Introduction
This document provides software upgrade examples. In this document, examples of upgrading software from the CLI use the non-ISSU method.
Prerequisites
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, FTP, and TFTP.
Upgrading software from the CLI
Example: Using the device as a TFTP client to upgrade software
Network configuration
As shown in Figure 1, use TFTP to download a software upgrade file from a TFTP server to upgrade the device.
Restrictions and guidelines
When you upgrade software, follow these restrictions and guidelines:
· Make sure the device has sufficient storage space for the upgrade file. If the device does not have sufficient storage space, delete unused files by using the delete /unreserved file-url command.
· Save the running configuration before the upgrade for the configuration to survive a reboot.
· If the device has two MPUs, you must upgrade both MPUs for the device to operate correctly.
Procedures
1. Configure the TFTP server:
# Assign the IP address 192.168.100.14/24 to the TFTP server. (Details not shown.)
# Start the TFTP server and specify a working directory. This example uses the 3CDaemon TFTP server. (Details not shown.)
Figure 2 Configuring the TFTP server
2. Upgrade the device:
# Assign an IP address to M-GigabitEthernet 0/0/0. Make sure the device can reach the TFTP server.

[Device-M-GigabitEthernet0/0/0] quit
[Device] quit
# Verify that the device can ping the TFTP server.

As shown in Figure 6, the device cannot start up.
Use TFTP to upgrade the device from the BootWare menu.
Restrictions and guidelines
When you upgrade software, make sure the device has sufficient storage space for the upgrade file. If the device does not have sufficient storage space, delete unused files by using the delete /unreserved file-url command.
Procedures
1. Configure the host:
# Use a console cable to connect console port 1 on the device to the configuration terminal. (Details not shown.)
# To access the device through the console port, you must run a terminal emulator program (HyperTerminal, PuTTY, or Tera Term) on the host. For information about using a terminal emulator program, see the program's user guide.
The following are the required terminal settings:
¡ Baud rate—9600.
¡ Data bits—8.
¡ Stop bits—1.
¡ Parity—none.
¡ Flow control—none.
2. Configure the TFTP server:
# Assign the IP address 192.168.100.14/24 to the TFTP server. (Details not shown.)
# Start the TFTP server and specify a working directory. This example uses the 3CDaemon TFTP server. (Details not shown.)
Figure 7 Configuring the TFTP server
3. Upgrade the device:
a. Upgrade the standby MPU:
# Use a straight-through Ethernet cable to connect the management Ethernet interface (M-GigabitEthernet 0/0/0) on the standby MPU to the TFTP server.
# Disable startup software version check for the standby MPU at startup.
<Device> system-view
[Device] version check ignore
# Save the running configuration.
[Device] save
The current configuration will be written to the device. Are you sure? [Y/N]:y
Please input the file name(*.cfg)[flash:/startup.cfg]
(To leave the existing filename unchanged, press the enter key):
flash:/startup.cfg exists, overwrite? [Y/N]:y
Validating file. Please wait...
Saved the current configuration to mainboard device successfully.
[Device] quit
# Reboot the standby MPU.
