IOS License
for
CCNA Students
By
Eng. Abeer Hosni
Cisco IOS Naming Conventions:
- Train = A major version of IOS
image. Ex: 12.4, 12.2M, 15.2T

- Throttle = A minor version number (a bug fix or some


new features).

Ex: 12.4(2), 12.4(3)

- Rebuild = Only a bug fix Ex:


12.4(20)T1, 12.4(20)T2

- M versus T

M = Main line (The most stable IOS


version). Ex: 15.4M

T = Technology train (new features but probaly more


bugs) Ex: 15.4T

Notes:

- It is better to read the release notes of an IOS before upgrading the


router IOS, as in some cases the commands syntax is different.

- It is better to MD5 check the new IOS to make sure that it is not
corrupted.
IOS Images:
1- Pre 15.x IOS “Feature Set”

2- Post 15.x IOS “Single Universal Image with built-in Technology


Train”

 are supported on Cisco ISR G2 platforms (Cisco 1900, 2900,
Technology package licenses
and 3900 Series routers).
