Cisco IOS release naming

Calin — Mon, 11 Jul 2011 13:42:26 +0000

Most probably you already know this, but for those who are interested, here is a list of the letter definitions for Cisco IOS release trains. In more human terms, if you have loaded an IOS image like c2900-universalk9-mz.SPA.150-1.M5.bin, what those letters (in this case SPA) mean:

First of all the official Cisco guide: CCDA 640-864 Official Cert Guide, 4th Edition is not yet available. Ciscopress.com announce it to be available June 10, 2011. [...]

Calin — Mon, 11 Oct 2010 15:28:50 +0000

Even if this has nothing to do with Cisco and the regular topics that I post here, I think is one of the best trailers that I’ve seen lately. Ever heard of Java or .NET? The one and one battle between closed source and open source? Then you’ll enjoy this for sure!
