File Management

The system maintains two versions of the GS748T software in permanent storage. One
image is the active image, and the second image is the backup image. The active image is
loaded during subsequent switch restarts. This feature reduces switch down time when
upgrading or downgrading the GS748T software.
The File Management menu contains links to the following options:

Dual Image Configuration

• Dual Image Status
Dual Image Configuration
The system running a legacy software version will ignore (not load) a configuration file
created by the newer software version. When a configuration file created by the newer
software version is discovered by the system running an older version of the software, the
system will display an appropriate warning to the user.
Use the Dual Image Configuration page to set the boot image, configure an image
description, or delete an image.
To display the Dual Image Configuration page, click Maintenance > File Management > Dual
Image > Dual Image Configuration.
