2950 switch question

crisb20

Will IOS Enterprise 12.1.22 IOS on a 2650 switch support all the features for the CCNA? I still have a long ways to go before completing the CCNA, but I am almost to the point where I will need to begin some hands on training with a switch. I have seen a lot of threads about the router IOS's, but not a lot about the IOS's that are loaded on the switches. I read that the 2950 is the ideal piece of hardware, but is the 12.1.22 IOS the ideal software? By the way this is my first post and I would like to thank everyone on here for sharing all your knowledge and this by far one of the better forums on the net.

Hi crisb20,

That IOS is the last one for the 2950 switch, that is what i'm running right now and is good for the CCNA cert, it supports ssh v2 and more.

Cisco switch software can be downloaded freely from Cisco with a guest level account.

Hi;

If you need new IOS for your switch just go to cisco.com and you can download it for free, you don't need contract like router IOS.

Also a new version has been realesed but is not available for download yet:

12.1(22)EA11

Hope this help.
