I've been working on Cisco Routers/Switches/ASA's for a while now, but I have never looked into upgrading the IOS, since all my equipment has had what I needed. Now I have ran into needing an upgrade, I know how to do this, but I'm not actually sure where to get the IOS' from. I've seen a lot of threads about uploading through FTP and TFTP. Just wondering where you got your images from?

You do.
LAN Access Switch and Access Point images had been available in the past with a guest level Cisco account -- but I'm not sure if that changed when Cisco announced they would track downloads (starting in January 2011) to insure people were only downloading images they had a SmartNet contract for.:mike: Cisco Certifications -- Collect the Entire Set! -

If they do, I suggest checking the IOS version on them. This is how I got the 12.4 ver IOS. I didn't just copy the IOS. I brought the 26XX XM router for like $15. Sometimes companies with an account with the e-recycle company donate the networking equipment to have it destroyed at the e-recycle company. So it might be tough to get your hands on some gear.Booya!!
