Upgrade or Downgrade? The Hilarious Reality of Cisco Software Updates!

When considering software upgrades, always ensure your Cisco products aren’t suffering from existential crises and have enough memory. If in doubt, consult the Cisco Security Advisories page or contact the Cisco Technical Assistance Center. Remember, the only thing worse than a bug is a bug with an attitude.
