Image0)
When a new software image file is downloaded to the switch, it replaces the
non-active file. For example, if the switch has booted from Image0, the new
downloaded file replaces Image1. Also, the new software file is automatically set as
the boot image.
Web – Click SYSTEM, Tools, Set Boot Image. Select the software image file to boot
after the next switch reset. Click APPLY, then reset the switch.

Static MAC
Switches store the MAC addresses for all known devices in the attached network.
This information is used to forward traffic directly between the inbound and outbound
ports. All the MAC addresses learned by monitoring traffic are stored in a dynamic
address table, which removes (ages out) any addresses that are not “seen” for a
specified time period .
