Release Notes for Cisco IOS Release 11.2(11) Software Feature Packs for Cisco 2500 Series Routers

Release Notes for Cisco IOS Release 11.2(11) Software Feature Packs for Cisco 2500 Series Routers

January 26, 1998

These release notes describe the Cisco Internetwork Operating System (Cisco IOS) Release 11.2(11)P feature packs for Cisco 2500 series routers. This document contains the following sections:

Platforms Supported

The RSL supports the following Cisco 2500 series routers:


Note The Cisco AS2509-RJ and AS2511-RJ only support software images for Cisco IOS Release 11.2(5)P or later.

What Is a Feature Pack?

The heart of a Cisco IOS software feature pack is a CD-ROM that contains a software image and the Router Software Loader (RSL), a Windows 95 application that loads the image onto the access router or server. Each Cisco IOS Release 11.2 feature pack CD contains one feature set. The CD booklet, Getting Started with the Router Software Loader, explains how to use the RSL to install the router software. Users who cannot use the RSL can load images by following the instructions in the "Installing the Router Software Using a TFTP Server Application" section of this document.


Note The RSL is designed to work with a PC running Microsoft Windows 95 and is the recommended method for downloading software from the CD-ROM to the router.

Each Cisco IOS Release 11.2 software feature pack box contains the following:

Before running the RSL, read the section, "Installation Tips". If you are loading software on a preconfigured router, you should save the router configuration file on your PC before beginning the download process, as described in the CD booklet Getting Started with the Router Software Loader.

Using Cisco Feature Packs

The tables in the following sections describe the Cisco feature packs. Use these tables to perform the following tasks before loading a software image onto a router:

    1. Use Table 1 in the section "Product Numbers" to identify your software image.

    2. Use Table 2 in the section "Cisco Feature Pack and Memory Descriptions" to identify your feature pack and the memory required for your feature set, based on the image you run.

    3. Use Table 3 and Table 4 in the section "Cisco IOS Release 11.2(11)P Feature Sets" to identify which features are supported for a feature set on a specific platform.

    4. Check the memory required for your feature set against Table 5 in the section "Upgrading Cisco 2500 Memory" to determine the factory-default memory on the router and the available memory upgrades.

Loading Cisco IOS Release 11.2 Software on CiscoPro Routers

The RSL has an upgrade utility to permanently modify a CiscoPro router so that it accepts Cisco IOS Release 11.2 software images. The utility changes the router SysObjectID Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) MIB value (used for network management) to that of a Cisco router. The software banner also changes and no longer identifies the router as a CiscoPro product.


Note After this upgrade, CiscoVision cannot recognize your router. If you choose the permanent upgrade, CiscoWorks for Windows is a recommended replacement for network management purposes. To upgrade your CiscoVision software to CiscoWorks Windows 2.1, order one of the following: CPW-CVCW-U to Upgrade CiscoVision to CiscoWorks Windows (managing up to 50 nodes) or CPW-CVCW-ENT-U to Upgrade CiscoVision to CiscoWorks Windows (managing up to 500 nodes). For general information about Cisco Systems, Cisco products, or upgrades, contact 800 553-6387, 408 526-7208, or cs-rep@cisco.com.

The upgrade utility must be located in the Images directory. If it is not, the upgrade utility informs you that the image is not present. The Cisco 2500 series upgrade utility filename is cpa25-upgrade-l.112-3.P.

Installation Tips

This section describes some solutions to problems you might encounter when using the RSL. These solutions are additions to RSL online help.

Recovering From a Connection Error

Try increasing the Short Timeout value in the Options dialog box if you receive the following message when trying to connect to the router:

"Failed to configure the router to enable the Cisco IOS software image and configuration file upload and download operations. You may want to check the router to make sure that the selected interface exists."

This connection recovery method is particularly applicable when you are connecting to one of the following devices:


Note Increasing the Short Timeout value might increase the time it takes for the RSL to connect to the target router.

Restoring the Startup Configuration

In some cases, the RSL is unable to restore the startup configuration. If this happens, take the following steps:


Step 1   Ensure that all cables are properly attached to both the router and the PC.

Step 2   Restart the RSL, and connect by using the Preconfigured router option.

Step 3   When asked if you want to overwrite the existing startup configuration file, choose no.

Step 4   When asked if you want to continue, choose yes.

Step 5   When the router is connected, select Download Router Configuration in the Router Software Loader dialog box.

Step 6   Select the appropriate file, and click the radio button beside Copy configuration to the router nonvolatile memory.

The router should now contain the startup configuration it had before the initial RSL connection. You can now exit the RSL.


Note In the previous situation, the router configuration register is not restored.

Note If you enter Ctrl-Alt-Delete to terminate the RSL, the router configuration and configuration register are not restored. However, in this case the configuration file is not deleted from the PC, so you can restore it using the previous steps.

Helpful Hints

The following information about RSL operations can help you with the installation process:

Installing the Router Software Using a TFTP Server Application

Use this TFTP server application method as an alternative to using the RSL to install the router software from the CD-ROM. You can perform this procedure using a PC (running Microsoft Windows 95 or Microsoft Windows 3.1), a Macintosh, or a UNIX system. You can use either the copy tftp flash or copy rcp flash command to download the router software to the router.

First obtain a TFTP application or a remote copy protocol (rcp) application to set up your computer as a TFTP server or an rcp server. Use the RSL or the TFTP server included on the feature pack CD-ROM to install the router software only if you are using a PC running Windows 95. For other operating systems, a number of TFTP or rcp applications are available from independent software vendors or available as shareware from public sources on the World Wide Web.


Note To use an rcp application, follow the same procedure, and substitute rcp for TFTP in the instructions. Use the copy rcp flash command instead of the copy tftp flash command.

Step 1   Install any TFTP server application on the PC. (A PC application is included on the feature pack CD-ROM for Microsoft Windows 95 only.)

Step 2   Launch the TFTP server application on the PC, usually by double-clicking the application icon or its .exe filename.

Step 3   Set up the PC as a TFTP server by using the TFTP server application setup or configuration facility.

Most TFTP server applications include a setup facility that allows you to specify the PC as a server. For example, from the TFTP menu of one application, you can select Settings to display a panel that includes a checkbox beside the word Server. To configure the local PC as a server, click this checkbox.

The TFTP server also allows the selection of a "root" directory. You must select the directory in which the Cisco IOS files reside, for example, d:\cpswinst\images.

Caution Make sure you set up your local PC as a TFTP server. If you overlook this step, you cannot perform the copy procedure. This reminder also applies if you are using rcp instead of TFTP.

Step 4   Establish a console session from your local PC (which is now configured as a TFTP server) to the Cisco router by using one of these methods:

  This is the recommended method.When you reload the router with the new image in Step 25, you remain connected to the router. (If you use Telnet, you lose connection to the router.)

Step 5   Connect your PC Ethernet port to the corresponding router LAN port. Use the 10BaseT crossover cable to connect to an Ethernet port. Use straight-through cables if you are connecting via a 10BaseT hub or a 100BaseT hub.

Step 6   Enter the following commands to set the configuration register to 0x2101 and reload to the bootstrap image:

Router# config terminal Router(config)# config-reg 0x2101 Router(config)# end Router# reload

Step 7   Enter yes in response to the prompt asking if the system configuration has been modified:

# System configuration has been modified. Save? yes

Step 8   If the password prompt appears, enter the password.

Password:

Step 9   At the router prompt, enter enable and then the password:

Router(boot)> enable Password:

Step 10   If you are not upgrading a CiscoPro CPA2500 router, skip to Step 19.

Step 11   At the router prompt, enter the following command to copy the router upgrade utility from the PC CD-ROM drive to the router:

Router(boot)# copy tftp flash

Step 12   When prompted, enter the IP address of your PC, as in the following example:

Address or name of remote host [255.255.255.255]? 131.108.1.1

This is the IP address of your local PC, not the router. (Note that you can obtain your PC IP address from the DOS prompt in the windows directory by entering winipcfg, as follows: C:\WINDOWS> winipcfg.)

Step 13   When prompted, enter the filename of the image to be copied to the router as in the following example:

Source file name? cpa2500-upgrade-l.112-3.P

Step 14   In response to the following prompt, enter the destination filename, and press Enter.

Destination file name [cpa2500-upgrade-l.112-3.P]? cpa2500-upgrade-l.112-3.P

(This is the name of the image file on the router, not the full pathname of the image on the PC CD-ROM.)

During the transfer process, messages indicate that the software has accessed the file you have specified and is loading it.

If the file is not found, check the following:

If the file is still not found, create a temporary directory called C:\temp and copy the CiscoPro upgrade file into the directory. Select the C:\temp directory as the root directory.

Step 15   Enter yes in response to the prompt asking if you want to erase the existing image in the router Flash memory before copying the new one:

Erase flash device before writing? [confirm] yes

The entire copying process takes several minutes and differs from network to network. The exclamation point (!) indicates that the copy process is taking place. Each exclamation point indicates that ten packets have been transferred successfully. If you see three or more periods (...), the transfer might fail. If the transfer fails, check IP connectivity between the router and TFTP server by using the ping command.

Step 16   Enter the reload command to reload the router:

Router(boot)# reload

Do not save the configuration.

After reload is complete, your CiscoPro router has been upgraded to a Cisco Enterprise router. Because the original Cisco IOS image that resided in Flash memory was erased during the upgrade process, the router should now be running in bootstrap mode.

Step 17   If the password prompt appears, enter the password.

Password:

Step 18   At the router prompt, enter enable and then the password:

Router(boot)# enable Password:

Step 19   At the router prompt, enter the following command to copy the new software image from the PC CD-ROM drive to the router:

Router(boot)(config)# copy tftp flash

In the next series of steps, you download the Cisco IOS Release 11.2 images that you want installed on your router.

Step 20   When prompted, enter the IP address of your PC, as in the following example:

Address or name of remote host [255.255.255.255]? 131.108.1.1

This is the IP address of your local PC, not that of the router.

Step 21   When prompted, enter the filename of the Cisco IOS Release 11.2 image to be copied to the router, as in the following example:

Source file name? 80031718.bin

This example specifies the DOS image name of the IP feature set for Cisco 2500 series routers (as shown in Table 2 in the section, "Cisco Feature Pack and Memory Descriptions").

Step 22   In response to the prompt, enter the destination UNIX image filename, and press Enter.

This is the name of the image file on the router, not the full pathname of the image on the CD-ROM attached to the PC. Refer to Table 2 in the section, "Cisco Feature Pack and Memory Descriptions" for the UNIX image filename.

Destination file name [80031718.bin]? c2500-i-l

During the transfer process, the software displays messages indicating that it has accessed the file you have specified and is loading it.

Step 23   Enter yes in response to the prompt asking if you want to erase the existing image copy resident in the router Flash memory before copying the new one.

Erase flash device before writing? [confirm] yes

The entire copying process takes several minutes and differs from network to network.

The exclamation point (!) indicates that the copy process is taking place. Each exclamation point (!) indicates that ten packets have been transferred successfully. A checksum verification of the image occurs after the image is written to Flash memory.

Step 24   Enter the following commands to reset the configuration register to 0x2102.

Router(boot)(config)# config terminal Router(boot)(config)# config-reg 0x2102 Router(boot)(config)# end

Step 25   Enter the reload command to reload the router:

Router# reload

Caution If you upgraded a CiscoPro CPA2500 router, do not save the configuration when prompted.

After reload is complete, the router should be running the required Cisco IOS image. Use the show version command to verify.
