Image Information and Supported Platforms

Note You must have a Cisco.com account to download the software.

Cisco IOS Release 15.5(3)M includes the following Cisco IOS images:

- ir800-universalk9-bundle.155-3.M.bin

Cisco IOS Release 15.5(3)M includes support for the following IR800 series routers:

- IR829GW-LTE-GA-EK9

- IR829GW-LTE-GA-ZK9

- IR829GW-LTE-NA-AK9

- IR829GW-LTE-VZ-AK9

Note The ir800-universalk9-bundle.155-3.M.bin bundle must be copied via tftp to the IR829, and then installed using the bundle install flash:<image name> command. The ir800-universalk9-bundle.155-3.M.bin file can NOT be directly booted using the boot system flash:/image_name. Detailed instructions are found in the Cisco IR829 Integrated Services Router Hardware Installation Guide.

Note Do not configure ip ssh version 1, otherwise the bundle installation will fail.

Caution A problem exists where the MCU upgrade fails to complete and the IR829 stays in bootloader mode. The router will get stuck in ROMMON and must be RMA to Cisco. The IR829 should only be upgraded to IOS version 15.6(3)M x. For example:

If the IR829 is running 15.5(3)M1, DO NOT upgrade to 15.5(3)M2. Go straight to 15.6(3)M x.

Known Limitations

This release has the following limitations or deviations for expected behavior:

- The IR829 series is feature equivalent to the to C8xx series, however, support for this initial release has not implemented or validated for all features.

For example:

C8xx supports the following features under Ge0:

c819(config)#int gigabitEthernet 0

c819(config-if)#ethernet ?

cfm Ethernet CFM interface commands

dot1ad dot1ad port

lmi Ethernet LMI interface commands

loopback Ethernet Dataplane Loopback

oam Operations, Administration and Maintenance

uni Configure Ether UNI

vlan Configure Ethernet vlan

IR8xx supports the following:

IR800_2(config)#int gigabitEthernet 0

IR800_2(config-if)#ethernet ?

cfm Ethernet CFM interface commands

lmi Ethernet LMI interface commands

- The IR829 only supports software encryption in this release. Hardware encryption will be added in the next software release (MR1).

- Show led command has a lag from the actual LEDs at first, then it stabilizes.

- Changing the default Guest OS CPU allocation may after the router performance. Detailed instructions are found in the Cisco IR829 Integrated Services Router Hardware Installation Guide.

Caveats

Caveats describe unexpected behavior in Cisco IOS releases. Caveats listed as open in a prior release are carried forward to the next release as either open or closed (resolved).

IR829 is not getting GPS data after router bootup

: After router bootup, sometimes the modem is up but does not get GPS data.

Power cycle the modem.

- CSCuu45211

: Originally GobiSerial was connected to ttyUSB1, ttyUSB2, and ttyUSB3 in this scenario. After re-inserting the SIM, GobiSerial is now connected to ttyUSB0, ttyUSB1, and ttyUSB2 with USB interface is still connected.

- CSCuu49331

LED status report is inconsistent across different commands

will sometimes show yellow, sometimes shows green.

: Remove the device that has been denied for power allocation

- CSCuu60617

Media-type rs485 is configurable under IR829 serial port 0 interface (async1), however the serial port 1 (async1) interface does not support media-type rs485.

: When you configure 'media-type rs485" under the async1 interface, the configuration is acceptable.

: None

- CSCuu42865

command has high temperature threshold

Example:

The low and high values are on the higher side.
