Cisco 2960x switch software update
Hey Experts. Looking to upgrade the Cisco software of several 2960x switches. Current version is 15.0(2)ex4 and after downloading the newer version 15.2,4e6 but wasn't sure if I can go from where I am to the newer version without any steps in between. Would appreciate advisement on this. Thanks Experts.

If there is something between

issue:
no boot system flash:xxxxuniversalk9-mz.S
and then configure new IOS that you are installing:
boot system flash:<NewImageName>
exit from configuration mode, then issue:

Thanks for the reply/information. What I was really more curious about is if I can install that version of software with the previous version being so far behind.
Ok. Let me try to phrase the question differently.
I currently have 15.0(2) running on my switches. The newer available version is 15.2.4. Can I go straight from 15.0(2) to 15.2.4 or do I need to install a version in between?

Typically with switches you can go directly from one version to another (just few times I read with switches that additional step is needed).
I upgraded previously 2960-X from 15.0.x to 15.2.4(e) or higher, so, for sure, you don't need install versions in between.
