Note The ir800-universalk9-bundle.SPA.155-3.M0a.bin bundle must be copied via tftp to the IR800, and then installed using the bundle install flash:<image name> command. The ir800-universalk9-bundle.SPA.155-3.M0a.bin file can NOT be directly booted using the boot system flash:/image_name. Detailed instructions are found in the Cisco IR829 and IR809 Integrated Services Router Hardware Installation Guides.

Note Do not configure ip ssh version 1, otherwise the bundle installation will fail.

Caution A problem exists where the MCU upgrade fails to complete and the IR829 stays in bootloader mode. The router will get stuck in ROMMON and must be RMA to Cisco. The IR829 should only be upgraded to IOS version 15.6(3)M x. For example:
If the IR829 is running 15.5(3)M1, DO NOT upgrade to 15.5(3)M2. Go straight to 15.6(3)M x.

Known Limitations

This release has the following limitations or deviations for expected behavior:

• The IR800 series is feature equivalent to the to C8xx series, however, support for this initial release has not implemented or validated for all features.

For example:

C8xx supports the following features under Ge0:

IR8xx supports the following:

• Show led command has a lag from the actual LEDs at first, then it stabilizes.
• Changing the default Guest OS CPU allocation may after the router performance. Detailed instructions are found in the Cisco IR829 Integrated Services Router Hardware Installation Guide and the Cisco IR809 Integrated Services Router Hardware Installation Guide.
