Configuring Boot
ROM Upgrade with
App File
By enabling Boot ROM to upgrade together with the app file, you can ensure that
the Boot ROM versions of the current Switch Fabric and service cards can match
the version of the current app file, thus avoiding invalid feature implementation
caused by mismatching.
Two upgrade types are available:
■ The current startup file as the upgrade file for Boot ROM
■ The specified App file as the upgrade file for Boot ROM

CAUTION:
■ If you do not specify a slot number in the boot bootrom command, the system
upgrades all normal boards in position by default.
■ After you specify the primary startup file for the next booting, the system
upgrades all normal boards in the process of upgrading Boot ROM. You need
also to confirm the upgrade operation in the upgrade process.
