1)� If you have a copy of the IOS that you wish to upgrade to, then you need
to set up a TFTP server that can be used to download the code to the router.
This can be done on a PC with any one of a few dozen utilities that are
publicly available, my personal preference is one found in the very helpful
toolset from Chesapeake, look at http://www.ccci.com/tools/tftpd/index.html
Look over
http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/779/smbiz/service/knowledge/general/tftp.ht
m for the general instructions on how to download the new code to the
router.� This location also has pointers to a TFTP download utility as well
as some alternatives, along with the Step by step instructions for the
transfer and download of the code to the Flash on the router.�� Once the
download is completed, check the size of the image on the flash with the
original file.� If the sizes are comparable, the new image should be set as
the default boot image from EXEC mode.�� Something like
���� (config)#boot system flash flash:2:filename
2)� As to whether you should do it, this is very dependent on your
circumstances.� If the version you are running is stable and working well,
check to make sure it is Y2k compliant and if there are any significant
security considerations.� If neither of these are an issue, then look over
release notes for later versions and see if there are any features that are
incorporated later that would be of benefit to you.�� All this is available
on the Cisco site��� www.cisco.com.��� In a real world scenario, if you have
access to the newer IOS code, and if you can spare the time and equipment
downtime to figure out how to do the upgrade, it would probably be a
worthwhile effort, and you probably would find features that would be nice
to have.

Check out the Cisco Website, specifically
http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/cc/cisco/mkt/gen/2000/prodlit/cptbl_ov.htm
to see if your version is Y2k compliant
As a general note, instead of firewalls, you may want to check out the Cisco
Newsgroups specifically for more pertinent information regarding Cisco
routers.� Look for CISCO at http://www.nexial.com/mailinglists/� (for many
newsgroups, including how to subscribe, and search back).
