Is this correct ISO upgrade?  Cisco hasnt put out an update since 2008?

Thanks

John,

That is correct. You are using Sup32.  The Sup is end of life and there is no more new IOS for it.  So as long as you have enough flash and memory you can upgrade to the latest which is from 2008.

HTH

Thx, is the Sup32 card IOS what i need if i want to upgrade the IOS on my switch,  there are so many choices to pick from on the Cisco site, I just wanted to make sure that is the main IOS that controls the switch and the feautres suchs as MAC traps, etc that the switch can be configured to do.
