Which 1700 series?

[vincent-n]

I just wanted to know how you can tell which 1700 series router it is that you're having simply from doing a show version? I'm having difficulty trying to locate the right IOS software for a 1700 series router and on the CCO, there are IOS version for different 1700 series routers. Thanks for your answer.

I believe you are trying to upgrade IOS on a remote router which you dont have physical access to ?

If the image name of the file in flash (or sh version) starts with c1710, the router is a 1710. Otherwise it could be either of the following:

1720, 1721, 1750, 1751, 1760

If the file in flash is a data image, then all the above routers can use the same IOS. When I mean data image, it means IP/ADSL, IP/ADSL/PLUS etc..

If its a voice image (IP VOICE feature set), only 1750/51/60 use voice feature set images.

To identify a voice image, do a show version and look for "ipvoice" in the image name. If thats the case you can download the latest IPVOICE feature set image from CCO Software center.

Usually IP/ADSL and similar feature set images have a "c1700-sy7" or "c1700-y7" or something similar. If this is true in your case, you can download any of the data images and upgrade the IOS on the router.

Hope that helps!

Sankar has an interesting approach to finding the model but I think there is a more simple way which usually will work. Here is the output of show version from a 1700 router. If you look at the line just below "export@cisco.com" you will find that the hardware model is clearly identified (in this case it is a 1721).

Hah..I thought it did show the correct model in the sh version...but then I did not have a show version output handy with me at the time I posted my reply. Good you caught that...Rick!
