The Dual Image Status feature allows the switch to have two 200 Series software images in the permanent storage. One image is the active image, and the second image is the backup. This feature reduces the system down-time during upgrades and downgrades. You can use the Dual Image Status page to view information about the system images on the device.
To access this page, click System > Firmware > Status in the navigation menu.
