S3300 Smart Managed Pro Switch
File Management
The system maintains two versions of the switch 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 switch software.
A legacy software version will ignore (not load) a configuration file created that is created by
a 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 displays an
appropriate warning to the user.
The File Management menu contains links to the features described in the following sections.
• Copy on page 303
• Dual Image on page 303
