2) Go to http://www.h3c.com/ 3) Select Documentation for Type of File and select Product Category. Software Upgrading Files To upgrade the software on SecBlade cards, you need to upgrade and maintain the following three categories of files: l BootWare program file l Application files l Configuration files BootWare program file The BootWare program file on a SecBlade card is used for booting application files and is saved on the Flash of the SecBlade card.
l The application files for booting the SecBlade card can be type M, B, and S, but not type N/A (type other than M, B, or S). l You can modify the name of application files using the rename command after the SecBlade card boots. If you changed the name of the secure application file, there is no secure application file on the CF card and you need to download a secure application file to the CF card again.
l The configuration files for SecBlade card configuration at boot time can be a file of type M or B, or a default configuration file of type N/A, but not non-default configuration files of type N/A. l You can modify the name of a configuration file in the CF card using a command after the SecBlade card boots.
The second and third are called conventional software upgrade methods. l The BootWare program is automatically upgraded when applications are upgraded, that is, you do not need to upgrade the BootWare separately. l Before software upgrade, check the current versions of the BootWare program and applications so as to use the correct files for upgrading.
l file file-url: Name of the boot file, consisting of 1 to 64 characters. l main: Main application file. l backup: Backup application file. l A boot file is an application file used to boot the SecBlade card. When there are multiple application files on the CF card, you can use the boot-loader command to specify an application file for the next boot. The main application file is used to boot the SecBlade card.
