Upgrading Application Program Through Ethernet Interface 67■ Do not modify the device name of the router; otherwise, the system prompts“Boot device should not be modified” and skips to the next configuration item.■ Only FE0 port can be used in MSR 20 series, and GE0 port in MSR 30 and MSR50 series.Upgrading ApplicationProgram ThroughEthernet InterfaceTFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) is a protocol of the TCP/IP suit that is used totransfer trivial files between clients and the server. It provides not-so-complex andlow-cost file transfer services. Carried over UDP, TFTP provides unreliable datatransfer services and does not provide access authorization and authenticationmechanism. It employs timeout retransmission to guarantee the successfultransferring of data. TFTP takes much smaller size than FTP.FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is an application layer protocol in the TCP/IP suit. Itmainly transfers files among remote hosts. Carried over TCP, it provides reliableand connection-oriented data transfer service but does not provide accessauthorization and authentication mechanism.Step 1: Set up an upgrade environment.Figure 58 Set up TFTP/FTP upgrade environmentConnect Ethernet port 0/0 to a PC by using a crossover cable. Start TFTP/FTPprogram on the PC as the server, and set the path of TFTP/FTP server to point tothe address of application program. You need to set user name and password ifFTP server is used.c CAUTION: No TFTP/FTP Server is available with the H3C MSR 30 series. You mustinstall one yourself.Step 2: Modify Ethernet parameters. Refer to “Configuring Ethernet Parameters”on page 66 for details.Step 3: Enter <3> to enter Ethernet submenu. For example, when upgrading mainapplication program, enter <2> to upgrade:Loading...Done!14323376 bytes downloaded.Input the File Name:After the download is done, input the file name and begin to update:EthernetROUTER(TFTP/FTP Client)PC(TFTP/FTP Server)Console
