Anyone got WS-C2960-8TC-L (k9) firmware ?

[davidnghk]

I am new to Cisco.

just bough a second hand Cisco Catalyst 2960-8TC-L

Configuration register is 0xF

I run below command, but it generated an error.

I search the internet, it said my firmware does not contain k9 in it, so it does not have the http function.

conf t 

ip http secure-server

I try to find the firmware on cisco website, just can't seems to find it.

could someone kind enough to send me the above switch firmware that contain the k9 ?

any "SW Version" will do. (best would be c2960-lanbasek9-mz.122-46.SE.bin)

please zip it or tar it or md5 it.

thank you so much.

sorry I thought its 2960C.

your best best of to google it, you might find if someone shared privately, if you find there would be no way to verify actual Cisco hash for the image so it would be risky.

2960 firmware can be downloaded from:  12.5(55)SE12 or 15.0(2)SE11

Yes, they do.

[davidnghk]

I just flash the 24 port firmware to a 8 port switch, and it is working.

I flash this one c2960-lanbasek9-mz.122-46.SE.bin

I hope this switch is deployed in an air-gapped network.

[davidnghk]
