FTP Upgrade Guide for Huawei Router System Firmware

Time: 2024-08-22
        When optical transceivers are applied to Huawei routers and switches, their compatibility is restricted by the device’s system firmware version. Different firmware versions have distinct requirements for optical module identification and compatibility criteria. Upgrading or replacing the router system version can troubleshoot and resolve most optical module identification and compatibility issues, improving the adaptation between the module and the host device.
        Combined with practical operation cases, this document details the complete operation process of offline FTP upgrade for Huawei router system software.

• Operation Steps
1. Set up a local FTP server
        First, enable the FTP server function, create a local FTP user, and correctly configure the account and password, service type, and user privilege level.
        Note: The highest user privilege level for the AR5710 model is Level 3; for other Huawei models, configure according to the device’s official maximum privilege level..
2. Log in to the FTP client
        Launch the FTP client (Tripper FTP is used for this operation), enter the server IP, username, and password, and log in to the FTP service successfully.

3. Check router storage space and upload system firmware to router Flash
        Log in to the router CLI (Command Line Interface) and run the command:
            dir
        Check the remaining capacity of the Flash to ensure there is sufficient space to store the upgrade firmware (to avoid file upload failures). Then, select the new system file in the FTP client, right-click to upload it, and transfer the firmware to the router's built-in storage.

4. Verify successful file upload
        Run the following command on the router CLI:
            dir
        Check the firmware file name and size to confirm that the file has been successfully written to the device’s Flash.
5. Configure the firmware for next startup
        Enter the following startup configuration command:
            startup system-software AR5700S_V600R023C10SPC100.cc
6. Verify the next startup configuration
        Run the command to view the startup settings:
            display startup
        Confirm that the device will successfully load the new system software upon the next restart.
7. Restart the router to activate the new version
        Enter the fast restart command:
            reboot fast
8. Verify the upgraded firmware version
        After the device restarts successfully, enter the following command:
            display version
        Check the router’s current running system version to confirm the upgrade was successful.
