Cisco IOS XED Release 12.1(3)XI |
XED Release that will migrate to 12.1(3a)XI4 for maintenance fixes. |
Problem Description
Cisco does not recommend Cisco IOS Releases 12.1(3)T and 12.1(3a)T1 for networks using the H.323 and SIP Voice support on the products affected above.
Cisco IOS 12.1(3)T and 12.1(3a)T1 will not be deferred, due to H.323 or SIP issues, so other networks not requiring H.323 or SIP will continue to have their solution images available.
Background
H.323 and SIP issues have been traced to a software code change that was made in the handling of voice calls in 12.1(3)T. Major H.323 and SIP code modification has been made in 12.1(3a)XI to provide a solution to the issues encountered in 12.1(3)T and 12.1(3a)T1.
Cisco has removed 12.1(3)T images, for other issues, from CCO IOS Upgrade Planner and new orders as of July 24, 2000. Customers not requiring the H.323 or SIP Voice support are recommended to move to 12.1(3a)T1 or later 12.1T releases.
For more details on the removed images you can view the Cisco IOS Release 12.1(3) and 12.1(3)T Deferral Alert (registered customers only) .
Problem Symptoms
Numerous functionality and stability issues when using H.323 and SIP Voice support features in 12.1(3)T and 12.1(3a)T1. Cisco highly recommends to not use the affected releases.
Workaround/Solution
No Workaround. Cisco recommends H.323 and SIP users to:
-
Migrate to Cisco IOS Release 12.2(1) when available. See Software Migration Recommendation Section for details.
-
Migrate to Cisco IOS X ED Release rebuild 12.1(3a)XI4.
-
To view software fixes in 12.1(3a)XI4, see the table below.
-
For more details on 12.1(3)XI go to:
Note: Cisco IOS XED release 12.1(3a)XI has created rebuilds to provide a stable release. A rebuild is code from a previous build that adds new software fixes only. The reasons for the rebuilds are detailed below.
-
Cisco IOS XED Release 12.1(3a)XI1 has been deferred to deliver 12.1(3a)XI2 rebuild release.
-
Cisco IOS XED Release 12.1(3a)XI2 has been replaced to deliver 12.1(3a)XI3 rebuild release available. 12.1(3a)XI2 will continue to be available on CCO, but not available through new spare or system orders.
-
Cisco IOS XED Release 12.1(3a)XI3 has been replaced to deliver 12.1(3a)XI4 rebuild release. 12.1(3a)XI3 will continue to be available on CCO, but not available through new spare or system orders.

Software Migration Recommendation
Previous migration recommendations were to use 12.1(5)T. Due to 12.1(5)T migration path being 12.2(1), Cisco recommends H.323 and SIP users to continue with 12.1(3)XI rebuilds which has a planned migration to 12.2 mainline. In the event there is a need to migrate to 12.1(5)T, the info below describes which 12.1(3a)XI software fixes have been integrated into 12.1(5)T.
