nm-2fe2w-v2 2821 router compatibility

Hello,

I have been tasked with adding a nm-2fe2w-v2 card into a 2821 router running ios  Adv Ent 124-25d.

By trying this on a spare router I have found that the new card is not recognized with the current code.

Can anyone tell me which level of IOS I need to properly use the new card in my 2821 router please?

Here is the error I get from the router.

             

Slot 1:

        Unknown (type 919) Port adapter

        Port adapter is disabled

        Port adapter insertion time unknown

        EEPROM contents at hardware discovery:

        Hardware Revision        : 1.1

        Top Assy. Part Number    : 800-21601-04

        Board Revision           : A0

        Deviation Number         : 0-0

        Fab Version              : 01

        PCB Serial Number        : FOC10410JTN

        RMA Test History         : 00

        RMA Number               : 0-0-0-0

        RMA History              : 00

        Product (FRU) Number     : NM-2FE2W-V2

        Version Identifier       : V01

Thank you in advance

Hello,

I found a cisco q&a on the 2800 series router which explains clearly this module (among others) is NOT supported period.

Table 2. Network Modules Not Supported by Cisco 2811, Cisco 2821, and Cisco 2851 routers

NM-1FE-FX NM-2CE1U NM-1A-OC3SMI-1V

__ Why are these network modules not supported on the Cisco 2811, 2821, and 2851 routers?

__ Many of these modules, such as the Primary Rate Interface (PRI) and ATM inverse-multiplexing-over-ATM (IMA) modules, have reached

end of sale or have been replaced by newer modules that are supported. Others, such as the Fast Ethernet combination card (part number NMxFExW)

and OC-3 network modules (part number NM-1A-OC3), were not supported on the Cisco 2600 Series and do not carry forward into

the Cisco 2811, 2821, and 2851 routers. Finally, some modules, such as the NM-2W are no longer required because the Cisco 2800 Series has

higher-density interfaces and slots. No functions have been removed by not supporting these modules.
