Configuration Files; Upgrade Methods; Preparing For The Upgrade - H3C SECPATH 5080F-CMW710-R9628P2414 Release Notes

Configuration files

You can save settings you made to a configuration file so they can survive a reboot.
The device supports .cfg configuration files. The default .cfg configuration file is named startup.cfg.

Upgrade methods

To upgrade system software, use one of the following methods:

Upgrading system software from the CLI

Upgrading system software from the Web interface

Upgrading system software from BootWare menus
To upgrade the BootWare, use either of the following methods:

Upgrading the BootWare from the CLI

Upgrading BootWare from BootWare menus
You must reboot the device after a system software or BootWare upgrade. A device reboot interrupts
services.
Before a software upgrade, read the release notes to identify the command changes. Some
commands in the configuration file might not be supported after a software upgrade.

Preparing for the upgrade

The device can function as the TFTP client, FTP client, or FTP server. In the following examples that
use TFTP or FTP, the device functions as the TFTP or FTP client.
To use a PC as the TFTP or FTP server, prepare the TFTP or FTP server software by yourself. The
device is not shipped with the software.
Before you upgrade system software, complete the following tasks:

Set up the upgrade environment as shown in
PC are 192.168.0.2 and 255.255.255.0, respectively.

Run a TFTP or FTP server on the file server. (Skip this task if you upgrade software from the
Web interface.)

Assign an IP address to the file server. Make sure the management Ethernet port on the device
and the file server can reach each other.
By default, the IP address of the management Ethernet port GigabitEthernet 1/0/0 is
192.168.0.1/24 and the management Ethernet port belongs to the Management security zone.
The Management security zone and the Local security zone can communicate with each
other.
You can also change the IP address of the management Ethernet port from its default and add
it to a security zone other than Management. Then, you configure a zone pair to make sure the
security zone and the Local security zone can communicate with each other. For more
information about security zones and zone pairs, see the security zone configuration in the
fundamentals configuration guide.

Transfer the software upgrade file to the file server and set the working directory on the TFTP or
FTP server.

Log in to the CLI of the device through the console port. (Skip this task if you upgrade software
from the Web interface.)

Make sure the upgrade has minimal impact on the network services. During the upgrade, the
device cannot provide any services.
