Hi

Following is the output of sh ver of cisco 2621 router. There is two place saying about the memory

---

cisco 2621 (MPC860) processor (revision 0x600) with 53248K/12288K bytes of memory.

---

another

---

32K bytes of non-volatile configuration memory.

what is the actual memory size? is it 64 or 32?

Can i install an IOS which minimum requires 64Mb memory in this Router?

#sh ver

You have:-

32Kbs non-volatile memory, where the config is kept.

16mbs of flash - depends on the IOS image size to be stored.

64mbs of memory to run the IOS.

So yes - you could run an image that requires a min of 64mbs.

In addition to Andrew info..

How to know the memory ?

cisco 2621 (MPC860) processor (revision 0x600) with 53248K/12288K bytes of memory.

when you get the above output from sh ver,

simply add 53248k + 12288k and always devide by 1024.

e.i

53248k + 12288k / 1024 = 64

64MB is your total memory in your router
