5.2.2 Upgrading a New Member Switch Using the Intelligent Upgrade Function ........................................ 33
NOTE
The service interruption time depends on many factors, such as the system software size, upgrade
method, operator's skill, and service configurations. The following service interruption time is for your
reference.
In the following examples, the switches are not configured and they are not in any stack. In
addition, all these switches can provide the PoE function.
If the switches are upgraded by using the BootROM and the system software is uploaded
through the serial interface, the service interruption time is as follows (the baudrate is
115200):
S5700: 44 minutes
If the switches are upgraded by using the BootROM and the system software is uploaded
through the network port (FTP mode), the service interruption time is as follows:
S5700: 6 minutes
If the switches are upgraded by using the command line, the service interruption time is as
follows:
S5700: 3 minutes

NOTE
In the following chapters, the version is upgraded to V100R006C01SPC112.
In the following sections, the S5700EI is used as an example to describe the upgrade.
Figure 3-1 Network diagram of upgrading the system using TFTP or FTP
Before upgrading an S3700 to V100R006, delete the current startup file to free up the flash
memory space.
If no system software is stored on the device, do not restart or power cycle the device during
the upgrade. Otherwise, the system may break down. If the device is powered off
unexpectedly during the upgrade, use the BootROM to upgrade the device. If the upgrade
using BootROM fails, contact Huawei engineers.
3. Run the delete command to delete unnecessary files to ensure there is enough space for
storing relevant upgrade files. Before deleting the unnecessary files, ensure that the files are
backed up or are unwanted. The following is an example of deleting the s-s5700.cc file. For
details, see "Managing the File System" in the Quidway S3700/S5700 Series Ethernet
Switches Configuration Guide Basic Configurations.
After you run the delete /unreserved command to delete a file from the flash, the file cannot
be restored; therefore, run this command with caution, and a file backup is recommended.
----End
Before the S3700 is upgraded, you must delete the original startup file. For details on how to delete
the original startup file, see section 3.7 Checking the Flash Memory Space.
The methods of upgrading the system software using command line are similar on the S3700, and
the S5700. In the following description, the system software of the S5700EI is upgraded.
The S3700HI/S5700 has a dedicated management interface, namely, MEth. The MEth interface can
be used as the Layer 3 interface.
Before the upgrade, use the terminal monitor command to enable the terminal to display logs, traps,
and debugging information sent from the information center.
You can use any of the following methods to load the system software:
Use the S5700EI as the TFTP client.
Use the S5700EI as the FTP server.
Use the S5700EI as the FTP client.
No TFTP client software is installed on the S5700EI; therefore, the customer needs to buy TFTP client
software and install it. The TFTP32 program is recommended.
CAUTION
Do not stop the TFTP server program when you are backing up data.
2. Back up the system software, configuration file, and patch files to the TFTP server.
Before the backup, check the size of the configuration file. After the backup, compare the size
of the original file with the size of the backup file. Ensure that the two files are the same size.

The methods for upgrading the system software using the BootROM are similar on the S3700, and the
S5700. Here, the method for upgrading the system software on the S5700EI is taken as an example.
Impact Services are interrupted during the upgrade and the device reboot.
Time The upgrade takes about 100 seconds when the transmission rate of the
Required serial interface is 115200 bit/s.
Prerequisites After backing up the key data in the flash memory, you must run the
reboot command in the user view to restart the system.
Do not restart or power off the S5700EI when the information "Update BOOTROM
system" is being displayed during the upgrade of the BootROM. Otherwise, the S5700EI
runs abnormally. In this case, contact Huawei technical personnel.
You can restart or power off the S5700EI only when the message "done!" is displayed.
The BootROM menu varies according to the version. Here, the BootROM of
V100R006C01SPC112 is taken as an example.
1. Use a serial cable to connect the serial interfaces on the PC and the S5700EI and start the
HyperTerminal on the PC.
2. Enter the connection name and click OK.
3. Select the serial interface and click OK.
4. On the COM Properties page, click Restore Defaults. Then set the value of Bits per second
to 9600 and click OK.
5. If the prompt is displayed on the HyperTerminal, the HyperTerminal is connected to the
S5700EI. In this case, you can upgrade the S5700EI using the BootROM.
6. Enter the BootROM menu.
Before entering the BootROM menu, you need to restart the S5700EI. During the restart of
the S5700EI, the following information is displayed:
Press Ctrl+B to enter BOOTROM menu... 1
Press Ctrl+B before the countdown timer expires, and then enter the password. The default
password is huawei or www.huawei.com. Then the advanced BootROM menu is displayed.
The following information is displayed:
BOOTROM MENU
Changing the transmission rate of the serial interface causes interruption of the
communication between the PC and S5700EI. To restore the communication between the PC
and the S5700EI, you must set the transmission rate of the serial interface on the PC the same
as that of the serial interface on the S5700EI.
Select the transmission rate for the serial interface as required. The transmission rate is
expressed in bit/s. The default transmission rate of the serial interface on the S5700EI is 9600
bit/s. A greater value you enter represents a higher transmission rate of the serial interface. It
is recommended that you enter 5: 115200.
If you change the transmission rate of the serial interface on the S5700EI, set the transmission
rate of the serial interface on the PC the same as that of the serial interface on the S5700EI. In
this manner, you can restore the communication between the PC and the S5700EI.
For example, after you select 5: 115200, the following information is displayed:
BaudRate is 115200 bps. Please change the terminal's speed to 115200 bps
In this case, you need to perform the following settings on the HyperTerminal of the PC to
restore the communication between the PC and the S5700EI:
On the HyperTerminal, choose Call > Disconnect. The connection is closed
Choose File > Properties. The Properties dialog box is displayed.
On the Connect To tab page, click Configure. The COM Properties dialog box is
displayed.
In the Bits per second drop-down list, select 115200.
The BootROMs for products of various series are incompatible with each other. For example,
the BootROM of the S5700 cannot be used to upgrade the BootROM of the S3700; the
BootROM of the S3700 cannot be used to upgrade the BootROM of the S5700.
Choose Transfer > Send File. The Send File dialog box is displayed.
Click Browse. Then select the S5700EI_bootrom.bin file for upgrading the BootROM.
Select XMODEM from the Protocol drop-down list box. Click Send to start sending the file.
After the upgrade file is transferred, the following information is displayed:
XMODEM downloading ...CC download to SDRAM successfully
Warning: Don't Power-off or Reset the Device!!!
Update bootrom system ... done !
Then, the S5700EI automatically upgrades the BootROM by using the upgrade file. After the
upgrade, the S5700EI automatically returns to the BootROM menu.
10. After the BootROM is upgraded, restore the default rates of the serial interface and the
HyperTerminal, and then reestablish the connection.
Select 4. Return to main menu in the BootROM menu to return to the BootROM menu, and
then select 7. Reboot to reboot the BootROM.
----End
Impact Services are interrupted during the system software uploading and the
device reboot.
Time Required The software uploading time depends on many factors, such as the
system software size, transmission rate on the serial interface, and
operator's skill. When the transmission rate of the serial interface is
115200 bit/s, the uploading time is about 30 minutes.
Press Ctrl+B before the countdown timer expires, and then enter the password. The default
password is huawei. Then the advanced BootROM menu is displayed. The following
information is displayed:

Enter 7. Reboot on the advanced BootROM menu to restart the switch. Then, the S5700EI
restores the baud rate on the console interface to 9600 bit/s. The baud rate of the
HyperTerminal also needs to be set to 9600 bit/s. The PC then can communicate with the
S5700EI.
The methods of for upgrading the system software of the S3700EI, and the S5700 using the
command line interface are similar. The section describes only how to download the system software
by using the S5700 as the FTP server. For other methods of loading the system software, see the
Quidway S5700 Series Ethernet Switches Configuration Guide - Basic Configurations.
The S5700 provides a management interface MEth. You can use this interface as a Layer 3 interface.
To retain the roles of the master and slave devices after the upgrade, set priority of the master switch
to be the highest in the stack before the upgrade.
When an S3700 is upgraded to V100R006, you must delete the startup file because the flash
memory space is limited.
The following operations are performed on the master switch. Here, the stack contains two
member switches.
1. Check and ensure that all the member switches have sufficient available space in the flash
memory. For details, see section 3.7 "Checking the Flash Memory Space".
2. Configure the switch as the FTP server.
Start the FTP service on the switch, and set the FTP user name to ftpuser and password to
ftppwd.

After the software is upgraded to V100R006C01SPC112, you must specify the system software for next
startup. If the system software is not specified or the invalid software is specified, the device will fail to
restart. For details about specifying the system software for next startup, see step 5.
When the system asks you whether to save the configuration, enter y or n. After the setting is
complete, enter y to restart the system.

----End
All the member switches use the same software version. If the master switch detects a
different software version on the new member switch, it upgrades or rolls back the
software of the new member switch to the version of the stack.
The S3752 supports a maximum of eight switches in a stack system. The other S3700 models and the
S5700 support up to nine switches in a stack system.
The S3752 and S3728 cannot be added to the same stack system.
All the member switches belong to the same series. That is, the EI series and HI series
cannot form a stack.
All the member switches are connected by using stack cables and stack modules.
All the member switches are working properly.
The stacking function is enabled on all the member switches.
The stack processes version upgrade and rollback for new member switches in the same way.
If the flash memory of the new member switch does not have sufficient space to store the
startup software package, the switch automatically deletes a software package to free up
the space. If the switch is an S5700, it deletes a non-startup software package. If the switch
is an S3700, it deletes the current startup software package. If the available space in the
flash memory is still insufficient for the upgrade software, the switch restarts repeatedly. In
this case, upgrade the software of the switch to the version of the stack system manually,
and then add the switch to the stack. For the upgrade procedure, see chapter 4 Upgrade
Operations on a Single Switch.
During the upgrade, ensure that the stack cables are functioning properly. If the upgrade of
a switch fails, upgrade the system software of the switch to the version of the stack
manually, and then add the switch to the stack.
Upgrade Process
Start the new member switch.
The master switch of the stack automatically upgrades the new switch. If the upgrade is
successful, the following information will be displayed:
If the flash memory of the new member switch does not have sufficient space for the upgrade
software, the following information is displayed:
On the master switch:
In Stack, device 0 load to new device 1 .......... start
100% completed
In Stack, device 4 load to new device 0 (self) ... Success

Manually upgrade the system software of the switch to the version of the stack system, and
then add the switch to the stack system. For details, see sections 4.1 Upgrading the Switch to

When the S5700 V100R006C01SPC112 is rolled back to the S5700 V100R006, pay attention
to the following point:
Only the configuration file in cfg format can be used for rollback. Before performing
version rollback, check the format of the configuration file. If the configuration file is not
in cfg format, save it in the cfg format.
