Firmware bank management
The Branch Gateway has two firmware banks:
• Bank A
• Bank B
Each firmware bank contains a version of the Branch Gateway firmware. These may be
different versions. The purpose of this feature is to provide software redundancy. If one of the
versions becomes corrupted, you can reset the Branch Gateway using the other version. This
is particularly important when downloading new versions.
Displaying firmware versions in the banks
Procedure
Use the show image version command to display the firmware version of the image
on both memory banks of the Branch Gateway.
Bank management changes
By default, when you turn on or reset the Branch Gateway, the Branch Gateway loads firmware
from Bank B. To change the default bank from which firmware is loaded during startup, use
the set boot bank command. For example, to configure the Branch Gateway to load
firmware from Bank A on startup, enter set boot bank bank-A. Now, when you reset the
Branch Gateway, it will load firmware from Bank A.
