Restrictions and cautions

When you use this version of software, make sure you fully understand the restrictions and cautions described in this section.

Restrictions

Hardware

None

Software

VLAN configuration priority restriction

If both MAC-based VLAN and IP subnet-based VLAN are configured on an interface, MAC-based VLAN configuration takes effect.

Restrictions for password settings

The new version enforces a stricter password control policy, which will examine whether the passwords meet the following requirements:

¡ Password composition restriction.

¡ Minimum password length requirement.

¡ The password cannot contain the username or the reverse letters of the username.

When you enter your password to log in, you are prompted to change the password that does not meet the above requirements.

Configuring Networking

Restrictions for aggregate CAR

A QoS policy that contains an aggregate CAR action cannot be applied to outgoing packets on an interface.

Cautions

Hardware

The data buffer of the interface configuration priority Cautions

· By default, the Burst feature is disabled. An interface can use up to 33% of the shared buffer, and each queue on the interface can use up to 70% of the data buffer of the interface.

· When the Burst feature is enabled, an interface can use up to 90% of the shared buffer, and each queue on the interface can use up to 70% of the data buffer of the interface.

Software

Rate of ARP packets delivered to the CPU

The maximum rate of ARP packets delivered to the CPU was changed from 500 pps to 800 pps to improve the ARP processing performance.

Open problems and workarounds

202409201553

· Symptom: The output from the display device manuinfo command displays questions marks (?) for power module information.

· Condition: This symptom might occur if you execute the display device manuinfo command on some devices that come with power modules.

· Workaround: None.

202409180153

· Symptom: The local device cannot communicate with a peer device.

· Condition: This symptom might occur in EVPN VXLAN networks under the following conditions:

¡ The lower 8 bits of the local device's bridge MAC address is in the range of 0XD5 to 0XF5, and the MAC address used on the L3VNI interface for packet sending is out of the local device's MAC address range.

¡ The bridge MAC of the peer device conflicts with that of the local device.

¡ Static source MAC check is enabled for the peer device.

¡ When the peer device receives packets from the local device and finds that the source address of those packets conflicts with its own MAC address, the peer device will discard those packets.

· Workaround: Use the irf mac-address command to change the local device's bridge MAC address. Alternatively, execute the undo mac-address static source-check enable command on the peer device to disable static source MAC check.

202409261056

· Symptom: The traffic encapsulated by using MTunnel cannot be decapsulated.

· Condition: This symptom occurs if you restart the subordinate IRF member device in an EVPN multicast network.

· Workaround: Flap the multicast tunnels.

202409270088

· Symptom: A small amount of traffic carries incorrect private network labels.

· Condition: This symptom occurs if the next hop for a PW in an MPLS L3VPN network is an equal cost route formed by Layer 3 aggregate interfaces and one member port of a Layer 3 aggregate interface flaps.

· Workaround: Do not flap member ports of Layer 3 aggregate interfaces forming the equal cost route or do not use the equal cost route.

Appendix B Fixed security vulnerabilities

Fixed security vulnerabilities in R6813

CVE-2023-44487

The HTTP/2 protocol allows a denial of service (server resource consumption) because request cancellation can reset many streams quickly, as exploited in the wild in August through October 2023.

CVE-2023-0466

The function X509_VERIFY_PARAM_add0_policy() is documented to implicitly enable the certificate policy check when doing certificate verification. However the implementation of the function does not enable the check which allows certificates with invalid or incorrect policies to pass the certificate verification. As suddenly enabling the policy check could break existing deployments it was decided to keep the existing behavior of the X509_VERIFY_PARAM_add0_policy() function. Instead the applications that require OpenSSL to perform certificate policy check need to use X509_VERIFY_PARAM_set1_policies() or explicitly enable the policy check by calling X509_VERIFY_PARAM_set_flags() with the X509_V_FLAG_POLICY_CHECK flag argument. Certificate policy checks are disabled by default in OpenSSL and are not commonly used by applications.

CVE-2023-3817

Impact summary: Applications that use the functions DH_check(), DH_check_ex()

or EVP_PKEY_param_check() to check a DH key or DH parameters may experience long

delays. Where the key or parameters that are being checked have been obtained

from an untrusted source this may lead to a Denial of Service.

The function DH_check() performs various checks on DH parameters. After fixing

CVE-2023-3446 it was discovered that a large q parameter value can also trigger

an overly long computation during some of these checks. A correct q value,

if present, cannot be larger than the modulus p parameter, thus it is

unnecessary to perform these checks if q is larger than p.

An application that calls DH_check() and supplies a key or parameters obtained

from an untrusted source could be vulnerable to a Denial of Service attack.

The function DH_check() is itself called by a number of other OpenSSL functions.

An application calling any of those other functions may similarly be affected.

The other functions affected by this are DH_check_ex() and EVP_PKEY_param_check().

Also vulnerable are the OpenSSL dhparam and pkeyparam command line applications

when using the "-check" option.

The OpenSSL SSL/TLS implementation is not affected by this issue.

The OpenSSL 3.0 and 3.1 FIPS providers are not affected by this issue.

Fixed security vulnerabilities in R6652P05

CVE-2023-2650

Issue summary: Processing some specially crafted ASN.1 object identifiers or data containing them may be very slow. Impact summary: Applications that use OBJ_obj2txt() directly, or use any of the OpenSSL subsystems OCSP, PKCS7/SMIME, CMS, CMP/CRMF or TS with no message size limit may experience notable to very long delays when processing those messages, which may lead to a Denial of Service. An OBJECT IDENTIFIER is composed of a series of numbers - sub-identifiers - most of which have no size limit. OBJ_obj2txt() may be used to translate an ASN.1 OBJECT IDENTIFIER given in DER encoding form (using the OpenSSL type ASN1_OBJECT) to its canonical numeric text form, which are the sub-identifiers of the OBJECT IDENTIFIER in decimal form, separated by periods. When one of the sub-identifiers in the OBJECT IDENTIFIER is very large (these are sizes that are seen as absurdly large, taking up tens or hundreds of KiBs), the translation to a decimal number in text may take a very long time. The time complexity is O(n^2) with 'n' being the size of the sub-identifiers in bytes (*). With OpenSSL 3.0, support to fetch cryptographic algorithms using names / identifiers in string form was introduced. This includes using OBJECT IDENTIFIERs in canonical numeric text form as identifiers for fetching algorithms. Such OBJECT IDENTIFIERs may be received through the ASN.1 structure AlgorithmIdentifier, which is commonly used in multiple protocols to specify what cryptographic algorithm should be used to sign or verify, encrypt or decrypt, or digest passed data. Applications that call OBJ_obj2txt() directly with untrusted data are affected, with any version of OpenSSL. If the use is for the mere purpose of display, the severity is considered low. In OpenSSL 3.0 and newer, this affects the subsystems OCSP, PKCS7/SMIME, CMS, CMP/CRMF or TS. It also impacts anything that processes X.509 certificates, including simple things like verifying its signature. The impact on TLS is relatively low, because all versions of OpenSSL have a 100KiB limit on the peer's certificate chain. Additionally, this only impacts clients, or servers that have explicitly enabled client authentication. In OpenSSL 1.1.1 and 1.0.2, this only affects displaying diverse objects, such as X.509 certificates. This is assumed to not happen in such a way that it would cause a Denial of Service, so these versions are considered not affected by this issue in such a way that it would be cause for concern, and the severity is therefore considered low.CVE-2022-32221

When doing HTTP(S) transfers, libcurl might erroneously use the read callback (`CURLOPT_READFUNCTION`) to ask for data to send, even when the `CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS` option has been set, if the same handle previously was used to issue a `PUT` request which used that callback. This flaw may surprise the application and cause it to misbehave and either send off the wrong data or use memory after free or similar in the subsequent `POST` request. The problem exists in the logic for a reused handle when it is changed from a PUT to a POST.

CVE-2023-2953

A vulnerability was found in openldap. This security flaw causes a null pointer dereference in ber_memalloc_x() function.

CVE-2023-0465

Applications that use a non-default option when verifying certificates may be vulnerable to an attack from a malicious CA to circumvent certain checks. Invalid certificate policies in leaf certificates are silently ignored by OpenSSL and other certificate policy checks are skipped for that certificate. A malicious CA could use this to deliberately assert invalid certificate policies in order to circumvent policy checking on the certificate altogether. Policy processing is disabled by default but can be enabled by passing the ‘-policy’ argument to the command line utilities or by calling the `X509_VERIFY_PARAM_set1_policies()' function.

CVE-2023-24329

An issue in the urllib.parse component of Python before 3.11.4 allows attackers to bypass blocklisting methods by supplying a URL that starts with blank characters.

CVE-2023-0286

There is a type confusion vulnerability relating to X.400 address processing inside an X.509 GeneralName. X.400 addresses were parsed as an ASN1_STRING but the public structure definition for GENERAL_NAME incorrectly specified the type of the x400Address field as ASN1_TYPE. This field is subsequently interpreted by the OpenSSL function GENERAL_NAME_cmp as an ASN1_TYPE rather than an ASN1_STRING. When CRL checking is enabled (i.e. the application sets the X509_V_FLAG_CRL_CHECK flag), this vulnerability may allow an attacker to pass arbitrary pointers to a memcmp call, enabling them to read memory contents or enact a denial of service. In most cases, the attack requires the attacker to provide both the certificate chain and CRL, neither of which need to have a valid signature. If the attacker only controls one of these inputs, the other input must already contain an X.400 address as a CRL distribution point, which is uncommon. As such, this vulnerability is most likely to only affect applications which have implemented their own functionality for retrieving CRLs over a network.

CVE-2023-0464

A security vulnerability has been identified in all supported versions of OpenSSL related to the verification of X.509 certificate chains that include policy constraints. Attackers may be able to exploit this vulnerability by creating a malicious certificate chain that triggers exponential use of computational resources, leading to a denial-of-service (DoS) attack on affected systems. Policy processing is disabled by default but can be enabled by passing the `-policy' argument to the command line utilities or by calling the `X509_VERIFY_PARAM_set1_policies()' function.

CVE-2023-0215

The public API function BIO_new_NDEF is a helper function used for streaming ASN.1 data via a BIO. It is primarily used internally to OpenSSL to support the SMIME, CMS and PKCS7 streaming capabilities, but may also be called directly by end user applications. The function receives a BIO from the caller, prepends a new BIO_f_asn1 filter BIO onto the front of it to form a BIO chain, and then returns the new head of the BIO chain to the caller. Under certain conditions, for example if a CMS recipient public key is invalid, the new filter BIO is freed and the function returns a NULL result indicating a failure. However, in this case, the BIO chain is not properly cleaned up and the BIO passed by the caller still retains internal pointers to the previously freed filter BIO. If the caller then goes on to call BIO_pop() on the BIO then a use-after-free will occur. This will most likely result in a crash. This scenario occurs directly in the internal function B64_write_ASN1() which may cause BIO_new_NDEF() to be called and will subsequently call BIO_pop() on the BIO. This internal function is in turn called by the public API functions PEM_write_bio_ASN1_stream, PEM_write_bio_CMS_stream, PEM_write_bio_PKCS7_stream, SMIME_write_ASN1, SMIME_write_CMS and SMIME_write_PKCS7. Other public API functions that may be impacted by this include i2d_ASN1_bio_stream, BIO_new_CMS, BIO_new_PKCS7, i2d_CMS_bio_stream and i2d_PKCS7_bio_stream. The OpenSSL cms and smime command line applications are similarly affected.

CVE-2022-4304

A timing based side channel exists in the OpenSSL RSA Decryption implementation which could be sufficient to recover a plaintext across a network in a Bleichenbacher style attack. To achieve a successful decryption an attacker would have to be able to send a very large number of trial messages for decryption. The vulnerability affects all RSA padding modes: PKCS#1 v1.5, RSA-OEAP and RSASVE. For example, in a TLS connection, RSA is commonly used by a client to send an encrypted pre-master secret to the server. An attacker that had observed a genuine connection between a client and a server could use this flaw to send trial messages to the server and record the time taken to process them. After a sufficiently large number of messages the attacker could recover the pre-master secret used for the original connection and thus be able to decrypt the application data sent over that connection.

CVE-2023-28321

An improper certificate validation vulnerability exists in curl <v8.1.0 in the way it supports matching of wildcard patterns when listed as "Subject Alternative Name" in TLS server certificates. curl can be built to use its own name matching function for TLS rather than one provided by a TLS library. This private wildcard matching function would match IDN (International Domain Name) hosts incorrectly and could as a result accept patterns that otherwise should mismatch. IDN hostnames are converted to puny code before used for certificate checks. Puny coded names always start with `xn--` and should not be allowed to pattern match, but the wildcard check in curl could still check for `x*`, which would match even though the IDN name most likely contained nothing even resembling an `x`.

CVE-2023-28322

An information disclosure vulnerability exists in curl <v8.1.0 when doing HTTP(S) transfers, libcurl might erroneously use the read callback (`CURLOPT_READFUNCTION`) to ask for data to send, even when the `CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS` option has been set, if the same handle previously wasused to issue a `PUT` request which used that callback. This flaw may surprise the application and cause it to misbehave and either send off the wrong data or use memory after free or similar in the second transfer. The problem exists in the logic for a reused handle when it is (expected to be) changed from a PUT to a POST.A vulnerability was found in curl.

CVE-2021-3753

A race problem was seen in the vt_k_ioctl in drivers/tty/vt/vt_ioctl.c in the Linux kernel, which may cause an out of bounds read in vt as the write access to vc_mode is not protected by lock-in vt_ioctl (KDSETMDE). The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality.

CVE-2021-3739

A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the btrfs_rm_device function in fs/btrfs/volumes.c in the Linux Kernel, where triggering the bug requires ‘CAP_SYS_ADMIN’. This flaw allows a local attacker to crash the system or leak kernel internal information. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to system availability.

CVE-2021-45868

In the Linux kernel before 5.15.3, fs/quota/quota_tree.c does not validate the block number in the quota tree (on disk). This can, for example, lead to a kernel/locking/rwsem.c use-after-free if there is a corrupted quota file.

CVE-2022-1011

A flaw use after free in the Linux kernel FUSE filesystem was found in the way user triggers write(). A local user could use this flaw to get some unauthorized access to some data from the FUSE filesystem and as result potentially privilege escalation too.

CVE-2022-0854

A memory leak flaw was found in the Linux kernel’s DMA subsystem, in the way a user calls DMA_FROM_DEVICE. This flaw allows a local user to read random memory from the kernel space.

CVE-2022-0492

A vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel’s cgroup_release_agent_write in the kernel/cgroup/cgroup-v1.c function. This flaw, under certain circumstances, allows the use of the cgroups v1 release_agent feature to escalate privileges and bypass the namespace isolation unexpectedly.

CVE-2021-4002

A memory leak flaw in the Linux kernel's hugetlbfs memory usage was found in the way the user maps some regions of memory twice using shmget() which are aligned to PUD alignment with the fault of some of the memory pages. A local user could use this flaw to get unauthorized access to some data.

CVE-2022-25375

An issue was discovered in drivers/usb/gadget/function/rndis.c in the Linux kernel before 5.16.10. The RNDIS USB gadget lacks validation of the size of the RNDIS_MSG_SET command. Attackers can obtain sensitive information from kernel memory.

CVE-2020-7469

In FreeBSD 12.2-STABLE before r367402, 11.4-STABLE before r368202, 12.2-RELEASE before p1, 12.1-RELEASE before p11 and 11.4-RELEASE before p5 the handler for a routing option caches a pointer into the packet buffer holding the ICMPv6 message. However, when processing subsequent options the packet buffer may be freed, rendering the cached pointer invalid. The network stack may later dereference the pointer, potentially triggering a use-after-free.

CVE-2021-22924

libcurl keeps previously used connections in a connection pool for subsequenttransfers to reuse, if one of them matches the setup.Due to errors in the logic, the config matching function did not take 'issuercert' into account and it compared the involved paths *case insensitively*,which could lead to libcurl reusing wrong connections.File paths are, or can be, case sensitive on many systems but not all, and caneven vary depending on used file systems.The comparison also didn't include the 'issuer cert' which a transfer can setto qualify how to verify the server certificate.

While the kernel currently ignores such malformed packets, it passes them to userspace programs. Any programs expecting the kernel to do validation may be vulnerable to an overflow.

CVE-2020-8284

A malicious server can use the FTP PASV response to trick curl 7.73.0 and earlier into connecting back to a given IP address and port and this way potentially make curl extract information about services that are otherwise private and not disclosed for example doing port scanning and service banner extractions.

CVE-2020-8285

Curl 7.21.0 to and including 7.73.0 is vulnerable to uncontrolled recursion due to a stack overflow issue in FTP wildcard match parsing.

CVE-2021-22924

CVE-2021-22925

curl supports the `-t` command line option, known as `CURLOPT_TELNETOPTIONS`in libcurl. This rarely used option is used to send variable=content pairs toTELNET servers.Due to flaw in the option parser for sending `NEW_ENV` variables, libcurlcould be made to pass on uninitialized data from a stack based buffer to theserver. Therefore potentially revealing sensitive internal information to theserver using a clear-text network protocol.This could happen because curl did not call and use sscanf() correctly whenparsing the string provided by the application.

CVE-2022-39028

Telnetd in GNU Inetutils through 2.3, MIT krb5-appl through 1.0.3, and derivative works has a NULL pointer dereference via 0xff 0xf7 or 0xff 0xf8. In a typical installation, the telnetd application would crash but the telnet service would remain available through inetd. However, if the telnetd application has many crashes within a short time interval, the telnet service would become unavailable after inetd logs a "telnet/tcp server failing (looping), service terminated" error. NOTE: MIT krb5-appl is not supported upstream but is shipped by a few Linux distributions. The affected code was removed from the supported MIT Kerberos 5 (aka krb5) product many years ago, at version 1.8.

CVE-2021-40490

A race condition was discovered in ext4_write_inline_data_end in fs/ext4/inline.c in the ext4 subsystem in the Linux kernel through 5.13.13.

CVE-2021-20317

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel. A corrupted timer tree caused the task wakeup to be missing in the timerqueue_add function in lib/timerqueue.c. This flaw allows a local attacker with special user privileges to cause a denial of service, slowing and eventually stopping the system while running OSP.

CVE-2021-3679

A lack of CPU resource in the Linux kernel tracing module functionality in versions prior to 5.14-rc3 was found in the way user uses trace ring buffer in a specific way. Only privileged local users (with CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability) could use this flaw to starve the resources causing denial of service.

CVE-2021-4160

There is a carry propagation bug in the MIPS32 and MIPS64 squaring procedure. Many EC algorithms are affected, including some of the TLS 1.3 default curves. Impact was not analyzed in detail, because the pre-requisites for attack are considered unlikely and include reusing private keys. Analysis suggests that attacks against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount of resources required for such an attack would be significant. However, for an attack on TLS to be meaningful, the server would have to share the DH private key among multiple clients, which is no longer an option since CVE-2016-0701. This issue affects OpenSSL versions 1.0.2, 1.1.1 and 3.0.0. It was addressed in the releases of 1.1.1m and 3.0.1 on the 15th of December 2021. For the 1.0.2 release it is addressed in git commit 6fc1aaaf3 that is available to premium support customers only. It will be made available in 1.0.2zc when it is released. The issue only affects OpenSSL on MIPS platforms. Fixed in OpenSSL 3.0.1 (Affected 3.0.0). Fixed in OpenSSL 1.1.1m (Affected 1.1.1-1.1.1l). Fixed in OpenSSL 1.0.2zc-dev (Affected 1.0.2-1.0.2zb).

CNVD-2019-23102/CVE-2019-10638/HSVD-202103-0

In the Linux kernel before 5.1.7, a device can be tracked by an attacker using the IP ID values the kernel produces for connection-less protocols (e.g., UDP and ICMP). When such traffic is sent to multiple destination IP addresses, it is possible to obtain hash collisions (of indices to the counter array) and thereby obtain the hashing key (via enumeration). An attack may be conducted by hosting a crafted web page that uses WebRTC or gQUIC to force UDP traffic to attacker-controlled IP addresses.

Appendix C Upgrading software

This chapter describes types of software used on the switch and how to upgrade software while the switch is operating normally or when the switch cannot correctly start up.

System software file types

Software required for starting up the switch includes:

· Boot ROM image—A .bin file that comprises a basic section and an extended section. The basic section is the minimum code that bootstraps the system. The extended section enables hardware initialization and provides system management menus. You can use these menus to load software and the startup configuration file or manage files when the switch cannot correctly start up.

· Software images—Includes boot images and system images.

¡ Boot image—A .bin file that contains the operating system kernel. It provides process management, memory management, file system management, and the emergency shell.

¡ System image—A .bin file that contains the minimum modules required for device operation and some basic features, including device management, interface management, configuration management, and routing management.

The software images that have been loaded are called “current software images.” The software images specified to load at next startup are called “startup software images.”

These images might be released separately or as a whole in one .ipe package file. If an .ipe file is used, the system automatically decompresses the file, loads the .bin boot and system images in the file and sets them as startup software images. Typically, the Boot ROM and software images for this switch series are released in an .ipe file named main.ipe.

NOTE:

Boot ROM images are not released along with the boot images and system images. To get a version of Boot ROM image, contact the H3C technical support.

System startup process

Upon power-on, the Boot ROM image runs to initialize hardware and then the software images run to start up the entire system, as shown in Figure 1.

Figure 1 System startup process

Upgrade methods

You can upgrade system software by using one of the following methods:

Upgrading method	Software types	Remarks
Upgrading from the CLI	· Boot ROM image · Software images	· You must reboot the switch to complete the upgrade. · This method can interrupt ongoing network services.
Upgrading from the Boot menu	· Boot ROM image · Software images	Use this method when the switch cannot correctly start up. CAUTION: Upgrading an IRF fabric from the CLI instead of the Boot menu. The Boot menu method increases the service downtime, because it requires that you upgrade the member switches one by one.

Software types

Remarks

Upgrading from the CLI

· Boot ROM image

· Software images

· You must reboot the switch to complete the upgrade.

· This method can interrupt ongoing network services.

Upgrading from the Boot menu

· Boot ROM image

· Software images

Use this method when the switch cannot correctly start up.

CAUTION:

Upgrading an IRF fabric from the CLI instead of the Boot menu.

The Boot menu method increases the service downtime, because it requires that you upgrade the member switches one by one.

The output in this document is for illustration only and might vary with software releases. This document uses boot.bin and system.bin to represent boot and system image names. The actual software image name format is chassis-model_Comware-version_image-type_release, for example, S6520X-CMW710-BOOT-Rxxxx.bin and S6520X-CMW710-SYSTEM-Rxxxx.bin.

Upgrading from the CLI

This section uses a two-member IRF fabric as an example to describe how to upgrade software from the CLI. If you have more than two subordinate switches, repeat the steps for the subordinate switch to upgrade their software. If you are upgrading a standalone switch, ignore the steps for upgrading the subordinate switch. For more information about setting up and configuring an IRF fabric, see the installation guide and Virtual Technologies configuration guide for the H3C S6520X-EI & S6520X-HI switch series.

Preparing for the upgrade

Before you upgrade software, complete the following tasks:

1. Log in to the IRF fabric through Telnet or the console port. (Details not shown.)

2. Identify the number of IRF members, each member switch's role, and IRF member ID.

<Sysname> display irf

MemberID Role Priority CPU-Mac Description

*+1 Master 5 0023-8927-afdc ---

2 Standby 1 0023-8927-af43 ---

--------------------------------------------------

* indicates the device is the master.

+ indicates the device through which the user logs in.

The Bridge MAC of the IRF is: 0023-8927-afdb

Auto upgrade : no

Mac persistent : 6 min

Domain ID : 0

3. Verify that each IRF member switch has sufficient storage space for the upgrade images.

IMPORTANT:

Each IRF member switch must have free storage space that is at least two times the size of the upgrade image file.

# Identify the free flash space of the master switch.

<Sysname> dir

Directory of flash:

4. Compare the free flash space of each member switch with the size of the software file to load. If the space is sufficient, start the upgrade process. If not, go to the next step.

5. Delete unused files in the flash memory to free space:

CAUTION:

· To avoid data loss, do not delete the current configuration file. For information about the current configuration file, use the display startup command.

· The delete /unreserved file-url command deletes a file permanently and the action cannot be undone.

· The delete file-url command moves a file to the recycle bin and the file still occupies storage space. To free the storage space, first execute the undelete command to restore the file, and then execute the delete /unreserved file-url command.

# Delete unused files from the flash memory of the master switch.

<Sysname> delete /unreserved flash:/backup.bin

The file cannot be restored. Delete flash:/backup.bin?[Y/N]:y

Deleting the file permanently will take a long time. Please wait...

Deleting file flash:/backup.bin...Done.

# Delete unused files from the flash memory of the subordinate switch.

<Sysname> delete /unreserved slot2#flash:/backup.bin

The file cannot be restored. Delete slot2#flash:/backup.bin?[Y/N]:y

Deleting the file permanently will take a long time. Please wait...

Deleting file slot2#flash:/backup.bin...Done.

Downloading software images to the master switch

Before you start upgrading software images packages, make sure you have downloaded the upgrading software files to the root directory in flash memory. This section describes downloading an .ipe software file as an example.

The following are ways to download, upload, or copy files to the master switch:

· FTP download from a server

· FTP upload from a client

· TFTP download from a server

Prerequisites

If FTP or TFTP is used, the IRF fabric and the PC working as the FTP/TFTP server or FTP client can reach each other.

Prepare the FTP server or TFTP server program yourself for the PC. The switch series does not come with these software programs.

FTP download from a server

You can use the switch as an FTP client to download files from an FTP server.

To download a file from an FTP server, for example, the server at 10.10.110.1:

6. Run an FTP server program on the server, configure an FTP username and password, specify the working directory and copy the file, for example, newest.ipe, to the directory.

7. Execute the ftp command in user view on the IRF fabric to access the FTP server.

<Sysname> ftp 10.10.110.1

Trying 10.10.110.1...

Press CTRL+C to abort

Connected to 10.10.110.1(10.10.110.1).

220 FTP service ready.

User (10.10.110.1:(none)):username

331 Password required for username.

Password:

230 User logged in.

8. Enable the binary transfer mode.

ftp> binary

200 Type set to I.

9. Execute the get command in FTP client view to download the file from the FTP server.

ftp> get newest.ipe

227 Entering Passive Mode (10,10,110,1,17,97).

125 BINARY mode data connection already open, transfer starting for /newest.ipe

226 Transfer complete.

32133120 bytes received in 35 seconds (896. 0 kbyte/s)

ftp> bye

221 Server closing.

FTP upload from a client

You can use the IRF fabric as an FTP server and upload files from a client to the IRF fabric.

To FTP upload a file from a client:

On the IRF fabric:

10. Enable FTP server.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] ftp server enable

11. Configure a local FTP user account:

# Create the user account.

[Sysname] local-user abc

# Set its password and specify the FTP service.

[Sysname-luser-manage-abc] password simple pwd

[Sysname-luser-manage-abc] service-type ftp

# Assign the network-admin user role to the user account for uploading file to the working directory of the server.

[Sysname-luser-manage-abc] authorization-attribute user-role network-admin

[Sysname-luser-manage-abc] quit

[Sysname] quit

On the PC:

12. Log in to the IRF fabric (the FTP server) in FTP mode.

c:\> ftp 1.1.1.1

Connected to 1.1.1.1.

220 FTP service ready.

User(1.1.1.1:(none)):abc

331 Password required for abc.

Password:

230 User logged in.

13. Enable the binary file transfer mode.

ftp> binary

200 TYPE is now 8-bit binary.

14. Upload the file (for example, newest.ipe) to the root directory of the flash memory on the master switch.

ftp> put newest.ipe

200 PORT command successful

150 Connecting to port 10002

226 File successfully transferred

ftp: 32133120 bytes sent in 64.58 secs (497.60 Kbytes/sec).

TFTP download from a server

To download a file from a TFTP server, for example, the server at 10.10.110.1:

15. Run a TFTP server program on the server, specify the working directory, and copy the file, for example, newest.ipe, to the directory.

16. On the IRF fabric, execute the tftp command in user view to download the file to the root directory of the flash memory on the master switch.

<Sysname> tftp 10.10.110.1 get newest.ipe

Press CTRL+C to abort.

% Total % Received % Xferd Average Speed Time Time Time Current

Dload Upload Total Spent Left Speed

100 30.6M 0 30.6M 0 0 143k 0 --:--:-- 0:03:38 --:--:-- 142k

Upgrading the software images

To upgrade the software images:

17. Specify the upgrade image file (newest.ipe in this example) used at the next startup for the master switch, and assign the M attribute to the boot and system images in the file.

<Sysname> boot-loader file flash:/newest.ipe slot 1 main

Verifying image file..........Done.

Images in IPE:

boot.bin

system.bin

This command will set the main startup software images. Continue? [Y/N]:y

Add images to target slot.

Decompressing file boot.bin to flash:/boot.bin....................Done.

Decompressing file system.bin to flash:/system.bin................Done.

The images that have passed all examinations will be used as the main startup so

ftware images at the next reboot on slot 1.

18. Specify the upgrade image file as the main startup image file for each subordinate switch. This example uses IRF member 2. (The subordinate switches will automatically copy the file to the root directory of their flash memories.)

<Sysname> boot-loader file flash:/newest.ipe slot 2 main

Verifying image file..........Done.

Images in IPE:

boot.bin

system.bin

This command will set the main startup software images. Continue? [Y/N]:y

Add images to target slot.

Decompressing file boot.bin to flash:/boot.bin....................Done.

Decompressing file system.bin to flash:/system.bin................Done.

The images that have passed all examinations will be used as the main startup so

ftware images at the next reboot on slot 2.

19. Enable the software auto-update function.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] irf auto-update enable

[Sysname] quit

This function checks the software versions of member switches for inconsistency with the master switch. If a subordinate switch is using a different software version than the master, the function propagates the current software images of the master to the subordinate as main startup images. The function prevents software version inconsistency from causing the IRF setup failure.

20. Save the current configuration in any view to prevent data loss.

<Sysname> save

The current configuration will be written to the device. Are you sure? [Y/N]:y

Please input the file name(*.cfg)[flash:/startup.cfg]

(To leave the existing filename unchanged, press the enter key):

flash:/startup.cfg exists, overwrite? [Y/N]:y

Validating file. Please wait.................

Saved the current configuration to mainboard device successfully.

Slot 2:

Save next configuration file successfully.

21. Reboot the IRF fabric to complete the upgrade.

<Sysname> reboot

Start to check configuration with next startup configuration file, please wait.

........DONE!

This command will reboot the device. Continue? [Y/N]:y

Now rebooting, please wait...

The system automatically loads the .bin boot and system images in the .ipe file and sets them as the startup software images.

22. Execute the display version command in any view to verify that the current main software images have been updated (details not shown).

NOTE:

The system automatically checks the compatibility of the Boot ROM image and the boot and system images during the reboot. If you are prompted that the Boot ROM image in the upgrade image file is different than the current Boot ROM image, upgrade both the basic and extended sections of the Boot ROM image for compatibility. If you choose to not upgrade the Boot ROM image, the system will ask for an upgrade at the next reboot performed by powering on the switch or rebooting from the CLI (promptly or as scheduled). If you fail to make any choice in the required time, the system upgrades the entire Boot ROM image.

Upgrading from the Boot menu

In this approach, you must access the Boot menu of each member switch to upgrade their software one by one. If you are upgrading software images for an IRF fabric, using the CLI is a better choice.

TIP:

Upgrading through the Ethernet port is faster than through the console port.

Prerequisites

Make sure the prerequisites are met before you start upgrading software from the Boot menu.

Setting up the upgrade environment

1. Use a console cable to connect the console terminal (for example, a PC) to the console port on the switch.

2. Connect the Ethernet port on the switch to the file server.

NOTE:

The file server and the configuration terminal can be co-located.

3. Run a terminal emulator program on the console terminal and set the following terminal settings:

¡ Bits per second—9,600

¡ Data bits—8

¡ Parity—None

¡ Stop bits—1

¡ Flow control—None

¡ Emulation—VT100

Preparing for the TFTP or FTP transfer

To use TFTP or FTP:

· Run a TFTP or FTP server program on the file server or the console terminal.

· Copy the upgrade file to the file server.

· Correctly set the working directory on the TFTP or FTP server.

· Make sure the file server and the switch can reach each other.

Verifying that sufficient storage space is available

IMPORTANT:

For the switch to start up correctly, do not delete the main startup software images when you free storage space before upgrading Boot ROM. On the Boot menu, the main startup software images are marked with an asterisk (*).

When you upgrade software, make sure each member switch has sufficient free storage space for the upgrade file, as shown in Table 6.

Table 6 Minimum free storage space requirements

Upgraded images	Minimum free storage space requirements
Comware images	Two times the size of the Comware upgrade package file.
Boot ROM	Same size as the Boot ROM upgrade image file.

If no sufficient space is available, delete unused files as described in “Managing files from the Boot menu.”

Scheduling the upgrade time

During the upgrade, the switch cannot provide any services. You must make sure the upgrade has a minimal impact on the network services.

Changing the attribute of software images

Software image attributes include main (M), backup (B), and none (N). System software and boot software can each have multiple none-attribute images but only one main image and one backup image on the switch. You can assign both the M and B attributes to one image. If the M or B attribute you are assigning has been assigned to another image, the assignment removes the attribute from that image. If the removed attribute is the sole attribute of the image, its attribute changes to N.

For example, the system image system.bin has the M attribute and the system image system-update.bin has the B attribute. After you assign the M attribute to system-update.bin, the attribute of system-update.bin changes to M+B and the attribute of system.bin changes to N.

To change the attribute of a system or boot image:

1. Enter 2 in the Boot menu.

Handling software upgrade failures

If a software upgrade fails, the system runs the old software version.

To handle a software upgrade failure:

1. Verify that the software release is compatible with the switch model and the correct file is used.

2. Verify that the software release and the Boot ROM release are compatible. For software and Boot ROM compatibility, see the hardware and software compatibility matrix in the correct release notes.

3. Check the physical ports for a loose or incorrect connection.

4. If you are using the console port for file transfer, check the HyperTerminal settings (including the baud rate and data bits) for any wrong setting.

5. Check the file transfer settings:

¡ If XMODEM is used, you must set the same baud rate for the terminal as for the console port.

¡ If TFTP is used, you must enter the same server IP addresses, file name, and working directory as set on the TFTP server.

¡ If FTP is used, you must enter the same FTP server IP address, source file name, working directory, and FTP username and password as set on the FTP server.

6. Check the FTP or TFTP server for any incorrect setting.

7. Check that the storage device has sufficient space for the upgrade fil e.
