Additional command output lines include more information, such as:

Processor revision numbers

Memory amounts

Hardware IDs

Partition information

Cisco 1000 Series Routers and Platforms Supported

The following routers are supported by Cisco IOS Release 11.3:

New Hardware Support in Release 11.3(1)

The following platform enhancement has been added to Release 11.3:

Selective Packet Discard (SPD)—When in severe overload conditions, routers that cannot keep up with the incoming packet stream must drop packets. If no intelligence is applied to choosing which ones to discard, this impacts the stability of routing protocols. This feature applies some simple choices to selectively discard packets likely to be unimportant for routing and interface stability. SPD is enabled by default; there are no commands or configuration tasks required.

Cisco IOS Feature Sets for Cisco 1000 Series Routers

The Cisco IOS software is packaged into "feature sets" (also called "software images"). There are many different feature sets available, and each feature set contains a specific subset of Cisco IOS features. provides a matrix of the new feature set organization and shows which feature sets are available on the Cisco 1000 series routers. These feature sets only apply to Cisco IOS Release 11.3.

The tables use the following conventions to identify feature sets:

Yes: the feature set is offered for the platform

No: the feature set is not offered for the platform

Plus: a value-added option that contains a variable set of additional features depending on the hardware platform selected

Plus 40: a value-added option that contains a variable set of additional features depending on the hardware platform selected, including 40-bit data encryption

Plus 56: a value-added option that contains a variable set of additional features depending on the hardware platform selected, including 56-bit data encryption

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 might 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.

Upgrading to a New Software Release

If you are upgrading to Cisco IOS Release 11.3 from an earlier Cisco IOS software release, you should save your current configuration file before configuring your access server with the Cisco IOS Release 11.3 software. An unrecoverable error could occur during download or configuration.


Note   Before downloading a software upgrade, read Product Bulletin #703, Cisco IOS Software Release Upgrade Paths and Packaging Simplification. The information in this bulletin supersedes the following instructions.


For instructions on downloading a current Cisco IOS release from the CCO Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) server, go to the following URL. This URL is subject to change without notice.

http://www.cisco.com/kobayashi/sw-center

The Software Center window is displayed.


Step 1 Click Cisco IOS Software. The Cisco IOS Software window is displayed.

Step 2 Click Cisco IOS 11.3. The Cisco 11.3 Software Upgrade Planner window is displayed.

Step 3 Click Download Cisco IOS 11.3 Software. The Software Checklist window is displayed.

Step 4 Select the appropriate information in each section of the Software Checklist window.

Release

Software and hardware release

Step 5 Click Execute. The software release is downloaded to your desktop computer.

Step 6 Transfer the software release to a local TFTP server on your network using a terminal emulation software application such as TCP Connect.

Step 7 Log onto your router. Copy the software release from your TFTP server to your router, using the copy tftp command.

Memory Requirements

Table 6 and Table 7 describe the memory requirements for the Cisco 1000 series platform feature set 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 routers to take advantage of the Release 11.3 features, you must upgrade the code or main system memory. Some platforms have specific chip or architecture requirements that affect what can be upgraded and in what increments.

Important Notes

This section describes noteworthy issues about using the Cisco IOS Release 11.3 software.

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 (78-4746-01). For complete documentation of all source-route bridging commands, refer to the Bridging and IBM Networking Command Reference (78-4743-01). You can also obtain the most current documentation on the Documentation CD-ROM or Cisco Connection Online (CCO).

Caveats

A complete list of the caveats, including descriptions and possible workarounds, is available on the Documentation CD-ROM and on CCO:

On the Documentation CD-ROM, go to Cisco Product Documentation, select Cisco IOS Software Configuration, click Cisco IOS Release 11.3, then select Release Notes for Cisco IOS Release 11.3. From the bulleted list, select Important Notes and Caveats for Release 11.3.

On CCO, go to Software and Support, and select Documentation. Next, go to Cisco Documentation, click Cisco IOS Software Configuration, select Cisco IOS Release 11.3, and then select Release Notes for Cisco IOS Release 11.3. From the bulleted list, click Important Notes and Caveats for Release 11.3.

Each of the following sections lists the areas where caveats exist for a specific software release.

Caveats for Release 11.3(2)

Possibly unexpected behavior in Cisco IOS Release 11.3(2) exists in the following areas:

Basic System Services

Cisco Connection Online

Cisco Connection Online (CCO) is the Cisco Systems primary, real-time support channel. Maintenance customers and partners can self-register on CCO to obtain additional information and services.

Available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, CCO provides a wealth of standard and value-added services to Cisco customers and business partners. CCO services include product information, product documentation, software updates, release notes, technical tips, the Bug Navigator, configuration notes, brochures, descriptions of service offerings, and download access to public and authorized files.

CCO serves a wide variety of users through two interfaces that are updated and enhanced simultaneously: a character-based version and a multimedia version that resides on the World Wide Web (WWW). The character-based CCO supports Zmodem, Kermit, Xmodem, FTP, and Internet e-mail, and it is excellent for quick access to information over lower bandwidths. The WWW version of CCO provides richly formatted documents with photographs, figures, graphics, and video, as well as hyperlinks to related information.

You can access CCO in the following ways:

WWW:  http://www.cisco.com

WWW:  http://www-europe.cisco.com

WWW:  http://www-china.cisco.com

Telnet:  cco.cisco.com

Modem:  From North America, 408 526-8070; from Europe, 33 1 64 46 40 82. Use the following terminal settings: VT100 emulation; databits: 8; parity: none; stop bits: 1; and connection rates up to 28.8 kbps.

For a copy of CCO Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ), contact cco-help@cisco.com. For additional information, contact cco-team@cisco.com.

If you are a network administrator and need personal technical assistance with a Cisco product that is under warranty or covered by a maintenance contract, contact the Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC) at 800 553-2447, 408 526-7209, or tac@cisco.com. To obtain general information about Cisco Systems, Cisco products, or upgrades, contact 800 553-6387, 408 526-7208, or cs-rep@cisco.com.

Documentation CD-ROM

Cisco documentation and additional literature are available in a CD-ROM package, which ships with your product. The Documentation CD-ROM, a member of the Cisco Connection Family, is updated monthly. Therefore, it might be more current than printed documentation. To order additional copies of the Documentation CD-ROM, contact your local sales representative or call customer service. The CD-ROM package is available as a single package or as an annual subscription. You can also access Cisco documentation on the World Wide Web at http://www.cisco.com, http://www-china.cisco.com, or http://www-europe.cisco.com.

If you are reading Cisco product documentation on the World Wide Web, you can submit comments electronically. Click Feedback in the toolbar, select Documentation, and click Enter the feedback form. After you complete the form, click Submit to send it to Cisco. We appreciate your comments.
