[c-nsp] Experimental IOS Images

[Robert Crowe]

John,


	Experimental images are not available publicly. Cisco may issue an
experimental image to fix a given problem that a customer is experiencing.
Usually these are used until the fix is integrated into a regular IOS
release.

Subject: [c-nsp] Experimental IOS Images

I'm trying to help someone at another forum with a router boot problem and I
have a suspicion that they're running experimental IOS releases. I can't
find any information about these releases on CCO and I wanted to see if
someone here could confirm that these are not meant for production boxes.

Here are the images I've seen mentioned so far:

c5350-is-mz.121-5.xM3.bin
c5350-is-mz.122-2.XA4.bin

And, from show version:

ROM: System Bootstrap, Version 12.1(2r)XD1, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc1)
BOOTFLASH: 5350 Software (C5350-BOOT-M), Experimental Version
12.1(20000922:142008) [nag-flo_t_0110 101]

That seems to bolster my argument that this guy is running experimental
images on the box and is now wondering why he's having problems.

Do any of you know anything about these images?

Thanks,
John
