Few questions:

I just bought a 2650, 96/16, i plan to upgrade max out the memory - will this run 12.4?

also, if a router has a DC power supply can i swap that out for an AC one? i'm looking at another 2509 that has a DC powersupply. i'd swap it with a AC supply from one of my 2500 series token ring routers.

Yes, it can run 12.4 Adv Enterprise Services with 128/32 (but not cisco recommended) lol
i've personally havnt had a problem running 12.4 on a non 2650 & 2651 router(s)
Yes power AC/DC power supplies are swappable, same sys board plug, different input current.

Yes

I never did buy any DC powered routers, but I remember researching that.... and I remember finally coming to the conclusion that the power supply swap would work.

Hi,

No you don't, i have a couple of 2610 and 2612 with 12.4 booting from flash and they're working very stable, of course this's in my home lab.

Hope this help.

Great, thank you.

Yeah tftp boot will work fine

If you have a 2650 or 51 you can support 32MB flash out of the box.

Unfortunately unlike the 2600XM series, you dont have 16MB flash onboard. So you have
to have a 32MB stick in them.

You can run IP Base 12.4 on 2610-2621's (keep in mind you have to have the mem requirement)
or image decompression will cause software forced crash

Also i remember that the 2924M-XL has a limitation but ill have to look it up (dont remember)
because i dont ever use them lol...

hopefully the 2924M XL-EN won't be as much FAIl as my other 3 2924's - they don't support anything

. I have 2 2950's though, so i should be okay on most of my switching if i for some reason can't do trunking or anything with the new 2924.
