Upgrading IOS....Any Alternative?

Nafe92014

Hey all,

So I have decided to upgrade the IOS on my gear from 12.2 to 15.0(M). Looked at Ciscos's website and they only have version 12 for my switches (no contract), but with a slightly different version. As for my routers, my instructor accidentally put the image on the CF for a 2801, not the 2811 one. So were going to see if the college has a IOS backup somewhere for my particular model. Has anyone managed to get a contract or IOS updates without having to be part of a business?

You don't have to be part of a business, but you do need a support contract.
