I have a cisco 6509 switch and current IOS version is Version 12.2(18)SXD7b.
this version does not support SSH.
I want to use version s72033-advipservicesk9_wan
can you tell me if it will suffice and if this version is comparable to my 6509? is this version very current cisco IOS being used.
any recommendation is appreciated.

ASKER CERTIFIED SOLUTION

This solution is only available to members.
To access this solution, you must be a member of Experts Exchange.
The version is comparable. As giltjr mentions, you are not necessarily able to just pick and download a new image such as that. Cisco's licensing will require you have a valid support contract to be able to download the new version; and Cisco.com's website will generally either enforce the restriction (by not allowing you to download software you haven't licensed) or mention the requirements in a EULA prior to being able to download.
Moving from an IP base release, IP service release, Advanced IP Services, or Enterprise services release to an Advanced Enterprise release requires a purchase of the additional features/license upgrade from Cisco. If your current image running on the unit does not have "adventerprise" in the image name, then the image you listed is not the same licensed feature set, for example.
To move from an international non-crypto version to a K9 release (to add SSH support), you need to be in an eligible country and have to agree not to export the product in violation of the export restrictions.

You say you are running
"12.2(18)SXD7b"
But you will want to look at the full filename / build name of the image, not just the release number.
12.2(18)SXF17a is indeed a version that follows SXD7b on the 6500 platform
Although SXD is much older.
On a 6500 platform running today, you really want to be on SXF or SXI.
SXD is old and buggy.

I don't know which features you use, you should check everything on the above link, just to be sure.
