Upgrading/Saving the Firmware Image
There are two firmware images, Image1 and Image2, stored on the switch. One of
the images is identified as the active image and other image is identified as the
inactive image.
When you upgrade the firmware, the new image always replaces the image
identified as the inactive image. Even after uploading new firmware on the switch,
the switch continues to boot by using the active image (the old version) until you
change the status of the new image to be the active image by using the procedure
described in the
section, and boot the switch by using the process
described in the
section.
You can also save a copy of the active image on the switch to a destination
location such as a TFTP server.
