Hello,

i'm pretty new on cisco products, but i've a big experience in routing and firewailling, using linux (debian)..

One of my customur ask me to replace a linux firewall by a cisco 1841, and he gaves me 2 cisco 1841 with HWIC-4ESW extention, with this ios version :

Is there a licence to pay? if so, any idear of the price ?

Do you have a document expaining the upgrade (Tftp ? X-modem tranfert ? upgrade via a web interface ?)

Thank's in advance.

Instead of IP Base, you need IP Security feature set.

Oh yes.

Fastest and easiest method is to eject the CF and use a card reader to copy the correct IOS into the CF.

Hi Nico,

You need to upgrade to c1841-advsecurityk9-mz.124-24.T3.bin in order to get firewall services.
Regarding for correct price details please contact any Cisco dealer or support contracts.\
