Upgrading to a New Software Release

For general information about upgrading to a new software release, refer to the Software Installation and Upgrade Procedures located at http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/130/upgrade_index.shtml.

Feature Set Tables

The Cisco IOS software is packaged in feature sets consisting of software images, depending on the platform. Each feature set contains a specific set of Cisco IOS features. Cisco IOS Release 12.4(2)XA supports the same feature sets as Releases 12.4 and 12.4(2)T, but Cisco IOS Release 12.4(2)XA includes new features supported by the Cisco 1700 series routers.

---

Caution The Cisco IOS images with strong encryption (including, but not limited to, 168-bit [3DES] data encryption feature sets) are subject to United States government export controls and have limited distribution. Strong encryption images to be installed outside the United States will likely require an export license. Customer orders can be denied or subject to delay as a result of United States government regulations. When applicable, the purchaser/user must obtain local import and use authorizations for all encryption strengths. Please contact your sales representative or distributor for more information, or send an e-mail to export@cisco.com.

---

Table 2 lists the feature and feature sets supported in the Cisco IOS Cisco IOS Release 12.4(2)XA releases.

The tables use the following conventions:

•In—The number in the `In' column indicates the Cisco IOS release in which the feature was introduced. For example, "12.4(2)XA" indicates that the feature was introduced in 12.4(2)XA. If a cell in this column is empty, the feature was included in a previous release or in the initial base release.

•Yes—The feature is supported in the software image.

•No—The feature is not supported in the software image.

---

Note These feature set tables contain only a selected list of features, which are cumulative for Release 12.4(2)nn early deployment releases only (nn identifies each early deployment release). The tables do not list all features in each image—additional features are listed in Cross-Platform Release Notes for Cisco IOS Release 12.4(2)T and Release 12.4(2)T Cisco IOS documentation.

New Hardware Features in Release 12.4(2)XA and 12.4(2)XA1

Single Port G.SHDSL WAN Interface Card (WIC-1SHDSL-V3)

A single port multi line G.SHDSL WAN interface card (WIC), or WIC-1SHDSL-V3, provides Multirate Symmetrical High-Speed Digital Subscriber Line (G.SHDSL) feature support for Two-Wire Mode and Four-Wire Mode for SHDSL on the Cisco 1700 series, Cisco 1800 series, Cisco 26xxXM, Cisco 2691, Cisco 2800, Cisco 3700 series, and Cisco 3800 series modular access routers. The WIC-1SHDSL-V3 incorporates the latest firmware and the latest circuitry. For more information about this feature, see the following document:

http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/software/ios123/123newft/123t/123t_7/gt4wire.htm

New Software Features in Cisco IOS Release 12.4(2)XA and 12.4(2)XA1

The following sections describe the new software features supported by the Cisco 1700 series routers for the Cisco IOS Release 12.4(2)XA releases.

ATM Oversubscription for DSL

The ATM Oversubscription for DSL feature lets you configure bandwidth oversubscription on Cisco xDSL interfaces up to a defined bandwidth. You can configure variable bit rate (VBR) and unspecified bit rate plus (UBR+) service classes for permanent virtual circuit (PVC) connections with a sum of sustainable cell rates (SCRs) greater than the line rate, which means you can configure an infinite oversubscription amount of bandwidth. Each PVC receives up to its configured SCR value of traffic, and PVCs with higher SCR values receive more bandwidth.

To enable ATM oversubscription for DSL, use the ATM oversubscribe factor command in ATM configuration mode. To disable ATM oversubscription for DSL, use the no form of this command.

atm oversubscribe factor factor
no atm oversubscribe factor factor

To configure unspecified bit rate (UBR) quality of service (QoS) and specify the output peak cell rate and output minimum guaranteed cell rate for an ATM PVC, PVC range, switched virtual circuit (SVC), virtual circuit (VC) class, or VC bundle member, use the ubr+ command in the appropriate command mode. To remove the UBR+ parameters, use the no form of this command.

ubr+ output-pcr output-mcr [input-pcr] [input-mcr]
no ubr+ output-pcr output-mcr [input-pcr] [input-mcr]

Multiqueue Command

The multiqueue command enables a priority and a regular (nonpriority) queue for traffic streams. When the command is enabled and there are multiple classes of packet streams over the same PVC, packets coming from the streams that have priority values configured in a policy map are sent to the high priority queue. Packets from all other streams will be sent over the low priority queue. Multiqueue is intended for configuring DSL lines and permits configuring one data flow in a priority queue. If you have configured more than one flow in a priority queue, the latency for delay-sensitive traffic flow may not be guaranteed.

The multiqueue approach does not work well with applications such as MLPPP with interleave and Crypto. This is because MLPPP uses the same sequence numbering scheme for interleaved packets as the multiqueue approach. For example, if there are a voice and two data packets interleaved, the MLPPP sequence numbers for these packets could be 1 for the first data packet, 2 for the voice packet, and 3 for a second data packet. In the multiqueue approach, the voice packet with MLPPP sequence number 2 would go out before the data packet with MLPPP sequence number 1. This would result in out-of-order sequencing of packets as far as MLPPP is concerned, and result in unexpected behavior. The same problems apply to the Crypto application. The multiqueue approach is disabled by default so that when MLPPP and the Crypto applications are used with DSL the network will not be disrupted by upgrading to an image with multiqueue support.

To enable two queues to prioritize multiple classes of packet streams over the same PVC, use the multiqueue command in either the PVC- or VC-class configuration modes. To return to a single queue, use the no form of this command.

no multiqueue

Conditions: This occurs when you ping with packets > 1445 bytes

Workaround: There is no workaround.

•CSCsc25964: PPPoE dialer CEF VAI adjacency does not honor dialer ip mtu

Symptoms: A PPPoE client router does not honor the ip mtu command settings whey they are configured on the PPPoE dialer interface when the IP MTU is different from the interface MTU.

Fragmentation of IP packets larger than the configured IP MTU will not happen, which can create problems in a PPPoE environment.

Conditions: This symptom occurs whenever a v-access is cloned from the dialer interface and could be PPPoE, multilink or PPPoA.

Workaround: Configure the interface mtu command to the required value.

Open Caveats - Release 12.4(2)XA1

There are no open caveats in this release.

Resolved Caveats - Release 12.4(2)XA

•CSCec26533: Hold timer not invoked with multiple hold requests.

Symptoms: Sometimes when a call is resumed, the hold timer is not stopped, and the call is terminated when the timer expires.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

•CSCed27956:TCP checks should verify ack sequence number.

Symptoms: A vulnerability in the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) specification (RFC793) has been discovered by an external researcher. The successful exploitation enables an adversary to reset any established TCP connection in a much shorter time than was previously discussed publicly. Depending on the application, the connection may get automatically re-established. In other cases, a user will have to repeat the action (for example, open a new Telnet or SSH session). Depending upon the attacked protocol, a successful attack may have additional consequences beyond terminated connection which must be considered. This attack vector is only applicable to the sessions which are terminating on a device (such as a router, switch, or computer) and not to the sessions that are only passing through the device (for example, transit traffic that is being routed by a router). In addition, this attack vector does not directly compromise data integrity or confidentiality.

All Cisco products which contain TCP stack are susceptible to this vulnerability.

This advisory is available at http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/707/cisco-sa-20040420-tcp-ios.shtml, and it describes this vulnerability as it applies to Cisco products that run Cisco IOS® software.

A companion advisory that describes this vulnerability for products that do not run Cisco IOS software is available at http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/707/cisco-sa-20040420-tcp-nonios.shtml.

Open Caveats - Release 12.4(2)XA

•CSCeh97137: newRoot & topologyChange Traps are not generated for Bridge Mib

Symptoms: The topology change trap is not generated while state from listening to learning & learning to forwarding is getting change on an interface. The new root trap is not generated while bridging is enabled & disabled on interfaces and while changing the mac address to make a new root.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

Service and Support

Cisco provides Cisco.com as a starting point for all technical assistance. Customers and partners can obtain online documentation, troubleshooting tips, and sample configurations from online tools by using the Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC) Web Site. Cisco.com registered users have complete access to the technical support resources on the Cisco TAC Web Site.

Cisco.com

Cisco.com is the foundation of a suite of interactive, networked services that provides immediate, open access to Cisco information, networking solutions, services, programs, and resources at any time, from anywhere in the world.

Cisco.com is a highly integrated Internet application and a powerful, easy-to-use tool that provides a broad range of features and services to help you with these tasks:

•Streamline business processes and improve productivity

•Resolve technical issues with online support

•Download and test software packages

Technical Assistance Center

The Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC) is available to all customers who need technical assistance with a Cisco product, technology, or solution. Two levels of support are available: the Cisco TAC Web Site and the Cisco TAC Escalation Center.

Cisco TAC inquiries are categorized according to the urgency of the issue:

•Priority level 4 (P4)—You need information or assistance concerning Cisco product capabilities, product installation, or basic product configuration.

•Priority level 3 (P3)—Your network performance is degraded. Network functionality is noticeably impaired, but most business operations continue.

•Priority level 2 (P2)—Your production network is severely degraded, affecting significant aspects of business operations. No workaround is available.

•Priority level 1 (P1)—Your production network is down, and a critical impact to business operations will occur if service is not restored quickly. No workaround is available.

The Cisco TAC resource that you choose is based on the priority of the problem and the conditions of service contracts, when applicable.

Cisco TAC Web Site

You can use the Cisco TAC Web Site to resolve P3 and P4 issues yourself, saving both cost and time. The site provides around-the-clock access to online tools, knowledge bases, and software. To access the Cisco TAC Web Site, go to this URL:

http://www.cisco.com/tac

All customers, partners, and resellers who have a valid Cisco service contract have complete access to the technical support resources on the Cisco TAC Web Site. The Cisco TAC Web Site requires a Cisco.com login ID and password. If you have a valid service contract but do not have a login ID or password, go to this URL to register:

http://www.cisco.com/register/

If you are a Cisco.com registered user, and you cannot resolve your technical issues by using the Cisco TAC Web Site, you can open a case online by using the TAC Case Open tool at this URL:

http://www.cisco.com/tac/caseopen

If you have Internet access, we recommend that you open P3 and P4 cases through the Cisco TAC Web Site.

Cisco TAC Escalation Center

The Cisco TAC Escalation Center addresses priority level 1 or priority level 2 issues. These classifications are assigned when severe network degradation significantly impacts business operations. When you contact the TAC Escalation Center with a P1 or P2 problem, a Cisco TAC engineer automatically opens a case.

To obtain a directory of toll-free Cisco TAC telephone numbers for your country, go to this URL:

http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/687/Directory/DirTAC.shtml

Before calling, please check with your network operations center to determine the level of Cisco support services to which your company is entitled: for example, SMARTnet, SMARTnet Onsite, or Network Supported Accounts (NSA). When you call the center, please have available your service agreement number and your product serial number.
