Hi folks.
Pursuing the CCSP. Have old router and need the IOS with the firewall feature pack containing the encryption engines (DES, 3DES).
I realize the 'official' answer is to contact my local Cisco partner and pay several thousand $$$. But, don't wish to do that, nor feel it is appropriate for the effort. The router and software is strictly for training.
Any ideas/advice ..?
Hello !
I'm in the same situation as you !
can't get neither put the last IOS firewall on my 2515 Router (not enough memory and can't put Firewall IOS on this Router Model..)
The only answer I found is : I bought a PIX 501 at Ebay from 400 $ CAN. so I can "play" with the IOS Firewall feature !
Good price on the Pix. It is NOT however an IOS firewall feature set, no where even close. Completely different beast. There are des/fw images for the 2500 that only require 10m dram, flash is 16, but that doesn't matter as you can boot it from a tftp server. DRAM is dirt cheap on ebay for it.
example: File name Min. Memory (MB) Min. Flash (MB) Date Released c2500-ik8os-l.122-12l.bin 10 16 21-APR-2005

Hello,
Where can I get those FW/DES ROM for the 2500 router ?
Merci
They are readily available on CCO with your appropriate login of course.

Hello,
The problem of my life is I only have a guest level account @ cisco ... :-(
How can I get a Higher privilege acount ?
someone always asks the question just before me......
me too.
I just bought a bunch of cisco equipment this weekend, and I am going to be looking to upgrade all the IOS's etc. So, how do I get access to this stuff?
I think that the only way is to buy a support contract.
Or become a partner
Hello, I tried that but ,I need the tools they offer to choose the rignt image !
Too many !
What you seek is freely available via download.... Search within yourself my young padawan...

Not true, I have a CCO Login, and I'm not on a support contract, or a reseller, or even a business (although Cisco may think I am), it's not hard to get the material, just be inventive at registration, it's not like you're using an IOS upgrade for anything nefarious, since you're doing Cisco Training anyway.
Google and set up a freeware TFTP Server on any host from Win95 to XP, or get a free Linux implementation, and your set.
all cisco IOS for the 2500 series starts with c2500 so a search on c2500 should yield the IOS your looking for. Seach within yourself my young friend and you will find what the letter codes stand for.

Initially, I thought I had asked a fairly straightforward question to what I'm painfully discovering is a convulated problem. The problem being where to get IOS software strictly for training, and HOW to determine what software to get. I mistakently thought there were 4, or 5 IOS's applicable to my platforms (2501's). There probably are hundreds.
Now, we via the newsgroups we have to decipher this Davinci-code like stuff to determine whether or not we/I/anyone can download IOS software? As if this stuff wasn't complex enough, we have to figure out HOW to just get to the beginning of the learning curve ..???
