Image Files

Image files (those files with .img extensions) contain execut- able code that provides support for the system, NI modules, and network functions. In other words, they serve as essential drivers for switch and network operations.

Although these files may be backed up to the root flash direc- tory or any user-defined subdirectory, they must be present in the /flash/working and /flash/certified directories for the switch to operate and pass traffic.

If you delete all copies of an image file, you will be required to contact Alcatel Customer Support for replacements. There- fore, it is recommended that you keep backup copies on your computer’s hard drive or a locally-accessible server.
