Caution 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 are likely to require an export license. Customer orders may be denied or subject to delay due to United States government regulations. When applicable, the purchaser or user must obtain local import and use authorizations for all encryption strengths. Contact your sales representative or distributor for more information, or send an e-mail to export@cisco.com.

Table 4, Part 1 and Table 4, Part 2, list the features and feature sets supported by Cisco IOS Release 12.0(15) for the Cisco 2600 Series. Both tables use the following conventions to identify features:

•Yes—The feature is supported in the feature set.

•No—The feature is not supported in the feature set.

Important Notes

Caveat CSCdr91706 and IOS HTTP Vulnerability

A defect in multiple releases of Cisco IOS software will cause a Cisco router or switch to halt and reload if the IOS HTTP service is enabled, browsing to http://router-ip/anytext?/ is attempted, and the enable password is supplied when requested. This defect can be exploited to produce a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability, identified as Cisco bug ID CSCdr91706, affects virtually all mainstream Cisco routers and switches running Cisco IOS software releases 12.0 through 12.1, inclusive. This is not the same defect as CSCdr36952.

The vulnerability has been corrected and Cisco is making fixed releases available for free to replace all affected IOS releases. Customers are urged to upgrade to releases that are not vulnerable to this defect as shown in detail below.

This vulnerability can only be exploited if the enable password is known or not set.

You are strongly encouraged to read the complete advisory, which is available at

http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/707/ioshttpserverquery-pub.shtml.

Product Number Change

Beginning with Cisco IOS Release 12.0(7)XK, Cisco changed the product numbers you use to order a specific Cisco IOS software image. In short, Cisco will remove the periods separating the release train, maintenance release, and build number. The following table provides some examples.

Old Product Number
New Product Number
Release
Image Description

S364AR1K2-12.0.7XK=

S364AR1K2-12007XK=

S26CP-12.0.14=

S26CP-12014=

Cisco IOS Release 12.0(14)

Cisco 2600 Series IOS IP Plus


Caveats

Caveats describe unexpected behavior in Cisco IOS software releases. Severity 1 caveats are the most serious caveats; severity 2 caveats are less serious. Severity 3 caveats are moderate caveats, and only select severity 3 caveats are included in the caveats document.

For information on caveats in Cisco IOS Release 12.0(15), see Caveats for Cisco IOS Release 12.0 that lists severity 1 and 2 caveats and select severity 3 caveats for Release 12.0 and is located on CCO and the Documentation CD-ROM.

Cisco IOS Software Documentation Set

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

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.
