12.4 Autoload: boot up activation
Autoload configurations specify how the device should behave with respect to activation
when it boots up. Autoload entries contain information about the specific files to be
downloaded and the destination for the downloaded file. Standard autoload entry
configurations to download are:
 A firmware file ($$.img)
 A configuration file ($$.ini)
 A .vas file ($$.vas). This file signals the end of the autolaod sequence to Activator
Activator identifies the device using the serial number of the router. $$ syntax is used to
denote the serial number of the router when requesting a file. The requested files are
written to the alternate image or config segment.
You can change the settings either directly in the configuration file or via appropriate UCI
set commands. It is normal procedure for autoload to be enabled in the router’s factory
settings and disabled in running configurations (config 1 and 2).
Autoload may already have been set at factory config level. If you wish to enable
autoload services, proceed through the following steps.
