Cisco 2500 IOS?

[carloswill]

I purchased a Cisco router (2514)from eBay and it came with everything to hook this router up however I was wondering how I can tell what IOS it is running and how I can see what the latest version IOS is available for this router? The documentaion that came w/ the router shows a software v. of 12.2, ROM System Bootstrap v. 11.0(10c) but that means nothing to me since I am kind of jumping in head first.

I found this URL but can't find the info I was looking for unless I missed it.

Thanks for any help.

Try the "show version" command and see the output to check IOS version.
