Appendix B Upgrading software

CAUTION:

Upgrade software only when necessary and under the guidance of a technical support engineer.

The device software can be upgraded through console port, TFTP, and FTP.

Remote Upgrading through CLI

You may upgrade the application and Boot ROM program of a device remotely through command line

interface (CLI). To this end, telnet to the device from a computer (at 10.10.110.1) running FTP Server first;

and then FTP the application and Boot ROM program, switch.app and switch.btm for example, from the

FTP server as follows:

<H3C> ftp 10.10.110.1

The app to boot at the next time is: flash:/ switch.app

<H3C> reboot

After getting the new application file, reboot the device to have the upgraded application take effect.

Note that if you do not have enough Flash space, upgrade the Boot ROM program first, and then FTP the

application to the device.

The following sections introduce some approaches to local upgrading.
