•
Updating to a New Software Release
Memory Requirements
Table 1 describes the memory requirements for the Cisco AS5100 and Cisco AS5200 universal access servers' feature sets supported by Cisco IOS Release 11.3.
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 access servers to take advantage of the Release 11.3 features, you must upgrade the code or main system memory as listed in . Some platforms have specific chip or architecture requirements that affect what can be upgraded and in what increments.
Hardware Supported
Cisco IOS Release 11.3(11) supports the Cisco AS5100 and Cisco AS5200 universal access servers. For detailed descriptions of the new hardware features, see the "New and Changed Information" section. summarizes the hardware supported on the Cisco AS5100 and Cisco AS5200 universal access servers.
Determining the Version of Your Software Release
To determine the version of Cisco IOS software running on your Cisco AS5100 or Cisco AS5200, log in to the Cisco AS5100 or Cisco AS5200 and enter the show version EXEC command:
router>show versionCisco Internetwork Operating System SoftwareIOS (tm) 5200 Software (c5200-js-l), Version 11.3(11), RELEASE SOFTWAREUpdating to a New Software Release
For information about updating to a new software release, see the Cisco IOS Software Release Upgrade Paths product bulletin #703, located on CCO at:
Service & Support: Technical Documents: Product Bulletins
Under Cisco IOS Release 11.3, click Cisco IOS Software Release 11.3 Upgrade Paths (#703: 12/97).
This product bulletin does not contain information specific to Cisco IOS Release 11.3, but provides generic upgrade information that may apply to Cisco IOS Release 11.3.
Modem Code
Cisco IOS Release 11.2(1) and later includes bundled modem code for the Cisco AS5200, which is the firmware or portware that runs on the Microcom 12-port and MICA 6-port modem cards. Bundling eliminates the need to store separate microcode images. When the access server starts, the Cisco IOS software unpacks the modem code and loads the proper code on the modem cards.
Note
You could have received a later version of modem code than the one bundled with the Cisco IOS software. The modem code in Flash memory is mapped to the modems. Unless you fully understand how Cisco IOS software uses modem code, it is important to keep the factory configuration.
The modem code release notes are on CCO and the Documentation CD-ROM.

CautionCisco 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 are likely to require an export license. Customer orders may be denied or subject to delay due to United States government regulations. When applicable, 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.

New and Changed Information
The following section lists the new features supported by the Cisco AS5100 and Cisco AS5200 universal access servers in Cisco IOS Release 11.3.
No New Features in Release 11.3(11)
There are no new features supported by the Cisco AS5100 and Cisco AS5200 universal access servers in Cisco IOS Release 11.3(11).
Important Notes
The following sections contain important notes about Cisco IOS Release 11.3 that might apply to the Cisco AS5100 and Cisco AS5200 universal access servers.
ATM Multipoint Signaling
Prior to Cisco IOS Release 11.1(13) and 11.2(8), the atm multipoint-signaling command was used on the main interface and affected all subinterfaces. For Release 11.1(13), 11.2(8), and later releases (including Release 11.3), explicit configuration on each subinterface is required to obtain the same functionality. Refer to caveat CSCdj20944, which is described as follows:
The atm multipoint-signaling interface command is currently only available on the main ATM interface. The effect is that signaling behavior (point-to-point or point-to-multipoint) for all clients on all subinterfaces is determined by the command on the main interface.
Clients on different subinterfaces can behave differently. Specifically, 1577 requires point-to-point, and PIM allows point-to-multipoint. Use the command on a per subinterface basis.
Enable the atm multipoint-signaling command on all subinterfaces that require it. Previously, you only needed to enable the command on the main interface.
Cisco IOS Release 11.3, 11.3 NA, and 11.3 T End of Sales and End of Engineering
End of Engineering (EOE) means that there are no more regularly scheduled maintenance releases. The last maintenance release scheduled on the EOE date is only available through CCO and Field Service Operations—not through manufacturing.
•
Cisco IOS Releases 11.3, 11.3 NA, and 11.3 T are scheduled to reach End of Sales (EOS) status with maintenance Releases 11.3(10), 11.3(10)NA, 11.3(10)T.
•
Cisco IOS Releases 11.3, 11.3 NA, and 11.3 T are scheduled to reach End of Engineering (EOE) with Releases 11.3(11), 11.3(11)NA, and 11.3(11)T.
EOS and EOE releases are subject to change. For the most up-to-date information on the status of EOS or EOE, see the End of Sales and End of Engineering for Cisco IOS Software Releases product bulletins located on CCO.
Ongoing support for functionality in Releases 11.3, 11.3 NA, and 11.3 T is available in Cisco IOS Release 12.0(3)T and later maintenance releases of Cisco IOS Release 12.0 on CCO at:
Service & Support: Technical Documents: Product Bulletins: Software
Under Cisco IOS 11.3, click End of Sales and End of Engineering for Cisco IOS Software Releases 11.3 and 11.3 T (#847: 12/98) or Cisco IOS Software 11.3 NA EoS and EoE (#849:12/98)
Forwarding of Locally Sourced AppleTalk Packets
Cisco's implementation of AppleTalk does not forward packets with local source and destination network addresses. This behavior does not conform to the definition of AppleTalk in Inside AppleTalk. However, this behavior is designed to prevent any possible corruption of the AppleTalk Address Resolution Protocol (AARP) table in any AppleTalk node that collects MAC-addresses.
Missing Source-Route Bridging Commands
Due to a production problem, many source-route bridging commands were omitted from the printed version of the Cisco IOS Software Command Summary (78-4746-XX). For documentation of all source-route bridging commands, refer to the Bridging and IBM Networking Command Reference (78-4743-XX). You can also obtain the most current documentation on CCO or on the Documentation CD-ROM.
New TACACS+ Attribute-Value Pair
A new authorization feature that allows you to separately configure and authorize Multilink PPP was added in Cisco IOS Release 11.3(1). This feature can cause MLP authorization to fail in Terminal Access Controller Access Control System (TACACS+) servers that do not include authorization permissions in the configuration.
For TACACS+, add the following attribute-value (AV) pair for all users who are allowed to negotiate Multilink PPP:
service = ppp protocol = multilink {40-bit Encryption Images are Unavailable in Release 11.3(1)
Cisco is conducting an internal review of the build and distribution processes associated with its 40-bit Cisco IOS cryptographic products. To provide seamless access to Cisco IOS 40-bit encryption capability, Cisco will provide access to the most current 40-bit encryption images, beginning with Cisco IOS Release 11.2 (12), 11.2(12)P, and 11.3(2).
The following 40-bit encryption images are unavailable indefinitely:
•
11.2(1)-11.2(11.2)
•
11.2(2)P-11.2(11.1)P
•
11.2(1)F-11.2(4)F
•
11.3(1)
This review is not related to any new or previously unreported caveats. The information gathered in the review will be used to implement new automated development and order-processing applications.
Caveats
Caveats describe unexpected behavior in Cisco IOS software releases. Severity 1 caveats are the most serious caveats; severity 2 caveats are less serious.
This section only contains open and resolved caveats for the current Cisco IOS maintenance release.
For information on caveats in Cisco IOS Release 11.3, see "Important Notes and Caveats for Release 11.3" in Cross-Platform Release Notes for Cisco IOS Release 11.3 on CCO and the Documentation CD-ROM. These release notes contain caveats affecting all maintenance releases and list severity 1 and 2 caveats for Cisco IOS 11.3(11).

The Cisco IOS software documentation set consists of the Cisco IOS configuration guides, Cisco IOS command references, and several other supporting documents, which are shipped with your order in electronic form on the Documentation CD-ROM —unless you specifically ordered the printed versions.
Documentation Modules and Indexes
Each module in the Cisco IOS documentation set consists of two books: a configuration guide and a corresponding command reference. Chapters in a configuration guide describe protocols, configuration tasks, Cisco IOS software functionality, and contain comprehensive configuration examples. Chapters in a command reference provide complete command syntax information. Use each configuration guide with its corresponding command reference.
On CCO and the Documentation CD-ROM, two master hot-linked documents provide information for the Cisco IOS software documentation set.
You can reach these documents on CCO at:
Service & Support: Cisco Product Documentation: Cisco IOS Software Configuration: Cisco IOS Release 11.3: Cisco IOS 11.3 Configuration Guides, Command References: Configuration Guide Master Index or Command Reference Master Index
You can reach these indexes on the Documentation CD-ROM at:
Cisco IOS Software Configuration: Cisco IOS Release 11.3: Cisco IOS 11.3 Configuration Guides, Command References: Configuration Guide Master Index or Command Reference Master Index
