For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

Active Image Selection on Sx500 Series Stackable Switches

Objective

The Sx500 Series Stackable Switch allows you to store multiple firmware images. One of the images is identified as the active image and the others are identified as inactive images. If the firmware of the switch is upgraded, the new image gets added to the image directory. However, the switch uses the current active image (the old version) until the status of the new image is changed to the active image. This article explains how to select the active image on Sx500 Series Stackable Switches.

Note: For stackable switches, the active image is indicated per each stack unit.

Applicable Devices

• Sx500 Series Stackable Switches
