Suggested or Latest IOS

[Freihafener]

I would like to update my 2960s etc. again. Actually we are running 15.0(2)SE4.

I have seen that cisco added the suggested ios version - so I could choose the 150 SE6 or the suggested 12.2(55)SE9. Cisco describes the supported image as "Cisco Suggested release based on software quality, stability and longevity."

I know that cisco uses us as bug tester so the older ios version of a cisco product is generally more stable. I have accepted the risk but now I am a little douptful if I should "role back" to 12...

Any experience or advise?

Hi,

Kindly use IOS that is before 12.2 (58), as there are memory leak bug for 2960 switches after this coding.

Memory-bugs - even in 15.x?

Hi,

The 15.x train has a very high memory consumption as compared to the 12.x train and that too with loads of memory bugs, better stick to 12.x train.

Thanks
