What you're talking about are simply patch levels. It's certainly possible that the 5.x and 6.x versions are both being actively maintained (I haven't been paying much attention to 5.x since moving to 6.x). The "most recent" release or patch is relative to the version of software you're running. IOW, if 5.1(8)E1 is released tomorrow, 6.0(3)E1 is still the most current patch for customers running 6.x.</P></BODY></HTML> Tue, 12 Feb 2008 15:56:00 GMT https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-security/ips-software-version/m-p/830968#M84657 mhellman 2008-02-12T15:56:00Z
