Custom Firmware Installation
A custom firmware installation downloads the firmware image file
from an FTP or TFTP server to the interface card, unpacks the
image file, and resets the interface card in separate steps. This
allows you to choose the type of reset and whether the activation
will be disruptive (Reset Switch command) or non-disruptive
(Hotreset command). The following example illustrates a custom
firmware installation with a non-disruptive activation.
1. Download the firmware image file from the workstation to the
interface card.
• If your workstation has an FTP server, you can enter the
Image Fetch command:
H3C (admin) #> image fetch account_name ip_address
filename
• If your workstation has a TFTP server, you can enter the
Image TFTP command to download the firmware image file.
H3C (admin) #> image tftp ip_address filename
• If your workstation has neither an FTP nor a TFTP server,
open an FTP session and enter FTP commands:
>ftp ip_address or switchname
user:images
password: images
ftp>bin
ftp>put filename
ftp>quit
2. Display the list of firmware image files on the interface card to
confirm that the file was loaded.
H3C (admin) $>image list
3. Unpack the firmware image file to install the new firmware in
flash memory.
H3C (admin) $>image unpack filename
