To upgrade Cisco IOS Software or enable new features, memory requirements must be met.
To determine the amount of Flash and DRAM on a Cisco router, issue the show version command.
Refer to the bold text in the output below.
DRAM is divided logically, combining the two numbers to determine total DRAM.
In this case, it is 45056K/4096K bytes (45056kB + 4096kB = 49152kB), which is equal to 48MB.
