File Management

The system 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 during subsequent switch restarts. This feature reduces switch down time when upgrading or downgrading the switch software.

The File Management menu contains links that provide access to the features described in the following sections:

•Dual Image Configuration

•Dual Image Status

Dual Image Configuration

The system running a legacy software version ignores (does not load) a configuration file created by the newer software version. When a configuration file created by the newer software version is discovered by the system running an older version of the software, the system displays an appropriate warning to the user.

Use the Dual Image Configuration screen to set the boot image, or configure an image description.
