Foundry Switch and Router Installation and Configuration Guide
8 - 2 December 2000
Flash Images
The flash image (system software) that is running on a device determines the software features that are supported
by that device. Table 8.1 on page 8-2 lists the flash images that can be used on each Foundry device.
Notice that some devices can run either switch code or router code. For these devices, one type of code is always
installed at the factory by default. These devices can be reconfigured to run the other code by installing the
software and, in some cases, installing a firmware upgrade. Contact Foundry Networks or your reseller for details.
NOTE: Some features are supported only on specific products or require specific hardware configurations. See
the chapters describing those features or contact Foundry Networks or your reseller for information.
