Release Notes for Cisco MC3810 for Cisco IOS Release 12.0 T
July 2, 2002
These release notes for the Cisco MC3810 multiservice access concentrator support Cisco IOS Release 12.0 T, up to and including Release 12.0(7)T. These release notes are updated as needed to describe new features, memory requirements, hardware support, software platform deferrals, and changes to related documents.
For a list of software caveats that apply to Release 12.0(7)T, refer to the document Caveats for Cisco IOS Release 12.0 T that accompanies these release notes. The caveats document is updated for every maintenance release and is located on Cisco Connection Online (CCO) and the Documentation CD-ROM.
Use these release notes with the cross-platform Release Notes for Cisco IOS Release 12.0 located on Cisco Connection Online (CCO) and the Documentation CD-ROM.

These release notes describe the following topics:
Introduction
As part of an enterprise backbone or as customer premises equipment (CPE) to serve provider-managed network services, the Cisco MC3810 multiservice access concentrator reduces operating costs and complexity, and increases network throughput and performance. The Cisco MC3810 is fully supported by Cisco IOS software for multiprotocol routing, bridging, and Systems Network Architecture (SNA).
To make file management easier, the Cisco MC3810 provides a complete file system for software images, message files, and reports. The standard Flash memory size is 8 MB, and a 16-MB upgrade option is available. The 16-MB version can hold two code images simultaneously for fail-safe upgrades.
Management and configuration of the Cisco MC3810 should be familiar to the Cisco IOS user and compatible with existing management systems. As such, it provides a superset of the Cisco command-line interface (CLI). The Cisco MC3810 can be managed by standard Cisco management platforms and facilities such as CiscoView and the native remote log-in facilities provided by Telnet and rlogin. Three types of configuration interfaces are provided:
•
Cisco CLI
•
•
The HTTP-based interface allows configuration from any Web browser such as Netscape Navigator or Microsoft Explorer. The SNMP MIB allows management of the Cisco MC3810 from SNMP managers (for example, HP OpenView).

Hardware Supported
Cisco IOS Release 12.0(7)T supports the Cisco MC3810 multiservice access concentrator. The Cisco MC3810 base chassis is a semi-fixed configuration router that can be customized for a specific application at the factory or in the field by a qualified technician. The base chassis includes the following components:
•
•
•
•
•
Cisco MC3810 series concentrators are supplied in various standard hardware configurations. These are equipped with different sets of functional modules to provide specific functional capability. Many configurations are possible, but they are all variations of the basic categories described in . Supported hardware is shown in . The chassis opening for any mounting area not equipped with a functional module is closed off with a removable cover plate.
