SIP Summary

Checking Hardware and Software Compatibility

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 SIPs or SPAs within a system are compatible, but it does provide the minimum Cisco IOS requirements for individual hardware modules or components.

Note Access to this tool is limited to users with Cisco.com login accounts.

To access Software Advisor, click Login at Cisco.com, type “Software Advisor” in the SEARCH box, and click GO. Click the link for the Software Advisor tool.

Choose a product family or enter a specific product number to search for the minimum supported software release needed for your hardware. For details regarding the hardware and software supported for ASR1000 SIPs, refer Table 1-2.

Note The Cisco ASR 1002-X Router has an integrated route processor, embedded services processor, and SIP.
