Netgear GS716Tv3 – ProSAFE 16-Port Gigabit Managed Switch Guia Do Administrador

The system maintains two versions of the switch software in permanent storage. One image 
is the active image, and the second image is the backup image. The active image is loaded 
during subsequent switch restarts. This feature reduces switch down time when upgrading or 
downgrading the switch software.

A legacy software version will ignore (not load) a configuration file created that is created by a 
newer software version. When a configuration file created by the newer software version is 
discovered by the system running an older version of the software, the system displays an 
appropriate warning to the user.

The File Management menu contains links to the features described in the following sections.

Use the Copy screen to copy an image from one location (primary or backup) to another.
