WS-SUP720-3B SP DRAM requirement for ACE30

[Akhtar Samo]

Hi,

Last month I was reviewing following Cisco document, in which Cisco mentioned that ""To avoid possible memory fragmentation in the forwarding information base (FIB), Cisco recommends that the switch processor (SP) DRAM to a minimum of 1 GB ""

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/interfaces_modules/services_modules/ace/vA4_1_0/installation/note/ace30inote.html

Since this document has been revised in Oct 2011 and, I can't no more find the above memory recommendations.

I want know if any one using WS-SUP720-3B with IOS SXI6 and Cisco ACE30 has gone for upgrading the SP DRAM from 512MB(default) to 1GB ?

Regards,

Akhtar

Hi Akhtar

No it is not required, and no longer recommended. This was temporarily listed in the release notes, based on a DDTS which was later found to have a different root cause. Thus we were able remove the line in the release notes.

So there is no need to upgrade Sup memory to migrate to ACE30.

Hope this helps.
