PIX OS 7 for 501 and/or 506E yet?

Jan 24, 2006 2 Replies

We semi-retired our 501's and 506e's from several locations due to no v7 OS from Cisco for them. We also allowed our SmartNet accounts to expire. Has Cisco released a version of 7 that will run on them? If so, we'll pay for SmartNet again and upgrade, otherwise I guess we'll just ebay them and be done with it.



Thanks...

No, and people around here have pretty much stopped talking about it so I would speculate that the people with NDAs aren't getting anything solid either (e.g., not even betas.) But I'm not under NDA so I'm just going by the rumour mill.

Today I heard a presentation of a Cisco technician. He stated clearley that there will be no V7 for the 501 nd 506 boxes. He said further that some of the V7 features will likely be incorporated in some later V6.x versions.
