IOS 15 for 2960 and 3560/3750 platforms

[Nathan Spitzer]

Yesterday Cisco released IOS 15 code into the wild for the 2960 and 3560/3750 families but the link to the release notes is not working. Because I already have a whole bunch of 4500/Sup7's running IOS 15 I am thinking about taking the plunge with 30 3750-X's I have on order but want to review the release notes first. Does anybody know where they might be hiding?

Thanks

Does this mean WS-C3560, WS-C3750 are not going to get IOS 15? Only the enhanced versions -X, -G, -E will get IOS 15?

Yes and No.  Let me explain:

The first generation of 3560 and 3750 came with just 16 Mb of flash.  Unfortunately, IOS versions 12.2(58)SEx and 15.0(1)SEx requires a minimum of 24 Mb flash.

So, unless your appliance has 24 Mb flash, the highest IOS you can load into them is 12.2(55)SEx.

Believe that model is end-of-life, and it may have gone EoL before 15.x, which could explain why you don't see any 15.x code for it.
