IOS Version for 2651XM with NM-4T1-IMA

[jmlester]

Cisco's documentation on the 2600-series indicates that the NM-4T1-IMA card is supported in the 2651XM router. I cannot seem to find an IOS version that supports it though. The Software Advisor tool always times out when I use this hardware config. Does anyone know what version I need? All I need is basic routing functionality with BGP.

Thanks,

Jason

Any recent version should work.

That's what I thought too, but no go. I just tried 12.4-15-T9 in both ipbase and entbase. The boot loader shows this:

Smart Init is enabled

smart init is sizing iomem

ID MEMORY_REQ TYPE

00036F 0X00103980 C2651XM Dual Fast Ethernet

0000BC 0X0025178C Four port T1 Inverse Mux for ATM

0X00098670 public buffer pools

0X00211000 public particle pools

TOTAL: 0X005FE77C

So, it sees the card. Once IOS loads though, show inv:

Router#show inv

PID: C2651XM-2FE , VID: 2.0, SN: JAE#####X##

NAME: "Unknown on Slot 1", DESCR: "Unknown"

PID: , VID: 1.0, SN: FOC#####XX#

No interfaces show up for it either.

Probably a stupid question, but does the NM-4T1-IMA network module also require that the router have the AIM-ATM installed? I am wondering if that might be the issue?

[jmlester]

I had an extra AIM-ATM card, but that did not help. On bootup, I get this:

*Mar 1 00:00:07.660: %PA-3-NOTSUPPORTED: PA in slot1 (Unknown (type 188)) is no

t supported on this image.

Please issue "show diag" in fully loaded IOS image

to get the PA's information and verify if it is supported

by this image, a newer version may be needed.

show diag displays:

Slot 1:

Unknown (type 188) Port adapter

Port adapter is disabled

Port adapter insertion time unknown

This version worked:

c2600-is-mz.123-26.bin

They must have removed support for some of the older cards in the 12.4 version.

They do strange and undue things sometime. Good that you had the perseverance of keep trying.
