid if METHOD is HTTP and HTTPPROXY
is specified. If DEFAULT is specified, this parameter is set to the factory
default, which is 80.
The SERVER parameter specifies the IP address or the host name (a fully
qualified domain name) of the TFTP server or HTTP server from which the file
is loaded. If a host name is specified, a DNS lookup is used to translate this to
an IP address. The SET IP NAMESERVER command can be used to define
name servers. The PING command can be used to verify that the switch can
communicate with the server via IP. The SERVER parameter is not used when
METHOD is set to ZMODEM or NONE. The following are examples of valid
server names when METHOD is set to HTTP:
host.company.com
192.168.3.4
If DEFAULT is specified, this parameter is set to the factory default, which has
no value set for SERVER, clearing any value previously set as default.
