explanation on the switch sw configuration

[Mayur_Rakthe]

Hi All,

I am new to the extreme switch configuration. Can u pls help in understanding the sh switch command ,

Current State: OPERATIONAL
Image Selected: primary
Image Booted: primary
Primary ver: 16.1.3.6
patch1-8
Secondary ver: 15.5.2.9

Config Selected: secondary.cfg
Config Booted: secondary.cfg

secondary.cfg Created by ExtremeXOS version 16.1.3.6


What's the difference between Image Selected/Image booted and config selected/config booted.

Regards,

Mayur

Hi Mayur,

Image Selected = the image/software that is used the next time i.e. after a reboot
Image Booted - the image that was used during the last reboot/boot of the device = currently loaded software

The same goes for the configuration files.

For example you'd now load a newer software in the secondary image slot and in a week choose the image slot as the primary and reboot the device to upgrade the switch.
