As of today an M20 with the 64MB of DRAM can still handle full routes. You can look at the utilization with 'show chassis [c]feb' or 'show chassis ssb', depending on the router model. Theat will tell you how much DRAM the system has and the heap utilization will tell you how close you are to falling off the end of the world. On most FEB and CFEB systems the move to new code ate about 6-12% more heap. If the system is sitting at 90% or higher, it is likely that you will have problems after the upgrade. Wee found that 64MB M10 and M5 systems could not work and rolled them back to V7. Our remaining M20s are still hanging in there, but we plan to replace it shortly. For reasons I don't understand, SSB utilization increased only slightly, if at all. Still, for a router carrying full routes, it will be getting close to the edge. > Also - what type of memory can you use on an old, outdated FEB? > Hypothetically, of course, because who would want to invalidate their > warranty? ;-) Huh? A 64MB FEB that is still in warranty? -- R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) Ernest O.
