RVS4000 v1 or v2 differentiation

[nsacisco1]

Hi all,

I have an RVS4000, not installed. How can I tell from the unit or the packaging that it is a v1 or a v2, without installing and switching it on (which I don't want to do now) ? Are v1 branded Linsys and v2 Cisco ? Can you tell from the date on the package (mine says copyright 2011) ?

Thank you for your help,

Nicolas

Hi Nicolas, my name is Luis I am part of the Small business Support community. The only way that I know how to find the difference from device to the other is checking the release notes. Bellow you will see the links of v1 and v2 respectively.

v1

From firmware 1.3.2.0 to 1.3.3.5:

v2

Firmware 2.0.0.3: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/routers/csbr/rvs4000/release/notes/rvs4000v2_rn_v2_0_0_3.pdf

From firmware 1.3.2.0 to 2.0.3.2: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/routers/csbr/rvs4000/release/notes/rvs4000_rn_v2_0_3_2.pdf

You could find all changes there.

I hope you find this answer useful

Thx Luis for the help.

I later found out that the model tag under my RVS4000 unit does say it is a V2.
