Release IOS for 2950

[SIEGfried1977]

Hi, 

In our network, we have numeros switches and I would like to upgrade the IOS software, I didn't find any ios image for Switches 2950 on CISCO website. Anyone has an idea how to find the new release ?

Best regards

2950 series went end-of-life years ago.

thank you, I know the 2950 series are so old but right now my network has a lot of this series and in spite of my researchs online , I didn't find anything. the reason is to implement the SSH connexion on this switches.  

Cheer,

Siegfried

Their last release, might not even support SSH.

Latest IOS version available for Catalyst 2950 switches is 12.1(22)EA14.

They do support SSH, but the IOS file name has to include "k2" in it - for example c2950-i6k2l2q4-mz.121-22.EA14.bin.

Thanks a lot, I got it and I will upgrade ASAP. Do you know if I can install on whatever 2950 series ?

Thanks

I believe you can - so far I've successfully installed it on C2950-24, C2950T-24, C2950G-48 and C2950G-24 (both AC and DC).

Thank you, I've installed the last version  12.1(22)EA14 and I can initiate the ssh session.

Hoho, since I've installed the last IOS firmware on C2950, the memory increases up to 98.1%. If I cancel the crpyto services, the memory is still at 95%.

Did someone have a same issue ?
