The BootWare program comprises one basic segment and one extended segment. The basic segment enables the system to complete basic initialization, and the extended segment bootstraps the system software image.

Table 1 lists the menus that each segment provides and the major tasks you can perform from these menus. You can access these menus only during system startup.

Table 1 BootWare menus

BootWare segment	Menu	Tasks	Reference
Basic	BASIC-BOOTWARE	· Modify serial port parameters. · Upgrade BootWare. · Start the primary or backup BootWare extended segment.	Using the BASIC-BOOTWARE menu
Extended	EXTEND-BOOTWARE	· Upgrade system software. · Manage files. · Set the system operating mode to IRF or standalone.	Using the EXTEND-BOOTWARE menu
Extended	EXTEND-ASSISTANT	· Examine system memory. · Search system memory. · Display CF card information.	Using the EXTEND-ASSISTANT menu

Restrictions and guidelines

If you are upgrading software on an MPU from its BootWare menus, make sure you have one connection to its console port and one connection to its management port.

While you are using the BootWare menus of an MPU, do not remove or insert the CF card on the MPU.

Availability of some menu options vary with the password recovery capability setting.

Using the BASIC-BOOTWARE menu

To access the BASIC-BOOTWARE menu:

1. Power on the device.

DDR2 SDRAM test successful.

Press Ctrl+T to start five-step full RAM test...

Press Ctrl+Y to start nine-step full RAM test...

System is starting...

Press Ctrl+D to access BASIC-BOOTWARE MENU

2. Press Ctrl + D within 3 seconds after the "Press Ctrl+D to access BASIC-BOOTWARE MENU" prompt message appears. If you fail to do this within the time limit, the system starts to run the extended BootWare segment.

Table 2 BASIC-BOOTWARE menu options

Option	Task
<1> Modify Serial Interface Parameter	Change the baud rate of the console port.
<2> Update Extend BootWare	Update the extended BootWare segment. If the extended segment has corrupted, choose this option to repair it.
<3> Update Full BootWare	Update the entire BootWare, including the basic segment and the extended segment.
<4> Boot Extend BootWare	Run the primary extended BootWare segment.
<5> Boot Backup Extend BootWare	Run the backup extended BootWare segment.
<0> Reboot	Reboot the device.

Modifying serial port parameters

When using the console port to access the system, make sure the port parameters are consistent with the serial port settings on the configuration terminal, including the baud rate, data bits, parity check, stop bits, flow control, and emulation. If the settings are inconsistent, communication will fail. For more information, see login management configuration in Fundamentals Configuration Guide.

With BootWare, you can change the baud rate. H3C recommends that you change the default baud rate (9600 bps) to a higher baud rate for faster file transfer before downloading a software image file with XMODEM through the console port.

To change the baud rate of the console port:

1. Enter 1 in the BASIC-BOOTWARE menu.

Enter your choice(0-5): 1

===============================<BAUDRATE SET>===============================

|Note:'*'indicates the current baudrate |

| Change The HyperTerminal's Baudrate Accordingly |

|---------------------------<Baudrate Available>---------------------------|

|<1> 9600(Default)* |

|<2> 19200 |

|<3> 38400 |

|<4> 57600 |

|<5> 115200 |

|<0> Exit |

============================================================================

Enter your choice(0-5):

2. Enter the number that represents the baud rate you want to choose. For example, enter 5 to set the baud rate to 115200 bps.

NOTE:

The baud rate change is a one-time operation. The baud rate will restore to the default (9600 bps) at reboot. To set up a console session with the device after a reboot, you must change the baud rate setting on the configuration terminal to 9600 bps.

Updating the extended BootWare segment

If the extended BootWare segment has been corrupted, enter 2 in the BASIC-BOOTWARE menu to update it.

Changing the file attribute of a system software image

System software image file attributes include main (M), backup (B), and secure (S). The S attribute is not supported in the current release.

A system software image can have any combination of the M and B attributes. An image with neither the M attribute nor the B attribute is marked as N/A.

On an MPU, you can specify only one main image and one backup image. If you assign the same attribute to two images that are the same type, the most recent assignment causes the previously assigned attribute to be removed.

For example, the boot image file main.bin has the M attribute and the boot image file update.bin has the B attribute. If you assign the M attribute to update.bin, update.bin will have both the M and B attributes (M+B), and the file attribute of main.bin will change to N/A.

To change the type of a system software image:

1. Enter 2 in the File Control submenu.

Disabling password recovery capability

Password recovery capability controls console user access to the device configuration and SDRAM from BootWare menus. This feature also determines the method for dealing with console login password loss (see Figure 1).

If password recovery capability is enabled, a console user can access the device configuration without authentication to configure new passwords.

If password recovery capability is disabled, console users must restore the factory-default configuration before they can configure new passwords. Restoring the factory-default configuration deletes the next-startup configuration files.

To enhance system security, disable password recovery capability.

Figure 1 Dealing with console login password loss

Table 15 summarizes options whose availability varies with the password recovery capability setting.

Table 15 BootWare options and password recovery capability compatibility matrix

BootWare menu option	Password recovery enabled	Password recovery disabled	Tasks that can be performed
Download Application Program To SDRAM And Run	Yes	No	Load and run the system software image in SDRAM.
Update User Private File	Yes	No	Download a file to the current storage medium.
Clear Super Password	Yes	No	Clear the console login password to allow console login without authentication. This is a one-time operation and takes effect only for the first system boot or reboot after you choose this option.
Modify Chassis ID Operation	Yes	No	Switch between IRF mode and standalone mode and change the member ID of the device. For more information about IRF, see IRF Configuration Guide.
Skip Current System Configuration	Yes	No	Load the factory-default configuration without deleting the next-startup configuration file. This is a one-time operation and takes effect only for the first system boot or reboot after you perform the operation.
Restore to Factory Default Configuration	No	Yes	Delete the next-startup configuration file and load the factory-default configuration.

To disable password recovery capability:

Step	Command	Remarks
1. Enter system view.	system-view	N/A
2. Disable password recovery capability.	undo password-recovery enable	Enabled by default.

When password recovery capability is disabled, you cannot downgrade the software configuration of the device to a version that does not support the capability through the BootWare menus. You can do so at the CLI, but the BootWare menu password configured becomes effective again.

BootWare upgrade example

You can use one of the following methods to upgrade the BootWare:

· Use the Serial submenu to load and run a system software image and upgrade the BootWare.

· Use the Ethernet submenu to load and run a system software image and upgrade the BootWare.

· Use the BootWare Operation menu to upgrade the BootWare from the console port.

· Use the BootWare Operation menu to upgrade the BootWare from the Ethernet port.

· At the CLI, use the boot-loader file command to load and run a system software image and upgrade the BootWare.

· At the CLI, use the bootrom update file command to directly upgrade the BootWare.

Among these methods, only the two methods using the BootWare Operation menu upgrade the entire BootWare. All other methods upgrade only the extended BootWare segment. This example describes how to use the BootWare Operation menu to upgrade the BootWare from the Ethernet port.
