End-of-Sales Feature Sets in Cisco IOS Software Release 12.4T and Suggested Migration Paths
Table 9 lists Cisco IOS Software feature sets that will be discontinued in Cisco IOS Software Release 12.3T, and suggested migration paths. It should be noted that other active release trains continue to issue maintenance releases of these feature sets. The end of sales applies only to Cisco IOS Software Release 12.3T.
Cisco SMARTnet and other support contracts are transferable from an end-of-sale image to any image suggested as a migration path.
The suggested migration paths are high-level directions for customers migrating from classic feature sets to the cross-platform feature sets introduced in Cisco IOS Software Release 12.3 Mainline. Cisco provides several tools to perform detailed analysis of feature content. To find out which Cisco IOS Software best supports your needs, Cisco recommends using the Cisco Software Advisor, Cisco IOS Software Upgrade Planner, and Cisco IOS Software Feature Navigator, allowing registered customers and partners to search by feature(s) or by release and compare different releases and feature sets.

Feature Area Map for Cisco IOS Software Release 12.4 Cross-Platform Feature Sets
The cross-platform feature sets are tailored to ease the choice of feature sets in a multiplatform environment. They were initially available for Cisco 1700, 2600XM, 3725, and 3745 series routers and the Cisco 2691 Multiservice Platform and are now also available for the Cisco 1800, 2800, and 3800 series routers. The cross-platform feature sets simplify the image selection process by providing similar functions across platform boundaries.
