Firmware Management
Use this page to manually update the firmware on the switch. The image selected when loading the page is the active image. If the firmware fails to boot, the switch uses the other image as a failsafe.
Pro Tip: -_ Use OvrC to confirm if the switch is up to date. If not, click the Update button for OvrC to update the switch to the latest firmware. OvrC automatically switches between the active and backup images when performing upgrades.
Note: -__.You can use either image to update the switch. OvrC always updates the inactive partition.
