Networking Requirements Configuration Roadmap Procedure

Configuration File

Networking Requirements
As shown in Figure 1, the current system software cannot meet user needs. The user loads a
new software version with more features and upgrades device software remotely.

Configuration Roadmap
The configuration roadmap is as follows:

1. Upload the new system software to the root directory of the device.

2. Save the current configuration so that it remains active after upgrade.

3. Specify the system software for next startup.

4. Specify the configuration file for next startup.

5. Restart the device to complete upgrade.

Procedure
1. Upload the new system software to the root directory of the device.

# Before configuration, run the display startup command to view the files for next
startup.

<HUAWEI> display startup

MainBoard:
Configured startup system software: flash:/basicsoft.cc

# Upload the new system software to the device. This example uses FTP to transfer the
system software. Configure the device as an FTP server and upload the system
software to the device from the FTP client. Make sure there is enough space in the
storage device before uploading files. If the space is insufficient, delete unnecessary
files to free up space in the storage device.

The current configuration will be written to the device.
Are you sure to continue? [Y/N]y
Now saving the current configuration to the slot 0.
Info: Save the configuration successfully.

3. Specify the system software to be loaded for next startup.

<HUAWEI> startup system-software newbasicsoft.cc

4. Specify the configuration file for next startup.

<HUAWEI> startup saved-configuration vrpcfg.zip

In step 1, you can run the display startup command to check the
configuration file for next startup. The message "Next startup saved-
configuration file: flash:/vrpcfg.zip" will be displayed. This means that the
vrpcfg.zip configuration file has been specified for next startup, so skip this
step. To specify another file for next startup, perform this step.

5. Check the configuration.

Run the following command to view the system software and configuration file for
next startup.

<HUAWEI> display startup
