What have you done? What messages are you getting? What documents are you using for guidance?

Please post, full sh ver, the exact file name of the proposed upgrade, anything else that you might think useful.

Have you read the documents that I sent? I won't be re-typing it all here.

Is there enough space in the flash.

Best post sh flash - if that's the exact command for the

3825 - I think it is.

Hi cheers for the response,

I will be reading the docs shortly, i inherited the router :)

Router#sh flash

Cheers.

OK. Well you have enough DRAM and hopefully just enough flash. 128M flash is recommended but it looks as if the image will fit as long as there is nothing else there. Of course:( you truncated the sh flash output so I cannot see what else there is:) You might even have room for a crashdump.

Image is 60303612 bytes. You won't be able to have any of the web based config tools installed.

By the way the "T" train images are for the latest greatest hardware support and features. Best to use mainline (no T) unless there are features that you know you need.

12.4T will (probably) become 12.5 in due course. Once they call it 12.5 no new features are added and all changes are bug fixes. So 12.4 has had 24 bug fix releases and 12.4T has had 24 new features releases (and of course the bug fixes too). The T train is therefore more likely to be less stable.
