The following sample show version command output is from a router running a Cisco 7200 series software image with Cisco IOS Release 12.3(14)YU1:
Router> show versionCisco IOS Software, 7301 Software (c7200-g8ik8s-mz), Version 12.3(14)YU1, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc1)Upgrading to a New Software Release
For general information about upgrading to a new software release, refer to Upgrading the Cisco IOS Software Release in Cisco Routers and Modems located at:
http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/732/
Feature Support
Cisco IOS software is packaged in feature sets that consist of software images that support specific platforms. The feature sets available for a specific platform depend on which Cisco IOS software images are included in a release. Each feature set contains a specific set of Cisco IOS features.
CautionCisco IOS images with strong encryption (including, but not limited to 168-bit (3DES) data encryption feature sets) are subject to U.S. 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 because of U.S. government regulations. When applicable, the 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.
The feature set tables have been removed from the Cisco IOS Release 12.3 release notes to improve the usability of the release notes documentation. The feature-to-image mapping that was provided by the feature set tables is available through Cisco Feature Navigator.
Cisco Feature Navigator is a web-based tool that enables you to determine which Cisco IOS 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.
To access Cisco Feature Navigator, you must have an account on Cisco.com. If you have forgotten or lost your account information, send a blank e-mail to cco-locksmith@cisco.com. An automatic check will verify that your e-mail address is registered with Cisco.com. If the check is successful, account details with a new random password will be e-mailed to you. Qualified users can establish an account on Cisco.com by following the directions found at this URL:
http://www.cisco.com/register

CSCei33960
A Cisco GGSN in GTP-SR redundancy configuration may unexpectedly reload under the following situations:
After one round of switchover, the new active GGSN (the previous standby GGSN) may unexpectedly reload during bulk-sync after the new standby GGSN boots up.
This unexpected reload may occur after the following sequence of events:
1.
The GGSN is loaded up as standby.
2.
The standby GGSN recreates PDPs and GTP paths as PDPs are synced from the active GGSN.
3.
The GTP path are deleted on the active but the deleted path may fail to sync to the standby GGSN due to whatever reasons.
4.
While the GTP path is present on the standby GGSN, the same GTP path is created again on the active due to new PDPs are created.
5.
The new created GTP path is synced to the standby.
6.
After the GTP path is deleted on the standby, the standby becomes the new active after switchover. Now if this new active does bulksync, it unexpectedly reloads.
There are no known workarounds.
