Abstract

La présente invention concerne un procédé de mise à jour de dispositif de réseau et un dispositif de réseau, et se rapporte au domaine des réseaux de communication. Le procédé comprend les étapes suivantes : une première MPU acquiert une nouvelle version de logiciel pour un dispositif entier ; la première MPU notifie à une seconde MPU l'installation d'une nouvelle version de logiciel pour la seconde MPU ; la première MPU et la seconde MPU mettent à jour le logiciel de chacune d'au moins deux LPU, les LPU autres qu'une première LPU transmettant des données lorsque le logiciel de la première LPU est mis à jour ; et la seconde MPU commande chaque LPU mise à jour de manière à transférer des données. Dans la présente invention, lorsque la première LPU est mise à jour, la première MPU commande les autres LPU dans un dispositif de réseau de manière à transférer des données, de telle sorte que le dispositif de réseau peut transférer des données en utilisant certaines des LPU pendant la mise à jour, ce qui permet de résoudre le problème selon lequel, dans l'état de la technique associé, la capacité de transfert de données d'un réseau de communication est faible pendant la mise à jour d'un dispositif de réseau, et également d'améliorer la capacité de transfert de données du réseau de communication pendant la mise à jour du dispositif de réseau.
