1.2 Impact of Patch Installation

Before you upgrade an earlier version to the V200R003C00SPC300, read this chapter
carefully to understand the possible impacts of the upgrade on the existing system.

Ltd
1.3 Impact on the System During Installation

Impact on Services
The switch will restart during the upgrade and service will be interrupted.
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):
 S2750: 50 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:
If the switches are upgraded by using the command line, the service interruption time is as
follows:
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.

Consider the following cautionary points before performing the upgrade.

Ltd
No. Description
1 When you upgrade the software using the command line, stack upgrade, or USB
flash drive, do not copy or delete files.
2 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.
3 If the loopback local swap-mac or loopback remote swap-mac command has
been used on an interface in a version earlier than V200R003 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.
4 After the arp learning dhcp-trigger command is used on a VLANIF interface
of the DHCP relay agent in V200R003, dynamic ARP entries are generated only
after DHCP snooping in the corresponding VLAN or on the physical interface
connected to users.
5 After a switch is upgraded from a version earlier than V100R006C00 to
V200R003C00SPC300 with no configuration performed on the switch, some
previously disabled alarms are disabled. These alarms include basetrap, lldptrap,
dldp, and loop-detection.
6 After a switch is upgraded from V100R003 or an earlier version to
V200R003C00SPC300, the default setting of the dot1x handshake function
changes from enabled to disabled. After the upgrade, the dot1x handshake
configuration has no buildrun information.
7 After a switch is upgraded from V100R002 or an earlier version to
V200R003C00SPC300, the value range and default value of the interval
parameter in the mac-authen timer guest-vlan reauthenticate-period
command change. In the old version, the value range of the interval parameter is
1–3600 and the default value is 30 (seconds). In the new version, the value range
is 60–3600 and the default value is 60 (seconds). If the interval has been set to a
value in the range of 1–59 seconds, the interval changes to 60 seconds after the
upgrade.
8 After a switch is upgraded from an earlier version to V200R001 or a later
version, the default aging time of ACLs used for ARP Miss suppression changes
from 50 seconds to 5 seconds.
9 After a switch is upgraded from a version earlier than V200R001C01 to
V200R003C00SPC300, the default setting of the icmp rate-limit enable
command changes from enabled to disabled. After the upgrade, the command
has no buildrun information.
10 After a switch is upgraded from an earlier version to V200R001 or a later
version, the default setting of the set flow-statistics include-interframe
command changes. In earlier versions, the traffic statistics collected on an
Ethernet interface do not include the inter-frame gap by default. In
V200R003C00SPC300 the traffic statistics collected on an Ethernet interface
include the inter-frame gap by default.

Ltd
No. Description
11 If DAI is enabled on a VLAN and an interface belonging to the VLAN using the
arp anti-attack check user-bind enable command, V200R001 and later
versions use a different rule than that used in earlier versions to check ARP
packets. In earlier versions, an ARP packet is considered valid as long as the
packet passes the check on the interface. In V200R001 and later versions, an
ARP packet is considered valid only when the packet passes the check on the
interface and VLAN.
12 After the switch is upgraded from V200R001C01 to V200R003C00SPC300, the
configuration of the traffic rate statistics collection timer in traffic policies
cannot be restored and the timer value is reset to the default value 300s. In
V200R003C00SPC300, run the traffic statistics interval interval-time
command to set this timer.
13 No buildrun information is displayed after an interface is shut down by loopback
detection. You can use the display interface or display loopback-detect
command to check the status of this interface. An interface cannot automatically
go Up after it is shut down by loopback detection. To restore the interface
without disabling loopback detection on the interface, run the shutdown and
undo shutdown commands or the restart command on the interface.
14 After an S5700-LI or S5710EI switch is upgraded from V200R001C00 to
V200R003C00SPC300 or a later version, its file system will expand from 64
MB to 200 MB. If the system rolls back to V200R001C00, the BootROM will
not be updated. It is highly recommended that you back up important files before
a degrade and limit the size of the files within 61 MB (3 MB reserved for system
software). If the size of files exceeds 61 MB, the system backs up the files in the
following order and discards excess files:
1. Software package for next startup: Sys_StartupFlagRec_S.szCurSwtFile
2. Configuration file for next startup: Sys_StartupFlagRec_S.szCfgFile
3. Patch file for next startup: Sys_PatchUpdateFlagRec_S.szNextPatchFile
4. Patch state file: flash:/$_patchstate_reboot
5. flash:/ *.web.zip
6. flash:/private-data.txt
7. flash:/$_patch_history
8. flash:/serverkey (if any, used for SSH login)
9. flash:/hostkey (if any, used for SSH login)
10. flash:/resetinfo
11. flash:/syslogfile
The system displays "do not power off" during update of the file system. Do not
power off or restart the switch in this process. Otherwise, all data on the switch
will be lost. If the device is powered off due to incorrect operation or for other
reasons, upgrade the software to V200R003C00SPC300 through BootROM
according to section 4.2 or contact Huawei technical support engineers.
15 To upgrade an S5700LI or S5710EI switch using the BootROM menu, upgrade
the BootROM to the latest version, download the latest software package, and
specify the software package for the next startup using the BootROM menu. To
roll back the system version of an S5700LI or S5710EI switch, specify the old
software packet for next startup while retaining the latest BootROM version.

Ltd
No. Description
16 If a switch has no management interface, enter the BIOS menu and use the first
electrical interface to transfer the software package to the switch. Errors may
occur if you use other interfaces to transfer the software package.
17 If an 5700SI or 5700LI switch has been configured with the maximum number
of ACL CAR entries and inbound rate limiting before it is upgraded to
V200R003C00SPC300, the ACL CAR configuration may be lost after the
upgrade due to insufficient resources for ACL CAR entries.
18 After the system is upgraded to V002R002C00 or a later version, the default
temperature alarm threshold and value range will change. If the temperature
alarm threshold configured in the old version is out of the value range in the new
version, the threshold will change to the default value after the upgrade.
19 If the system version rolls back to an earlier version from V200R002C00 or a
later version, the stack configuration may be lost. When this occurs, the stack
cannot be set up. To set up a stack, reconfigure the stacking function and re-
connect stack cables if necessary.
For example, S5700-LI V200R002C00 adds to stack ports. If the two ports are
used for stacking, the stack cannot be set up after the system version rolls back to
an earlier version.
20 During BootROM update, the XMODEM protocol is transmitted at 128 bit/s. If
the size of a packet is not a multiple of 128 bits, the packet size increases. After
the stack reboots, configurations cannot be restored because the packet size
changes. It is recommended that you download the system software package
through FTP or TFTP.
21 V200R002C00C00SPC100 does not support HGMP. After the software is
upgraded to V200R002C00C00SPC100 or a later version, the HGMP
configuration will be lost.
22 V200R003C00SPC300 supports a maximum of 30000 commands. If more than
30000 commands are executed, some commands may become invalid after
software upgrade.
23 During software degrade, if the system displays "Info: After the system version
is changed successfully, it can only be changed to V200R002C00 or later in next
version change.", do not change the version to V200R001 or an earlier version.
If the system displays "Error: The system cannot be degraded to this version.
Please use V100R006 or a later version.", use V100R006 or a later version.
24 After the trap function is enabled or disabled on V100R006C00, the snmp-agent
trap enable basetrap command is not supported. After the system software is
upgraded to V100R006C00 or a later version, the configuration of the snmp-
agent trap enable basetrap command will be lost. The trap function is not
affected.
25 When the software version is degraded to be earlier than V200R002C00, the
BootROM is not automatically upgraded. After the version is degraded, it cannot
be upgraded again. The S5700EI is not limited by this rule. The software version
of S5700SI cannot be degraded from V200R002C00 to V100R006 or an earlier
version.

Ltd
No. Description
26 After the software version is degraded or upgraded to any version through the
USB flash drive, index file verification may be failed. A formal patch must be
installed to solve this problem.
27 Before upgrading or degrading V200R002C00C00SPC100 to any version
through the USB flash drive, check whether a password has been set on the
device using the set device usb-deployment password XXXXXX command. If a
password has been set, add <usb-deployment password=XXXXXX;/> to the
index file on the USB flash drive for password authentication. The password in
the index file is in plain text, and cannot contain semicolons because semicolons
are separators in the index file. Authentication can be successful only when the
password in the index file is the same as that on the device. If no password is set
on the device, the password or field can be filled in the index file or not.
28 If the BFD negotiation time set in V100R002 is shorter than 100
ms, the setting of BFD negotiation time is lost after the software
version is upgraded to V200R003.
29 After the software version is upgraded to V200R003C00SPC300,

the tunnel interface format is changed from Tunnel x/x/x to
Tunnel x.
30 In V200R001C01, the range of NQA server port numbers is

changed from 1-65535 to 7 and 1025-65535. Therefore, if the
NQA server port number has been set to 1-6 or 8-1024 before
the upgrade is performed, the configuration will be lost after the
upgrade.
31 After the software version is upgraded to V200R003C00SPC300, the BIOS

password set in the earlier version is still valid; however, it is recommended that
you change the password to ensure security.
32 After the software version is upgraded to V200R003C00SPC300, the local
account password set in the earlier version is still valid; however, it is
recommended that you change the password to ensure security.
33 If a physical stack port is not bound to a logical stack port before the upgrade,
the port restores to a service port after the version is upgraded to
V200R003C00SPC300.
34 After V200R003C00SPC300 is degraded to V200R001 or an earlier version, the
stack features on stack ports are disabled, and the stack ports must be
reconfigured.
35 The qos queue statistics enable command is deleted from
V200R003C00SPC300 and later versions. After the version is upgraded to
V200R003C00SPC300, the switch supports queue statistics by default.
36 After the version is upgraded to V200R003, if the packets discarded by IP source
guard match a traffic policy in which the action is mirroring, the traffic mirroring
function does not take effect on the packets.

Ltd
No. Description
37 After the software version is upgraded to V200R003, the default settings and
value ranges of rate limit on the management port are changed. If the rate limit
before the upgrade is beyond the value range allowed by V200R003, the rate
limit is changed to the maximum value in V200R003. If the rate limit before the
upgrade is the same as the default value in V200R003, the buildrun is deleted.
38 After the software version is upgraded to V200R003, the default settings and
value ranges of cp-car total pps packets are changed. If the rate limit before the
upgrade is beyond the value range allowed by V200R003, the rate limit is
changed to the maximum value in V200R003. If the rate limit before the upgrade
is the same as the default value in V200R003, the buildrun is deleted.
39 The software version is upgraded to V200R002 or a later version. If the ipv6
enable command has not been executed on the interface where dhcpv6 relay is
configured, the DHCPv6 relay configuration will be lost after the upgraded.
40 After the software version is upgraded to V200R001 or a later version, the local
user password may fail to restore. It is recommended that you upgrade the
software to V100R006 first, and then upgrade it to V200R001 or a later version.
Alternatively, you can delete the user account before the upgrade, reconfigure
and save the user account, and upgrade the software.
41 If the software already have patches installed, you do not need to delete the
patches before the upgrade. After the upgrade is complete, the original patches
are not activated.
Run the startup patch command to specify the patch for next startup before the
upgrade.
42 After the stack upgrade is complete, you only need to install the patch on the
master device.
43 The V200R003C00SPC300 does not support setting queue numbers for
protocol packets. After the software is upgraded to V200R003C00SPC300,
the configuration of queue packet-type packet-type queue-value is lost.
44 The V200R003C00SPC300 does not support limiting the number of packets

sent to the CPU within a certain period. After the software is upgraded to
V200R003C00SPC300, the configuration of cp-car { total | queue queue-
index } speed speed-value is lost.
45 The V200R003C00SPC300 does not support the function of setting the

maximum rate of sending packets to the CPU. After the software version is
upgraded to V200R003C00SPC300, the configuration of cp-car { total |
queue queue-index } speed speed-value is lost.
46 The Smart Link group in V200R003C00SP300 cannot communicate with the
Smart Link groups of earlier versions through SHA encryption. To enable the
Smart Link groups to communicate with each other, use non-encryption or
simple encryption mode.
47 After an earlier version is upgraded to V200R003C00SP300, the SHA
encryption password of the Smart Link saved in configuration file will be invalid
and needs to be reconfigured.

Ltd
No. Description
48 In a version earlier than V200R003C00SPC300, 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 V200R003C00SPC300. 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.
49 In V100R006 and later versions, GE ports do not support the automatic
downspeeding function. After the software is upgraded from an earlier
version to V100R006, the GE port may fail to perform auto-negotiation with the
PC. If this situation occurs, replace the network cable or run the auto speed { 10
| 100 } command to manually set the negotiation speed for the electrical port.

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 V200R003C00SPC300 Using the Command Line.
3.7 Checking the Flash Memory Space

Step 2 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 4,544 KB space. If there is enough space,
ignore step 3.

Step 3 (Optional) Load and activate the patch file s5700-v200r002sph001.pat.
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.
Step 4 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 S2750&S5700&S6700 Series Ethernet
Switches Configuration Guide – Basic Configurations.

Ltd
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.

S2750&S5700&S6700 Series Ethernet Switches Upgrade Operations on a Single SwitchUpgrade
Upgrade Guide Operations on a Single Switch
4 Upgrade Operations on a Single Switch
4.1 Upgrading the Switch to V200R003C00SPC300 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  The switch that runs system software of an earlier version functions
properly.
 The available space in the flash memory is sufficient for storing the
system software.
 The methods of upgrading the system software using command line are similar on the S2750,S5700,
and the S6700. In the following description, the system software of the S5700EI is upgraded.
 The S5700/S6700 has a dedicated management interface, 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.
 Use the S5700EI as the SFTP client

Ltd
FTP and TFTP are insecure. SFTP is recommended.
Method 1: Use the S5700EI as the TFTP 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.
Step 1 Configure the TFTP server.

Run the TFTP server program on the PC and configure the PC:
 Click Browse to set the directory for storing the new system software.
 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.
Step 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.

4.2 Upgrading the Switch to the V200R003C00SPC300

Using the BootROM
If the BootROM method is used, the services will be interrupted for a long time; therefore,
you are advised to upgrade an operating device by using the command line. If the device
cannot enter the command line mode, upgrade the device by using the BootROM.

The methods for upgrading the system software using the BootROM are similar on the S5700, and the
S6700. The S5700EI is used as an example to describe the upgrade procedure. In versions earlier than
V200R001C00SPC100, the default password of the BootROM menu is huawei or www.huawei.com.
4.2.1 Uploading the System Software

Uploading the System Software Through the Serial Interface
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.
Prerequisites  The matched BootROM is upgraded.
 The flash memory has enough space to store the system software.

Ltd
Step 1 Enter the BootROM menu.

When the S5700EI is starting, 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 Admin@huawei.com. Then the advanced BootROM menu is displayed. The
following information is displayed:
BOOTROM MENU
1. Boot with default mode

2. Enter serial submenu
3. Enter startup submenu
4. Enter ethernet submenu
5. Enter filesystem submenu
6. Modify BOOTROM password
7. Clear password for console user
8. Reboot
Enter your choice(1-8):
Step 2 Select 2. Enter serial submenu. The following information is displayed:

SERIAL SUBMENU
1. Update BOOTROM system
2. Download file to Flash through serial interface
3. Modify serial interface parameter
4. Return to main menu

Ltd
Step 3 Modify the parameters of the serial interface.
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.
The XMODEM protocol is transmitted at 128 bit/s. If the size of a packet is not a multiple of
128 bits, the packet size increases. After the stack reboots, configurations cannot be restored
because the packet size changes. It is recommended that you download the system software
package through FTP or TFTP.
Select 3. Modify serial interface boot parameter. The following information is displayed:
1: 9600(default)
2: 19200
3: 38400
4: 57600
5: 115200
Select an appropriate baud rate:

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 larger 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:
Baud rate 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.
 Select 115200bit/s from the Bits per second drop-down list box.
 In the COM Properties and Properties dialog boxes, click OK.
 On the HyperTerminal, choose Call > Call. The connection is reestablished.
Step 4 Upgrade the system software.
Select 2. Download file to Flash through serial interface in the serial interface submenu,
and the following information is displayed:

Ltd
Enter your choice(1-4): 2
Please Select File.

XMODEM downloading ...CC
Choose Transfer > Send File. The Send File dialog box is displayed.
Click Browse to select the upgrade file of the system software. Then select Xmodem from the
Protocol drop-down list box. Click Send to start sending the file.
After transferring the upgrade file, the system prompts you whether to change the file name. If
no, save it with the default file name. The default file name is not the uploaded file name. The
system software name in the flash memory or the default file name hw-switch.cc is used.
Generally, it is recommended that the file name be changed.
Only the files with the file name extension .cc can be used as the upgrade files of the system software on
the S5700EI.
If you need to name the upgrade file S5700EI-V200R003C00SPC300.cc, the following

4.2.3 Restarting the Switch

The switch is automatically upgraded by loading the latest system software during startup.
Enter 8. 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.
4.3 Upgrading the Switch to V200R003C00SPC300 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 S5700-28X-LI-24S-DC ,S5700-28X-LI-24S-AC, S5700-SI, S5700-HI, S5710EI 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:

1. Copy files.
When the switch 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 switch automatically
downloads the system software and configuration file according to the index file in the
USB flash drive.
2. Restart the switch.
The switch sets the system software and configuration file for next startup, and then
restarts automatically.
3. Verify the loading of files.
After restarting successfully (the SYS indicator is in green and blinks at 0.5 Hz), the
switch 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
Step 1 Prepare the hardware.
 USB port: The S5700-LI and S5700-SI provide USB 1.1; the S5710-EI, S5710HI,S5700-
HI and S6700 provide USB 2.0.

In the S5700LI and series, only the S5700-28X-LI-24S-DC and S5700-28X-LI-24S-AC

models support USB-based deployment.

Ltd
 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.
Step 2 Prepare system software, configuration file, web file, and patch file.
Step 3 Create the index file.
1. Create the file usbload_config.txt.
2. Fill in the file.
 When an S5700-SI is upgraded to V200R003C00SPC300, the index file is in either of
the following formats:
If an index file contains the following two formats, the S5700-SI uses the information in format (2). If
the required information is not obtained, the S5700-SI uses the information in format (1).
To write multiple items in the index file, press Enter when you finish each item.
(1) To upgrade the same system software and configuration file on multiple devices, fill in the
file in the format <boardtype=s53mv; vrpfile=; cfgfile=; patchfile=;/>.
− boardtype=s53mv is a fixed format, which does not need to be modified.
− Fill in the system software name behind vrpfile=.
− Fill in the configuration file name behind cfgfile=.
− Fill in the patch file name behind patchfile=.
Example:
<boardtype=s53mv; vrpfile=S5700SI-V200R003C00SPC300.cc; cfgfile=vrpcfg.cfg;
patchfile=patch.pat;/>
(2) To upgrade a single device, fill in the file in the format <mac=; vrpfile=; cfgfile=;
patchfile=;/>.
− View the MAC address of the switch on the chassis and fill in the MAC address
behind mac= in the format XXXX-XXXX-XXXX.
Example:
<mac=0018-8200-0001; vrpfile=S5700SI-V200R003C00SPC300.cc;
cfgfile=vrpcfg1.cfg; patchfile=patch1.pat;/>
<mac=0018-8200-0002; vrpfile=S5700SI-V200R003C00SPC300.cc;
cfgfile=vrpcfg2.cfg; patchfile=patch2.pat;/>
 If you need to upgrade the system software, configuration file or patch file of
V200R003C00SPC300, the index file is in any of the following formats:
<time-sn=201301090851;/>
<usb-deployment password=123abc;/>
<mac=; vrpfile=; vrpver=; cfgfile=; webfile=; patchfile=;/>

Ltd
<esn=; vrpfile=; vrpver=; cfgfile=; webfile=; patchfile=;/>

<boardtype=; vrpfile=; vrpver=; cfgfile=; webfile=; patchfile=;/>
 The first line in the index file must be the SN to prevent repeated copy. The SN consists of creation
date + time, for example, <time-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.
 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.
 When editing an index file, press Enter when a line is finished. After editing the file, save it.
 Select the upgrade files, including system software, configuration file, Web file, and patch file as
required.
 The upgrade procedures for S5700-LI, S5710-HI ,S5700-SI, S5700-HI , S5710EI 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 version number behind vrpfile=.
− Fill in the web file name behind webfile=.
The following are the index files of different devices:
<boardtype=S5700-HI; vrpfile=S5700HI-V200R003C00SPC300.cc;
vrpver=V200R003C00SPC300; cfgfile=; webfile=; patchfile=;/>
<boardtype=S6700-EI; vrpfile=S6700EI-V200R003C00SPC300.cc;
vrpver=V200R003C00SPC300; 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=;/>

Ltd
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=2102353169107C800132; vrpfile=; vrpver=; cfgfile=; webfile=;
patchfile=patch.pat;/>
The following is an example of system software:

<esn=2102353169107C800132; vrpfile=S5700HI-V200R003C00SPC300.cc;
vrpver=V200R003C00SPC300; 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.
Step 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.
 Do not power off the switch during file copy; otherwise, the upgrade fails or the switch
cannot start.
 Do not remove the USB flash drive before the upgrade is finished; otherwise, the USB
flash drive may be damaged.
----End
Procedure
Step 1 Power on the S5700-HI, and wait until the system completes the startup (you are advertised to
wait for two minutes).
Step 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.

Ltd
 If the SYS indicator is on and in green or orange, the system startup is not finished. Wait
until the system starts successfully.
 If the SYS indicator is steady on and blinks 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-HI, and then restart the S5700-HI. If the
fault persists (the indicator is on and in red), contact Huawei technical support personnel.
Step 3 Insert the USB flash drive.
 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.
 After copying the files, the system restarts.
 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 steady on or blinks red, an error occurs. Power off the S5700-HI 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.
When using the USB flash drive for upgrade, change the SN in the USB flash drive.
If you want to upgrade the software through USB flash drive upon a failure of USB-based upgrade, load
the files to the USB flash drive again.

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

V200R003C00SPC300 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  The devices to be upgraded function properly.
 The methods of for upgrading the system software of the S2750, S5700, and the S6700 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
S2750&S5700&S6700 Series Ethernet Switches Configuration Guide - Basic Configurations.
 The S5700&S6700 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.
The following operations are performed on the master switch. Here, the stack contains two
member switches.
Step 4 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."
Step 5 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
admin@123456.

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:
 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 S2750,S5700 and the S6700 support up to nine switches in a stack system.
 All the member switches belong to the same series. That is, the EI series and SI 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.
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:
 The new member switch and the current stack members belong to the same series.
 The new member switch is connected to other member switches by using stack cables
and stack modules.
 The stacking function is enabled on the new member switch. (This function is enabled by
default.)

Ltd
 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
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 4Upgrade 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.
 The running time of the newly added stack must be shorter than the running time of the
old stack; otherwise, the new stack software cannot be upgraded to the same version as the
old stack software through intelligent upgrade.
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 V200R003C00SPC300!

In Stack, device 0 load flash:/S5700EI-V200R003C00SPC300.cc to new device
1(self) ... Success

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:

Upgrade Guide Version RollbackVersion Rollback
2. If you run the delete command to delete files stored in the flash memory before the device
is rolled back from V200R003C00SPC300 to V100R005, 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.
3. If the configuration is not saved after the switch is upgraded to V200R003C00SPC300, the
system version can roll back directly. If the configuration is saved after the upgrade, the
switch faces risks of login failure or service interruption after the system version rolls back to
the old version. To prevent the risks, back up the configuration file before the upgrade.
Rename the configuration file and save it to the flash memory. During version rollback,
specify the old configuration file for the next startup
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 chapters 4Upgrade
Operations on a Single Switch or 5Upgrade Operations on a Stack.
7.1.3 Performing Version Rollback

The version rollback method is the same as the version upgrade method. For details, see
chapters 4Upgrade Operations on a Single Switch or 5Upgrade Operations on a Stack.
7.1.4 Verifying Version Rollback

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