Determining Whether the Flash Images Are Different Versions. If the
flash image sizes in primary and secondary are the same, then in almost every
case, the primary and secondary images are identical. This command provides
a comparison of flash image sizes, plus the boot ROM version and from which
flash image the switch booted. For example, in the following case, the images
are different versions of the OS software (flash image) and the switch is
running on the version stored in the secondary flash image:

Determining Which Flash Image Versions Are Installed. The
sion command displays which software version the switch is currently running
and whether that version booted from primary or secondary flash. Thus, if the
switch booted from primary flash, you will see the version number of the OS
image stored in primary flash, and if the switch booted from secondary flash,
you will see the version number of the OS version stored in secondary flash.
