Upgrade/Backup Firmware/Language
The Upgrade/Backup Firmware/Language process can be used to:
• Upgrade or backup the firmware image
• Upgrade or backup the boot code
• Import a new language file or upgrade an existing language file
The following methods for transferring files are supported:
• HTTP that uses the facilities provided by the browser
• TFTP that requires a TFTP server
If a new language file was loaded onto the switch, the new language can be
selected from the drop-down menu. (It is not necessary to reboot the switch.)
The Upgrade/Backup Firmware/Language page can also be accessed by
selecting Add New Language in the Language drop down menu on every page.
Uploading a New Firmware or Language File
There are two firmware images, Image1 and Image2, stored on the switch. One of
the images is identified as the active image and other image is identified as the
inactive image.
When you upgrade the firmware, the new image is always replaces the image
identified as the inactive image.
