Re: [nsp] Cisco 7200VXR memory configuration

unfortunately this command is not supported on the 7200. the
7200 follows a fixed carving algorithm. upgrading the code on our
VXR will recarve the memory such that you will have more in
the processor pool. getting the fix for CSCdm73855 will probably
give you about 36 to 40 megs of proc mem. however this is seldom
enough to do anything serious with the router. depending on your
needs i would suggest upgrading the 32 meg proc mem you have
[there are 2 banks, 1 for packet memory which is fixed at 32 megs,
and the other for processor memory which is upgrade up to 256 megs]
to either 64 or 128 or 256 depending on what you would like to do.
