Working and Certified Are Different
If the software in the /flash/working directory differs even
slightly from the software in the /flash/certified directory, the
switch will automatically run from the /flash/certified direc-
tory
When the switch runs from the /flash/certified directory,
configuration changes cannot be saved via the write memory
command
My Working and Certified directories are different. Can
I force a reboot from the Working directory?
Yes. If its configuration and image files are known to be reli-
able, you can override the default and initiate a reboot from the
/flash/working directory. This is done via the reload
working command. For more information, refer to your CLI
Reference Guide.
Note. For detailed information on using directories, refer
to the Switch Management Guide.
