To ensure that the Switch2 is not hitting any major bugs or security vulnerabilities, as shown in Example 12-1, the engineer needs to search the Catalyst OS and MSFC IOS code release notes on the Cisco website. This process can seem tedious, but it is crucial. The release notes also provide information such as feature additions and enhancements.
