Multiple Image Services

The Multiple Image Services folder allows users of the xStack family of switches to configure and view information regarding
firmware located on the Switch. The Switch allows two firmware images to be stored in its memory and either can be configured
to be the boot up firmware for the Switch. For information regarding firmware images located on the Switch, open the Firmware
Information link. The default setting for the Switch's firmware will have the boot up firmware stored in Image 1, but the user
may set either firmware stored to be the boot up firmware by using the Config Firmware Image window.
