Configuration Prerequisites
Patches are released per device model or card type. Before patching the system, you need to save the
appropriate patch files to the storage media of the device using FTP or TFTP. When saving the patch
files, note that:
z The patch files match the device model and software version. If they are not matched, the
hotfixing operation fails.
z Name the patch file properly. Otherwise, the system cannot locate the patch file and the hotfixing
operation fails. The name is in the format of "patch_PATCH-FLAG suffix.bin". The PATCH-FLAG
is pre-defined and support for the PATCH-FLAG depends on device model or card type. The first
three characters of the version item (using the display patch information command) represent
the PATCH-FLAG suffix. The system searches the root directory of the storage medium (flash by
default) for patch files based on the PATCH-FLAG. If there is a match, the system loads patches
to or install them on the memory patch area.
Table 10-1 describes the default patch name for each card type.
