load_broadcast
This Annex parameter defines, during a boot, whether or not the Annex
requests the configuration or message-of-the-day files from other hosts
on the network if any or all of the files are not available on the preferred
load host. A Y enables this parameter, an N disables it. The default is Y.
load_dump_gateway
This Annex parameter specifies the gateway's IP address. A gateway is
required if the preferred load or dump host is on a different network or
subnet than the Annex. The default is 0.0.0.0 (no gateway).
load_dump_sequence
This Annex parameter specifies available network interfaces (Ethernet,
SLIP, or self) and the order in which they are used for a down-line load
or an up-line dump. You can list more than one interface by using commas
to separate interface names. Table C-24 describes the valid options.
Table C-24. Valid Options for the load_dump_sequence Parameter
Option Description
net
For use with a local area network. This is the default value.
slnn
For use with a SLIP line, where nn is the number of the serial port.
self
Instructs the Annex to boot its image from the Flash ROMs. Since
the Annex cannot dump back to itself, when booting via self, always
have a secondary load/dump interface by setting
load_dump_sequence to self,net or self,slnn.
