Redundant images in firmware
The GbE2 Interconnect Switch can store up to two different software images, called image1 and image2, as well as
boot software, called boot. When you download new software, you are given the ability to specify where it is to be
placed: either into image1, image2, or boot.
For example, if your active image is currently loaded into image1, you should probably load the new image software
into image2. This lets you test the new software and revert back to the original image stored in image1, if needed.
CAUTION: Unlike the firmware that has two images, there is only one image of boot supported. Upgrading the
boot image replaces the original boot image.
