Software information
The Aruba 501 maintains both an active software image and a backup image. The Aruba 501 always tries to boot
with the active image. If it fails to load, the backup image is used. Whenever such a failover occurs, the system
creates a log message to help you troubleshoot the software failure.
The Software information area shows the active image and backup image versions. To make the backup image
the active image, and the active image the backup image, click Switch.
