Active Image
There are two firmware images, Image1 and Image2, stored on the switch. One of 
the images is identified as the active image and other image is identified as the 
inactive image. The switch boots from the image you set as the active image. You 
can change the image identified as the inactive image to the active image. (You 
need to reboot the switch.)
To  s e l e c t  t h e  a c t i v e  i m a g e :
STEP 1 Click Administration > File Management > Active Image. 
The following fields are displayed: 
• Active Image—Displays the image file that is currently active on the switch. 
• Active Image Version Number—Displays the firmware version of the active 
image.
• Active Image Version Number After Reboot—Displays the firmware 
version of the active image after reboot.
STEP  2 Select the image from the Active Image After Reboot drop-down menu to 
identify the firmware image that is used as the active image after the switch is 
rebooted. 
STEP  3 Click Apply. 
STEP  4 Reboot the switch. The switch will boot with the selected active image. 
Download/Backup Configuration or Logs
The Download/Backup Configuration/Log page enables: 
• Backing up of configuration files or logs from the switch to an external 
device.
• Restoring configuration files from an external device to the switch. 
When restoring a configuration file to the Running Configuration, the imported file 
adds any configuration commands that do not exist in the old file and overwrites 
any parameter values in the existing configuration commands.
