2610 with an wic-1adsl

Hi,

I'm trying to get an wic-1adsl working with my 2610 router but can't get it
recognised. I presume this is due to the fact I don't have the plus pack on
my IOS. As such I've tried a bunch of other IOS's and they all fail during
boot saying not enough memoy. The router has 16 flash and 48 dram. Here's
the IOS's I've tried.

c2600-a3js-mz.123-6a.bin
C2600-Ik9o3s-Mz.122-8T.bin
c2600-ik9o3s-mz.123-8.4a.bin
C2600-Is-Mz 122-7.bin
c2600-is-mz.122-15.T.bin
C2600-is-mz.122-8.t4.bin
c2600-is-mz.123-5b.bin
c2600-is4-mz.123-9.bin
C2600-Jk9o3S-Mz 123-10.bin
cisco_ios-c2600-ik9o3s3-mz.123-3a.bin

All fail with not enough memory, software forced reset.

I've ordered 32mb more ram but it's going to take a couple of weeks to get
here, ideally I'd like to get it working before them. Does anyone have any
great ideas?

Regards
Paul.

 

Checking with the Cisco Feature navigator, there are two features - ADSL
over ISDN, and ADSL Support - don't know which one is required for that
WIC, but the first is not supported on the 26xx ... the second one
requires either Enterprise Basic or IP Plus IOS ... looks like your
problem is the DRAM - either one is listed with 64Megs of DRAM, though
16M of flash will be sufficient ...

Here's some filenames:

c2600-j1s3-mz.12.3-12 - enterprise basic
c2600-is-mz.12.2-11.T9 - IP Plus

Otherwise, check http://cisco.com/go/fn for more detailed search ...

But then, why did you go with the ADSL WIC? It's somewhere around
2-3times more expensive than a WIC 1ENET ... stick a DSL modem in
between, and you're up and running in no time ...

Thanks for the reply Gary. It's the standard ADSL support that I need I
guess, not the over ISDN one.

Yes you're right of course about the cost of the wic, I got it second hand
off ebay so it wasn't too expensive (£120 about $230). I just wanted it to
play with really and I can always sell it.

Thanks very much for the file names.

Paul.

 

Is it a 2610 or a 2610XM?

Per the datasheet for the WIC-1ADSL card at
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/routers/ps259/products_data_sheet09186a0080088713.html

The minimum version of IOS for the 2610XM is 12.3(2)T or 12.2(8)YN.
12.3(x)T anything is probably going to require too much RAM for you
right now, as you generally have to max out Flash and RAM to play in
that realm on the hardware..

Cisco Feature Navigator says that 12.2(8)YN only comes in IP+ or
IP/FW/IDS+IPSEC/3DES images. Looks like you're outa luck, as the IP+
images requires 96/32 of DRAM/Flash.

Now, if you're running a 2610 instead of a 2610XM, you have a few more
choices, and can run 12.2(4)XK or up in that train. Unfortunatly
they've scrolled info about XK off feature navigator already There
used to be a few other sub-trains in 12.2.(x) that could run that
card, but again, they're busy beavers and scrolling off those old
sub-trains to the newer stuff which all has massive memory requirements.

IIRC, 12.2(x)YN is what I used for the 2610 as well for using it and
selling it as a solution, but had to max out the memory to run the
card with the few images that has hardware support for this card.

 

Hi Doug, thanks for the comprehensive reply. Mine isn't the XM version,
just the standard. I've gone ahead and ordered some more ram, found these
guys to be pretty cheap http://www.ssmemory.com/. It's copied memory not the
real stuff.

Then hopefuly it can stop being a useless brick!
