Chapter 3 System Management
Procedure of version restoration is basically the same as version
upgrade.
As mentioned previously, the ZXR10 5900/5200 supports config-
uration file import/export. Copy the configuration file startrun.dat
to the background host over FTP/TFTP, where edit the file with a
certain text editor, and then copy the file back to the foreground
Flash’s CFG directory over FTP/TFTP. The file will take effect the
next time the system is rebooted.
Note:
1. When use
copy
command to transfer FTP file between back
host and switch, fisrt configure host ip address in the same
network segment that VLAN interface ip address is in and the
interface which host connects belongs to the vlan and can ping
through Vlan ip address.
2. Pay attention to the format requirement while editing
startrun.dat with a text editor.
Software Version Upgrade
Normally, version upgrade is needed only when the original ver-
sion does not support some functions or the equipment cannot
run normally due to some special reasons. If version upgrade op-
erations are performed improperly, upgrade failure may occur or
the system fails to start. Therefore, before version upgrade, the
maintenance personnel must be familiar with the principles and
operations of the ZXR10 5900/5200 and learn the upgrade steps
earnestly.
