Update/Configuration Feature" on page 184 for more information about

how to perform this automatically.

Image Files—Files with extension .ros. System file images are saved in two

flash files called Image 1 and Image 2. The active image

contains the

active copy, while the other image contains a backup copy. The device

boots and runs from the active

image. If the active image is corrupted, the

system automatically boots from the non-active image. This is a safety

feature for faults occurring during the software upgrade process.

(uploaded) a TFTP server. This can be done in one of the following ways:

Manually—System files can be downloaded using the

downloaded automatically, as follows:
