• 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.
Downloading/Uploading System Files
System files can be manually loaded from (downloaded) or copied to
(uploaded) a TFTP server. This can be done in one of the following ways:
• Manually—System files can be downloaded using the
File Download
page

page.
•

downloaded automatically, as follows:
–

Configuration file (in various conditions described below) might be
automatically updated after reboot.
–
