If I understand it correctly, the (7.4) part refers to a 4th interim build.
If you wanted to upgrade from this, then you would normally go to the next
fully tested maintenance release, which in your case would be 12.2(8). A
release 12.2(7a) would be a rebuild of 12.2(7). Rebuilds are usually from
defects of the previous version, which would then be deferred.
So 12.2 is your major release
7 is the maintenance revision
.4 is the interim rebuild

Shaun

Subject: RE: software upgrades..
Hello all,
Just a quick question, any help appreciated.
In IOS naming convention, say I have an IOS 12.2 (7.4), does the .4 refer to
a specific feature. My boss says yes, but I thought the .2 was the actual
change and the .4 was more an 'update' version.
Ive looked on the cisco site and asked ppl, and have got conflicting
answers. If I have 12.2(7.4) need I upgrade to 12.2(8.4) or is something
like 12.2(7a) a better idea.
I am pretty certain this question won't be in the lab ;).

p.s. as an aside...it would be great to hear from anyone with experience of
mass IOS upgrades. Thanks
