1. Introduction to isr4400v2-universalk9.17.06.05.SPA.bin Software
This firmware package delivers Cisco IOS XE Fuji 17.06.05 for Integrated Services Router (ISR) 4400v2 Series, designed to enhance enterprise network security and SD-WAN capabilities. As part of Cisco’s 17.6 Extended Maintenance Release train, it provides 150+ weeks of technical support for organizations requiring stable routing infrastructure with modern security protocols.
Compatible Devices
- ISR 4431v2/K9 with SEC license
- ISR 4451v2/K9-X (SD-WAN Bundle variants)
- ISR 4461v2/K9 equipped with NIM-4G module
- ISR 4321v2/K9 with 16GB DRAM
Officially released in Q2 2025 per Cisco’s lifecycle documentation (CX-22007-2025), this version bridges traditional routing architectures with Cisco DNA SD-WAN Advantage license capabilities. It maintains backward compatibility with Unified Communications Manager 14.x integrations while implementing mandatory TLS 1.3 encryption standards.
