Switch Information 3-29
3.4 Viewing Switch Firmware Information
The switch can store (retain) two software versions (primary and secondary). Information supporting the two
versions displays within the Firmware screen. The Version column displays the version string. The Build
Time is the date and time each version was generated. Install represents the date and time the upgrade
was performed. Next Boot indicates which version should be used on the next reboot. The Next Boot version
should match the Running Version, unless the system has failed over to another version.
To view the firmware files available to the switch:
1. Select Switch > Firmware from the main menu tree.
2. Refer to the following information displayed within the Firmware screen:
Image Displays whether a firmware image is the primary image or a secondary image.
The primary image is typically the image loaded when the switch boots.
Version Displays a unique alphanumeric version for each firmware file listed.
Current Boot A check mark within this column designates this version as the version used by the
switch the last time it was booted. An “X” in this column means this version was
not used the last time the switch was booted.
Next Boot A check mark within this column designates this version as the version to be used
the next time the switch is booted. An “X” in this column means this version will
not be used the next time the switch is booted. To change the boot designation,
highlight an image and click the Edit button.
Built Time Displays the time the version was created (built). Do not confuse the Built Time
with the time the firmware was last loaded on the switch.
Install Time The Install Time is the time this version was loaded with on the switch.
Periodically review this information to assess the relevance of older files.
