Software upgrade commands
The WX1800H series, WX2500H series, and WX3000H series access controllers do not support parameters or commands that are available only in IRF mode.
As a best practice, store the startup images in the factory default file system. If you store the startup images in a hot swappable storage medium, do not remove the hot swappable storage medium during the startup process.
boot-loader file
Use boot-loader file to specify startup image files.
Syntax
In standalone mode:
boot-loader file boot filename system filename [ feature filename&<1-30> ] { backup | main }
boot-loader file ipe-filename { backup | main }
In IRF mode:
boot-loader file boot filename system filename [ feature filename&<1-30> ] { all | slot slot-number } { backup | main }
boot-loader file ipe-filename { all | slot slot-number } { backup | main }

Parameters
boot: Specifies a boot image file.
system: Specifies a system image file.
feature: Specifies a space-separated list of up to 30 feature image files.
filename: Specifies a .bin file in the filesystemname/filename.bin format. The file must be stored in the root directory of a file system on the device. Excluding the file system location section (if any), the value string can have a maximum of 63 characters. For more information about specifying a file, see file system management in Fundamentals Configuration Guide.
ipe-filename: Specifies an .ipe image package file in the filesystemname/filename.ipe format. The file must be stored in the root directory of a file system on the device. Excluding the file system location section (if any), the value string can have a maximum of 63 characters. For more information about specifying a file, see file system management in Fundamentals Configuration Guide.
all: Specifies all hardware components to which the specified images apply.
slot slot-number: Specifies the IRF member ID of a member device. (In IRF mode.)
backup: Specifies the files as backup startup image files. Backup images are used only when main images are not available.
main: Specifies the files as main startup image files. The device always first attempts to start up with main startup files.
Usage guidelines
The boot-loader file command overwrites the entire startup image list. To add new startup feature images, specify all feature image files in the old startup image list, including feature image files. The new startup image list will contain only the feature image files that are specified in the command.
To load the specified startup software images, you must reboot the system.
If the upgrade images are not found in the file system on the slot specified to upgrade, the system automatically copies the images to that file system. The destination directory is the root directory of the file system. If the destination root directory already contains a startup image with the same name as an upgrade image, you must choose whether to overwrite the image.

Parameters
all: Synchronizes startup images from the master to all subordinate devices.
slot slot-number: Specifies the IRF member ID of a subordinate device.
Usage guidelines
You can use this command to synchronize startup images after adding new member devices.
The startup images synchronized to the subordinate device are set as main startup images, regardless of whether the source startup images are main or backup.
· If the master device has started up with main startup images, its main startup images are synchronized to the subordinate device, regardless of whether any main startup image has been respecified on the master device.
· If the master device has started up with backup startup images, its backup startup images are synchronized to the subordinate device, regardless of whether any backup startup image has been respecified on the master device.
Startup image synchronization fails if any software image being synchronized is not available or is corrupted.
Examples
# Synchronize startup images from the active MPU to the standby MPU in slot 1.
<Sysname> boot-loader update slot 2
This command will update all the standby MPU. Please do not reboot any MPU during the upgrade. Continue? [Y/N]:y

bootrom backup
Use bootrom backup to back up the BootWare image in the Normal area to the Backup area on a BootWare.
Syntax
In standalone mode:
bootrom backup [ all | part ]
In IRF mode:
bootrom backup slot slot-number-list [ all | part ]

Predefined user roles
network-admin
Parameters
slot slot-number-list: Specifies a space-separated list of up to seven slot number items. An item specifies an IRF member device by its member ID or a range of IRF member devices in the form of start-slot-number to end-slot-number. The end slot number must be equal to or greater than the start slot number. (In IRF mode.)
all: Backs up the entire BootWare image, including the basic segment and the extended segment. If you do not specify the all or part keyword, this command backs up the entire BootWare image.
part: Backs up the extended BootWare image section.
Usage guidelines
A BootWare is divided into a Normal area and a Backup area. The BootWare image is stored in the Normal area and backed up to the Backup area. At startup, the system reads the BootWare image automatically from the Normal area. If the image is inaccessible, the system reads the BootWare image from the Backup area.
If the BootWare image in the Normal area is corrupted or requires a version rollback, use the bootrom restore command to copy the BootWare image in the Backup area to the Normal area.
Examples
# Back up the entire BootWare image from the Normal area to the Backup area.
<Sysname> bootrom backup slot 1
Now backing up the Boot ROM, please wait...
......Done.

Parameters
slot slot-number-list: Specifies a space-separated list of up to seven slot number items. An item specifies an IRF member device by its member ID or a range of IRF member devices in the form of start-slot-number to end-slot-number. The end slot number must be equal to or greater than the start slot number. (In IRF mode.)
all: Backs up the entire BootWare image, including the basic segment and the extended segment. If you do not specify the all or part keyword, this command backs up the entire BootWare image.
part: Backs up the extended BootWare image section.
Usage guidelines
For each BootWare image you are backing up, this command creates two files (basicbtm.bin and extendbtm.bin) in the flash memory for the basic segment and the extended segment. If the BootWare image in the Normal area of a BootWare is corrupted or requires a version rollback, use the bootrom update command to read the two backup files from the flash memory to the BootWare.
Examples
# Back up the BootWare image from the Normal area of BootWare to the flash memory.
<Sysname> bootrom read slot 1
Now reading the Boot ROM, please wait...
.........Done.

Parameters
file file: Specifies the file that contains the BootWare image. The file argument represents the file name, a string of 1 to 63 characters.
slot slot-number-list: Specifies a space-separated list of up to seven slot number items. An item specifies an IRF member device by its member ID or a range of IRF member devices in the form of start-slot-number to end-slot-number. The end slot number must be equal to or greater than the start slot number. (In IRF mode.)
all: Loads the entire BootWare image, including the basic segment and the extended segment. If you do not specify the all or part keyword, this command restores the entire BootWare image.
part: Loads the extended BootWare image section.
Usage guidelines
BootWare images are contained in the .bin Comware boot image file. You can specify a Comware boot image file in this command to upgrade the BootWares in the system before you upgrade the Comware images. If you do not upgrade BootWares before upgrading Comware images, the system automatically upgrades BootWares as necessary when loading Comware images.
The new BootWare images take effect after you reboot the device.
Examples
# (In standalone mode.) Use the file a.bin in the root directory of the flash memory to upgrade the BootWare image.
<Sysname> bootrom update file flash:/a.bin
This command will update the Boot ROM file, Continue? [Y/N]:y
