I have a Cisco Router 881 with c880data-universalk9-mz.150-1.M7.bin IOS file. I want to upgrade to the latest IOS
c880data-universalk9-mz.152-4.M2.bin. But when I upload the file, it appears the message
The selected file c880data-universalk9-mz.152-4.M2.bin is not compatible with this router model.
Does anyone know what it is because?
Thanks in advance for helping me.

I use the Cisco Configuration Professional to upload the new file. When I try to upload apears the warning box saying:
The selected file c880data-universalk9-mz.152-4.M2.bin is not compatible with this router model. Do you want to continue copy operation?

Try using CLI. The command is: copy tftp://

I can copy the file using CLI, but I am not sure that the file is compatible or not with my router. I have the possibility to copy with CCP, clicking Yes to the question "The selected file c880data-universalk9-mz.152-4.M2.bin is not compatible with this router model. Do you want to continue copy operation?"
