Scenario 4: Rollback to Previous Version of <strong>Switch</strong> Software<br />

Later that year, a software upgrade is performed. The network administrator loads the new software via<br />

FTP to the working directory and reboots the switch from that directory. Since the switch is specifically<br />

booted from the working directory, the switch is running from the working directory.<br />

After the reboot loads the new software from the working directory, it is discovered that an image file was<br />

corrupted during the FTP transfer. Rather than having a disabled switch, the network administrator can<br />

reboot the switch from the certified directory (which has the previous, more reliable version of the software)<br />

and wait for a new version. In the meantime, the administrator’s switch is still functioning.<br />

This is illustrated below:<br />
