Name

load − down-line load software to a target node

Syntax

/usr/sbin/load [ node ]

Description

The load command loads software to an unattended target node. The target node is loaded by the host that executes the load command.

The load command requires the identification of the service circuit over which the load is performed, the Ethernet hardware address of the target node, and the service password needed to gain access to the target.  This information is included in the MOP client database entry for the target node.  A client entry is defined with the addnode command or NCL commands.  For further information, see addnode(.).

For full usage of the load requestor, use NCL load mop client.  Refer to the DECnet-Plus Network Control Language Reference for NCL usage. 

If the target node has a Phase IV address (a.n) and needs the address information to be triggered, use NCL commands to set the values. 
 

Options

−p Uses the specified service and password (next arguments) in accessing the target node.  You can omit a target node’s service and password from the nodes database for security reasons, but you must then specify the service and password in the command line by using the −p option.

Examples

# /usr/sbin/load bangor −p 130fe

This command causes node bangor to be loaded by the Digital UNIX host node executing the command.  The Digital UNIX host uses the load files specified in the nodes database entry for node bangor to perform the load.
