Hi
we are introducing Cisco ISE 2.2 to a new environment where all access switches are C2960. I was looking for the best compatible IOS that supports ISE and I found that Cisco recommends 12.2(55) SE10. I already have upgraded the switches to 12.2(55) SE11.
I am wondering if it is better to use IOS 15.0.2-SE10a (which is recommended by Cisco for C2960-S) as it supports device-sensor feature.
Or it is more stable to stick with Cisco validated IOS for lanbase switches to avoid crashes and performance issues.
please advise...
