1.1 Version Requirements Before Upgrade
Table 1-1 Version requirements before upgrade
Version Upgrade Instruction
S2700, S3700, S5700, S6700 This version can be directly upgraded to

V100R006C00SPC300 V100R006C00SPC800.
V100R006C00SPC500
V100R006C00SPC600
1.2 Impact of Patch Installation

Before you upgrade an earlier version to the V100R006C00SPC800, read this chapter
carefully to understand the possible impacts of the upgrade on the existing system.
1.3 Impact on the System During Installation
Impact on Services
The switch will restart during the upgrade and service will be interrupted.
Issue 01 (2011-09-30) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential 1

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):
z S2700: 30 minutes
z S3700: 37 minutes
z 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:
z S2700: 5.5 minutes

z S3700: 5.5 minutes
z S5700: 6 minutes
If the switches are upgraded by using the command line, the service interruption time is as
follows:
z S2700: 3 minutes
z S3700: 3 minutes
z S5700: 3 minutes
Impact on Network Communication

When the system restarts, the communication between the switch and the NMS is interrupted.
The communication interruption time is the same as the service interruption time.
1.3.1 Impact on the System After Installation

There is no adverse impact on the system.
1.4 Cautionary Notes Before the Upgrade

Consider the following cautionary points before performing the upgrade:

z The flash memory of the S3728/S3752/S2752 can store only one startup file; therefore,
delete the current startup file before performing the upgrade. (If there are remaining files
in the flash memory, delete them.)
z When you upgrade the software using the command line, stack upgrade, or USB flash
drive, do not copy or delete files.
z After the version is upgraded, ensure that the configuration is saved because a later
version is compatible with early versions but an early version is incompatible with later
versions. If the configuration is not saved, the configuration will be lost in the case of
version rollback.
z If the loopback local swap-mac or loopback remote swap-mac command has been
used on an interface in V100R006 to configure MAC swap loopback, run the start
command in the interface view after the upgrade; otherwise, the MAC swap loopback
configuration will be invalid.
z After the arp learning dhcp-trigger command is used on a VLANIF interface of the
DHCP relay agent in V100R006, dynamic ARP entries are generated only after DHCP
snooping in the corresponding VLAN or on the physical interface connected to users.

3.6 Backing Up the Key Data in the Flash Memory

You must back up the key data stored in the flash memory before the upgrade. You can
download the data that needs to be backed up to the PC through FTP or TFTP. After the
upgrade, you can reload the backup files to the flash memory. For details, see 4.1 Upgrading
the Switch to V100R006C00SPC800 Using the Command Line.
3.7 Checking the Flash Memory Space

1. Run the dir command in the user view to check whether the flash memory space is sufficient
for the system software. If a stack is established, ensure that all the members in the stack have
enough space.

The preceding information shows that there is 2,266 KB space. If there is enough space,
ignore step 2.

2. (Optional) Load and activate the patch file S27_37_57-V100R006SPH005.pat.
Before upgrading an S2752 or 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-s2700.cc file. For
details, see "Managing the File System" in the Quidway S2700/S3700/S5700/S6700 Series
Ethernet Switches Configuration Guide Basic Configurations.

Upgrade Guide 4 Upgrade Operations on a Single Switch
4 Upgrade Operations on a Single Switch
4.1 Upgrading the Switch to V100R006C00SPC800 Using

the Command Line
The command line upgrade method has little impact on services; therefore, you are advised to
upgrade an operating device by using the command line.
Purpose To upgrade the system software
Impact Services are interrupted when the device restarts.
Time In the scenario where a single device is configured and service

Required deployment is simple, services are interrupted about three minutes. In
the scenario where service deployment is complicated, the service
interruption time increases and the time depends on the complexity of
service.
Requirements z The switch that runs system software of an earlier version functions
properly.
z The available space in the flash memory is sufficient for storing the
system software.
z Before the S2752/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.
z The methods of upgrading the system software using command line are similar on the S2700, S3700,
S5700, and the S6700. In the following description, the system software of the S2700 is upgraded.
z The S5700/S6700 has a dedicated management interface, namely, MEth. The MEth interface can be
used as the Layer 3 interface.
z 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:

z Use the S2700 as the TFTP client.

z Use the S2700 as the FTP server.
z Use the S2700 as the FTP client.
Method 1: Use the S2700 as the TFTP Client
No TFTP client software is installed on the S2700; therefore, the customer needs to buy TFTP client
software and install it. The TFTP32 program is recommended.
1. Configure the TFTP server.
Run the TFTP server program on the PC and configure the PC:
z Click Browse to set the directory for storing the new system software.
z The TFTP server address in Server interface is automatically set by the system, for
example, 10.164.30.29. However, if the IP address is incorrect you can manually change
it.
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 S2700, S3700,
S5700 and the S6700. Here, the method for upgrading the system software on the S2700 is taken as an
example.
4.2.1 Upgrading the BootROM

Purpose To upgrade the BootROM
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 S2700 when the information "Update BOOTROM system"
is being displayed during the upgrade of the BootROM. Otherwise, the S2700 runs
abnormally. In this case, contact Huawei technical personnel.
You can restart or power off the S2700 only when the message "done!" is displayed.

The BootROM menu varies according to the version. Here, the BootROM of
V100R006C00SPC800 is taken as an example.
1. Use a serial cable to connect the serial interfaces on the PC and the S2700 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

S2700. In this case, you can upgrade the S2700 using the BootROM.
6. Enter the BootROM menu.
Before entering the BootROM menu, you need to restart the S2700. During the restart of the
S2700, the following information is displayed:

4.3 Upgrading the S5700-SI to V100R006C00SPC800 Using

the USB Flash Drive
4.3.1 Overview
If you do not have a PC in the on-site deployment, use the USB flash drive in which the
system software and configuration file are stored. The software commissioning engineer is not
required.
Only the S5700-SI and S6700 can be upgraded using the USB flash drive. Stacks do not support this
upgrade method.
The general process of the upgrade in the USB way is as follows:
a. Copy files.
When the S5700-SI is started successfully (the SYS indicator is in green and blinks at
0.5 Hz), the USB flash drive can be inserted to load files. The S5700-SI automatically
downloads the system software and configuration file according to the index file in the
USB flash drive.
b. Restart the switch.
The S5700-SI sets the system software and configuration file for next startup, and then
restarts automatically.
c. Verify the loading of files.
After restarting successfully (the SYS indicator is in green and blinks at 0.5 Hz), the
S5700-SI begins to verify the loaded files. When the SYS indicator is in orange and
blinks at 0.5 Hz, the upgrade is finished.

4.3.2 Upgrading the Software Using the USB Flash Drive
Preparations for Upgrade

1. Prepare the hardware.
z USB port: The S5700-SI provide USB 1.1; the S6700 provide USB 2.0.
z USB flash drive:
The USB flash drive delivered with Huawei switch is recommended because this USB
flash drive is compatible with the switch. The USB flash drive must be paid
independently. If you have not bought the USB flash drive, contact local Huawei office.
The USB flash drive must use the FAT32 format; otherwise, set the format to FAT32
before using it.
The space in the USB flash drive must be sufficient for the system software and
configuration file.
2. Prepare system software, configuration file, web file, and patch file.
3. Create the index file.
a. Create the file usbload_config.txt.

b. Fill in the file.
If you need to upgrade the system software, configuration file or patch file of V100R006, the
index file is in any of the following formats:
<sn=201105091219;/>
<mac=; vrpfile=; vrpver=; cfgfile=; webfile=; patchfile=;/>
<esn=; vrpfile=; vrpver=; cfgfile=; webfile=; patchfile=;/>
<boardtype=; vrpfile=; vrpver=; cfgfile=; webfile=; patchfile=;/>
z The first line in the index file must be the SN to prevent repeated copy. The SN consists of creation
date + time, for example, <sn=201105091219;/>. Before copying a file, the device compares the SNs.
If the SN of a file to be copied already exists, the device does not copy the file. After the file is
copied, the device stores the SN. The index files without SNs are considered invalid, and the device
will stop copying the files.
z If an index file contains the following three formats, the device uses the information in format (2). If
the required information is not obtained, the device uses the information in format (3) and then
format (1). When only one USB flash drive is used in the upgrade, the values of mac=, esn=, and
boardtype= are default. When the device obtains the value default, the device starts to copy the file
without comparing it with other files.
z When editing an index file, press Enter when a line is finished. After editing the file, save it.
z Select the upgrade files, including system software, configuration file, Web file, and patch file as
required.
z The upgrade procedures for S5700-SI, and S6700 are the same.
(1) To upgrade the same system software, configuration file, Web file, and patch file on
multiple devices, fill in the file in the format <boardtype=; vrpfile=; vrpver=; cfgfile=;
webfile=; patchfile=;/>.

To obtain the value of boardtype, view device labels or run the display version
command. boardtype=default indicates that all devices will be upgraded.
Fill in the system software name behind vrpfile=.
Fill in the version number behind vrpfile=.
Fill in the configuration file name behind cfgfile=.
Fill in the web file name behind webfile=.
Fill in the patch file name behind patchfile=.
The following are the index files of different devices:

<boardtype=S5728C-SI; vrpfile=S5700SI-V100R006C00SPC800.CC;
vrpver=V100R006C00SPC800; cfgfile=; webfile=; patchfile=;/>
<boardtype=S6748-EI; vrpfile=S6700-V100R006C00SPC800.CC; vrpver=V100R006C00SPC800;
cfgfile=; webfile=; patchfile=;/>
The following two formats are used for upgrading a single device:
(2) <mac=; vrpfile=; vrpver=; cfgfile=; webfile=; patchfile=;/>
View the device's MAC address on the chassis and fill in the MAC address behind
mac= in the format XXXX-XXXX-XXXX.
The following is an example of configuration file:

<mac=0018-8200-0001; vrpfile=; vrpver=; cfgfile=vrpcfg.cfg; webfile=; patchfile=;/>
The following is an example of patch file:

<mac=0018-8200-0002; vrpfile=; vrpver=; cfgfile=; webfile=; patchfile=patch.pat;/>
(3) <esn=; vrpfile=; vrpver=; cfgfile=; webfile=; patchfile=;/>
View the device's ESN and fill in the ESN behind esn=.
The following is an example of patch file:

<esn=020TEA10A9000016; vrpfile=; vrpver=; cfgfile=; webfile=; patchfile=patch.pat;/>

The following is an example of system software:

<esn=020TEA10A9000017; vrpfile=S5700SI-V100R006C00SPC800.CC;
vrpver=V100R006C00SPC800; cfgfile=vrpcfg.cfg; webfile=; patchfile=;/>
If a keyword is not found or matched, the value of this item is considered to be empty.
If the version number behind vrpver= is the same as the current version, the device will not
restart.
4. Copy the index file, system software, configuration file, Web file, and patch file to the root
directory of the USB flash drive.
The index files must be stored to the root directory on the USB flash drive; the other files are stored in
the corresponding directories.
z Do not power off the switch during file copy; otherwise, the upgrade fails or the switch
cannot start.
z Do not remove the USB flash drive before the upgrade is finished; otherwise, the USB
flash drive may be damaged.
Procedure
1. Power on the S5700-SI, and wait until the system completes the startup (you are advertised to
wait for two minutes).
2. Confirm that the system is operating stably (the SYS indicator is in green and blinks every
two seconds). If the system operating is unstable, wait or solve the issue.
z If the SYS indicator is on and in green or orange, the system startup is not finished. Wait
until the system starts successfully.
z If the SYS indicator is on and in red, the system is started but an error occurs. Fix the
problem before the next step. Check whether the power supply and the fan function
properly. If no, power off the S5700-SI, and then restart the S5700-SI. If the fault persists
(the indicator is on and in red), contact Huawei technical support personnel.
3. Insert the USB flash drive.
z If the SYS indicator is in green and blinks more than twice every second, the system is
copying the system software and configuration file from the USB flash drive.
z After copying the files, the system restarts.
z If the SYS indicator is in orange and blinks every two seconds after the restart, the
upgrade is successful. Now you can remove the USB flash drive.

If the SYS indicator is on or blinks in red, or blinks and is in read, an error occurs. Power off
the S5700-SI and power on it, and then insert the USB flash drive again. If the upgrade fails
three times, check whether the index file on the USB flash drive is correct, or contact the
Huawei technical support personnel.
NOTE
When using the USB flash drive for upgrade, change the SN in the USB flash drive.

Upgrade Guide 5 Upgrade Operations on a Stack
5 Upgrade Operations on a Stack
5.1 Upgrading All Stack Member Switches to

V100R006C00SPC800 by Using the Command Line
Impact Services are interrupted when the devices restart.
Time When a single device is upgraded and service deployment is simple,

Required services are interrupted about 3 minutes. When a stack is upgraded, the
service interruption time increases, and the time depends on the
complexity of services and the stack.
Prerequisites z The devices to be upgraded function properly.

z The methods of for upgrading the system software of the S3700, S5700 and the S6700 using the
command line interface are similar. Here, the S3700 is used as an example.
z The section describes only how to download the system software by using the S3700 as the FTP
server. For other methods of loading the system software, see the Quidway S3700/S5700/S6700
Series Ethernet Switches Configuration Guide - Basic Configurations.
z The S5700/S6700 provides a management interface MEth. You can use this interface as a Layer 3
interface.
z 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 V100R006C00SPC800, 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. Delete the current startup software package.

<Quidway> delete /unreserved flash:/S3752-V100R006C00.cc
Info:This is Next startup system software. If you delete it, there is no software to
reboot successfully!Confirm to delete the file? [Y/N]:y

..succeeded.
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.
[Quidway] ftp server enable

[Quidway] aaa
[Quidway-aaa] local-user ftpuser password simple ftppwd
[Quidway-aaa] local-user ftpuser service-type ftp
[Quidway-aaa] local-user ftpuser ftp-directory flash:
[Quidway-aaa] return
3. Configure an IP address for the switch.
Configure the IP address on an idle interface. Here, ethernet 0/0/1 is used as an example.
[Quidway]interface Ethernet 0/0/1
[Quidway-Ethernet0/0/1]port link-type access
[Quidway-Ethernet0/0/1]quit
[Quidway] vlan 10
[Quidway-vlan10] port ethernet 0/0/1
[Quidway-vlan10] quit
[Quidway] interface vlanif 10
[Quidway-Vlanif10] ip address 1.1.1.1 24
[Quidway-Vlanif10] quit
[Quidway]
4. Log in to the FTP server (the switch).
Assume that the Windows XP operating system is used.
Store the file to be uploaded in the specified directory (for example, D:\>directory). Choose
Start > Run. Enter cmd and press Enter. Enter FTP 1.1.1.1. Enter the user name at the user
prompt and the password at the password prompt, and then press Enter. The following
D:\>ftp 1.1.1.1
220 FTP service ready.
User (1.1.1.2:(none)): ftpuser
331 Password required for 1.

ftp>
5. Upload the system software to the switch.
Run the put source-filename [ destination-filename ] command on the FTP client to upload
the system software. After system software is uploaded to the switch, run the bye command to
close the FTP connection and return to the user view.
ftp> put D:\S3752-V100R006C00SPC800.CC
150 Opening BINARY mode data connection for S3752-V100R006C00SPC800.CC.

5.2 Using the Intelligent Upgrade Function
5.2.1 Overview
Intelligent upgrade is a function that automatically upgrades or rolls back the system software
of a new member switch to the version of the master switch.
A stack system is established only when all the following requirements are met:

z 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.
z All the member switches belong to the same series. That is, the EI series and SI series
cannot form a stack.
z All the member switches are connected by using stack cables and stack modules.
z All the member switches are working properly.
z 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.
5.2.2 Upgrading a New Member Switch Using the Intelligent

Upgrade Function
Preparations for Upgrade

Before upgrading a new member switch of a stack, ensure that:
z The new member switch and the current stack members belong to the same series.
z The new member switch is connected to other member switches by using stack cables
and stack modules.
z The stacking function is enabled on the new member switch. (This function is enabled by
default.)

z 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.
z 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:
On the master switch:

In Stack, device 0 load to new device 1 .......... start
In Stack, device 0 load to new device 1 .......... success
On the new member switch:

The Software Version is Low.Version is V100R006C00!
100% completed
In Stack, device 0 load flash:/S5700EI-V100R006C00SPC800.CC to new device 1(self) ...
Success
Starting upgrade BOOTROM .............. Pass
Device starting reset.
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
In Stack, device 0 load to new device 1 .......... fail
On the new member switch:

In Stack, upgrading from slot 4 to slot 0(self) .......... start
Info: Free space is not enough. Auto deleting <flash:/S3728-V100R006C00.cc> file ....

................................................................................
........................... success
100% completed
In Stack, device 4 load to new device 0 (self) ... Success
Upgrading BOOTROM .............. Pass
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
V100R006C00SPC800 Using the Command Line or 4.2 Upgrading the Switch to the
V100R006C00SPC800 Using the BootROM.

End

1. 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.
2. If you run the delete command to delete files stored in the flash memory before the device
is rolled back from V100R006SPC500 to V100R006, some space in the flash memory may be
unavailable. Run the dir command to view the unknown space and run the fixdisk command
to reclaim the space.
7.1.2 Loading the Previous System Software

The procedure for loading the previous system software package is the same as the procedure
for loading the system software for the upgrade. For details, see chapter 4 Upgrade Operations
on a Single Switch.
7.1.3 Performing Version Rollback

The version rollback method is the same as the version upgrade method. For details, see
chapter 4 Upgrade Operations on a Single Switch.
7.1.4 Verifying Version Rollback

The verification of version rollback is the same as the verification of version upgrade. For
details, see chapter 6 Verifying the Upgrade.
