addition, auto detection of the multicast router port and manual configuration of the multicast router port is supported. For efficient multicast traffic management, the IGMP Filtering option is supported. Jumbo frames By default, the switch supports jumbo frames up to 9216 bytes, which help reduce - HP 438031-B21 | HP 1:10Gb Ethernet BL-c Switch User Guide - Page 15
Redundant images in firmware The switch stores up to two different software images, called image stored in image1, if needed. CAUTION: Unlike the firmware that has two images, there is only one image of boot supported. Upgrading the boot image replaces the original boot image.
