Update Manager
Update Manager enables a new image or configuration file to be uploaded from the local system or
network to the switch. To access this page, click Maintenance > Update Manager in the navigation pane.
Update Manager displays different options depending on the transfer protocol, file or image type
selected for an update. In the example in Figure 10-2, the inactive (or “Backup”) image on the switch
is being updated with the file named switchdrvr.stk from a TFTP server. For example, if the image1
file is being used as the currently-active image running on the switch, then the image2 file is the backup
file to be updated.
