Use the 12k's !! :)

and if you lick your finger and touch the DC power supply, you'll still
get a shock when you touch it :)

Subject: The 2500 problem...

OK, checking Cisco's site, it appears the 2500 is about to become a
great
door stopper.

 

With the introduction of 12.2T on the lab and IPv6 just around the
corner,
my stack of 2500s is about to become useless.

Cisco does have a release of 12.2T for the 2500, but it is IP Only (and
IP
Plus and some other releases that don't cut it). I don't want to have to
toss this stack and replace it with 2600/3600s (I don't have the money,
and
to be quite honest, I like being married).

 

Now, I am in much better shape than most people, as I have access to a
lab
that would knock most people's socks off (it has about $20 Million worth
of
equipment, everything from 1700s all the way up to 12000s and more voice
crap than anyone would want to get near). But there is something about
looking at your rack, seeing the way it is cabled, the tactile feedback
of
watching lights blink and getting shocked by it when you touch it.

 

My current lab consists of:

2501

2501

2509

2521

2525

2525

2524

2610

3550

804

501

 

 

What are my options?

 

I was debating on trying something psychotic, like trying to load a 2610
image on one of the 2500s just to see if it blows up. (I believe the
core
code of both is the same.)
