Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

If you want a PAF file to be loaded and run after the system restarts, you can run the startup paf command to specify the PAF file to be used at the next startup.

Prerequisites

The PAF file has been uploaded to the cfcard directory on the IPU.

Configuration Impact

After the command startup paf has been run and the system has restarted, the PAF file will be loaded and run on all boards.

Precautions

This command is supported only on the admin VS.

The startup paf command is used to specify the PAF file to be used at the next startup for all boards but not certain board.
If the startup paf command is run multiple times, the latest configuration will override the previous ones.
When the device is set to next start PAF, it must be a PAF with digital signature.
Setting the next PAF startup will check the PAF version and the next package version. If the verification fails, the setting fails.
The build provides two PAF versions, one without digital signature and the other with digital signature. PAF without digital signature can be used when the version before V8R9 is upgraded to a higher version.
You must configure the next-startup software package and then the next-startup PAF.

Example

# Specify the paf_400k.bin file to be used at the next startup.

<HUAWEI> startup paf paf_400k.bin
