The BootWare program is upgraded together with the Comware application. You do not need to
upgrade the BootWare separately. After the Comware is upgraded to the latest version, the system
automatically upgrades the BootWare when the system reboots.

When a service card is started up, it automatically checks the current BootWare version. If the
BootWare version bound to the Comware application is different from the current BootWare
version, the system upgrades the current BootWare version automatically.

BootWare and application versions before upgrading them.
Upgrading BootWare and Applications Using TFTP
If the application file is large, you can use TFTP to upgrade it to reduce upgrade time.
Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP), a protocol in the TCP/IP suite, is used for 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 mechanisms to guarantee
successful data delivery.
