Memory Guidelines

The following tables provide DRAM guidelines for the Cisco 7200 series and 7500 series routers. In many cases, the recommended DRAM is greater than the default configuration.

DRAM Size Requirements -- Cisco 7200, RSP2, RSP4

Network Size	Cisco 7200 Series	Cisco 7505	Cisco 7507	Cisco 7513
Small1	32 MB	32 MB	32 MB	32 MB
Medium2	32 MB	32 MB	32 MB	32 MB
Large3	64 MB	64 MB	64 MB	64 MB
1 Small networks efficiently support <2000 IP routers. 2 Medium networks efficiently support 2000 to 10,000 IP routers. 3 Large networks efficiently support >10,000 routers.

Minimum DRAM -- Cisco 7200 Series, RSP2, RSP4 with Cisco IOS Software Release 11.1 and 11.2

The following table provides minimum DRAM requirements for Cisco IOS Software release 11.1. Actual DRAM requirements are a function of software release level, port adapter type, and port address densities.

For Cisco IOS Software release 11.2, the minimum DRAM requirement is 32 MB in all configurations.
