| Jul 23, 2020 at 13:40 | comment | added | Vinícius Ferrão | Yes there's nothing illegal on it. I don't know why it's easier to remove the focus on the question instead of trying to help out. | |

| Jul 23, 2020 at 4:22 | comment | added | Ricky | @RonMaupin 150% INCORRECT, and I'm tired of seeing this knee-jerk reaction. There are several product lines with firmware support without smartnet. (2960's are one of them) All you need is a CCO account to download firmware. One can also legally acquire updated firmware directly from TAC without smartnet under certain circumstances. Please visit cisco.com and learn the difference between a lock icon (login required) and the page with a lock in it icon (login and service contract required) | |

| Jul 22, 2020 at 23:53 | comment | added | Ron Maupin♦ | "Point releases only brings what you said: bugs/security, right?" No, that is incorrect. You should contact Cisco to get an explanation. | |
| Jul 22, 2020 at 23:50 | comment | added | Vinícius Ferrão | Since they are the same IOS 15.2 release, are they the same family? Point releases only brings what you said: bugs/security, right? Is this allowed? | |
| Jul 22, 2020 at 23:43 | comment | added | Ron Maupin♦ | It is true for all Cisco devices. The exception is for bugs/security problems where Cisco TAC gives you updated code to fix a specific problem. You are licensed only for the code you buy with the device. | |
| Jul 22, 2020 at 23:41 | comment | added | Vinícius Ferrão | Really??? The firmware is available on the website. I'm aware of that on the higher end models, like the Nexus family, but even on entry level 2960's? This is a surprise. | |
| Jul 22, 2020 at 23:39 | comment | added | Ron Maupin♦ | "installing the latest firmware release from Cisco" and "since I don't have a SmartNet contract." Then you did not have the right to update the IOS. If you cannot update the boot loader, then you cannot update the IOS. You must have a SmartNet contract to do either, otherwise you are breaking the law. | |
