Typical Configuration of Upgrade CLI FTP of BOOTROM on AR28、AR46 Series Routers

The BOOTROM version for VRP3.40 is 9.xx (matching between the version and Bootrom does not need to be considered in AR46, that is, the bootrom upgrade does not need to be considered by AR46 in online application). Therefore, the BOOTROM version should be upgraded first. You can use the following CLI to upgrade the BOOTROM.

[Operation procedure]

Step 1: Enable FTP server on the router and configure the user name and the Ethernet interface address.

Step 2: FTP to the router from the PC and execute the following command to upload the full upgrade file (file name is 907bootromfull and the size is 512K) of Bootrom 9.07:

Example for the operation on the PC:

ftp> bin

200 Type set to I.

ftp> put  907bootromfull  bootromfull

200 Port command okay.

150 Server okay , now receive file.

226 file transmit success.

ftp: 524288 bytes sent in 6.66Seconds 78.77Kbytes/sec.

ftp>

 

Then the router prompts:

Ftp server is currently writing to flash , please wait...

 

Ftp server writing to flash is done.

 

Step 3: Execute upgrade bootrom full to upgrade the BOOTROM.

The system prompts:

<Quidway>upgrade bootrom full

  WARNING: The operation is to update the Boot ROM.

                 It may result in booting failure.

  Caution!!! upgrade bootrom [Y/N]?y

  Please wait, it may take a long time

  upgrade succeeds!

[Verification]

Reboot the router, view the BOOTROM version and confirm the upgrade is successful.

  [Tip]
