S310 V600R022C10 Configuration Guide - System Management
Introduction of the BootLoader Menu
For details about the console port connection mode, see "Logging In to the CLI" in CLI Configuration Guide - Basic Configurations. If third-party terminal emulation software is used, set communication parameters correctly. If the parameter settings are incorrect, the third-party terminal emulation software may enter excess characters when you are using the BootLoader menu. As a result, BootLoader menu operations will be abnormal.
The actual command output varies depending on the device. The command output provided in this section is only an example.

Set the BootLoader password. By default, there is no password. To improve security, set a password as prompted upon the first login. The password must contain 8 to 255 characters, including at least two types of the following: uppercase letters (A to Z), lowercase letters (a to z), digits (0 to 9), and special characters, such as exclamation marks (!), at signs (@), number signs (#), dollar signs ($), and percent signs (%).

The serial port is ready once a PC is connected to the device through the serial port, but the file transmission rate is low. After the transmission rate on the serial port is modified, synchronize the transmission rate on the PC to that on the serial port and re-establish the connection. You can perform the following operations:

Ethernet submenu |
Access this submenu to change the system software or patch file. This operation features fast file transmission rate, but you must configure network parameters and an SFTP, FTP, or TFTP server to ensure that the device and server are reachable to each other.
