（Optional）Push Image before Upgrade

Usually, the upgrade image needs to be copied to the switch during the upgrade process, and it takes up a lot of upgrade time. AmpCon supports to push image to switch before upgrade, thus to save upgrade time, making the switch upgrade process more flexible and controllable.

The image can be pushed in two ways: based on a single switch or based on a switch group.

1.  Push image based on a single switch.

 Select Lifecycle > Upgrade Firmware menu, Click Image Added in “Operation” column, to push the corresponding image file to switch.
