Configuration prerequisites

Patches are released per device model or card type. Before patching the system, you need to save the

appropriate patch files to the storage media of the device using FTP or TFTP. When saving the patch files,

note that:

• The patch files match the device model and software version. If they are not matched, the hotfixing

operation fails.

• Name a patch file properly. Otherwise, the system cannot locate the patch file and the hotfixing

operation fails. The name is in the format of “patch_PATCH-FLAG suffix.bin”. The PATCH-FLAG is

pre-defined and support for the PATCH-FLAG depends on device model or card type. The first three

characters of the version item (using the display patch information command) represent the

PATCH-FLAG suffix. The system searches the root directory of the storage media (Flash by default)

for patch files based on the PATCH-FLAG. If there is a match, the system loads patches to or install

them on the memory patch area.
