Cisco System PIX 515E - Memory and PIX OS upgrade

Apr 04, 2006 0 Replies

Hi good folks.



Yesterday I had a Cisco PIX 515E with restricted license and and only



32Mb of memory, and PIX 6.3.5/PDM

Today, i have myself a "new" PIX, with 256Mb memory , PIX OS 7.1.2/ASDM and a big smile.



What a difference!



I used 2 chips of ordinary PC100, 168pins 128Mb memory, and upgraded os from monitor.



Operation took less than an hour, including a good cup of black coffe.



I just love it! I can't wait to set up some vpn links and test some trafic shaping.



Sorry, i'm beeing a kid on xmas evening...



My question is: Does PIX 7 OS use all this memory? Is there some restriction in my license regarding memory use?



ASDM reports 256Mb memory and i have about 200Mb free...



best regards to all. Speed3ple
