The extended segment is successfully updated.
By now, the entire BootWare has been updated successfully.
The BootWare program is updated together with the Comware application. You do not need to

update the BootWare separately. After the Comware is updated to the latest version, the system
automatically updates the BootWare program to the latest version when the system reboots.
During the system startup, the FIP compares the current BootWare version with that bound to

the Comware application. If they are different, the system updates the BootWare version
automatically and displays prompt information on the user terminal. During update, do not
restart the system, insert or remove the FIP, or power off the device, which may result in
damage to the FIP.
The file name, size and path in the above figures may vary. Check the current BootWare and

application versions before updating them.
Updating BootWare and Applications Using TFTP
When the application file is large, you can update it using TFTP to save updating and
maintenance time.
Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP), a protocol in the TCP/IP protocol suite, is used for trivial
file transfer between client and server. It provides not-so-complex and low-cost file transfer
services. TFTP provides unreliable data transfer services over UDP and does not provide any
access authorization and authentication mechanism. It employs timeout and retransmission to
guarantee successful data delivery.
The router can serve as the TFTP client. The file server serves as the TFTP server. You can
upload/download the application file on the router to/from the file server.
There are two approaches to updating application files using TFTP:
Through the BootWare menu

Through the CLI
