Release Notes for Cisco IOS Release 11.2


June 16, 2004

Text Part Number 78-3648-27 Rev. I0

These release notes describe the features and caveats for Cisco IOS Release 11.2, up to and including Release 11.2(26g). They include all routing and access server features.

Cisco IOS Release 11.2(13) and all subsequent 11.2 releases are deemed "Generally Deployable." (For Cisco RSP7000/7500 images, 11.2(13a) is the "Generally Deployable" release number.) Cisco believes Release 11.2 is suitable for deployment anywhere in the network where the features and functionality of the release are required.


Note Cisco IOS Release 11.2(26) is the last scheduled maintenance release for Cisco IOS Release 11.2. TAC support will continue to be available. These release notes will be the last release notes published for Cisco IOS Release 11.2.

Supported Feature Sets for 11.2

In Cisco IOS Release 11.2, feature sets have been updated to make it easier to select the exact feature sets you need. Feature set names are simplified and are more consistent across Cisco hardware platforms. In addition, you can add options to the standard feature set offerings. These options provide additional features and value, based on the hardware platform selected. Cisco also continues to offer specialized feature sets for key applications.

Table 1 provides a matrix of the new feature set organization and shows which feature sets are available on the various hardware platforms. These feature sets only apply to Cisco IOS Release 11.2.

An explanation of the table entries follows:

Basic. The basic feature set for the hardware platform.

Plus. The basic feature set plus a variable set of additional features depending on the hardware platform selected.

Encryption. The addition of 40-bit (Plus 40) or 56-bit (Plus 56) data encryption feature sets.

Cisco IOS images with strong encryption (including, but not limited to 56-bit DES) are subject to U.S. Government export controls, and have a limited distribution. Images to be installed outside the U.S. require an export license. Customer orders may be denied or subject to delay due to U.S. Government regulations. Contact your sales representative or distributor for more information, or send e-mail to export@cisco.com.


Note Release 11.2 introduces new feature-set image names for several feature sets that were available in earlier releases. For example, the prefix "igs-" has been replaced with "c2500-." Image names have been changed to facilitate identifying the platform on which the image runs. See the section "New and Changed Information" for more information.

Determining Your Software Release

To determine the version of Cisco IOS software currently running on your Cisco network device, log in to the device and enter the show version EXEC command:

Router> show version

Cisco Internetwork Operating System Software

IOS (tm) 11.2(23) Software (C2500-D-L), Version 11.2(23), RELEASE SOFTWARE

Additional command output lines include more information, such as processor revision numbers, memory amounts, hardware IDs, and partition information.

Upgrading to a New Software Release

If you are upgrading to Cisco IOS Release 11.2 from an earlier Cisco IOS software release, you should save your current configuration file before installing Release 11.2 software on your router.

For general information about upgrading to a new software release, see the product bulletin Cisco IOS Upgrade Ordering Instructions on Cisco.com at:

Software Center: Cisco IOS Software: Product Bulletins: Software: General System Software Bulletins

Microcode Software

Table 6 lists the current microcode versions for the Cisco 7000 series. Table 7 lists the current microcode versions for the Cisco 7500 series. Note that for the Cisco 7000 and Cisco 7500 series, microcode software images are bundled with the system software image—with the exception of the Channel Interface Processor (CIP) microcode (all system software images) and Versatile Interface Processor (VIP) microcode (certain system software images). Bundling eliminates the need to store separate microcode images. When the router starts, the system software unpacks the microcode software bundle and loads the proper software on all the interface processor boards. Versatile Interface Processor (VIP and VIP2) microcode is bundled into all Cisco 7500 series feature sets listed in Table 11.


Note For the Cisco 7000 series, all boards must use the Level 10 (or greater) microcode that is bundled (except CIP) with the system image.

2 RSP2, VIP, VIP2, and VIP2C microcode reside within the Cisco IOS software; they are not "bundled" in.

3 VIP2C was introduced in Release 11.2(2).


Channel Interface Processor (CIP) Microcode

Beginning with Cisco IOS Release 11.1, the CIP microcode is no longer bundled with the Cisco IOS software image. You must have Flash memory installed on the Route Processor (RP) card and 8 MB RAM installed on your CIP card to use the IBM channel attach features in Cisco IOS Release 11.1 and later. See the "Important Notes" section for more information about CIP microcode.

Microcode Revision History

Cisco 7000 series routers using a Route Processor/Silicon Switch Processor (RP/SSP) or Route Processor/Switch Processor (RP/SP) combination

Cisco 7500 series routers and Cisco 7000 series using an RSP7000 (see the "Route Switch Processor (RSP) Microcode Revision History" section)

ATM Interface Processor (AIP) Microcode Revision Summary

AIP Microcode Version 10.16

AIP Microcode Version 10.16 fixes the following:

AIP Microcode Version 20.8 may cause the AIP card to lock into a state where it transmits corrupted packets, causing a debug ATM error showing "ATM(ATM9/0.1): VC(1) Bad SAP..." at the receive side of the ATM VC. The transmission of data is usually affected in one direction only. The problem may occur when the input traffic exceeds the average rate configured on the ATM VC, when the bandwidth of the incoming interfaces exceeds the average rate on the outgoing VC or SVC.

A workaround is either to downgrade the AIP microcode to aip20-6 or to upgrade the AIP microcode to rsp_aip205-5, or aip20-9 when available. A short-term workaround is clear interface atm 5/0 on the transmit side.

The same problem applies for aip10-15 on RP-based platforms. [CSCdi67812]

ATM traffic is lost during an online insertion or removal (OIR) event of an RSP4 card. [CSCdi66076]

AIP Microcode Version 10.17

AIP Microcode Version 10.17 fixes the following:

Online insertion and removal (OIR) causes ATM to fail in Cisco 7507 routers. [CSCdi75659]

The AIP sometimes hangs. [CSCdi60941]

The AIP microcode does not support configurable LBO settings. [CSCdi72800]

The AIP sometimes fails to set up a DS3 scramble. [CSCdi57924]

Fast Ethernet Interface Processor (FEIP) Microcode Revision Summary

FEIP Microcode Version 10.5

FEIP Microcode Version 10.5 fixes the following:

The FEIP MII interface fails to reset if there is OIR of another card in the router. [CSCdi82350]

There is a failure of both ping and telnet to HSRP virtual addresses on FastEthernet. [CSCdi92485]

FEIP Microcode Version 10.6

FEIP Microcode Version 10.6 fixes the following:

Under unusual circumstances the cBus restarts. This seems to happen because there is a bit set that requires a response within 20 ms. It appears that under high stress conditions the cBus is unable to respond appropriately, causing a restart. [CSCdi92811]

A Cisco 7500 series router may resign its active HSRP status when configured on an FEIP if no other router is on the segment. The workaround is to turn off HSRP. [CSCdi93012]

FEIP Microcode Version 10.7

FEIP Microcode Version 10.7 fixes the following:

Enabling FEIP in RP/SP 7000 causes the error message "CBUS-3-INITERR with Error (8021)." [CSCdj14743]

FEIP Microcode Version 10.9

FEIP Microcode Version 10.9 fixes the following:

On a Cisco 7200 series router, the Fast Ethernet interface stays up even when there are no media-independent interface (MII) transceivers or keepalives. Under normal conditions, If the no keepalive or keepalive 0 command is configured on Fast Ethernet, the line stays up when the MII is removed or the cable is disconnected. However, if the interface is then reconfigured with the keepalive non-zero value command while the physical media stays down, the link still indicates that it is up. The workaround is to issue the shut command followed by the no shut command, or issue the clear interface command.[CSCdk66019]

FEIP Microcode Version 10.10

Modification

FEIP Microcode Version 10.10 fixes the following:

The CX-FEIP-2FX is not recognized by IOS Release 11.2(19). [CSCdm78673]

Token Ring Interface Processor (TRIP) Microcode Revision Summary

TRIP Microcode Version 20.1

TRIP Microcode Version 20.1 fixes the following:

A SpyGlass problem causes the command queue to the Spyglass to overflow. The symptom of this problem is a "ctrucheck" at location 0x925 in trip10-3.

The DMA engine appears to "clock in" the memd address an extra time or increment the memd address an extra time. The obvious symptom is an "800E" (output stuck).

With transmit frames, the prototype Access Control byte is invalid (bit 0x10 is set).

TRIP Microcode Version 20.2

TRIP Microcode Version 20.2 fixes the following:

Online insertion and removal (OIR) of any card in a router that has TRIP microcode causes problems. [CSCdi75287]

Image Naming in Release 11.2

Release 11.2 introduces new feature-set image names for several feature sets that were available in earlier releases. For example, the prefix "igs-" has been replaced with "c2500-." Image names have been changed to facilitate identifying the platform on which the image runs. New prefixes are shown in Table 8.

Table 8 Old and New Image Name Prefixes 

Old Prefix
New Prefix in Release 11.2

c2500

xx

c4000

as5200

c5200

c7000


The contents of feature sets for some platforms has changed in Release 11.2. Table 9 lists image names in Release 11.1 that have been replaced by new sets in Release 11.2. If you normally use an image from Release 11.1 or earlier that is not available in Release 11.2, use the equivalent image shown in Table 9. New images contain as many features as earlier ones, and include new features for Release 11.2.

Memory Recommendations for Release 11.2

Beginning with Cisco IOS Release 10.3, some software image sizes exceed 4 MB and, when compressed, exceed 2 MB. Also, some systems now require more than 1 MB of main system memory for data structure tables.

For Cisco routers to take advantage of the Release 11.2 features, you must upgrade the code or main system memory as listed in Table 10. Some platforms have specific chip or architecture requirements that affect what can be upgraded and in what increments.


Note For the Cisco 7000 and Cisco 7010 routers to recognize Flash memory cards, 11.0 boot ROMs (or later) are required.

Feature Set Tables

The Cisco IOS software is available in different feature sets depending upon the platform. Table 11 lists the feature sets for the Cisco 7500 and Cisco 7000 series. Table 12 lists the feature sets for the Cisco 7200 series. Table 13 lists the optional feature set licenses for the Cisco 7000, Cisco 7200, and Cisco 7500 series. Table 14 lists the feature sets for the Cisco 2500 series, Cisco 4000, Cisco 4500, and Cisco 4700 series. Table 15 lists platform-specific feature sets for the Cisco 2500 series and Cisco AS5100. Table 16 lists the feature sets for the Cisco AS5200. Table 17 lists the software for the Cisco 1003 and Cisco 1004 ISDN routers and the Cisco 1005 router. Table 18 lists platform-specific software for the Cisco 1005 router.

The tables use the following conventions to identify features:

Yes: the feature is offered in the basic feature set

No: the feature is not offered in the feature set

Plus: the feature is offered only in the Plus feature sets, not in the basic feature set

Encrypt: for the Cisco 7500 series, the feature is offered only in the encryption feature sets (Encryption 40, Plus 40, Encryption 56, or Plus 56), not in the basic feature set


Note Encryption is not available on the Cisco AS5200, Cisco 7000 series, and Cisco 7200 series platforms.

Some Cisco platforms incorporate plus features into their basic feature sets.

On the 7500 series, IRB supports IP, IPX, and AppleTalk; it is supported for transparent bridging, but not for SRB; it is supported on all media-type interfaces except X.25 and ISDN bridged interfaces; and IRB and concurrent routing and bridging (CRB) cannot operate at the same time.

5 The Novell IPX feature includes display SAP by name, IPX Access Control List violation logging, and plain-English IPX access lists.

6 Note that the only IPX encapsulation supported in ISL is 802.3.

7 ISDN support includes calling line identification (ANI), X.25 over the B channel, ISDN subaddressing, and applicable WAN optimization features. Asynchronous ISDN Access (V.120) is only supported in the Enterprise feature set.

8 PPP includes support for LAN protocols supported by the feature set, address negotiation, PAP and CHAP authentication, and PPP compression.

9 Custom and priority queueing is not currently supported on SMIP or MIP cards.

10 IPX header compression (RFC 1553) is available in the feature sets that support IPX.

11 X.25 and Frame Relay payload compression.

12 NFS is supported on the Cisco 7500 series and Cisco 7000 series with a Route Switch Processor (RSP) only. NFS supports IP over all interfaces with optimal performance on Ethernet, FDDI, and HDLC.

13 Named IP Access Control List can only be used by packet and route filters, it is not backward-compatible with earlier Cisco IOS releases, and is not supported with Distributed Fast Switching.

14 On the Cisco 7000, NAT is supported with the RSP option only.

15 For more details on the new data encryption options, see the beginning of the section "Supported Feature Sets for 11.2," page 3 Encryption is not supported on the Cisco 7000.
