2600 Memory

kevin31

Hi Guys,

Sorry keep posting on memory. What type of memory is the DRAM memory in a 2600? is it 128MB PC133 SDRAM? If so can I put any type like pc 128MB PC133 SDRAM in a 2600?

Also what type of memry is the FLASH?

thanks

Kev

keving i dont know about your situation but i am in a position where i bought very cheap 2600/2610xm router and then when i tried to upgrade them with mem to get an "ip plus" ios, i found that it would cost me a lot less if i buy a ready made 2610xm/2600 with my desired ios than to actually upgrade the current ones i have.

I've just upgraded my memory in my 2610 to the max (64 DRAM and 16 flash) so can run IOS 12.3.


Not that expensive, check out:

64MB DRAM 16MB FLASH MEMORY CISCO ROUTER 2600 2611 2610 on eBay, also Router Memory, Router Components Memory, Networking Communications, Computers Networking (end time 17-Mar-09 17:17:29 GMT)

i got my 2610xm for about £25 and my 2610 for about £18, the memory module in that link is £25 by itself, do you see what i mean .... i have seen 2610 with 12.3 going for £30 both flash and dram maxed out.

I do see what you mean, but I have never been as lucky to get/see them go for that.

what i usually do is find someone who is local to me and get them to wave the delivery fee, i dont know if you noticed but some of them ask for crazy amounts!

You are certainly right there.

You must live in south of England, as I live in the North East and most of ther routers I see come from london area.

Got a complete CCNA lab, will be upgrading it soon for CCNA Voice though.

Hi

Thanks yeah i live in the south cheapest 260xm near me is about £80! The same seller is quoting £18 for 32mb of DRAM and £16 for 16mb of flash so not to bad!

My situation is already have my lab 3 X 2610's and 2 X 2950's. 2610's only have 12.2 IOS running on them though.

I passed my CCNA with 2610s running 12.1, so thats not a problem. Only upgrade when you really have to, as upgrading costs money.

Thanks. I should be ok do you have the file name of the IOS that you used?

I guess the routers would be quicker with more memory though? Just like a pc would!

What memory you have in yours?

They don't need to be fast for the lab, as they barely get used anyway. A 2610 (NOT xm) is maxed out at 64MB DRAM and 16 MB flash. Only then can you use the IOS 12.3: c2600-ik9o3s3-mz.123-26.bin

I've only done this for one of them so I can use the WIC-1ADSL card. Able to run the internet over the frame relay, can better test ACLs and NAT.

Would recommend getting one if you plan to upgrade a router as I've learned much more by actualy using the lab more constructivly.
