Configuring Remote Upgrade (on a Distributed Switch)

Network Diagram

Figure 1-1 Network diagram for remote upgrade

 

Networking and Configuration Requirements

l          Device acts as an FTP client. The application aaa.app, including host software upgrading files and Boot ROM upgrading files, is saved under the aaa directory of the FTP Server.

l          The IP address of a VLAN interface on the device is 1.1.1.1/24; the IP address of the FTP Server is 2.2.2.2/24; the FTP server is reachable.

l          User has logged in to Device via Telnet and performs the following operations: download applications from the FTP Server, and realize remote upgrade using the command lines. Ensure that a route exists between User and Device.

Configuration Procedure

1)        Configuration on FTP Server (Note that the configurations may vary with different types of servers)

# Enable FTP Server.

<FTP-Server> system-view

[FTP-Server] ftp server enable

# Set the FTP username to aaa, and password to hello.

[FTP-Server] local-user aaa

[FTP-Server-luser-aaa] password cipher hello

# Configure the user to have access to the aaa directory.

[FTP-Server-luser-aaa] service-type ftp

[FTP-Server-luser-aaa] work-directory flash:/aaa

2)        Configuration on Device

# Input the following commands in user view, and log in to the FTP Server.

<Device> ftp 2.2.2.2

Trying 2.2.2.2 ...

Press CTRL+K to abort

Connected to 2.2.2.2.

[ftp]

# Download file aaa.app on FTP Server to the Flash of Device.

[ftp] get aaa.app

# Close the FTP connection, and return to user view.

[ftp] bye

<Device>

# Upgrade the Boot ROM file of the line processing unit (LPU) (suppose that the LPU resides in slot 2)

<Device> bootrom update file aaa.app slot 2

# Upgrade the Boot ROM file of the active main board (AMB).

<Device> bootrom update file aaa.app slot 0

# Specify the application program for the next boot on the AMB which resides in slot 0.

<Device> boot-loader file aaa.app slot 0 main

# If the AMB of Device operates in active-standby mode, you need to upgrade the program of the standby main board (SMB) as well. Specify the application program for the next boot on the SMB, and upgrade the Boot ROM file. Suppose that the SMB resides in slot 1, execute the following commands:

<Device> copy aaa.app slot1#flash:/

<Device> boot-loader file slot1#flash:/aaa.app slot 1 main

<Device> bootrom update file slot1#flash:/aaa.app slot 1

# Reboot Device. The application program is upgraded now.

<Device> reboot
