[c-nsp] Obtaining MD signature

[Rick Kunkel]

Possibly OT, as it doesn't stricly pertain to networking... Apologies, if 
regarded as such...

The SOLE copy I've got of s72033-adventerprisek9_wan-mz.122-18.SXF4.bin 
resides on a TFTP server used for backup purposes.  This TFTP server 
experienced disk issues a year or so ago, and I'm not convinced of the 
file integrity for everything on it.  However, I'd like to possibly re-use 
it in place of a newer, but less fully featured IOS that came on recently 
ordered equipment.  At the very least, I'd like to discard it if 
corrupted.

Cisco's site says, in multiple places:

"MD5 values are now made available on Cisco.com for all Cisco IOS software 
images for comparison against local system image values."

It goes on to say that the best way to get this is to go into the site as 
if about to download and to click on the filename to get the info.  As of 
several years ago when our partner agreement expired, I can't download 
IOSs... I just have some generic CCO access.  (I'm actually a little 
unclear on how our access level has changed over the years, but I can 
still login and use tools.)  I've tried anyhow, but the point at which it 
will show you the MD5 must be beyond the point at which I now have access.

Am I missing something on their site?  Is it easy for one to obtain the 
valid MD5 signature and I'm just missing it?

Apologies for anything boneheaded on my part.  We're a relatively small 
network, and I deal with Cisco's ever-changing site as an authenticated 
user every few years when we change things up in the network.

Thanks,

Rick
