Upgrading 6509 Sup720 from 12.2.17 to 12.2.18

[04_TCRMCQ]

Hi all,

I need to upgrade my IOS from s72033-pk9sv-mz.122-17d.SXB11a to the newest IOS with security fixes. From what I found s72033-advipservicesk9_wan-mz.122-18.SXF17 seems to be the way to go but I would like to be sure. Should I expect to loose some features from this upgrade?

Thanks!

Thanks a lot, so you confirm that in order to keep the same feature set from the old packaging (s72033-pk9sv-mz) to the new (s72033-advipservicesk9_wan-mz) that would be the way to go?

Thanks
