Hi Rizwan

,

Either this could be the issue with the IOS or with the hardware(DRAM). Try upload the new IOS from the TFTP and see if that fix the issue or not. If not try swap the working DRAM from another Router and update me.

Do rate helpful post.

Kasiraman S, you are correct, it is the problem with older IOS.  I downloaded newer IOS and problem fixed.  This problem took away my last night sleep and an entire Saturday fighting over these two routers.  You saved my routers and half the weekend fun.  Thank you, Thank you Thank you.  You are a hero.
