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
updating 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.
The following sections describe how you can manage the software images:
•
Copy a software image on page 446
• Configure dual image settings on page 447
• View the dual image status on page 449
Copy a software image
You can copy a software image from one location (primary or backup) to another.
To copy a software 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 Ether
net cable.
2. Launch a web browser.
3. In the address field of your web browser, enter the IP address of the switch.
If you do not know the IP address of the switch, see
Access the switch on-network and
connected to the Internet on page 20 or Access the switch off-network and not
connected to the Internet on page 28.
The Device UI login page displays.
If you did not yet activate your warranty, the Register to activate your warranty page
displays. For more information, see
Register the switch on page 31.
4. Enter one of the following passwords:
• Enter your device admin password.
• If you previously managed the switch through the Insight app or
Cloud portal, enter
the Insight network password for the last Insight network location.
