1.2 Impact of Patch Installation

Before you upgrade an earlier version to the V200R003C00, 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.
NOTE
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):
 S5300: 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.
1.4 Cautionary Notes Before the Upgrade

Consider the following cautionary points before performing the upgrade:

Ltd
No. Description
1 If both the system software and patches have been upgraded during the upgrade
from V100R003 or an earlier version to V200R003C00, delete the
$_patchstate_reboot file from the CF card before reboot. If this file is not
deleted, the specified file cannot take effect after the upgrade.
2 After the device is upgraded from V100R002 to V200R003C00, TACACS
authentication user rights are lost and need to be reconfigured.
3 When you upgrade the software using the command line, stack upgrade, or USB
flash drive, do not copy or delete files.
4 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.
5 When the S5300 is upgraded from V100R003 to V200R003C00, change the
DST after the upgrade is successful. If the version is rolled back after the DST is
changed, the DST configuration may be lost or incorrect. In this case, you need
to reconfigure the DST.
6 When the S5300 V200R003C00 is rolled back to V100R003, you need to re-set
the system time.
7 The command line of V200R003C00 is changed; therefore, compared with the
configuration files of V100R003 and earlier versions, the configuration file of
V200R003C00 is changed a lot. The configuration file of V200R003C00 must
begin with the message like "!Software Version V200R003C00." Before loading
the configuration file to V200R003C00, check whether the configuration file
contains the preceding message. If not, the system processes the configuration
file in the same way as a V100R003 configuration file. In this case, some
configurations may not function properly.
8 If the loopback local swap-mac or loopback remote swap-mac command has
been used on an interface in a version earlier than V200R003C00 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.
9 If the loopback local swap-mac or loopback remote swap-mac command has
been After the arp learning dhcp-trigger command is used on a VLANIF
interface of the DHCP relay agent in V200R003C00, dynamic ARP entries are
generated only after DHCP snooping in the corresponding VLAN or on the
physical interface connected to users. In V100R003C01, dynamic ARP entries
are generated after the arp learning dhcp-trigger command is used on a VLANIF
interface. However, the ARP entries may be deleted when a switchover occurs
on the ring network or a board restarts.
10 In V100R003, the DHCP server can use the sub-IP address of the VLANIF
interface as the gateway address to allocate IP addresses to uses. The
V200R003C00 does not support this function.

Ltd
No. Description
11 In V100R005, the dynamic VLAN and guest VLAN can be configured on any
types of interfaces in the configurations of 802.1x authentication and MAC
authentication. In V200R003C00, if the guest VLAN mode is MAC-based, the
dynamic VLAN and guest VLAN must be configured on hybrid interfaces.
Therefore, before the upgrade, change the interface type to hybrid.
12 After a switch is upgraded from a version earlier than V100R006C00 to
V200R003C00 with no configuration performed on the switch, some previously
disabled alarms are disabled. These alarms include basetrap, lldptrap, dldp, and
loop-detection.
13 After a switch is upgraded from V100R003 or an earlier version to
V200R003C00, the default setting of the dot1x handshake function changes
from enabled to disabled. After the upgrade, the dot1x handshake configuration
has no buildrun information.
14 After a switch is upgraded from V100R002 or an earlier version to
V200R003C00, 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.
15 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.
16 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
V200R003C00 the traffic statistics collected on an Ethernet interface include the
inter-frame gap by default.
17 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.
18 After the switch is upgraded from V200R001C01 to V200R003C00, 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
V200R003C00, run the traffic statistics interval interval-time command to set
this timer.
19 After the switch is upgraded from V100R200C00 or an earlier version to
V200R003C00, the default aging time of temporary ARP entries changes from 5
seconds to 3 seconds.
20 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.

Ltd
No. Description
21 If an 5300SI or 5300LI switch has been configured with the maximum number
of ACL CAR entries and inbound rate limiting before it is upgraded to
V200R003C00, the ACL CAR configuration may be lost after the upgrade due
to insufficient resources for ACL CAR entries.
22 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.
23 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.
24 After the software version is upgraded from V200R002C00 or an earlier version
to V200R002C00 or a later version, if the default web file web.7z is unavailable
and default configurations are used, the HTTPS service cannot be enabled and
the HTTPS service is disabled.
25 V200R002C00SPC100 does not support HGMP. After the software is upgraded
to V200R002C00SPC100 or a later version, the HGMP configuration will be
lost.
26 V200R003C00 supports a maximum of 30000 commands. If more than 30000
commands are executed, some commands may become invalid after software
upgrade.
27 During software degrade, if the system displays "Info: After the system version
is changed successfully, it can only be changed to V200R002 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.
28 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.
29 When the software version is degraded to be earlier than V200R002, the
BootROM is not automatically upgraded. After the version is degraded, it cannot
be upgraded again. The S5300EI is not limited by this rule. The software version
of S5300SI cannot be degraded from V200R002 to V100R006 or an earlier
version.
30 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.
31 Before upgrading or degrading V200R002C00SPC100 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.

Ltd
No. Description
32 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.
33 After the software version is upgraded to V200R003C00, the tunnel interface
format is changed from Tunnel x/x/x to Tunnel x.
34 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.
35 After the software version is upgraded to V200R003C00, the BIOS password set
in the earlier version is still valid; however, it is recommended that you change
the password to ensure security.
36 After the software version is upgraded to V200R003C00, the local account
password set in the earlier version is still valid; however, it is recommended that
you change the password to ensure security.
37 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 V200R003C00.
38 After V200R003C00 is degraded to V200R001 or an earlier version, the stack
features on stack ports are disabled, and the stack ports must be reconfigured.
39 The qos queue statistics enable command is deleted from V200R003C00 and
later versions. After the version is upgraded to V200R003C00, the switch
supports queue statistics by default.
40 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.
41 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.
42 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.
43 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.
44 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.
45 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.

Ltd
No. Description
46 After the stack upgrade is complete, you only need to install the patch on the
master device.

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 V200R003C00 Using the Command Line.
3.7 Checking the Flash Memory Space

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.

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.
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-s5300.cc file. For
details, see "Managing the File System" in the S2350&S5300&S6300 Series Ethernet

Upgrade Guide 4 Upgrade Operations on a Single Switch
4 Upgrade Operations on a Single Switch
4.1 Upgrading the Switch to V200R003C00 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 S5300, and
the S6300. In the following description, the system software of the S5300 is upgraded.
 The S2350&S5300&S6300 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 S5300 as the TFTP client.
 Use the S5300 as the FTP server.
 Use the S5300 as the FTP client.
 Use the S5300 as the FTP client.

Ltd
FTP and TFTP are insecure. SFTP is recommended.
Method 1: Use the S5300 as the TFTP Client
No TFTP client software is installed on the S5300; therefore, the customer needs to buy TFTP client
software and install it. The TFTP32 program is recommended.
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.
CAUTION
Do not stop the TFTP server program when you are backing up data.
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.

The methods for upgrading the system software using the BootROM are similar on theS5300, and the
S6300. Here, the method for upgrading the system software on the S5300 is taken as an example. In the
versions earlier than V200R001C00SPC100 , The BootROM menu default password is huawei or
www.huawei.com.

Ltd
4.2.1 Upgrading the BootROM

Purpose To upgrade the BootROM
Impact Services are interrupted during the upgrade and the device reboot.
Time The upgrade takes about 100 seconds when the transmission rate of the
Required serial interface is 115200 bit/s.
Prerequisites After backing up the key data in the flash memory, you must run the
reboot command in the user view to restart the system.
Do not restart or power off the S5300 when the information "Update BOOTROM system…"
is being displayed during the upgrade of the BootROM. Otherwise, the S5300 runs
abnormally. In this case, contact Huawei technical personnel.
You can restart or power off the S5300 only when the message "done!" is displayed.
The BootROM menu varies according to the version. Here, the BootROM of V200R003C00
is taken as an example.
7. Use a serial cable to connect the serial interfaces on the PC and the S5300 and start the
HyperTerminal on the PC.
8. Enter the connection name and click OK.
9. Select the serial interface and click OK.
10. On the COM Properties page, click Restore Defaults. Then set the value of Bits per second
to 9600 and click OK.
11. If the prompt is displayed on the HyperTerminal, the HyperTerminal is connected to the
S5300. In this case, you can upgrade the S5300 using the BootROM.
12. Enter the BootROM menu.
Before entering the BootROM menu, you need to restart the S5300. During the restart of the
S5300, 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:

1. Update BOOTROM system
2. Download file to Flash through serial interface
3. Modify serial interface parameter
4. Return to main menu
14. Modify the parameters of the serial interface.
Changing the transmission rate of the serial interface causes interruption of the
communication between the PC and S5300. To restore the communication between the PC
and the S5300, you must set the transmission rate of the serial interface on the PC the same as
that of the serial interface on the S5300.
Select 3. Modify serial interface parameter. The following information is displayed:

Enter your choice(1-5): 3
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 S5300 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 S5300, set the transmission
rate of the serial interface on the PC the same as that of the serial interface on the S5300. In

4.2.2 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.

When the S5300 is starting, the following information is displayed:
BOOTROM MENU

Ltd

8. Reboot
2. Select 2. Enter serial submenu. The following information is displayed:

SERIAL SUBMENU

Ltd
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 S5300. To restore the communication between the PC
and the S5300, you must set the transmission rate of the serial interface on the PC the same as
that of the serial interface on the S5300.
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 S5300 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 S5300, set the transmission rate of the serial interface on the PC the same as
that of the serial interface on the S5300. In this manner, you can restore the communication
between the PC and the S5300.
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 S5300:
 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.

4.2.4 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 S5300
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
S5300.
4.3 Upgrading the Switch to V200R003C00 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 S5300-SI, S5300-HI, S5310EI and S6300 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:

a. 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.
b. Restart the switch.
The switch sets the system software and configuration file for next startup, and then
restarts automatically.
c. 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
1. Prepare the hardware.
 USB port: The S5300-SI provide USB 1.1; the S5300-HI, S5310EI and S6300 provide
USB 2.0.
 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.

Ltd
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.
2. Prepare system software, configuration file, web file, and patch file.
3. Create the index file.
a. Create the file usbload_config.txt.
b. Fill in the file.
 When an S5300-SI is upgraded to V200R001 or a later version, the index file is in either
of the following formats:
If an index file contains the following two formats, the S5300-SI uses the information in format (2). If
the required information is not obtained, the S5300-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=S5300SI-V200R003C00.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=S5300SI-V200R003C00.cc; cfgfile=vrpcfg1.cfg;
patchfile=patch1.pat;/>
<mac=0018-8200-0002; vrpfile=S5300SI-V200R003C00.cc; cfgfile=vrpcfg2.cfg;
patchfile=patch2.pat;/>
 If you need to upgrade the system software, configuration file or patch file of V200R001
or a later version, the index file is in any of the following formats:
<time-sn=201301090851;/>
<usb-deployment password=123abc;/>
<mac=; vrpfile=; vrpver=; cfgfile=; webfile=; patchfile=;/>
<esn=; vrpfile=; vrpver=; cfgfile=; webfile=; patchfile=;/>
<boardtype=; vrpfile=; vrpver=; cfgfile=; webfile=; patchfile=;/>

Ltd
 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 S5300-SI, S5300-HI , S5310EI and S6300 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=S5328C-SI; vrpfile=S5300SI-V200R003C00.cc; vrpver=V200R003C00;
cfgfile=; webfile=; patchfile=;/>
<boardtype=S5328-HI; vrpfile=S5300HI-V200R003C00.cc; vrpver=V200R003C00; 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=;/>
The following is an example of patch file:

<mac=0018-8200-0002; vrpfile=; vrpver=; cfgfile=; webfile=; patchfile=patch.pat;/>

Ltd
(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=210235182110AB000268; vrpfile=; vrpver=; cfgfile=; webfile=;
patchfile=patch.pat;/>
The following is an example of system software:

<esn=210235182110AB000268; vrpfile=S5300SI-V200R003C00.cc; vrpver=V200R003C00;
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.
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
1. Power on the S5300-SI, and wait until the system completes the startup (you are advertised to
wait for two minutes).
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.
 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 in 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

Ltd
properly. If no, power off the S5300-SI, and then restart the S5300-SI. If the fault
persists (the indicator is on and in red), contact Huawei technical support personnel.
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 on or blinks red, an error occurs. Power off the S5300-SI 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.
NOTE
When using the USB flash drive for upgrade, change the SN in the USB flash drive.

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

V200R003C00 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 S5300, and the S6300 using the command
line interface are similar. Here, the S5300 is used as an example.
 The section describes only how to download the system software by using the S5300 as the FTP
server. For other methods of loading the system software, see the S5300/S6300 Series Ethernet
Switches Configuration Guide - Basic Configurations.
 The S5300/S6300 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.
4. Ensure that all the member switches have sufficient available space in the flash memory. For
details, see section3.7 “Checking the Flash Memory Space”.
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
ftppwd.

5.2 Using the Intelligent Upgrade Function

5.2.1 Overview
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.

Ltd
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 S5300 and the S6300 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.)
 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 S5300, 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 4 Upgrade 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.

Upgrade Guide 7 Version Rollback
7 Version Rollback
7.1 5300/6300 Version Rollback

If an error occurs after the upgrade, perform version rollback to restore normal service
operating.

software package
Perform version rollback See 7.1.3
Verify version rollback See 7.1.4
End
1. Only the configuration file in cfg format can be used for rollback. Before performing
version rollback, check the format of the configuration file. If the configuration file is not in
cfg format, save it in the cfg format.
2. When the S5300 V200R003C00 is rolled back to V100R003, you need to re-set the system
time.
3. If you run the delete command to delete files stored in the flash memory before the device
is rolled back from V200R001 to V100R005, some space in the flash memory may be

Upgrade Guide 7 Version Rollback
unavailable. Run the dir command to view the unknown space and run the fixdisk command
to reclaim the space.
4. If the configuration is not saved after the switch is upgraded to V200R001, 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 chapter 4 Upgrade Operations
on a Single Switch.
7.1.3 Performing Version Rollback

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

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