Upgrade from IP base version to advanced security

[Fida jlassi]

Hi,

I have the following plateform:

Router 2811

Version 12.4(3i), RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc2)

flash:c2800nm-ipbase-mz.124-3i.bin

Is it possible to migrate to the advanced security instead of Ipbase version?

[Marcel van Dorp · Accepted solution]

Yes you can, depending of course if the router has enough flash and memory to actually run it.

Go to the feature navigator to determine the IOS image you need (www.cisco.com/go/fn)

Just want to add to what Marcel already noted, you'll also need to buy a feature license upgrade too.

Joseph you mean that I need to buy the advanced security and the licence upgrade, both?

If you don't have an active support maintenance contract on the device, you need to buy any upgrade.

If you have an active support maintenance contract, you can upgrade to any IOS version using the same feature set.  However, if you upgrade the feature set (e.g. moving from IP Base to Advanced Security), you need to buy that too.
