N o t e
Downloading new software does not change the current switch configuration. The switch configu-
ration is contained in a separate file that can also be transferred, for example, for archive purposes
or to be used in another switch of the same model.
This section describes how to use the CLI to download software to the switch. You can also use the
menu interface for software downloads. For more information, refer to the Management and
Configuration Guide for your switch.
