automatically when the file transfer completes (or if it fails).
To activate a software image that you downloaded to the switch, see Manage software
images on page 386.
Manage software images
The switch maintains two versions of the switch software in permanent storage. One image is
the active image, and the second image is the backup image. The active image is loaded
when the switch starts or reboots. This feature reduces switch down time when you are
upgrading or downgrading the switch software.
Note: A switch that runs an older (legacy) software version might not load a
configuration file that is created by a newer software version. In such
a situation, the switch displays a warning.
Copy an image
You can copy an image from one location (primary or backup) to another.
To copy an image:
1. Connect your computer to the same network as the switch.
You can use a WiFi or wired connection to connect your computer to the network, or
connect directly to a switch that is off-network using an Ethernet cable.
2. Launch a web browser.
3. In the address field of your web browser, enter the IP address of the switch.
For information about finding the IP address of the switch, see Access the switch on
page 14.
The Local Device Login page displays.
If you did not yet register the switch with your NETGEAR account, the Register to unlock

your NETGEAR account on page 29.
4. Enter one of the following passwords:
• After registration, enter your customized local device password.
