Release Notes for Cisco 7600 Series Routers for Cisco IOS Release 15.4(3)S
First Published: July 29, 2014
Introduction
These release notes include important information about the Cisco IOS Release 15.4(3)S that runs on the Cisco 7600 Series Routers. Use this document in conjunction with the previous Cross-Platform Release Notes for Cisco IOS Release 15.4S.
These release notes also include the limitations, restrictions, and caveats that apply to these releases.
You can verify that these release notes apply to your switch as follows:
- If you are installing a new switch, see the Cisco IOS release label on the rear panel of your switch.
- If your switch is on, use the show version privileged EXEC command. See the Determining the Software Version section.
For the complete list of Cisco 7600 Series Routers documentation, see the Related Documentation section.
You can download the switch software from this site (registered Cisco.com users with a login password):

System Requirements
This document describes the system requirements for Cisco IOS 15.4S releases and includes the following sections:
- Feature Support
- Memory Recommendations
- Hardware Supported
- Determining the Software Version
- Upgrading to a New Software Release
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 specific Cisco IOS features.
Caution Cisco 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.
Feature-to-image mapping 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). 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:

New and Changed Information
New Hardware Features in Release 15.4(3)S
There are no new hardware features in Cisco IOS Release 15.4(3)S.
PVST and LLDP enablement over 802.1ad
This feature provides Per VLAN Spanning Tree Plus (PVST+) and Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) support on Cisco 7600 Series Routers when using a 802.1ad network node interfaces (NNI) provider network.
For more information, see Cisco 7600 Series Router Software Configuration Guide, Cisco IOS Release 15S.
REP-AG Support and CFM CCM Notification on IOS
This feature supports support error detection and notification for a Resilient Ethernet Protocol Edge No-Neighbor port (RENN). RENN port is a port at the edge of a REP segment, connected to a peer device that does not support REP. This feature allows CFM to notify REP when an error is detected.
For more information, see Cisco 7600 Series Ethernet Services Plus (ES+) and Ethernet Services Plus T (ES+T) Line Card Configuration Guide.
EPL-1 support for MEF CE2.0 certification on 7600
This feature makes Cisco 7600 Series Routers compliant with Ethernet private line, type 1 (EPL-1) defined by Metro Ethernet Forum (MEF) CE2.0 by supporting option1, in addition to option2 supported earlier.
For more information, see Cisco 7600 Series Ethernet Services Plus (ES+) and Ethernet Services Plus T (ES+T) Line Card Configuration Guide.
ACR Support in CEM over UDP
This feature provides Access Circuit Redundancy (ACR) support for Local Switching deployments of all AC types and extending ACR support to CEM, IMA and ATM interfaces on 1xOC3 STM-1 Circuit Emulation over Packet SPAs (1CHOC3-CE-ATM).
