File Management

The system maintains two versions of the FS728TP 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 FS728TP software.
The File Management menu contains links to the following options:
•

Dual Image Configuration
