232 Summit 200 Series Switch Installation and User Guide
Software Upgrade and Boot Options
The switch can store up to two images: a primary and a secondary. When you download a new image,
you must select into which image space (primary or secondary) the new image should be placed. If you
do select not an image space, the system uses the primary image space.
Rebooting the Switch
To reboot the switch, use the following command:
reboot {time <date> <time> | cancel}
where:
If you do not specify a reboot time, the reboot occurs immediately following the command, and any
previously scheduled reboots are cancelled. To cancel a previously scheduled reboot, use the
cancel
option.
Saving Configuration Changes
The configuration is the customized set of parameters that you have selected to run on the switch. As
you make configuration changes, the new settings are stored in run-time memory. Settings that are
stored in run-time memory are not retained by the switch when the switch is rebooted. To retain the
settings, and have them load when you reboot the switch, you must save the configuration to
nonvolatile storage.
The switch can store two different configurations: a primary and a secondary. When you save
configuration changes, you can select into which configuration area you want the changes saved. If you
do not specify the configuration area, the changes are saved to the configuration area currently in use.
If you have made a mistake, or you must revert to the configuration as it was before you started
making changes, you can tell the switch to use the secondary configuration on the next reboot.
To save the configuration, use the following command:
save {configuration} {primary | secondary}
To use the configuration, use the following command:
use configuration [primary | secondary]
The configuration takes effect on the next reboot.
NOTE
If the switch is rebooted while in the middle of a configuration save, the switch boots to factory default
settings. The configuration that is not in the process of being saved is unaffected.
