Operations, Administration, and Maintenance
Table 12 lists the individual Dell PowerConnect switches and the operations, administration, and
maintenance features they support.
Overview
For easy software image management, all Dell PowerConnect devices support the download and
upload of software images between the flash modules on the devices and a Trivial File Transfer
Protocol (TFTP) server on the network.
Dell PowerConnect devices have two flash memory modules:
• Primary flash – The default local storage device for image files and configuration files.
• Secondary flash – A second flash storage device. You can use the secondary flash to store
redundant images for additional booting reliability or to preserve one software image while
testing another one.
Only one flash device is active at a time. By default, the primary image will become active upon
reload.
