C3560ipservicesk9mz1502se11bin

The 150-2.se11 suffix is not arbitrary. Cisco’s IOS release cycle for the 3560 ended with version 15.0(2). Here is why SE11 is the "golden image."

Simply loading the binary is useless unless you leverage its capabilities. Here are three high-value configurations unlocked by ipservices.

| Field | Value | Meaning | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Platform | c3560 | Cisco Catalyst 3560 Series switches | | Feature Set | ipservicesk9 | IP Services + Crypto (K9 = 3DES/AES encryption) | | Format | mz | Runs from RAM (not compressed flash) | | Release | 150-2.SE11 | IOS version 15.0(2)SE11 | | Extension | .bin | Binary executable image | c3560ipservicesk9mz1502se11bin

Note: The string 1502se11 is an alternative concatenation of 150-2.SE11.

Switch# copy running-config tftp:
# Provide TFTP server IP and filename (e.g., 3560-backup-config.txt)
Switch# copy tftp://192.168.1.100/c3560ipservicesk9mz1502se11.bin flash:

Wait for the !!!!!!!!!!!!!! confirmation. Verify with verify /md5 flash:c3560ipservicesk9mz1502se11.bin (Cisco provides MD5 on download page). Note: The string 1502se11 is an alternative concatenation

Keep the previous image in flash:

conf t
 boot system flash:previous-image.bin
 end
write memory
reload

Before uploading c3560ipservicesk9mz1502se11bin to your switch, you must verify hardware compatibility. Attempting to load this IOS on incompatible hardware will result in a boot loop.

This specific image is part of the 15.0(2)SE train, which was a long-standing "Gold Star" or recommended release for the Catalyst 3560/3750 platform for many years.
