Cross-Platform Release Notes for Cisco IOS Release 12.2S


September 24, 2008

Cisco IOS Release 12.2(30)S1

OL-2586-09 Rev. Q1

These release notes support Cisco IOS Release 12.2S up to and including Cisco IOS Release 12.2(30)S1. These release notes are updated as needed to describe new features, memory requirements, hardware support, software platform deferrals, and related documents.


Note Cisco IOS Release 12.2(30)S and its rebuilds support only the Cisco ONS 15530 and Cisco ONS 15540 platforms. These releases do not introduce new hardware or software features but integrate resolved caveats.


Cisco IOS Release 12.2S is based on Cisco IOS Release 12.2 and is tailored for service provider and large-scale enterprise networks. Cisco IOS Release 12.2S includes features that were initially supported in Cisco IOS Release 12.2. Additionally, Cisco IOS Release 12.2S integrates features from Cisco IOS Release 12.0S, Release 12.0ST, and Release 12.1E.

For a list of the software caveats that apply to Cisco IOS Release 12.2S, see the "Caveats" section and the Caveats for Cisco IOS Release 12.2 document. The caveats document is updated for every maintenance release and is located on Cisco.com.

Use these release notes in conjunction with the Cross-Platform Release Notes for Cisco IOS Release 12.2 document located on Cisco.com.

We recommend that you view the field notices for this release to see if your software or hardware platforms are affected. If you have an account on Cisco.com, you can find field notices at http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/tech_tips/index/fn.html.

Introduction

Cisco IOS Release 12.2(14)S was the first general availability release of this software. Many of the features and the hardware supported in this software have been previously released to customers on other software releases.

For information on new features and Cisco IOS commands that are supported by Cisco IOS Release 12.2S, see the "New and Changed Information" section and the "Caveats" section.

Early Deployment Releases

These release notes describe the Cisco 7200 series routers, Cisco 7301 router, Cisco 7304 routers, Cisco 7400 series routers, Cisco 7500 series routers, Cisco ONS 15530 platform, and Cisco ONS 15540 platform for Cisco IOS Release 12.2S, which is an early deployment (ED) release based on Cisco IOS Release 12.2. Early deployment releases contain fixes for software caveats and support for new Cisco hardware and software features. Table 1 shows the Cisco IOS Release 12.2S early deployment releases for the above-mentioned platforms.

Table 1 Early Deployment Releases for the Cisco 7200 Series, Cisco 7301, Cisco 7304, Cisco 7400 Series, Cisco 7500 Series, Cisco ONS 15530, and Cisco ONS 15540

System Requirements

This section describes the system requirements for Cisco IOS Release 12.2S and includes the following sections:

Memory Recommendations

Supported Hardware

Determining the Software Version

Upgrading to a New Software Release

Microcode Software

Feature Support

Memory Recommendations

The memory recommendation tables have been removed from the Cisco IOS Release 12.2S release notes to improve the usability of the release notes documentation. The memory recommendations that were provided by these tables are available through Cisco Feature Navigator.

Cisco Feature Navigator is a web-based tool that enables you to determine which Cisco IOS and Catalyst OS software images support a specific set of features and which features are supported in a specific Cisco IOS image. You can search by feature or by feature set (software image). Under the release section, you can compare Cisco IOS software releases side by side to display both the features unique to each software release and the features that the releases have in common.

Cisco Feature Navigator is updated regularly when major Cisco IOS software releases and technology releases occur. For the most current information, go to the Cisco Feature Navigator home page at the following URL:

http://www.cisco.com/go/fn

For frequently asked questions about Cisco Feature Navigator, see the FAQs at the following URL:

http://tools.cisco.com/ITDIT/CFN/jsp/help.jsp

Determining Memory Recommendations for Software Images (Feature Sets)

To determine memory recommendations for software images (feature sets) in Cisco IOS Release 12.2S, go to the Cisco Feature Navigator home page and perform the following steps.


Step 1 From the Cisco Feature Navigator home page, click Search by Software/Image Name/Product Code/Platform.

Step 2 To find the memory recommendations for the latest Cisco IOS release, click the release under the Cisco IOS Quick Pick Latest Release area. For other releases, go to Step 3.

a. Choose All Platforms from the Platform drop-down list

b. Choose All Feature Sets from the Feature Set drop-down list.

The Search Results table will list all the software images (feature sets) that support the release that you chose, plus the DRAM and flash memory recommendations for each image.

Step 3 If the release is not listed in the Cisco IOS Quick Pick Latest Release area, choose IOS from the Software drop-down list, and click Continue.

a. Choose a release from the Major Release drop-down list, and click Continue again.

b. Choose a specific release from the Release drop-down list.

c. Choose All Platforms from the Platform drop-down list

d. Choose All Feature Sets from the Feature Set drop-down list.

The Search Results table will list all the software images (feature sets) that support the release that you chose, plus the DRAM and flash memory recommendations for each image.
