Questions about cisco IPv6 are best sent to ipv6-support@cisco.com ;)


One of the best tools for finding Cisco IOS images is Cisco Feature
Navigator at http://www.cisco.com/go/fn.

Select "Feature" and search for "IPv6". Next, narrow down the
possibilities by choosing your desired release, platform and feature
set.

When a list of images is displayed, you can choose a particular one and
click "All Features" to see the full feature list. Once the list is
narrowed down to a single image, you can click "Get this image" to
download the image.

Alternatively, if you like to do things the hard way but see all the
details, try our IOS Upgrade Planner at
http://www.cisco.com/go/iosplanner


Note that there are only two IPv6-enabled images available for the 2500
series (the 12.2(4)T IP-Plus and the 12.2(4)T1 IP-Plus). So while the
2500 can still be used as an experimental IPv6 box, if you're serious
about IPv6 I really recommend you upgrade to a new platform. Ultimately
we're not going to be able to fit a fully featured IPv6-enabled IOS into
the 2500.

Cheers.
