I understand I need an IP Services Image. Can I upgrade to: c3560-ipservicesk9-mz.122-50.SE.bin?

If not, does anyone know which IOS file I can upgrade to, to use OSPF?

Mike,

Actually, You can upgrade the new version of the same IOS feature set, IPBase as long as services(aka SMBSA) you bought at the first time.

In case you want to upgrade to the new ios feature set like IPService. You need to pay for that.

My 2 cents,

Toshi

Mike,

IPservice image is what you need. Yes,You can upgrade.

Note: Just to make sure that you got that image from the right place.

You do need IP Services. You can choose any release as long as you get the right feature set so yes you could go for c3560-ipservicesk9-mz.122-50.SE.bin but you could just as easily upgrade to the IP Services Feature set of the current IOS version you are running, up to you really.

Note that there will be an additional cost to go to IP Services from IP Base.

I haven't been able to find the IP Services for the current IOS version.

When you say "cost", do you mean a price to pay to upgrade, or the effect it will have on the switch when I do upgrade?

Yes, seems like it's not available. Any IP Services will do though.

Cost as in money unfortunately.

"Cost as in money unfortunately."

I was able to download: c3560-ipservicesk9-mz.122-50.SE.bin for free from Cisco. The .bin file is all I need right?

Jon Marshall · ‎04-13-2009

Mike

Yes the .bin file is all you need. There is nothing to stop you downloading from Cisco but that doesn't mean it's free. You should talk to your Cisco reseller if you have one.

Ahh..I see. Thanks.

Please perform a "dir all-files"

You need a minimum of 128MB of DRAM and 16MB of Flash.

cisco WS-C3560-24TS (PowerPC405) processor (revision D0) with 118784K/12280K bytes of memory

This shows that total DRAM. You add them together to get about 240MB of RAM.

The "dir all-files" will show you how much Flash you are using and what you have left.

HTH

[EDIT] I kept my response window open for so long as I ate lunch that I didnt know that a hundred people answered already. LOL

But he does need to check his Flash, though.

The sh ver only shows DRAM, not flash.

Victor,

That's fine. As long as you had lunch and got full after that. (grin)

Mike,

Your flash space is okay. Like Jon mentioned, you need to contract re-seller. It's not free anyway.

Thanks for the quick response guys. Much appreciated!!!

lamav · ‎04-13-2009

You should have shown your appreciation by jazzing us all up with 5 points each :-)

lamav · ‎04-13-2009

LOL..whats up, Toshi.

Actually, lunch wasnt that great. Just some carrots, an apple and a banana...
