From the File Type menu, select the type of file that must be downloaded:
•
Software: The system software image, which is saved in one of two flash sectors
called images (image1 and image2). The active image stores the active copy,
while the other image stores a second copy. The device boots and runs from the
active image. If the active image is corrupted, the system automatically boots from
the nonactive image. This is a safety feature for faults occurring during the boot
upgrade process. This is the default setting.
•
Text Configuration: A text-based configuration file enables you to edit a
configured text file (startup-config) offline as needed. The most common
usage of text-based configuration is to upload a working configuration from a
device, edit it offline to personalize it for another similar device (for example,
change the device name or IP address), and download it to that device. This is
the default setting.
7.
If the selection from the File Type menu is Software, the Image Name menu displays
and you must select the software image that must be downloaded to the switch:
• Image1: Select image1 to upload image1.
• Image2: Select image2 to upload image2.
