Please advise where I can download the cisco IOS15 flash update, urgently required for the latest ios commands

I have a ccna lab purchased from Ebay comprising of 

Two Catalyst 2950 switches

Three Cisco routers 2600

Please advise, if these older models will take the IOS 15 flash update.

Hello @stevenlaudat03,

The Cisco Catalyst 2950 switches and Cisco 2600 routers are older models that were released before the IOS 15 software versions became available. As a result, these devices do not officially support IOS 15.

Unfortunately there is no more IOS available at Cisco's site to download for the 2600 router and 2950 series switches. They are very old, end of life and support.

Dear Cisco Community

If you go to Cisco's main site, select support, for any router or switch listed, check available software downloads.  That will answer your question.

However, you'll usually need a maintenance contract for the specific device to download the Cisco software.

Thanks you Dear Cisco community.

After evaluation.
It seems far more cost saving to subscribe to the
The Cisco Virl simulator.
I am about to access the beginners utube tutorial to properly evaluate.

As most org’s are moving into the cloud, having equipment going out
Of useful life appears to be like just throwing money away unnecessarily.

Really appreciated. could you recommend a suitable compatibility switches, and routers please, required to build my cisco lab. So much easier to ask the cisco community, and not to assume, I can see IOS 15.9 has been released.
