Cisco ASR Router IOS XE Upgrade to 3.4.x

yogesh rajguru · ‎09-20-2011

Hi All,

Wanted help regarding the Cisco ASR Router IOS XE Upgrade.

We are having Cisco ASR 1006 Router with the XE Code :asr1000rp1_advance entrprisek9.03.01.00.S.150_1.S.bin

The basic information we are having is

cisco ASR1006 (RP1) processor with 1717513K/6147K bytes of memory.

10 Gigabit Ethernet interfaces

32768K bytes of non-volatile configuration memory.

4194304K bytes of physical memory.

937983K bytes of eUSB flash at bootflash:.

39004543K bytes of SATA hard disk at harddisk:.

Wanted to upgrade to the latest IOS XE 3.4.x but the memory requirement for this IOS is Dram 4GB. But the DRAM actually is 2GB as per show version command.

Here the Physical memory is showing 4 GB so can we upgrade this IOS XE?

Hi,

Just out of BOX i am thinking, is it the case, as we are using 2 RP1 and the 2GB of DRAM + 2GB of DRAM i.e. 4GB Dram, its showing as a Physical Memory?

Because if I check "sh process memory" there also its showing 2GB of Memory used.

Copy the IOS into the ASR's bootflash.
