Software Upgrade
3Com recommends that you install system software upgrades as soon as
you receive them. After you install the software, you must reboot the
system to initialize the new software.
As part of the upgrade and reboot process, you can choose to use your
existing configuration data with the new version of the software or use a
new database. In either case, the system uses the original configuration
data with the previous version of software. The NBX NetSet utility allows
you to choose which software version to use when you reboot the
system. The ability to select which version to boot allows you to restore
an earlier operating environment (both software and configuration data)
if you need to.
