3051.0. "TFTP timeout, way to change? Hubloader?" by PTOJJD::DANZAK (Pittsburgher �) Sun Dec 10 1995 08:51

    I've tried to upgrade some hub modules and had TFTP timeouts! Aarugh. 
    THe only way to fix this was to DISCONNECT the hub from the network and
    upgrade.  (Using HUBloader on the PC etc.)
    
    Where can I change the TFTP timeout?  It doesn't seem to appear in the
    .INI file in the NETRIDER loader etc.
    
    Thanks,
    j

3051.1Dealing with TFTP timeouts....NETCAD::BATTERSBYMon Dec 11 1995 09:058
    Jon, if you're doing MAM assisted loads, there is likely to be
    a higher possibility of timeouts. You may want to do loads on those
    particular units in-band. However if you are doing in-band loads
    and getting timeouts, then using HUBloader on the PC etc. is a
    reasonable alternative. I don't think the TFTP timeout can be
    adjusted.

3051.2Aarugh, the MAM is timing outPTOJJD::DANZAKPittsburgher �Mon Dec 11 1995 10:219
    (aarugh...looking for razor blades...) I was doing the MAM itself
    so...sigh...and THEN I have to do mega amounts of repeaters on this
    campus....

    time...)

    I believe there is a setup window in the NETRider TFTP Server we
    shipped with HUBloader that allows you to set the number of retries
    and the timeout period between each.  By default I believe you get
    2 retries with a 4 second timeout period for each.

3051.4NO, they are NOT an optionPTOJJD::DANZAKPittsburgher �Sun Dec 17 1995 20:2430
    John,
    
    No.
    
    The options in the NETrider loader are:
    
       FILE:
         Exit
    
       CONFIG:
         Servers  (IP addresses etc.)
         Files    (Load files) 
         Options  (load/dump request enable, load/dump file enable, auto
                   server startup)
    
       LOADER:
         Start
         Stop
    
       HELP:
    
    
    The Hubloader V1.1.0 has no timeout options.....
    
    So...WHERE should I look?  HELP!
    
    Thanks,
