Feature Set Tables

The Cisco IOS software is packaged in feature sets consisting of software images—depending on the platform. Each feature set contains a specific set of Cisco IOS features.

Cisco IOS Release 12.1 T supports the same feature sets as Cisco IOS Release 12.1, but Release 12.1 T can include new features supported by the Cisco 1400 series routers.


Caution   Cisco IOS images with strong encryption (including, but not limited to 168-bit (3DES) data encryption feature sets) are subject to United States 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 due to United States 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.

New and Changed Information

The following sections list the new hardware and software features supported by the Cisco 1400 series routers for Release 12.1 T.

New Software Features in Cisco IOS Release 12.1(5)T

The following new software features are supported by the Cisco 1400 series routers for Release 12.1(5)T:

AutoInstall Using DHCP for LAN Interfaces

The AutoInstall Using DHCP for LAN Interfaces feature replaces the use of the Bootstrap Protocol (BOOTP) with the use of the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) for Cisco IOS AutoInstall over LAN interfaces. AutoInstall is a Cisco IOS software feature which provides for the configuration of a new routing device automatically when the device is initialized. DHCP (defined in RFC 2131) is based on the Bootstrap Protocol, which provides the framework for passing configuration information to hosts on a TCP/IP network. DHCP adds the capability of automatic allocation of reusable network addresses and additional configuration options. In Cisco IOS release 12.1(5)T, the IP address procurement phase of the AutoInstall process is now accomplished using DHCP for Ethernet, Token Ring, and FDDI interfaces. Prior to this release, IP addresses for LAN interfaces were obtained using BOOTP during the AutoInstall process. The AutoInstall Using DHCP for LAN Interfaces feature also allows the routing device to recognize IP address allocation messages coming from regular BOOTP servers, providing a seamless transition for those devices already using BOOTP servers for AutoInstall. Additionally, this feature allows for the uploading of configuration files using unicast TFTP. For further details, please see the following document:

http://www.cisco.com/ univercd/cc/td/doc/product /software/ios121 /121newft/121t/ 121t5/dt_dhcpa.htm

Closed User Group Selection Facility Suppress Option

A closed user group (CUG) selection facility is a specific encoding element that allows a destination data terminal equipment (DTE) to identify the CUG to which the source and destination DTEs belong. The Closed User Group Selection Facility Suppress Option feature enables a user to configure an X.25 data communications equipment (DCE) interface or X.25 profile with a DCE station type to remove the CUG selection facility from incoming call packets destined for the preferential CUG only or for all CUGs. You can also remove the selection facility from a CUG with outgoing access (CUG/OA).

NAT - Support for NetMeeting Directory (Internet Locator Service - ILS)

Microsoft NetMeeting is a Windows-based application that enables multi-user interaction and collaboration from a users PC over the Internet or an intranet. Support for the NetMeeting Directory (ILS) allows connections by name from the directory built into the NetMeeting application. Destination IP addresses do not need to be known in order for a connection to be made.

NAT - Support of IP Phone to Cisco Call Manager

Cisco IP Phones use the Selsius Skinny Station Protocol to connect with and register to the Cisco Call Manager (CCM). Messages flow back and forth that include IP address and Port information which is used to identify other IP Phone users with which a call can be placed.

To be able to deploy Cisco IOS Network Address Translation (NAT) between the IP Phone and CCM in a scalable environment, NAT needs to be able to detect the Selsius Skinny Station Protocol and understand the information passed within the messages.

When an IP Phone attempts to connect to the CCM and it matches the configured NAT translation rules, NAT will translate the original source IP address and replace it with one from the configured pool. This new address is what will be reflected in the CCM and be visible to other IP Phone users.

NTP MIB

The Network Time Protocol (NTP) is used to synchronize timekeeping among a set of distributed time servers and clients. The Cisco NTP MIB enables users to remotely monitor an NTP server using the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), provided the MIB itself is implemented on that server. Use of the NTP MIB to monitor the NTP status of routing devices is accomplished using software on a Network Management System (NMS). There are no new or modified Cisco IOS software commands associated with this feature.

The Cisco implementation of the NTP MIB is based on NTP version 3 (RFC-1305). The MIB objects are all read-only. SNMP requests are processed by reading the corresponding variables from the NTP subsystem and returning them in the response. The NTP MIB defines a set of NTP server system objects, including an NTP server peers table and an NTP server filter register table. For complete details on the Cisco implementation of the NTP MIB, see the MIB file itself ("CISCO-NTP-MIB.my", available through Cisco.com at http://www.cisco.com/public/mibs/v2/).

Parser Cache

The Parser Cache feature optimizes the parsing (translation) of Cisco IOS software configuration command lines by remembering how to parse recently encountered command lines. This feature was developed to improve the the scalability of the Cisco IOS software command-line interface (CLI) parser when processing large configuration files. This improvement is especially useful for those cases in which thousands of virtual circuits must be configured for interfaces, or hundreds of access lists (ACLs) are required. The parser chain cache can rapidly recognize and translate configuation lines which differ slightly from previously used configuration lines (for example, pvc 0/100, pvc 0/101, and so on). Testing indicates an improvement to load time of between 30% and 36% for large configuration files when using the parser cache.

The parser cache is enabled by default on all platforms using Cisco IOS 12.1(5)T or later. A new command, [no] parser cache, allows the disabling or re-enabling of this feature.

No New Software Features in Cisco IOS Release 12.1(3)T

There are no new software feature supported by the Cisco 1400 series routers for Release 12.1(3)T.

New Software Features in Cisco IOS Release 12.1(2)T

The following new software feature is supported by the Cisco 1400 series routers for Release 12.1(2)T:

Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) over ATM Using Dialer Interfaces

Cisco IOS release 12.1(2)T supports Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) over ATM using dialer interfaces. This feature points static routes to a negotiated IP address.

You cannot point static routes to a negotiated IP address by cloning from virtual templates because you cannot point a static route to a virtual template or a virtual access interface. A virtual template only stores configuration commands and a virtual access is created and destroyed interface by cloning from dialer interfaces. You can therefore point static routes at this dialer interface.

This feature is related to caveat CSCdp19686.

OSPF Flooding Reduction

The explosive growth of the Internet has placed the focus on the scalability of Interior Gateway Protocols such as OSPF. The networks using OSPF are becoming larger every day and will continue to expand to accommodate the demand to connect to the Internet.

Internet Service Providers and customers with large networks have regularly complained that OSPF has a traffic overhead, even when the network topology is stable.

By design, OSPF requires link-state advertisements (LSAs) to be refreshed as they expire after 3600 seconds. Some implementations have tried to improve the flooding by reducing the frequency to refresh from 30 minutes to around 50 minutes or so.

This solution reduces the amount of refresh traffic but requires at least one refresh before the LSA expires. The OSPF Flooding Reduction feature works by reducing unnecessary refreshing and flooding of already known and unchanged information. To achieve this reduction, the LSAs are now flooded with the higher bit set, thus making them DoNotAge (DNA) LSAs.

New Software Features in Cisco IOS Release 12.1(1)T

The following new software feature is supported by the Cisco 1400 series routers for Release 12.1(1)T:

Service Assurance Agent Enhancements

The Service Assurance (SA) Agent is both an enhancement to and a new name for the Response Time Reporter (RTR) feature that was introduced in Cisco IOS Release 11.2. The feature allows you to monitor network performance between a Cisco router and a remote device (which can be another Cisco router, an IP host, or a mainframe host) by measuring key Service Level Agreement (SLA) metrics such as response time, network resources, availability, jitter, connect time, packet loss and application performance.This feature enables you to perform troubleshooting, problem analysis, and notifications based on the statistics collected by the SA Agent.

The SA Agent Enhancements feature introduces new performance measurement operations and enhancements to assist in the measurement of SLAs. With Cisco IOS Release 12.1(1)T, the SA Agent provides new capabilities that enable you to do the following:

Important Notes

The following sections contain important notes about Cisco IOS Release 12.1 T that can apply to the Cisco 1400 series routers.

Last Maintenance Release of Cisco IOS Release 12.1 T

The last maintenance release of the 12.1 T release train is 12.1(5)T. The migration path for customers who need bug fixes for the 12.1 T features is the 12.2 mainline release. The 12.2 mainline release has the complete feature content of 12.1 T and will eventually reach general deployment (GD).

The last maintenance release was renamed from 12.1(4)T to 12.1(5)T to synchronize with its parent software base, the 12.1(5) mainline release, and to reflect that 12.1(5)T has all the bug fixes of the 12.1(5) mainline release. The 12.1 T release train is a superset of the 12.1 mainline release; hence any defect fixed in the 12.1 mainline is also fixed in 12.1 T. The set of features for 12.1(4)T is the same as that for 12.1(5)T. There was no change in the feature content of the release. The release was renamed so that the releases would be consistent with the Cisco release process.

Caveat CSCdr91706 and IOS HTTP Vulnerability

A defect in multiple releases of Cisco IOS software will cause a Cisco router or switch to halt and reload if the IOS HTTP service is enabled, browsing to http://router-ip/anytext?/ is attempted, and the enable password is supplied when requested. This defect can be exploited to produce a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability, identified as Cisco bug ID CSCdr91706, affects virtually all mainstream Cisco routers and switches running Cisco IOS software releases 12.0 through 12.1, inclusive. This is not the same defect as CSCdr36952.

The vulnerability has been corrected and Cisco is making fixed releases available for free to replace all affected IOS releases. Customers are urged to upgrade to releases that are not vulnerable to this defect as shown in detail below.

This vulnerability can only be exploited if the enable password is known or not set.

You are strongly encouraged to read the complete advisory, which is available at http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/707/ioshttpserverquery-pub.shtml .

Flash defaults to Flash:1 on Multipartition Flash

When using a multipartition flash memory card, the various flash partitions are referred to as "flash:1:", "flash:2:", etc. If you specify only "flash" in a multipartition flash, the parser assumes "flash:1:." For example, if you enter show flash all the parser defaults to "show flash:1: all" and only the flash information for the first partition displays. To see information for all flash memory partitions, enter show flash ?. This will list all of the valid partitions. Then enter show flash:xx: all on each valid partition.

Traffic Shaping

On the ATM25 interface of the Cisco 1400 series there are two types of traffic shaping: hardware-based and software-based. Hardware-based traffic shaping is provided by the ATM SAR chip and is enabled on a per-pvc basis by one of the following IOS PVC configuration commands:

ubr <peak-cell-rate>

ubr+ <peak-cell-rate> <minimum-guaranteed-cell-rate>

vbr-nrt <peak-cell-rate> <sustainable-cell-rate> <maximum-burst-size>

The SAR chip has "rate counters" that control the rate at which the current buffer up for segmentation is going to be transmitted. Ideally, the SAR chip could be programmed with values for all of the above command parameters. Unfortunately, it only has the rate counters, which specify a divisor of the basic line rate of 25 Mbps and which really sets the maximum transmission rate (peak-cell-rate) for the channel. Note that with the ubr and ubr+ commands, the rate counter for the PVC is obtained from the <peak-cell-rate> parameter. With the vbr-nrt command, the rate counter is obtained from the <sustainable-cell-rate> parameter. While the <minimum-guaranteed-cell-rate> parameter in the ubr+ command and the <peak-cell-rate> parameter in the vbr-nrt command can be specified by the user, they are ignored by the ATM25 driver.

Software-based traffic shaping is enabled on a per-interface basis via the traffic-shape interface configuration command. For performance reasons, and since for ATM interfaces you most likely want to do shaping on a per-pvc basis, the ATM driver does not support software-based traffic shaping while fastswitching. However, if fast-switching is disabled and the traffic-shape interface configuration command is enabled, then software traffic shaping will occur. (See CSCdk28377 for more information.)
