Working and Certified Are Different
If the software in the
/flash/working
directory differs
even
slightly
from the software in the
/flash/certified
directory, the
switch will automatically run from the
/flash/certified
direc-
tory
When the switch runs from the
/flash/certified
directory,
configuration changes
cannot
be saved via the
write memory
command
My Working and Certified directories are different. Can
I force a reboot from the Working directory?
Yes. If its configuration and image files are known to be reli-
able, you can override the default and initiate a reboot from the
/flash/working
directory. This is done via the
reload
working
command. For more information, refer to your
CLI
Reference Guide
