Checking Hardware and Software Compatibility
To check the minimum software requirements of the Cisco IOS software with the hardware installed on your
Cisco ASR 1000 Series Routers, Cisco maintains the Software Advisor tool on Cisco.com. This tool does not
verify whether Cisco ASR 1000 Series SIPs or SPAs within a system are compatible; but the tool provides
the minimum Cisco IOS requirements for individual hardware modules and components.
To access this tool, you must have a Cisco.com login account.Note
To access the 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
needed for your hardware.
Configuring the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Routers at Startup
This section explains how to create a basic running configuration for your Cisco ASR 1000 Series Routers.
You need to acquire the correct network addresses from your system administrator or consult your network
plan to determine correct addresses before you can complete the router configuration.
Note
Before continuing the configuration process, check the current state of the router by entering the show version
command. The show version command displays the release of Cisco IOS software that is available on the
router.
For information on modifying the configuration after you create it, see the Cisco IOS configuration and
command reference guides.
To configure a Cisco ASR 1000 Series Routers from the console, you must connect a terminal or terminal
