Embodiment Construction

[0027] Reference will now be made in detail to exemplary embodiments, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the accompanying drawings, the same numerals in different drawings refer to the same or similar elements unless otherwise indicated. The implementations described in the following exemplary examples do not represent all implementations consistent with the present disclosure. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with aspects of the present disclosure as recited in the appended claims.

[0028] figure 1 An implementation environment involved in a method for upgrading firmware of an optical module. The implementation environment includes a core switch 110 , aggregation switches 120 , 130 , and 140 , servers 151 , 152 , and 153 , and a router 160 . Wherein, the optical module 200 is applied to the core switch 110 , that is, the core switch 110 can be regarded as a host cor...

Abstract

The invention discloses an optical module and a firmware upgrade method thereof. The firmware upgrade method of the optical module comprises the following steps: receiving a firmware upgrade request;responding to the firmware upgrade request to back up running parameters of the optical module and entering a program upgrade area preset in a storage area and running firmware upgrade codes; and jumping to a main program area in the storage area, running updated firmware codes, and loading running parameters of backup through running of firmware codes in order to generate configuration parametersto control running of the optical module. With the optical module and the firmware upgrade method thereof provided by the invention, the optical module is not rebooted during firmware upgrade in order to preclude communication services from interruption.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates to the technical field of optical fiber communication, in particular to an optical module and a method for upgrading firmware thereof. Background technique [0002] With the rapid development of optical fiber communication technology, users have higher and higher requirements for the performance and indicators of optical modules, an important part of optical fiber communication. [0003] When the optical module is actually used in the communication system, if it is necessary to improve its performance index, or to repair known defects, add new functions, etc., it is necessary to perform firmware upgrades, especially online firmware upgrades. Avoid returning the optical module to the optical module manufacturer, which greatly saves time and cost and improves the efficiency of firmware upgrades. [0004] At present, the firmware upgrade process of the optical module usually includes: the host sends a firmware upgrade reque...
