GS716Tv2 and GS724Tv3 Software Administration Manual
7-10 Maintenance
v1.0, July 2009
File Management
The system maintains two versions of the GS716T/GS724T software in permanent storage. One
image is the active image, and the second image is the backup image. The active image is loaded
during subsequent switch restarts. This feature reduces switch down time when upgrading or
downgrading the GS716T/GS724T software.
The File Management menu contains links to the following options:
• “Dual Image Configuration” on page 7-10
• “Viewing the Dual Image Status” on page 7-12
Dual Image Configuration
The system running an older software version will ignore (not load) a configuration file created by
the newer software version. When a configuration file created by the newer software version is
discovered by the system running an older version of the software, the system will display an
appropriate warning to the user.
Use the Dual Image Configuration page to set the boot image.
To display the Dual Image Configuration page:
Note: After a file transfer is started, please wait until the page refreshes. When the page
refreshes, the “Select File” option will be blanked out. This indicates that the file
transfer is done.
