3. Hardware & software compatibility

• Router model: Cisco 2691 (part of 2600XM/2600 series family).
• Memory/Flash requirements: Typical 12.4 images require sufficient DRAM (often 64–128+ MB depending on feature usage) and flash (commonly 16–32 MB or larger for additional files). Exact minima depend on subversion and optional features (crypto, voice).
• Supported modules: WAN interface cards (WIC, VWIC), NM/PA modules where physically compatible. Some advanced features (e.g., crypto acceleration) may depend on available hardware and IOS build options.
• Licensing: Historically, feature availability tied to image name; activation sometimes via Smart Licensing or traditional license tokens on newer platforms, but 2691-era licensing was simpler—image selection determined features. Confirm licensing for production use.
