IOS Versions ADV. IP SERVICES or ADVANCED IP SERVIES

[mark.cronin]

I am in the process of selecting an

IOS for our 877 & 1801 routers, I will need features from IP Advanced Services. When I look on the Cisco upgrade planner I get options for feature sets of

ADV. IP SERVICES

&

ADVANCED IP SERVICES

Are they the same?

Whats the difference?

Which one would you choose for a production

environment T XC or YT?

Are you using 12.4 or are you still running 12.3?

Hi, when you have to choose an IOS version try to get a GD (General Deploymen, A major release of Cisco IOS Software reaches the "General Deployment" milestone when Cisco feels it is suitable for deployment anywhere in customer networks where the features and functionality of the release are required), so if you don't have a GD at 12.4 use a 12.3 version.

Would you use

12.3.14-YT1 (ED)

rather than

12.4.9T2

[icabrera]

Hi, if both versions are ED and you don't have another option I'll probably use 12.4.9T2
