    Can someone point out to me if the following is from either a 3200, 3200 with upgraded memory or a 3200XM ?  I don't have physical access to the controller, neither can I reboot it to check the boot messages...

     

    (aruba3200) #show mem

    That particular output has been upgraded.   The total value showing:  760772 indicates the new memory DIMM: the older output would have been 354124.

    Thank you for the simple answer I was after :)

     

    Now I can upgrade to 6.2.1.3 in confidence (requirement of upgrade was 1GB memory).

     

    Can you understand my confusion when the CPU shows > 1GB memory and the memory command shows < 1GB memory?  Is there a reason behind this?
