Note: After a software image file is downloaded, you might need to select
the new software image file (see
Change the Software Image That
Loads When the Switch Starts or Reboots on page 325) and reboot
the switch. After a text configuration file is downloaded, the switch
applies the configuration automatically.
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 324
• Configure Dual Image Settings on page 324
