Yeah, lots of folks bought something small and cheap to be official and then they had access to the whole treasure chest. Is that still possible?

If they don't then place a call to Cisco and they will sell you a contract via a reseller. If the firmware has a security issue then Cisco will usually allow you to download a patched IOS file version. In my former life I had a very small and cheap Cisco device on SMARTnet. As long as I had a log in I could download all the firmware I wanted for any Cisco device. ryan On 6/16/15 9:45 AM, Glen Waldrop wrote: My cable consult job is asking me for Cisco IOS since his cable support company can't/won't provide it.
