Cisco 2620 Router IOS Upgrade

Hi everyone. I use a Cisco 2620 router currently running
c2600-bins-mz.122-11.T.bin.
I am a Cisco registered user and logged into the site to obtain the lastest
release of the code. I am really confused about which version I should use.
Based on my current c2600-bins-mz.122-11.T.bin what correct latest release
should I upgrade to? I found this one, c2600-bin-mz.123-23.bin, on the
website but my current release has c2600-bins not c2600-bin in the filename.
I would appreciate any help. Thanks.

 

post the output of show version so that responders will know what the
current feature set is on your router

 

Here you go. Thanks for the help.

It wasn't that useful of a request, because it really only gives back
all the info encoded in the full filename.

Usually people say things like they have 12.2.11 which isn't as useful
as giving the full filename of the image.

The bulletin at

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/iosswrel/ps5460/prod_bulletin09186a00801af451.html

has the mapping of the older product series into the newer naming schemes.

The BINS feature set, which had IP, IPX, Appletalk, and PLUS (s) for IBM
protocol support is replaced by Enterprise Base (entbase) in newer images.

 

Hi. Thanks for the information. I logged into the Cisco site to get the
ENTBASE code but it wasn't there. The following were the available codes
under 12.3.23 (GD). Please help me select the correct one. Thanks.

One of the reason for asking for the show version output was to see
how much memory is in your router.

This has an obvious impact on trying to load some of the larger images
associated with some features set

Since your router has 64M of DRAM and 32 M of flash, you can loaded
any of the above images.

If you do not know which image to use, then you need to indicate what
the routers is used for.
For example IP only ? VPN tunnels , IOS firewall, etc, etc

If you post your router config, then responders could tell what
feature set is required to support the current working config.

 

Hmmm, looks like it was there after all.

Here is a "sanitized" copy of my running configuration. I would really
appreciate it if someone could tell me which version of the 12.3.23 (GD)
code I should upgrade the router to. Thanks.

The config shows that IP,IPX, DLSW and PIM multicast are being used.


Doug McIntrye's post has already indicated to use Enterprise Base:

" The BINS feature set, which had IP, IPX, Appletalk, and PLUS (s) for
IBM
protocol support is replaced by Enterprise Base (entbase) in newer
images"


The 12.2(23) Enterprise Base image name is c2600-j1s3-mz.123-23.bin

 

Great. Thanks everyone for all the help.

 

you feature is as bellow, keep the same feature, and go for latest ver, look at the requirement for ram and flash:
