N Source Version Precaution

o.
1 - Back up the configuration file of the source version before

the upgrade, which is used for version rollback. If the
configuration file of the source version is not backed up,
version rollback may fail.
2 V200R003C00 to From the version of V200R008, before the upgrade, if the
V200R007C00 configuration file contains WLAN AC commands, you need
to download the eDesk to translate the configuration file. If
you do not use the eDesk to translate the configuration file,
the WLAN AC function becomes unavailable after the
upgrade. For details about the eDesk, see chapter 10

Appendix: eDesk Configuration Translation Guide.
3 V200R003C00 to When the eDesk is used to translate the configuration file of
V200R007C00 the AR that uses an earlier version of V200R008C20 and the
configuration file contains NAC commands (in uniform
mode) configured on an interface, ensure that NAC
authentication is enabled globally and on interfaces so that
all NAC commands can be translated successfully.
Otherwise, the NAC commands in the interface view will be
lost.
Voice
Table 1-2 Voice Precautions
No Description
.
1 When the AR where there is a customized voice package is upgraded to

V200R005C10SPC600, the voice package cannot be used. In this case, you need to
make a voice package again.
2 V200R005C10SPC300 adjusts the number of voice users supported by the AR:
 AR150: 25
 AR200：50
 AR1200: 100
 AR2204: 100
 AR2220: 250
 AR2240: 400
 AR3260: 500
If the AR is upgraded to V200R005C10SPC300 or later, ensure that the number of
users is within the limit supported by V200R005C10SPC300 or later. If the number
of users exceeds the limit supported by V200R005C10SPC300 or later, it is
recommended that the current version be used.
In V200R005C10SPC300 or later, the maximum number of concurrent users over an
IP trunk is as follows: AR200 series and AR1220: 256 (default value: 30), AR2220
and AR3260: 2000 (default value: 60).
If the maximum number of concurrent calls before the upgrade is smaller than or
equal to the default value, the maximum of concurrent calls is not affected after the
AR is upgraded to V200R005C10SPC300 or later.
If the maximum number of concurrent calls before the upgrade is larger than the
default value, the maximum of concurrent calls after the AR is upgraded to
V200R005C10SPC300 or later. If the actual maximum number of concurrent calls
exceeds the default value, run the maxcr maxcr-value command in the trunk group
view to change the maximum number of concurrent calls to be the same as the actual
one.

3 In V200R005C10SPC300 or later, the trunk group and prefix can be bound to a

maximum of 48 routes. If the trunk group and prefix are bound to more than 48
routes before the upgrade, it is recommended that the current version be used.
4 When the AR of V200R005C10SPC300 or later connects to two PBXs through
trunks, to ensure service security, calls received over a trunk cannot be forwarded
over another trunk. If calls received over a trunk need to be forwarded over another
trunk, add the call-out right for the call on the receive trunk.

Table 1-3 Others Precautions

No Description
.
1 If the current version is V200R001C00, upgrade from V200R001C00 to

V200R005C00 or later will fail. To upgrade V200R001C00 to V200R005C00 or
later, upgrade the version to V200R003C01 first. If the upgrade has failed, the
device may reboot repeatedly. In this situation, upgrade the software version to
V200R003C01 through BootROM, and then to V200R005C00 or later.
2 A device functions as a PPPoE server, and the version earlier than V200R005C10
needs to be upgraded to V200R005C10 or a later version. If the remote address
ip-address command has been executed on the virtual template interface bound to an
Ethernet physical interface, the users connected to the PPPoE server cannot obtain IP
addresses after the upgrade. To solve this problem, ensure that the remote address
pool pool-name is configured on the virtual template interface. In addition, run the
network ip-address [ mask { mask | mask-length } ] command in the address pool
view to ensure that the original addresses can be allocated. Then, run the ppp
authentication-mode { pap | chap } [ [ call-in ] domain domain-name ] command
on the virtual template interface to configure PPP authentication. Run the
authentication-mode none command in the authentication scheme view to set the
authentication mode to non-authentication so that users can easily access the PPPoE
server.
3 A device functions as a PPPoE server, and the version earlier than V200R005C10
needs to be upgraded to V200R005C10 or a later version. The virtual template is
bound to an Ethernet interface. If PPPoE server is enabled on the interface bound to
virtual template, the virtual template does not support network bridge, NAT,
multicast, QoS, application security, FW, IPS/IDS, URLF, BFD, VRRP, NQA,
IPSec, Efficient VPN, SSL VPN, GRE VPN, or SAC. If the preceding features have
been configured on the device and you want to keep these features, do not upgrade
the version or contact Huawei technical support personnel.
4 Before the upgrade, collect information about the routing table, FIB table, and MAC
address table, as well as device, interface, version, and configuration file
information.
After the upgrade, collect the same information again. Compare the before and after
information to check whether the device is operating properly and transmitting

AR100, AR120, AR150, AR160, AR200, AR1200,
AR2200, AR3200, and AR3600
No Description
.
service traffic properly.
5 Ensure that the system files including system software and configuration file are
stored in the flash memory or built-in SD card (sd1). Do not save the system files in
the USB flash drive or external SD card (sd0).
6 Except for the device restart steps described in this document, do not restart or
power off the switch, or reset, swap, power on, or power off any board during the
upgrade.
After the upgrade is complete, you can perform device reset, power-on, or power-off
only when verifying that services are recovered.
7 On the AR1200, AR2200, and AR3200, after the system software is upgraded, the
2FE and 1GEC cards do not support automatic BootROM loading. You must
manually run commands to upgrade the BootROM of the 2FE and 1GEC cards.
8 If you upgrade an AR version from V200R001 or V200R002 to
V200R003C00SPC100 or later, ensure that the version number in the configuration
file used for upgrade remains unchanged when the configuration file used for
upgrade contains a URL of 3322 information. Otherwise, the AR cannot
communicate with the DDNS server provided by the vendor at www.3322.org. If
you upgrade AR V200R003 (earlier than AR V200R003C00SPC100) to
V200R003C00SPC100 or later, replace commas (,) in the URL with question marks
(?) when the configuration file for upgrade contains a URL of 3322 or dyndns
information. Otherwise, the AR cannot communicate with the DDNS server
provided by the vendor at www.3322.org or www.dyndns.com.
9 During the upgrade, ensure that all configured cards work properly. Otherwise, the
configuration may fail.
10 The super command is deleted in V200R005C10SPC300 and later versions. If the
super password command that sets the password used to change a user from a lower
level to a higher level has been configured before the upgrade, the super command
can still be used.
11 V200R005C10SPC300 and later versions do not support the fixdisk command.
12 The AR is upgraded from an earlier version of V200R005C10SPC300 to
V200R005C10SPC300 or later. When the certificate is modified or updated and the
AR version is rolled back to an earlier version of V200R005C10SPC300, the
certificate may become unavailable or lost.
The AR version is rolled back from V200R005C10SPC300 or later to an earlier
version of V200R005C10SPC300. When the certificate is modified or updated and
the AR is upgraded to V200R005C10SPC300 or later, the certificate may become
unavailable or lost.
It is recommended that the certificate be backed up after the device software version
is upgraded or rolled back. When the certificate becomes unavailable or lost, you can
import the certificate again.
13 If the software version is upgraded from a version earlier than
V200R005C10SPC300 to V200R005C10SPC300 or later, the private key file of the
local certificate in the original version is loaded to the security zone but the private
key in the disk is not deleted. To improve security, it is recommended that the device

AR100, AR120, AR150, AR160, AR200, AR1200,
AR2200, AR3200, and AR3600
No Description
.
administrator should delete the private key file in the disk.
14 In V200R005C20SPC100 and later versions, you must run the engine enable
command in the system view so that you can configure IPS and URL filtering. If the
AR uses an earlier version of V200R005C20SPC100 and has IPS and URL filtering
configured, upgrading the AR to V200R005C20SPC100 or later will cause the IPS
and URL filtering configuration loss. Before the upgrade, back up the IPS and URL
filtering configuration. After the upgrade, run the engine enable command in the
system view, and then reconfigure IPS and URL filtering.
15 When the AR is upgraded from an earlier version of V200R005C00 to
V200R005C00 or later, software forwarding is enabled by default. To disable
software forwarding, run the undo ip soft-forward enhance enable command in the
system view.
16 When the device is upgraded from V200R005C20 to V200R006C10 or later, if batch
VLAN termination is configured, the configuration of batch VLAN termination will
be lost. Before the upgrade, back up the configuration of batch VLAN termination.
After the upgrade, run the termination-vid batch enable command on the
corresponding sub-interface to enable batch VLAN termination and restore the
configuration of batch VLAN termination.
17 When the AR is upgraded from an earlier version of V200R007C00 to
V200R007C00 or later and no license is available, SAC commands of the original
version can be delivered. However, SAC commands of the new version cannot be
delivered. As a result, the SAC configuration will be lost. Before the upgrade, install
the license or back up the SAC configuration.
18 When the AR160 series models are upgraded from V200R005 or an earlier version
of V200R005 to V200R006 or later, obtain different installation packages based on
models.
 V200R005 or an earlier version of V200R005: All AR160 series models use the
installation package AR160.cc.
 V200R006 or later: The AR161, AR161G-L, AR169, AR169G-L, AR161W, and
AR161FW use the installation package AR160.cc. The AR161F, AR161FG-L,
AR161FGW-L, AR162F, AR168F, AR169F, AR169BF, AR169FVW, and
AR169FGVW-L use the installation package AR160F.cc.
19 After the AR is upgraded to V200R008C20 or later, NAC commands are configured
using templates to facilitate understanding. There are wired and wireless NAC
functions. Wired NAC functions are compatible, whereas wireless NAC functions
need to be upgraded by using the eDesk to convert commands.
20 The CloudVPN plug-and-play function is available only when the device is
upgraded to V200R010C10SPC700.
21 When the AR is upgraded from an earlier version to V200R010C10SPC700 and
needs to connect to the Agile Controller, first run the pki delete-certificate ca realm
default and pki delete-certificate local realm default command to delete the
certificate of the default domain.
22 In versions earlier than V2R9C00SPC300, the Boot password in plain test is first
encrypted using the MD5 algorithm and then encrypted using the SHA256
algorithm. The password in cipher text then is stored in the flash memory. In

AR100, AR120, AR150, AR160, AR200, AR1200,
AR2200, AR3200, and AR3600
No Description
.
V2R9C00SPC300 and later versions, the Boot password in plain text is encrypted
using the MD5 algorithm, the SHA256 algorithm, and the PBKDF2 algorithm in
ascending order. The password in cipher text then is stored in the flash memory.
When the system software package of a device is upgraded, the password encrypted
using the SHA256 algorithm is further encrypted using the PBKDF2 algorithm, and
then is stored in the flash memory. In this case, the password is properly used. If the
system software package of a device is downgraded to a version that does not
support the PBKDF2 algorithm, the Boot password set by the customer will be
cleared and the default password is restored.
23 In V200R007 and earlier versions, you can run the pki credential-storage
<local-dir> command to configure the storage path. In V200R008 and later
versions, this command cannot be configured. During the upgrade, if the paths of the
old and new versions are different, the system automatically copies the file to the
new path and loads the file to the memory of the device.
24 In V200R007 and earlier versions, you can run the non-exportable command to
specify whether the RSA key pair can be exported and run the rsa-key-size <size>
command to configure the number of digits in the RSA key pair. After the AR is
upgrade to V200R008 or later, the two commands cannot be configured. The two
commands are equivalent to the exportable and modulus parameters in the pki rsa
local-key-pair create <key-name> [ modulus <modulus-size> ] [ exportable ]
command.
25 In V200R010 and later versions, the FTPv6 management packets generated by the
local device are forwarded using the enhanced forwarding function by default. The
QoS and ACL policies configured for the FTPv6 packets on the outbound interface
take effect by default.
26 IPv6 firewalls in the local domain are supported since V200R010. In versions earlier
than V200R010, IPv6 firewalls in the local domain can be configured but do not take
effect. They take effect only after the version is upgraded to V200R010 or a later
version.
27 For the AR169RW-P-M9:
After the upgrade is completed, run the delete /unreserved
flash:/m2mgateway/statiflowrate.txt command in the user view to delete the traffic
file. After the file is deleted, it must be restarted within 5 minutes.
After a version earlier than V200R010C00SPC200 is upgraded to
V200R010C00SPC200 or a later version, the traffic statistics will be reset to zero
and re-accumulated.
28 After a device running a version earlier than V200R008 is upgraded to V200R008 or
a later version, the source port number in RADIUS packets sent by the device
changes from 1812 or 1813 to a random value. If port policies are configured on the
firewall to permit only RADIUS packets with source port numbers 1812 and 1813,
RADIUS authentication fails after the device is upgraded to V200R008 or a later
version. In this case, you can modify the port policy of the firewall and set the source
port number of permitted RADIUS packets to any to ensure successful RADIUS
authentication.

1.4 Impact of the Upgrade

Before you upgrade the system software to V200R010C10SPC700, read this section carefully
to understand how the upgrade affects the system.
1.4.1 Impact on the System During the Upgrade

Impact on Services
The device needs to be restarted during the upgrade. Services are interrupted while the device
is restarting.
 A router without a configuration file will finish restarting within 4 minutes (services are
interrupted for about 7 minutes when the system software is upgraded by using the
BootROM menu).
 The restart time required by a configured router depends on the size of the configuration
file.
Impact on Network Communication

When the router is restarting, communication between the router and the network
management system (NMS) will be interrupted for about 4 minutes (communication will be

AR100, AR120, AR150, AR160, AR200, AR1200,
AR2200, AR3200, and AR3600
interrupted for about 7 minutes when the system software is upgraded by using the BootROM
menu).
1.4.2 Impact on the System After the Upgrade

Voice
AR100&AR120&AR150&AR160&AR200&AR1200&AR2200&AR3200 series support
voice features.
After the upgrade, run the display voice upgrade-info command in the diagnosis view to view the
upgrade log. The configuration change and loss during the upgrade are recorded in logs.
 In V200R005C10SPC300, voice commands have great changes. If the AR uses
V200R003 or an earlier version of V200R003 and has voice features configured,
upgrading the AR to V200R005C10SPC300 or later will greatly affect voice services on
the AR. Therefore, contact Huawei technical support engineers before the upgrade.
The AR of V200R005C10SPC300 and later versions does not support the following
voice features in the following table. If the AR of V200R003 and earlier versions
requires the following voice features, do not upgrade the AR to V200R005C10SPC300
or later.

Others
 V200R005C00 and later versions use new encryption mechanism. After the AR is
upgraded to V200R005C00 and later versions, you are advised to change the password to
a more secure password.
V200R005C00 and later versions use new encryption mechanism. If the version is rolled
back, the original version cannot identify the password configured in V200R005C00 and
later versions. As a result, the configuration becomes invalid. To ensure that the
password takes effect after rollback, during rollback, restore the password-relevant
configuration in the configuration file to the configuration before the upgrade or change
the password-relevant configuration in the configuration file to the configuration that can
be identified by the original version.
 In earlier versions of V200R005C00, the AR is enabled to send ICMP Unreachable
packets by default. In V200R005C00 and later versions, the AR is disabled from sending
ICMP Unreachable packets by default. After the AR is upgraded to V200R005C00, to
ensure that the AR as the detected target device to respond to Tracert request packets
from the source device, run the icmp port-unreachable send command to enable the
AR to send ICMP Unreachable packets.
 For the AR1200&AR2200&AR3200 series, ,in earlier versions of V200R005C00, if a
user name is configured in the MAC address format for MAC address authentication and
the AAA authentication scheme is local authentication, the online users are not affected
after the version is upgraded to V200R005C00 and later versions. However, for new
users, run mac-authen username macaddress format { with-hyphen |
without-hyphen } password cipher password to modify configuration and local-user
user-name password cipher password to reconfigure the accounts and passwords for old
users; otherwise, old users cannot go online again.
 After the AR is upgraded to V200R005C00SPC100, V200R005C01, or later, if the set
fan-speed command has been executed to set the fan speed, the fan speed configuration
is lost. In addition, automatic fan speed adjustment is used. After the upgrade, you can
run the set fan-speed command to set the fan speed, but the configuration file is no
longer generated. If the AR restarts after the fan speed is set, the set fan-speed command
does not take effect. In addition, automatic fan speed adjustment is used.
 When the AR is upgraded from a version earlier than V200R005C00SPC100 to
V200R005C00SPC100 or later in USB-based deployment mode, pay attention to the
following points:
a. If password authentication for USB-based deployment is used, the password
configuration will be lost after the upgrade. The PASSWORD field in the index file
of the USB flash drive becomes invalid. If the AR needs to be upgraded to
V200R005C00SPC100 or later in the scenario where password authentication for
USB-based deployment is used, perform operations according to chapter 5
Upgrading the System Software Using a USB Flash Drive.
b. If no-authentication for USB-based deployment is used, services are not affected.
When password authentication for USB-based deployment is used and the version
is rolled back from V200R005C00SPC100 or later to a version earlier than
V200R005C00SPC100, the password configuration will be lost after the version
rollback. If the version needs to be rolled back to a version earlier than
V200R005C00SPC100 in the scenario where password authentication for
USB-based deployment is used, perform operations according to chapter
"Upgrading the System Software Using a USB Flash Drive". For example, after the
version is rolled back from V200R005C00SPC100 to V200R003C01SPC900, if the
version needs to be rolled back to V200R003C01SPC300 in the scenario where
password authentication for USB-based deployment is used, perform operations

AR100, AR120, AR150, AR160, AR200, AR1200,
AR2200, AR3200, and AR3600
according to "Upgrading the System Software Using a USB Flash Drive" in the
V200R003C01SPC900 upgrade guide.
 After the version is upgraded to V200R005C10 or later, the calculation method used by
user CAR and user traffic statistics collection is changed. In the versions earlier than
V200R005C10, the packet length is Length of IP payload + Length of frame header +
Length of Preamble. In V200R005C10 and later versions, the packet length is the length
of IP payload.
 After the AR is upgraded from an earlier version of V200R007C00 to V200R007C00,
the query of the remote URL category server is unavailable and the configuration of the
query of the remote URL category server will be lost.
 For the AR3200 series, V200R005C10SPC300 and later versions support dual SRUs.
 After the AR1220 is upgraded to V200R008C20 or later, the logic file of the E3/T3 card
cannot be upgraded.
 After the AR169-P-M9&AR169W-P-M9&AR169RW-P-M9 is upgraded to
V200R008C20 or later, the kernel and rootfs of the OSP card cannot be upgraded.
 After the AR is upgraded to V200R010C10SPC700, the firewall active/standby function
becomes unavailable.
 V200R010C10SPC700 does not support SVPN. After the AR is upgraded to
V200R010C10SPC700, SVPN becomes unavailable. V200R007C00 is recommended.
 In versions earlier than V200R009C00, the http server permit interface command
takes precedence over the http acl command. When a user accesses the Web Platform,
the system preferentially compares the packet with the permit rule. If the packet does not
match the permit rule, it is discarded. In V200R009C00 and later versions, the http acl
command takes precedence over the http server permit interface command. When a
user accesses the Web Platform, the system preferentially compares the packet with the
ACL. If the packet does not match the ACL, it is discarded.
 If the device runs a V200R009C00SPC500 version and has a commercial patch of a
version earlier than V200R009C00SPH012 installed or has no commercial patch
installed, the 4GE-2S card is installed on the device, and interfaces of the 4GE-2S card
have been added to a VLAN, the device automatically delivers the set vlan-range slot
command and proactively restarts the 4GE-2S card after the version is upgraded to
V200R010C00SPC500. After the 4GE-2S card is restarted, you are advised to run the
save command again to save configurations. This ensures that VLAN services on the
4GE-2S card can run properly.
 When the NetStream sampling function is enabled after the version is upgraded from
V200R007 to the target version, run the mpls netstream { inbound | outbound } or
ip-mpls netstream { inbound | outbound } command on the interface to sample and
report MPLS packets to the NSC server. After either of the preceding commands is run,
packets with the template ID 1317 are reported to the NSC server.
 The AR2240, AR2240C, and AR3260 manufactured after June 30, 2020 must run
V200R010C00 or a later version and cannot be downgraded. If an AR3260 is equipped
with dual SRUs and either SRU is replaced with one manufactured after June 30, 2020,
both SRUs must run V200R010C00 or a later version.

3.6 (Optional) Preparing the License File

To use some features, apply for the licenses. For details, see License Usage Guide.
3.7 Using eDesk to Translate Configurations

If the AR to be upgraded runs a version in the range of V200R003C00 to V200R007C00 and
its configuration file contains WLAN AC commands, you must use the eDesk to translate the
configuration file before the upgrade. For details about the eDesk, see chapter 10 Appendix:
eDesk Configuration Translation Guide and 9 Emergency Recovery.
When the AR is restarted, the following information is displayed:
Info: The system is comparing the configuration, please wait.
Warning: All the configuration will be saved to the next startup configuration.
Continue? [y/n]:
If the configuration file for next startup is translated by the eDesk, enter n, that is, restart the
AR without saving the configuration. If you enter y, the current configuration will be written
into the configuration file for next startup. As a result, the translated configuration file is
invalid. For details, see section 4.4 Restarting the Device.
If you do not use the eDesk to translate the WLAN AC configuration, the original WLAN AC
configuration becomes unavailable after the upgrade.
3.8 Verifying Software Integrity

After obtaining the software in the preceding section, verify the software integrity. If the
integrity check is not passed, obtain the correct software. For the software obtaining
procedure, see 3.4 Obtaining Upgrade Software.
Do not load incorrect software to the device, which may compromise the device.
To prevent a software package from being maliciously tampered with during transmission or storage,
download the corresponding digital signature file for integrity verification when downloading the
software package.
After the software package is downloaded, verify its PGP digital signature according to the OpenPGP
Signature Verification Guide. If the software package fails the verification, do not use the software
package, and contact Huawei technical support engineers.
Before a software package is used in installation or upgrade, its digital signature also needs to be
verified according to the OpenPGP Signature Verification Guide to ensure that the software package is
not tampered with.
Visit either of the following websites to obtain the OpenPGP Signature Verification Guide:

TFTP server software. The TFTPD32 program is recommended.
Run the TFTP server program on the PC and configure the PC:
 Click Browse to set the Current Directory to the TFTP working directory.
 Set the TFTP server address in Server interface, for example, 10.164.30.29.
3.12.4 Scenario 4: Use the AR as the SFTP Client, Use the PC as

the SFTP Server
The device can function as the SFTP client or SFTP server. Here, the device functions as the SFTP client.
For details about the device used as the SFTP server, see section "Basic Configurations - File
Management" in Configuration Guide.
Huawei does not provide the SFTP server and client software; therefore, the customer needs to buy the
SFTP server and client software and install it.
Run an SFTP server program on the PC, for example, Core FTP mini-sftp-sever.

AR100, AR120, AR150, AR160, AR200, AR1200,
AR2200, AR3200, and AR3600
Click New User and set the user name and password. Here, the user name is 123 and the
password is 123. Enter the SFTP working directory in the Root path text box. Here, the
working directory is D:\ftp. Do not stop the SFTP server program during data transfer.
3.13 Backing Up the Key Data in the Flash/SD Memory

Ensure that the key data, including the patch files, configuration file, license file, and system
startup file of the current version, stored in the Flash/SD memory is backed up before
upgrade.
The backup method of license and patch files is the same as that of system software, and is not described
here.
AR161G-Lc is used as an example. The description that follows uses

AR160-V200R010C10SPC600.cc as current system software and iascfg.zip as the
configuration file. The default configuration file in V200R010C10SPC600 is vrpcfg.zip.
You can use any of the following methods to back up key data:
 Use the AR as the FTP server.
 Use the AR as the FTP client.
 Use the AR as the TFTP client.
 Use the AR as the SFTP client.
3.13.1 Method 1: Use the AR as the FTP Server

Step 1 Configure the AR as the FTP server. See section 3.12.1 Scenario 1: Use the AR as the FTP
Server.
Step 2 Back up the system software and configuration file.
Log in to the FTP server (AR) and use either of the following methods to back up files:

AR100, AR120, AR150, AR160, AR200, AR1200,
AR2200, AR3200, and AR3600
 Log in to the AR using any FTP client program and back up files to the FTP client.
In the Address box of the FTP client program, enter the IP address and the FTP root
directory of the AR, and copy the files from the FTP root directory to a directory on the
PC. Here, the directory on the PC is D:\ftp.
 Log in to the AR using the operation terminal, and back up files to the FTP client.
It is recommended that the upgrade program directory (FTP root directory) be used as
the login directory, for example, D:\ftp.
On Windows 7, perform the following operations to start the FTP program:
− Choose Start > Run.
− Enter cmd.
− Enter d:.
− Enter cd ftp to enter the FTP directory.
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator> d:

3.14 Checking the Space in the Flash/SD Memory

Step 1 Check the available space.
In the user view, run the dir command to check whether the Flash/SD memory has sufficient
available space for the new system software.
<Huawei> dir flash:/
0 -rw- 155,945,856 Sep 04 2019 10:15:18 AR160-V200R010C10SPC600.cc

AR100, AR120, AR150, AR160, AR200, AR1200,
AR2200, AR3200, and AR3600
If the free space is larger than the size of system software package of the target version, the
space is sufficient. Otherwise, perform step 2 to delete unnecessary files.
Step 2 Delete unnecessary files.
If the flash/SD memory does not have sufficient space for the new system software, delete
unnecessary files to free up space.
Before deleting the system software (with the file name extension .cc or .zip), configuration file (with
the file name extension .cfg or .zip), and license file (with the file name extension .dat), ensure that they
are not in use.
Run the following commands in the user view to delete unnecessary files from the flash/SD
memory.
Files deleted using the delete command are stored in the recycle bin. Files in the recycle bin
still occupy flash/SD memory space. To restore these files, run the undelete command. The
reset recycle-bin command permanently deletes all files currently in the recycle bin.
You can also run the delete/unreserved command to permanently delete all files without
placing them in the recycle bin. This command is equivalent to running the delete and reset
recycle-bin commands in sequence.
# Delete unnecessary files from the flash/SD memory.

<Huawei> delete flash:/iascfg1.zip
Info: Delete flash:/iascfg1.zip? [Y/N]:y

Back up the old configuration file before the upgrade, which will be used in rollback.
Otherwise, the rollback may fail.
Starting from V200R008, if the configuration file contains WLAN AC commands before the
upgrade, you must use the eDesk to translate the configuration file. If you do not use the
eDesk to translate the WLAN AC configuration, the original WLAN AC configuration
becomes unavailable after the upgrade. For details about the eDesk, see chapter 10 Appendix:

AR161FW-P-M5 do not support upgrade using the BootROM menu.

6.2 Procedure
This upgrade procedure is complicated and not recommended for use under normal
circumstances. Use this method when the system software will not start.
You can use the FTP or TFTP client mode through the BootROM software. The PC can use a
terminal emulation program such as the HyperTerminal of Windows 7 to communicate with

AR100, AR120, AR150, AR160, AR200, AR1200,
Upgrade Guide Menu
an AR through a serial port only. The PC must function as the FTP or TFTP server. Ensure
that the PC is directly connected to the management port of the AR to be upgraded and can
communicate on the same network segment.
The management port of the AR is as follows: AR150: Ethernet 0/0/3, AR200: Ethernet 0/0/6,
AR1200 and AR2220: GE0/0/0, AR2240&AR3200: GE0/0/2.
This section describes the AR161G-Lc upgrade process. You can upgrade other
AR150&AR160&AR200&AR1200&AR2200&AR3200 devices in the same way.
6.2 Procedure
Step 1 Run the FTP program on the operation terminal or PC and specify the path of the system
software. Create the FTP user AR and set the password of the FTP user to huawei@123.
The IP address of the configuration terminal or PC (IP address of the FTP server) and the IP address of
the management interface of the AR must be on the same network segment.
Step 2 Restart the AR.

When the AR is powered on, the operation terminal displays the following information:

Figure 7-1 Operating environment of the web system
The web service has been enabled by default. If the web service is not configured, you can use
the following methods:
Step 1 When new system software is uploaded on the AR, the system software contains the web
page file. After HTTP or HTTPS is enabled on the AR using the http server enable or http
secure-server enable command, the AR extracts web.zip from the system software to the
memory. You need to configure login through the console port and management interface's IP
address.
The AR uploads the web page file using FTP. You need to log in through the console port, set the
management interface's IP address, upload the web page file, and load the web page file.
Step 2 If HTTPS is enabled, when a user enters the HTTP request address in the address bar, the
HTTPS login page is displayed. After the user logs in successfully, the HTTPS access page is
displayed.
You must enable both HTTP and HTTPS. Otherwise, the system displays the message "The login page
cannot be accessed."
Step 3 HTTPS does not provide defense against DoS attacks. You can configure the firewall to
defend against DoS attacks. For details on how to configure the firewall, see Firewall
Configuration.
Step 4 After the http server enable command is used to enable the HTTP service, HTTP and
HTTPS are enabled. Therefore, you can use HTTPS to access the web system.
If the web system user is not configured, perform the following steps.
1. Run the system-view command to enter the system view.
2. Run the aaa command to enter the AAA view.
3. Run the local-user user-name password irreversible-cipher password command to set
the web user name and password.
4. Run the local-user user-name privilege level level command to set the user level.
5. Run the local-user user-name service-type http command to set the service type to
HTTP.
6. Run the quit command to return to the system view.
7. (Optional) Run the http timeout timeout command to set the timeout interval of HTTP
sessions.

AR100, AR120, AR150, AR160, AR200, AR1200,
AR2200, AR3200, and AR3600
By default, the timeout interval is 10 minutes.
The default user name is admin, the default password is Admin@huawei or admin, and the default
user level is 15. You can directly log in to the web system. After login, you are advised to change the
password and periodically update the password to ensure the security. Users at level 0 or users whose
user levels are not configured are not allowed to log in to the web system. User level 1 corresponds to a
common administrator; user level 2 corresponds to an enterprise administrator; user levels 3 to 15
correspond to a super administrator.

Upgrade Guide 9 Emergency Recovery
9 Emergency Recovery
When the AR161FW-P-M5 is being upgraded through the command line mode, USB flash
drive, and web NMS, if an upgrade exception occurs, perform the following operations to
restore the AR161FW-P-M5.
9.1 Preparing for the Emergency Recovery
9.2 Procedure
9.1 Preparing for the Emergency Recovery
AR161FW-P-M5 use dual systems:

The Android system of the AR161FW-P-M5 is upgraded.
9.1.1 Hardware
 USB port: The AR provides a USB 2.0 port.
 USB flash drive:
− To ensure compatibility between USB flash drives and devices, use
Huawei-certified USB flash drives to upgrade the Huawei devices. Netac U208 (4
GB) flash drive has passed Huawei certification. If you have not bought the USB
flash drive, contact local Huawei office.
− The USB flash drive must use the FAT32 format. Set the format to FAT32 before
using the drive.
− The USB flash drive must have sufficient space for the system software and
configuration file.

AR100, AR120, AR150, AR160, AR200, AR1200,
AR2200, AR3200, and AR3600
USB ports 0, 1, and 2, on the backplane of the AR161FW-P-M5 can identify the upgraded
USB flash drive. When the USB flash drive is used to upgrade the AR161FW-P-M5, GE0/0/5
must be configured with an IP address and OSP card (Android) must be dynamically assigned
an IP address so that the AR161FW-P-M5 and OSP card can exchange heartbeat packets.
9.1.2 Files to Be Loaded

The files include the upgrade file (mandatory).
You can download the upgrade file from Huawei enterprise business support website
http://support.huawei.com/enterprise and rename the upgrade file update.zip for the upgrade using a
USB flash drive.
9.1.3 Making the Configuration File

Make a configuration file to upgrade an AR161FW-P-M5 and name the file unlmt.cfg or
once.cfg. You do not need to focus on the contents of the configuration file. It is often
recommended to configure an empty text as the configuration file. The two configuration files
are as follows:
 unlmt.cfg: indicates unlimited upgrade. That is, each time a USB flash drive connects to
a device or the device starts with a USB flash drive, the device enters the upgrade
process as long as the USB flash drive has the configuration file unlmt.cfg and upgrade
file update.zip. After the device is upgraded successfully using unlmt.cfg, the device
does not start immediately until the USB flash drive is removed.
 once.cfg: indicates one upgrade. That is, the update file update.zip in a USB flash drive
is used only once. After the device is upgraded successfully using the configuration file
once.cfg, the device restarts.
9.1.4 Copying Files

Create the dload folder in the root directory of the USB flash drive and copy the
configuration file (unlmt.cfg or once.cfg) and upgrade file (update.zip) to be loaded to the
dload folder.
 Do not power off the AR while files are being copied. If the AR is powered off, the
upgrade will fail or the AR will be unable to restart.
 Do not remove the USB flash drive before the upgrade is completed. If the USB flash
drive is removed, it may be damaged.
9.2 Procedure
Connect the USB flash drive to the router. If the system detects that an upgrade file is stored
on the USB flash drive, the system starts upgrade.

AR100, AR120, AR150, AR160, AR200, AR1200,
AR2200, AR3200, and AR3600
Step 1 Connect the USB flash drive to the router. If the system detects that the update.zip file is
stored on the USB flash drive, the system immediately restarts.
Step 2 After the system is restarted, the system displays the progress bar. After the progress bar
reaches 100%, the file update.zip is loaded and the upgrade ends.

10.1 eDesk Configuration Translation Process

Figure 10-1 Configuration translation process
10.2 Precautions
1. The source configuration file must be a file exported from the switch without
modification.
2. The eDesk supports the configuration file formats of txt, cfg, and log, and UTF-8
encoding format is recommended.
3. The eDesk supports configuration translation and fast translation. The result of
configuration translation can be permanently stored in eDesk, and the converted
configuration file can be exported anytime. The result of fast translation is not stored in
eDesk. If you close the translation window without exporting the configuration file, the
result is lost.
The configuration translation mode is recommended.
4. When the eDesk is used to translate the configuration file of the AR that uses an earlier
version of V200R008 and the configuration file contains NAC commands (in uniform

AR100, AR120, AR150, AR160, AR200, AR1200,
AR2200, AR3200, and AR3600
mode) configured on an interface, ensure that NAC authentication is enabled globally

and on interfaces so that all NAC commands can be translated successfully. Otherwise,
the NAC commands in the interface view will be lost.
5. Starting from V200R008, the WLAN AC configuration changes. When the eDesk is
used to convert the configuration file of a version earlier than V200R008 and a security
profile of the WLAN AC contains multiple passwords, only the current effective
password exists after conversion and other passwords are removed. To reserve
ineffective passwords, record the passwords before conversion and manually configure
them on the device after the upgrade.
6. After the eDesk is used to convert the configuration file, you are advised to check the
converted configuration file before performing other operations.
7. In the configuration file of a version earlier than V200R008, if the Chinese SSID is
configured for the WLAN AC, ensure that the character set encoding is UTF-8. In
addition, the translated configuration file must be stored in UTF-8 format. If different
character set encoding is used, garbled characters may occur.
10.3 Downloading and Starting the eDesk

Step 1 Download and install the eDesk.
Visit
http://support.huawei.com/enterprise/toolNewInfoAction!toToolDetail?contentId=TL1000000
