  • Page 42: Software Maintenance

    Software Maintenance Introduction Files Managed by the Router BootWare file The BootWare file is used to boot an application. A complete BootWare file includes two segments: basic and extended. Application files By default, the MSR 20- 1 X routers define three application files for booting: main, backup, and secure. The system selects these three files in sequence to start up the router.
  • Page 43: Software Maintenance Methods

    By default, the system defines three configuration files for booting: main, backup, and default file. If the three configuration files are loaded in a storage device, the system selects them in sequence until the router is successfully loaded. To change the sequence of these configuration files or modify them, refer to Maintaining Application and Configuration Files on page 55.
  • Page 44: Maintaining Application Program And Configuration Through Command Lines

    NOTE: The BootWare program is upgraded together with the Blinux application program. You do not need to • upgrade the BootWare separately. When upgrading the Blinux program, the system checks whether the running BootWare version is consistent with that in the updating host application program. If inconsistent, the system asks whether to upgrade the BootWare.
