Your only legal option is to download the image from Cisco. You will need a SmartNet contract in order to access the IOS downloads<br />
<br />
Also since the 2924XL is End of Life, &nbsp;the latest IOS for is 12.0.5 and it does not support PVST.<br />
<br />
My suggestion would be to upgrade to a 2950 or 2960 switch<br />
<br />
Sorry

Then I can't put my different 2924XL on a loop.<br />
It's not possible to do spanning-tree with them ?

Hello, <br />
<br />
I have several c2924 switch than I want to put on a loop.<br />
That's the reason why I want to enable spanning-tree mode pvst to have one instance per Vlan.<br />
But with my actual IOS =&gt; 12.0(5.2)XU-C2900XL-C3H2S-<wbr />M, i don't have the possibility to do this.<br />
Then which IOS can I install on my catalyst switch and where can I find the IOS Software. On Cisco website, it required an account.<br />
<br />
Thanks in advance.

Upgrade Cisco 2924 IOS for spanning-tree mode pvst

A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. Routers perform the "traffic directing" functions on the Internet. The most familiar type of routers are home and small office cable or DSL routers that simply pass data, such as web pages, email, IM, and videos between computers and the Internet. More sophisticated routers, such as enterprise routers, connect large business or ISP networks up to the powerful core routers that forward data at high speed along the optical fiber lines of the Internet backbone. Though routers are typically dedicated hardware devices, use of software-based routers has grown increasingly common.

A switch is a device that filters and forwards packets of data between LAN segments. Switches operate at the data link layer or the network layer of the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) Reference Model and therefore support any packet protocol. LANs that use switches to join segments are called switched LANs or, in the case of Ethernet networks, switched Ethernet LANs. A hub is a connection point for devices in a network. Hubs are commonly used to connect segments of a LAN. A hub contains multiple ports; when a packet arrives at one port, it is copied to the other ports so that all segments of the LAN can see all packets.
