Software Requirements
The minimum software requirement for the Cisco 7201 router is Cisco IOS Release 12.4(4)XD7, Cisco
IOS Release 12.2(31)SB5, or Cisco IOS Release 12.4(15)T1.
To check the minimum software requirements of Cisco IOS software with the hardware installed on your
router, Cisco maintains the Software Advisor tool on Cisco.com. This tool does not verify whether
modules within a system are compatible, but it does provide the minimum Cisco IOS requirements for
individual hardware modules or components.
To access Software Advisor, go to Cisco.com. From the top of the page, choose Support. From the
Support drop-down menu, Tools and Resources, click the Software Advisor link. You can also access the
tool by pointing your browser directly to
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/support/tsd_most_requested_tools.html
.
Note
Access to this tool is limited to users with Cisco.com login accounts.
Choose a product family or enter a specific product number to search for the minimum supported
software release needed for your hardware.
