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.

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.

software
Network requirements
As shown in Figure 6, upgrade software from the BootWare menu. Download software images from a
TFTP server.
Figure 6 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.
• 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.)

3. Upgrade the device:
a. Upgrade software on 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.
