Loading a patch file
Loading the correct patch files is the basis of other hotfixing operations.
• If you install a patch from a patch file, the system loads a patch file from the Flash by default.
If you install a patch from a patch package, the system finds the correct patch file in the patch
•
package file and loads the patch file.
CAUTION:
Set the file transfer mode to binary mode before using FTP or TFTP to upload or download patch files to or
from the Flash of the device. Otherwise, patch file cannot be parsed properly.
Follow these steps to load a patch file in standalone mode:
To do...
Enter system view

storage media (the Flash) to the
specified memory patch area
Follow these steps to load a patch file in IRF mode:

rebooted, the patch becomes invalid.
If you find that an ACTIVE patch is of some problem, reboot the device to deactivate the patch, so as to
avoid a series of running faults resulting from patch error.
