Manage Software Images
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

upgrading or downgrading the switch software.
A legacy software version can ignore (that is, might not load) a configuration file 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.
