IOS XE upgrade on 4500-x

[johnelliot6]

Hi,

Have a new 4500-x (Comes with IPBase enabled), but I see only universal image is available for download  (Which I understand has "all" features)...assume it is safe to use the latest universal image on 4500-x and the IPBase license will be automatically applied?

I also see there is a new rom upgrade available - Is this the correct procedure to follow:

Should I be doing the rom upgrade first?

Cheers.

1.  License - Your license (IP Base) will remain the same.  Besides, you can't go any LOWER than IP Base. 

2.  Bootstrap - Copy the IOS into your 4500X but DO NOT reboot the appliance.  Run the bootstrap upgrade and then you'll be given a "y/n" prompt.  Choose "y" and the bootstrap will be installed and the appliance will reboot.

Read the Release Notes first so you'll know what caveats are addressed and pending.
