Hi,

I have a Catalyst 6509 switch, which has "cat6000-supk8.8-2-1.bin" CatOS running. I would like to install an IOS in this switch. Can anyone let me know which IOS version is compatible with this switch? Below is the switch information. Thanks!

Don

I may be off base here, but with sup1a and msfc2, it seems to be limited to something along the lines of 12.1(20)E (due to CSCeb35612) and up. 12.2.x seems out of the question.

Thanks for the info yidabear!

Glad to help, Don! Just came across the following site that offered a working combo. Might need to doublecheck the code's compatibility with the two types of line cards you have though:
