Catalyst 3548xl IOS

[richard.moore11]

I am a student trying to achieve my CCNA. I am collecting a few pieces to practice on and got a Catalyst 3548xl switch. I believe the IOS needs to be reloaded but I haven't been able to find one to download. Where can I get one? As an alternative, will a 3560 series IOS run on the 3548?

Thanks

Cisco IOS is per platform. So you can't load an IOS from a 3560 to a 3548. 

3548 is very old and you may not be able to find a newer IOS for it.
