Distributing System
Images
You can distribute a system image to one or more WX switches in a
network plan.
To use a new system image, you must reboot the WX.

configuration errors or warnings before you distribute system images.
Before you can distribute an image, you must add it to the image
repository. (See “Using the Image Repository” on page 159.)
