For users planning their lab environment, understanding the image's resource requirements is crucial:
Use 15.2d for legacy exams (ICND2 200-105) or low-RAM servers. For new CCNP Enterprise (350-401 ENCOR), switch to vIOS-L2 or CML images . bin : The executable binary file extension
Supports OSPF, EIGRP, and BGP, although primarily a switch image. Advantages of Using IOU 15.2d
It hits the sweet spot of stability, low resource consumption, and feature completeness for traditional switching topics.
