Huawei AR1200 Series User Manual

Step 4 In the user view, run the display version command to view the current system software. If the
current system software is the same as or later than new system software, an upgrade is
unnecessary.
Step 5 Run the following commands to check the device operation status:
Run the display memory-usage command in the user view to check the memory usage of MPUs
to ensure that the MPUs are working properly.
Run the display health command in the user view and record the command output. If you cannot
locate faults that have occurred during the upgrade, provide this information to Huawei technical
personnel for troubleshooting.
Step 6 Set up an environment where TFTP or FTP can be used to perform software upgrade. This helps
to back up the original resource files before the upgrade and upload the new resource files
required for the upgrade.
When the system software is upgraded with FTP:
l If the device to be upgraded functions as a client and a PC functions as a server, you must
install FTP server software on the PC. You need to purchase and install FTP server software
yourself, because the device does not have such software installed by default.
l If the device to be upgraded functions as a server and a PC functions as a client, you do not
need to install FTP server software on the PC. By default, the FTP server function on the
device to be upgraded is disabled. To enable the function, run the ftp server enable
command.
When the system software is upgraded with TFTP, the device to be upgraded can only function
as a client and does not provide the TFTP server function. In this case, you must install TFTP
server software on the PC.
Step 7 Back up important data stored in the storage media on the device to be upgraded.
Step 8 Check that the device storage media has adequate free space to store the new system software
and related upgrade files.
