This document is intended to provide information about the update process for Huawei S5700 switches.
In the example below, the update method via the WEB interface will be presented.
Step 1 - Log in to the WEB system.
Open the browser on your PC, type the address of the web system, for example, https://192.168.1.253, in the address bar and press Enter. The login page is displayed, enter the user name and password for a web account with the administrator right. Click GO or press Enter. The EasyOperation edition is displayed.
Step 2 - Check the current version of the system software.
Open the Monitor page to check the version of the system software that is running. Check that the running version meets the update requirement, as shown in the figure below.
Suppose the current version of the system software is V200R019C00SPC500.
Step 3 - Back up the main data and check the available space.
1. Choose Maintenance> System Maintenance> System> File Management to open the File Management page, as shown in the figure below.
2. Click the blue down arrow behind a file name (such as a configuration file, system software package, license file and patch file) and select a path to back up the file on the PC.
3. Check that there is enough space on the switch on the storage medium to store the new system software package. If space is insufficient, select the unwanted file and click Delete Permanently to free up space.
Step 4 - Load the new version files from the PC to switch.
1. On the File Management page, click Upload to open the Upload a file page, as shown in the figure below.

Click Save and Restart. The switch is restarted immediately with the configuration saved and disconnected from the web system.
Click Restart. The switch restarts without saving the settings. Unsaved settings will be lost.
To cancel the restart, click Cancel.
Step 6 - When the reboot is complete, log in to the web system and view the current version of the system software and the patch version to verify the update.
