Software Image Upgrade Promotion

Overview
®
®
®
Beginning with Cisco IOS Software Release 12.2(33)SXF on the Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series
Switches, Cisco IOS Software was offered in different reformation feature sets (see Figure 1). This
allowed customers to pick and choose the appropriate feature set license based on their
deployment needs. With the introduction of Cisco IOS Software Release 12.2(33)SXH, the
Enterprise Services feature set was removed to consolidate the available feature sets.

Cisco IOS Software Release 12.2(33)SXH Migration
Cisco IOS Software Release 12.2(33)SXH is an Extended Maintenance release and will be
supported for a period of 24 months for Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series Switches. For more details
about Release 12.2SX Standard and Extended Maintenance releases, visit
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/switches/ps5718/ps708/prod_bulletin0900aecd804f069
4.html.
Beginning with Release 12.2(33)SXH, the Enterprise Services software image was no longer
offered for the Cisco Catalyst 6500 supervisor engines. This was done as part of an image/featureset consolidation program. Existing customers running the Cisco IOS Software Enterprise Services
image were entitled to receive a free license upgrade to Cisco IOS Software Advanced Enterprise
Services for the Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series Supervisor Engine 720 and Cisco Catalyst 6500
Supervisor Engine 32 until January 29, 2008. Upgrade purchases beyond the January 29, 2008
date were required to pay the regular upgrade price.
