<Sysname> boot-loader file chassis2#slot1#flash:/newest.bin chassis 2 slot 1 main
This command will set the boot file of the specified board. Continue? [Y/N]:y
The specified file will be used as the main boot file at the next reboot on chassis 2
slot 1!
IMPORTANT:
The system software image file used for the next startup must be saved in the root directory of the storage
medium. If the storage medium is partitioned, the system software image file must be saved in the first
partition. You can copy or move a file to the Flash root directory.
# Reboot the device, and the system software image file is updated at the system reboot.
<Sysname> reboot
Using the device as an FTP server
If the device is operating as an FTP server, make sure the following requirements are met to ensure
successful FTP operations:
• The device and the FTP server can reach each other.
• Configure a user account (including the username, password, and authorization) on the device or
a remote authentication server for an FTP user. This task is required because the device does not
support anonymous FTP for security reasons. By default, authenticated users can access the root
directory of the device.
• The FTP user provides the correct username and password.
NOTE:
When you use the Internet Explorer browser to log in to the device operating as an FTP server, some FTP
functions are not available. This is because multiple connections are required during the login process but
the device supports only one connection at a time.
Configuring basic parameters
The FTP server uses one of the following modes to update a file when you upload the file (use the put
command) to the FTP server:
• Fast mode—The FTP server starts writing data to the storage medium after a file is transferred to the
memory. This prevents the existing file on the FTP server from being corrupted in the event that
anomaly, such as a power failure, occurs during a file transfer.
• Normal mode—The FTP server writes data to the storage medium while receiving data. This means
that any anomaly, such as a power failure, during file transfer might result in file corruption on the
FTP server. This mode, however, consumes less memory space than the fast mode.
To configure basic parameters for the FTP server:
Step Command Remarks
1. Enter system view. system-view N/A
2. Enable the FTP server. ftp server enable Disabled by default.
