If you install a patch from a patch package, the system finds the correct patch file in the patch package
file and loads the patch file.
IMPORTANT:
Set the file transfer mode to binary mode before using FTP or TFTP to upload or download patch files to
or from the Flash memory of the device. Otherwise, patch files cannot be parsed properly.
To load a patch file:
Step Command
1.
Enter system view.
system-view
2.
Load the patch file from the storage medium to the
patch memory area.
