132CHAPTER 10: SOFTWARE UPGRADE AND BOOT OPTIONS

 

The switch can store up to two images; a primary and a secondary. When

 

you download a new image, you must select into which image space

 

(primary or secondary) you want the new image to be placed.

 

You can select which image the switch will load on the next reboot by

 

using the following command:

 

use image [primary secondary]

Rebooting the Switch

To reboot the switch, use the following command:

 

reboot {<date> <time> cancel}

 

where date is the date and time is the time (using a 24-hour clock

 

format) when the switch will be rebooted. The values use the following

 

format:

 

mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss

 

If you do not specify a reboot time, the reboot happens immediately

 

following the command, and any previously schedule reboots are

 

cancelled. To cancel a previously scheduled reboot, use the cancel

 

option.

 

 

Saving

The configuration is the customized set of parameters that you have

Configuration

selected to run on the switch. As you make configuration changes, the

Changes

new settings are stored in run-time memory. Settings that are stored in

 

run-time memory are not retained by the switch when the switch is

 

rebooted. To retain the settings, and have them load when you reboot

 

the switch, you must save the configuration to nonvolatile storage.

 

The switch can store two different configurations: a primary and a

 

secondary. When you save configuration changes, you can select to

 

which configuration you want the changes saved. If you do not specify,

 

the changes are saved to the configuration area currently in use.

 

If you have made a mistake, or you must revert to the configuration as it

 

was before you started making changes, you can tell the switch to use

 

the secondary configuration on the next reboot.

 

To save the configuration, use the following command:

save {configuration} {primary secondary}
