Downloading an ExtremeWare XOS core image. An ExtremeWare XOS core image uses the file

the switch. Enter

to install the image after download. Enter
n
to install the image at a later time.
If you download and install the software image on the active partition, you need to reboot the switch.

To install a module to the inactive partition, use the

module to the inactive partition, and use the

must be of the same version as the module. When you make the inactive partition active, by issuing the
use image
command and rebooting the switch, the module is also activated at boot time.
To install a module to the active partition, use the
