Dual Image Configuration
The Dual Image feature allows switch to retain two images in permanent storage. The user
designates one of these images as the active image to be loaded during subsequent switch
restarts. This feature reduces switch down time when upgrading / downgrading the image.
To display the Dual Image Configuration page, click Maintenance File Management Dual
Image Configuration.

3. Use Next Active Image to make the selected image the next active image for subsequent
reboots.
4. Use Update Bootcode to update the bootloader with the selected image.
