In the CLI approach, the following two methods are available for software upgrading:
z
Upgrade BootWare and applications using the Xmodem protocol through a serial
interface.
z
Upgrade applications using TFTP/FTP through Ethernet interface on BootWare
menu or through command lines.
Note:
z
The BootWare program is upgraded together with the Comware application. You do
not need to upgrade the BootWare separately. The system automatically upgrades
the BootWare program to the latest version if the current BootWare version is found
to be inconsistent with the BootWare version contained in the host application.
z
Check the current version of the BootWare and the Comware application before
upgrading them. For the association between the Comware application version and
the BootWare program version, refer to the version configuration information in
Release Notes
.
