Upgrade and Maintenance Method
The following sections describe how to upgrade and maintain the equipment:
Transfer files by TFTP
Transfer files by Xmodem
Transferring Files by TFTP
There are two ways to transfer files by TFTP: download files from the host to the equipment, or upload files from
the equipment to the host.
In the CLI command mode, download the files by performing the following steps:
Before download, first run the TFTP server software on the local host. Then, select the directory of the file to
download. Finally, log in to the equipment. In the privileged EXEC mode, download the files by using the
following commands. If no location is specified, you need to separately input the IP address of the TFTP server.
Ruijie# copy tftp: //location/ filename flash:
filename [vrf vrfname]
Download the specified file from the
URL on the host to the equipment.
In the CLI command mode, upload the files by performing the following steps:
Before upload, first run the TFTP server software on the local host. Then, select the destination directory for the
file to upload at the host. Finally, upload the files by using the following commands in the privileged EXEC mode.
Ruijie# copy flash: filename tftp:
//location/filename [vrf vrfname]
Upload the specified file from the
equipment to the directory specified
by the URL on the host. You can also
rename the file.
It is necessary to put the tftp link in quotes if the filename of the source
file has space. For example:
copy tftp:”//localtion/filename” flash:filename [vrf vrfname]
It is necessary to put the filename in quotes if the filename of the
destination file has space. For example:
copy tftp://localtion/filename flash:”filename” [vrf vrfname]
