Cisco 4507 w/SUP7 Software Help

[jfraasch]

I just got my first SUP7 with the 4507R+E and now I need software.

I am not sure why I can't find what I need.  Basically I need OSPF and EIGRP and encryption.  That would be the enterprise version but is this no longer in the regular IOS section anymore? I have been hunting for an hour and don't seem to find any software for the 4507 with the SUP7.

Does it change?

The Sup7-E uses IOS XE software. Go to this page and then select the "IOS XE Software" link -

also be aware that the licensing is now done using software activation rather than feature sets ie. you download a universal IOS that contains all the feature sets and then you use a software activation license key to choose which feature set to run. See this link for more details -

Thanks!  I was just finding this on my own. Appreciate the link and help.

They make it more difficult, but much more clean for the future I suppose.

Unfortunately, I bought only the base image and need to upgrade to the enterprise.  $6k later and I should be good to go. That's why they make corporate American Express cards, right?

Thanks again.
