Software upgrade configuration examples
This document provides software upgrade examples. In this document, examples of upgrading software
from the CLI use the non-ISSU method.
Upgrading software from the CLI
Example: Using the device as a TFTP client to upgrade
software
Network requirements
As shown in Figure 1, use TFTP to download a software upgrade file from a TFTP server to upgrade the
device.
Figure 1 Network diagram
Software version used
This configuration example was created and verified on S12500-CMW710-R7328P02.
Configuration 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 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.
Configuration 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.)

2. Upgrade the device:
# Assign an IP address to M-GigabitEthernet 0/0/0. Make sure the device can reach the TFTP
server.

Example: Using the device as an FTP server to upgrade
software
Network requirements
As shown in Figure 5:

•Enable the FTP server on the router.
•Use FTP to upload a software upgrade file from an FTP client to upgrade the device.
Figure 5 Network diagram
Software version used
This configuration example was created and verified on S12500-CMW710-R7328P02.
Requirements analysis
When you use the device as an FTP server, you must create a local user account on the device to
provide FTP service.
Configuration 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 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.
•You must set the file transfer mode to binary.

Configuration 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.
•Connect the device to the TFTP server through the management Ethernet interface
M-GigabitEthernet 0/0/0.
Configuration procedures
1. Configure the host:

# Use a console cable to connect the console port on the standby MPU to the host. (Details not
shown.)
# Run the HyperTerminal, and then create a connection.
Figure 7 Creating a connection
# In the Connect To dialog box, select COM1 for Connect Using, and then click OK.
Figure 8 Connect To dialog box
# Click Restore Defaults, and then click OK.

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.)
