58 Switch Feature Overview
IPv6 Management Features
Dell Networking series switches provide IPv6 support for many standard
management features including HTTP, HTTPS/SSL, Telnet, SSH, SNMP,
SNTP, TFTP, and traceroute on both the in-band and out-of-band
management ports.
Dual Software Images
Dell Networking series switches can store up to two software images. The dual
image feature allows you to upgrade the switch without deleting the older
software image. You designate one image as the active image and the other
image as the backup image.
For information about managing the switch image, see "Managing Images
and Files" on page 359.
File Management
You can upload and download files such as configuration files and system
images by using HTTP (web only), TFTP, Secure FTP (SFTP), or Secure
Copy (SCP). Configuration file uploads from the switch to a server are a good
way to back up the switch configuration. You can also download a
configuration file from a server to the switch to restore the switch to the
configuration in the downloaded file.
You can also copy files to and from a USB Flash drive that is plugged into the
USB port on the front panel of the switch or automatically upgrade a switch
by booting it with a newer firmware image on a USB drive plugged in to the
switch.
For information about uploading, downloading, and copying files, see
"Managing Images and Files" on page 359.
Switch Database Management Templates
Switch Database Management (SDM) templates enable you to reallocate
system resources to support a different mix of features based on your network
requirements. Dell Networking series switches support the following three
templates:
• Dual IPv4 and IPv6 (default)
•IPv4 Routing
