Upgrade/Backup Firmware/Language
The Upgrade/Backup Firmware/Language process can be used to:
• Upgrade or backup the firmware image
• Upgrade or backup the boot code
• Import a new language file or upgrade an existing language file 
The following methods for transferring files are supported: 
• HTTP that uses the facilities provided by the browser
• TFTP that requires a TFTP server 
If a new language file was loaded onto the switch, the new language can be 
selected from the drop-down menu. (It is not necessary to reboot the switch.)
The Upgrade/Backup Firmware/Language page can also be accessed by 
selecting Add New Language in the Language drop down menu on every page.
Uploading a New Firmware or Language File
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. 
When you upgrade the firmware, the new image is always replaces the image 
identified as the inactive image.
