Cisco Expects IOS Upgrade to Ease Management of Catalyst Switches

摘要

Cisco Systems Inc. today plans to announce an upgrade of the Internetworking Operating System software for its flagship Catalyst 6500 Series switches, supporting increased modularity that's designed to improve operational efficiency for IT managers. The new features, which are scheduled to become available on some Catalyst 6500 models late this year, should enable faster restarts of the switches and reduce the time it takes users to install software upgrades, said John Yen, senior manager of switching product marketing at Cisco.
