2611XM VPN Bundle - 256MB / 48MB flash

Recently purchased the VPN bundle on this router but notice that when configuring (through SDM2.0) the memory only shows up as 128MB, although there is definately 256MB installed.

The flash was also upgraded from 32MB to 48MB as there was very little room left after SMD2.0 was added to the 12.3(8)T IOS. The IOS was TFTP'ed back onto the router through RMON.

I also constantly get NVRAM corruption warnings when copying the running-config to startup-config which I have to do using CLI. SDM2.0 tells me that there is insufficient memory to complete the task and fails.

I am relatively new to Cisco products and was wondering if this was something to worry about or not.

A 'show version' reports 128MB, 32K and 48MB of DRAM,NVRAM and FLASH respectively.

The Cisco web site is awash with technical documentation and I'm sure this is probably covered somewhere. So, if someone could point me in the right direction it would be most appreciated.

We had this question on the Forum not long ago. It seems that the current versions of IOS for 2600 do not support more than 128 MB of memory. Here is the thread:

and here is the document that explains what is going on:

Thanks, Kevin. Much appreciated! Seems strange to ship a router with 256MB if it can't be supported!

Kings Regards,
