[c-nsp] WS-C2950G-24-EI memory upgrade

[Paul Stewart]

Wow.. do I feel like an $ss....;)  I was looking at "sh proc mem" and didn't
account for the other memory.....duh!

My apologies - these switches all have 20 meg of RAM it appears:

This might be a silly question, but are you certain you only have 8MB
ram?  Everything I see online shows that switch to have 16MB.  I do know
that Cisco used to have switches that came with 8 initially and were
later released with 16 - but that was back in the days of the 2924s.

Thanks Jason...

That's a shame that Cisco put a product out that isn't upgradable but
their
newest software releases require additional memory (referring to the
2950's
that we have).  Can anyone else confirm this is true and/or make
suggestions?

Best regards,

Paul

I don't believe the 2950's are memory-upgradable.  At least the 2950T-24
and 2950-24 I've got sitting here aren't...

Hi there.

 

We have several WS-C2950G-24-EI switches (AC and DC versions) running..
Most
of them are running 12.1(13)EA1 code and we'd like to upgrade into
12.1(22)EA13 with crypto.

 

These switches have 8 meg flash and 8 meg DRAM today - upgrade in
software
requires 8 meg flash and 16 meg DRAM.  Has anyone done a memory upgrade
on
these?  Is it just a matter of cracking the case and putting a DIMM
module
in?  

 

I'm just trying to understand if anyone has done this and any surprises
they
might have encountered - these switches are in remote locations that
involve
many hours of driving to reach.. rather only do the drive once ;)
Searched
Google and Cisco.com and come up pretty empty - do most people just
replace
these switches?  I hate to go that route if some additional memory can
just
be popped in... 

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Paul
