IOS questions

It seems each time I do an IOS upgrade on a router or switch I'm trying to repurpose, I forgot all I learned the last time.
I've read a lot today about the differences and the eight IOS "packages."
The choices I have are: Advanced Enterprise Services and Advanced IP Services. My current same-routers in production are using IP Services. Is there any good reason to go to Enterprise Services?
Also, I want to just use the old working config and make minor changes. My last version was 12.3, and this will be 15.1.4. Are there any gotchas on the configs that will change between versions that far apart?

In some platforms I've seen features disappear from a feature set when upgrading. Not often, but it has happened and so means a change of feature set e.g., from IP Services to Advanced IP Services.
Unless you run into that situation, I'd agree completely with Leo. Don't change feature set unless you need. There are several implications of doing so:
- licencing cost of more advanced feature sets is higher, and why pay for features you don't use ?
- the more advanced the image, the more memory (both flash and DRAM) so you may also end up needing hardware upgrades

Simple IOS questions: Debug, Release, Distribution

IOS question:
Can someone explain what the different build settigs are, and also what certificates/code-signing is needed for each, and whether I can set the signing rules for Debug, Release and Distribution, and be able to build whatever I need without having to change them.
#1
I get debug, and distribution. So what is release?
#2
What is the proper setting for the code-signing for each of Debug, Release, Distribution?
(What I have done in the past is just set them all to the Team provisioning when building for local users, and the Distribution provisioning when I need to do a distribution. It seems to me that I ought to be able to set the proper provisioning certificates for all 3 settings and never have to change them because it should use the correct one for each type of build, Right?) So, how to anser #2?
Thanks!

Thanks KT, as usualy you're full of good links to information.
Still reading through things, skimming the parts I know and reading about features I've never used.
It's a Duh moment for Release vs. Debug.... just stripping symbols, oh yeah.
However, still no clear answer about #2.... should I be able to set the provisioning certs once, and never have to touch them again? Especially now, with the Archive pane in the Organizer window, and using the Archive pane to submit for distribution, it asks about code signing again. It's not clear to me why I'm selecting these things in 3 separate places. So, I'd like to know if setting it once, such as below, works well or do I need to change them for each build?
Or can I just use the Share (for local builds) and Submit (for Distribution) once this is all set Once and for all?

WISM 2 IOS Question

Hi All.
I have one upgrade question regarding WISM 2 and WS-6509
Today my IOS is:
System image file is "disk0:s72033-ipservicesk9-mz.122-33.SXH4.bin"
Do a have to upgrade to 12.33 SXJ, or will 12.33 SXH4 work ?
Can anyone help clarify?
Thx !

Do a have to upgrade to 12.33 SXJ,
You have to upgrade to SXJ if you want to use WiSM2. If you don't upgrade to this particular level SXH4 IOS will consider the new module as "un-identified" and, as a precaution, will power down the module.

Director 12 and iOS question

We have a series of about 50-100 Director projects that our science teachers love, but due to intellectual property/ownership of code/providing technical support issues, we have no desire to publish these apps to the iOS App Store. Is it possible to develop these as iOS binaries, use an internal provisioning profile with the Apple Enterprise Developer Program and install these only to devices controlled by the school district? While I love our stuff and would love nothing more to share it, we have no desire to deal with intellectual property issues or providing email tech support for these apps beyond our installed base.

Last time we did something like that....it is possible. However, the provisioning is limited to a certain amount of devices (50?). Also, the provisioning expirs after time (6 months maybe?).
Tkake a look into the Apple App Enterprise Development stuff if you want to do it the official way.

Numbers iOS Question RE: Locking Tables & Charts

I've created a number of tables and charts on the iPad to be used for an anesthesia record template. How do I lock the tables and charts so that they don't inadvertently get moved or disturbed?

iOS version doesn't have the lock ability.

You will need a Key to create a build for iOS. This article will provide you with the information for submitting your mobile app to the App store.

HT5457 iTouch generation and iOs question

I am trying to download some new apps. I am getting messages that they are incompatible with my iTouch. I am wondering if I have an old generation and operating system. My settings say version 4.2.1. Is that a second generation and can I upgrade my Os to 4.3? Thanks!

The iOS version itself doesn't say what model it is; the second generation iPod touch can't be updated past 4.2.1.

IOS Question re Apps and iphone3

I've just been given an unused iphone 3G but all the apps I want say I need ios 4.3 does that mean they are only for iphone 4? If so how do I search for just iphone 3 compatible apps? itunes is upto date. I have some of these apps on an ipad1 as well (such as temple run) but can't download a version for the iphone

Your problem is that iOS 4.2.1 is the end of the line for an iPhone 3G...there are no further updates. Thus, any app that requires iOS 4.3 will not install/work on your phone. Every app in the app store lists the minimum requirements. You'll just have to look for apps that will run on an iPhone 3G.

HT4623 Help needed on iPad IOS question

I have the orignal 16 GB iPad and it's currently running iOS 5...and it says its up to date; does this iPad not allow an update to run iOS 7?

No, the iPad 1 can't be updated beyond iOS 5.1.1.
However, check this link for some possible help: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5919
Note that there are still many apps available which only require iOS 5 or even earlier levels.

IDSM-2 IPS (5.x) / Cat IOS questions

Is my understanding correct that a Catalyst 6500 running Cat IOS supports only Promiscious mode and that Cat IOS does not support IDSM-2 (5.x) Inline mode?
Are there any plans to incorporate Inline Mode (5.x) under Cat IOS in the future, or am I missing something here?

An upcoming version of CatIOS code will definately support inline mode.
The IPS 5.0 code, as you're aware, was the first version of IDS code to support inline mode. With the standalone sensors, running it inline requires a physical cabling change. With the IDSM-2 in particular though, you need to be able to configure the Cat-IOS code to push traffic through the device in inline mode.
Unfortunately getting new versions of CatIOS code out the door is not that easy, since there are about 10,000 other features (not just IPS) in the code that are also wanting to be updated, plus other new features, plus all the testing and re-testing that needs to go on before a release. Supporting inline IPS is just one of many major features scheduled for the switch software.
The Release Notes for IPS 5.0 code do say the following:
IDSM-2 only supports inline mode for Catalyst Software 8.4.4(1) with Supervisor Engine 1a, Supervisor Engine 2, Supervisor Engine 32, and Supervisor Engine 720. Inline support for Cisco IOS will be added at a later date.

IOS Question (tar vs. bin)

I am going to be upgrading the IOS on a few of my 2950's. On the Cisco software download section there are these two options: .bin and .tar files. The tar file has a "web based device manager." Is this the same as CNA? Any other difference between the two files?
Thanks!

The .bin is the bare image that you need to operate the switch. The .tar file also contains this .bin file and an additional set of html & other files that are needed to configure the switch via a web browser.
I assume that CNA also uses this browser interface but it is not exactly the same.
regards,
Leo

Upgrade IOS question

Hi,
Hope anyone could advise on the following:
To upgrade the IOS of the existing switch with the same feature set, do I need to purchase the IOS?
Thanks.

Christina,
There are all sorts of logins, including guest ones so that does not necessarily indicate a SmartNet contract. WHen you log into the site, click on the Profile link (top bar) to see what contracts are associated with your account. Then, click on Additional Access which will tell you what contracts you are associated with. You should be able to send an email to cisco to then find out what the contracts entitle you to.
Here's a list of contacts:
