Wow ios2.4? Did you find this switch in a museum? Guess is shouldnt make
fun, we have some routers still on 10.3.
In my experience when upgrading to newer ios i have seen some commands go
away and new ones added to replace the function of the old commands. In a
switch IOS you will see differences related to port configuratioin, spanning
tree, and protocol filtering. I dont believe protocol filtering is even a
option in 2.4
If you upgraded your switches memory to handle a more current IOS then im
sure you would see differences. Another possibly maybe to get a Flash card
and store the IOS on it. Cant get something for nothing though.
Good luck
