When you download a software image, you are asked if you want to install the image immediately after
the download is finished. If you choose to install the image at a later time, use this command to install
the software on the switch.
The software image file can be a .xos file, which contains an ExtremeWare XOS core image, or a .xmod
file, which contains additional functionality to supplement a core image.
Displaying the Software Image Versions.
To display the software image version running on the switch,
use the
show version
or
show switch
commands.
