  • Page 5: Memory Requirements

    By default, all Cisco 2600 series routers contain 16 MB of DRAM and 4 MB of System Flash memory. The maximum amount of memory supported on Cisco 2600 series routers is 64 MB of DRAM and 16 MB of system Flash memory. Table 1 summarizes the minimum memory requirement for each Cisco IOS feature set.
