Hi there

Looking for hours for what's the difference between SXH and SXI in IOS
names, e.g. 12.2(33)SXH or 12.2(33)SXI but cannot find some useful
information.

Is there any body who can explain it to me?

Cheers,

Andre

www.cisco.com/go/fn may be able to do those images
in its comparison tool.

In general SXI is likely to be the one after H with a few
extra features. H and I are very unlikely to have any
special 'meaning' other than being a sequence of labels.

There used to be a nice IOS "Road Map" that showed
all of the versions (for routers anyway) and many of their
relationships but a quick look suggests that it has gone now.

Looks promising though.

H and I are "New Technology Introduction Identifiers"; so
there! I think my above comments stand:)

Here are some links that explain what features are in SXI,
that were added after SXH:

site:cisco.com 12.2(33)SXH 12.2(33)SXI

Aaron,

I will appreciate your position of you do not respond,
so that will be OK by me.

At one time (1999 ish) I realised that my job description could
well be "reading the Cisco web site". I vividly recall the
frustration of typing in to the search box the exact title of
a document that I had at least a part of in my hand and
getting exactly zero hits.

Then one day - Cisco semed to purchase from some
unknown startup called Google, a search engine.

Pouff!!

All was revealed.

Lately I have the idea that the Cisco search does not
work as well as it did and that searching on google for Cisco
does not return optimal results.

My view is that Cisco must be restricting google's access
to cisco.com and have also ceased to use the google
search engine for their private searches.

It quite frankly all seems pretty rubbish.

Comments are welcome but not necessarily expected.:-)

Yes, at one time, cisco.com's internal search engine used Google.

~ Lately I have the idea that the Cisco search does not

Cisco.com's internal search engine does not now use Google.

~ and that searching on google for Cisco
~ does not return optimal results.

So now you are talking about going to public google.com
and using it to search cisco.com? I use that method a lot
myself (i.e. I use a "site:cisco.com" search), and it works
well for me.

In fact, that's how I found those links listed above -
I just searched www.google.com for

site:cisco.com 12.2(33)SXH 12.2(33)SXI

I.e. http://www.google.com/search?q=12.2%2833%29SXH+12.2%2833%29SXI&sitesearch=cisco.com

No magic or insider information was involved.

~ My view is that Cisco must be restricting google's access

Not as far as I know. That is, of course, there is some content
on cisco.com that is restricted to customers with service contracts,
and some that is restricted to Cisco partners, and public Google
can't find that.

~ and have also ceased to use the google
~ search engine for their private searches.

Well, this is true.

~ It quite frankly all seems pretty rubbish.

~ Comments are welcome but not necessarily expected.:-)

Hope this helps,

Aaron
