The following example shows how to load an NBAR protocol pack named defProtoPack from the hard disk:

Device> enable
Device# configure terminal
Device(config)# ip nbar protocol-pack harddisk:defProtoPack
Device(config)# exit

The following example shows how to revert to the base image version of the NBAR protocol pack:

Device> enable
Device# configure terminal
Device(config)# default ip nbar protocol-pack
Device(config)# exit

The following example shows how to use the force keyword to load a protocol pack of a lower version:

Device> enable
Device# configure terminal
Device(config)# ip nbar protocol-pack harddisk:olddefProtoPack force
Device(config)# exit

    <long-description>ActiveSync is a mobile data synchronization technology and protocol based on HTTP, developed by Microsoft. There are two implementations of the technology: one which synchronizes data and information with handheld devices with a specific desktop computer, and another technology, commonly known as Exchange ActiveSync (or EAS), which provides push synchronization of contacts, calendars, tasks, and email between ActiveSync-enabled servers and devices.</long-description>
