The Boot ROM program and system boot file can both be upgraded through the Boot ROM menu or
command lines. The following sections describe the upgrading through command lines. For instructions
about how to upgrade them through the Boot ROM menu, refer to the installation menu of your device.

Upgrading the Boot ROM Program Through Command Lines

TFTP.
2) Use a command to specify the Boot ROM program for the next boot.
3) Reboot the device to make the specified Boot ROM program take effect.

strictly check the Boot ROM upgrade files for correctness and the version configuration information to
