This displays which firmware is currently in use on the Switch (Firmware 1 or Firmware 2).
Select which firmware (Firmware 1 or Firmware 2) should load, click Apply and reboot the
Switch to see changes, you will also see changes in the Current Boot Image field above as
well.
Click Apply to save your changes to the Switch's run-time memory. The Switch loses these

save your changes to the non-volatile memory when you are done configuring.
Click Cancel to begin configuring this screen afresh.
Choose to upload the new firmware to (Firmware) 1 or (Firmware) 2.
Type the path and file name of the firmware file you wish to upload to the Switch in the File
Path text box or click Choose File to locate it.
Click Upgrade to load the new firmware. Firmware upgrades are only applied after a
reboot. To reboot, go to Management > Maintenance > Reboot System and click Config 1
or Config 2 (Config 1 and Config 2 are the configuration files you want the Switch to use
