Introduction

The following information provides an example for configuring software upgrade through the BootWare menu.

Prerequisites

This document is not restricted to specific software or hardware versions. Procedures and information in the examples might be slightly different depending on the software or hardware version of the device.

The configuration examples were created and verified in a lab environment, and all the devices were started with the factory default configuration. When you are working on a live network, make sure you understand the potential impact of every command on your network.

The following information is provided based on the assumption that you have basic knowledge of software upgrade.

Configuration examples

Network configuration

As shown in Figure 1, the PC is connected to the device through the console cable and the network port on the PC is connected to the management port of the device. Perform software upgrade for the device through the BootWare menu.

Figure 1 Network diagram

 

Analysis

Upload the software upgrade version via TFTP, and then perform the upgrade by using the extended BootWare segment.

Prerequisites

Download the required software version for the device from the H3C official website and save it to the local PC.

Procedures

1.     Run the TFTP Server program on the PC and specify the file path for program downloading.

2.     Run the terminal emulator program on the PC and log in to the device through the console port. Then, execute the reboot command to reboot the device. When Press Ctrl+B to access EXTENDED-BOOTWARE MENU... appears, press Ctrl+B to the EXTENDED-BOOTWARE menu. The device enters the main EXTENDED-BOOTWARE menu during the startup. When the system prompts Enter your choice(0-9):, enter 3 to access the Ethernet submenu.
