NOTE:

• The BootWare program is automatically upgraded when applications are upgraded,

that is, you do not need to upgrade the BootWare program separately.

• The file name, size, and path in the above figures may vary. Check the current

BootWare and application versions before upgrading them.

• If you upgraded the extended segment, you only upgrade part of the BootWare

program. Once an error occurs, you can start the BootWare upgrade process again

Upgrading applications using TFTP

When application files are large, you can upgrade them using the Trivial File Transfer

Protocol (TFTP) to greatly shorten the upgrade and maintenance time.

TFTP, a protocol in the TCP/IP suite, is used for trivial file transfer between client and server to

provide simple, low-overhead file transfer services. TFTP provides unreliable data transfer

services over the User Datagram Protocol (UDP) and does not provide any access

authorization or authentication mechanism. It employs timeout and retransmission to

guarantee data delivery.

The SecBlade card serves as the TFTP client while the file server serves as the TFTP server. You

can upload/download applications to/from the file server by entering a corresponding

command on the configuration terminal.

You can upgrade application files using TFTP in the following two ways:

• On the BootWare menu

• At the CLI

Upgrading applications using TFTP on the BootWare

Step1 Set up a TFTP upgrade environment.

• The SecBlade card serves as the TFTP client while the PC serves as the TFTP server.

• Use a crossover Ethernet cable to connect Ethernet interface GigabitEthernet 0/2 on

the SecBlade card to the PC and ensure the connectivity between the SecBlade card

and the PC.

• Enable the TFTP server on the PC and set the path where the application files are

stored.
