CAT9300/9400/9500/9600 UNIVERSAL - NO PAYLOAD ENCRYPTION

[Xebato]

Hi,
I am trying to download the software for our C9606R switch, since we have already used the following release
(Release Cupertino-17.9.5 ) on our 9000 series switches, so I am trying to find the same release for the C9606R switch. Now I can only see the NO PAYLOAD ENCRYPTION software for this model and my question is why Cisco is not offering the encrypted version as well for the recumended Cupertino-17.9.5 release ? Is there a reason for that ?

The filename "cat9k_iosxe.17.09.05.SPA.bin" support encryption.

Hi Leo, Thanks for the answer, do you know why cisco has lsited only the version with (No payload) as the recommended version for this model and not both (With) and (Without) Palyload ?

IOS-XE version 17.9.5 is a "star" release and includes both PE & NPE version.
