7. If the selection from the File Type menu is Software, the Image Name menu is displayed
and you must select the software image that must be downloaded to the switch:
• image1. Select image1 to download image1.
• image2. Select image2 to download image2.
Note: We recommended that you do not overwrite the active image. If you do
so, the switch displays a warning that you are trying to overwrite the
active image.
8. In the File Path field, enter the path for the file to download.
You can enter up to 146 characters.
9. In the USB File field, specify the name for the file to download.
You can enter up to 32 characters. The transfer fails if you do not specify a filename.
10. Click the Apply button.
The file transfer begins.
The page displays information about the progress of the file transfer. The page refreshes
automatically when the file transfer completes (or if it fails).
To activate a software image that you downloaded to the switch, see Manage Software
Images on page 350.
Note: After a text configuration file is downloaded, the switch applies the
configuration automatically.
Manage Software Images
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 you are
upgrading or downgrading the switch software.
A legacy software version can ignore (that is, might not load) a configuration file that is
created by a 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.
The following sections describe how you can manage the images:
• Copy an Image on page 351
• Configure Dual Image Settings on page 351
