Image Files - Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch 6850-48 Getting Started Manual

Image Files

Image files (those files with .img extensions) contain an
executable code that provides support for the system, Ethernet
ports, and network functions. In other words, they serve as
essential drivers for switch and network operations.
Although these files may be backed up to the root flash direc-
tory or any user-defined subdirectory, they must be present in
the /flash/working and /flash/certified directories for the
switch to operate and pass traffic.
If you delete all copies of an image file, you will be required to
contact Alcatel-Lucent Customer Support for replacements.
Therefore, it is recommended that you keep backup copies on
your computer's hard drive or a locally-accessible server.
