February 15, 1999

These release notes describe the Cisco IOS Release 12.0(2)XC feature packs for Cisco 2600 series routers. Cisco IOS Release 12.0(2)XC is based on Cisco IOS Release 12.0(2)T.

Use these release notes in conjunction with the Release Notes for Cisco IOS Release 12.0 located on Cisco Connection Online (CCO) and the Documentation CD-ROM.

Contents

These release notes discuss the following topics:

Introduction

This section explains how to use this document, describes feature pack components, and has tables that define the aspects of a feature pack.

How to Use These Release Notes

The tables in these release notes contain details about the Cisco feature packs. Use these tables to perform the following tasks before loading a software image onto a router:

1. Use Table 1, "Feature Pack Product Numbers Quick-Reference List," to identify the software image you want to load.

2. Use Table 2, "Cisco 2600 Series Feature Packs," to identify your feature pack and the memory required for your feature set, based on the image you load.

3. Use Table 3 and Table 4, "Cisco IOS Software Feature Sets for the Cisco 2600 Series, Part 1" and "Cisco IOS Software Feature Sets for the Cisco 2600 Series, Part 2," to identify which features are supported in a feature set image.

4. Use Table 5, "Cisco 2600 Series Default Memory and Upgrade Options," to check the memory required for your feature set, determine the factory-default memory on the router, and view the available memory upgrades.

5. Use the "Feature Set Tables" to identify which features are supported in a feature set image.

What Is a Feature Pack?

This section describes:

Feature Pack Components

A feature pack is a small box that contains the following items:

The heart of a feature pack is the CD-ROM that contains software images and the Router Software Loader (RSL), which is a Windows 95 application that loads an image onto an access router or server. Each feature pack CD-ROM contains at least one Cisco IOS feature set. The CD booklet, Getting Started with the Router Software Loader, explains how to use the RSL to install the router image. If you cannot use the RSL to load images, see the "Alternatives to the RSL" section.

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

Feature Set Tables

The Cisco IOS software is packaged into feature sets (also called images). Many different feature sets are available, and each feature set contains a specific subset of Cisco IOS features. The following conventions are used to identify feature sets:

Cisco IOS images with strong encryption (including, but not limited to, 56-bit DES) are subject to U.S. government export controls and have a limited distribution. Images to be installed outside the U.S. require an export license. Customer orders might be denied or subject to delay due to U.S. government regulations. Contact your sales representative or distributor for more information, or send e-mail to export@cisco.com.

The following list shows which feature sets are supported on the Cisco 2600 series routers. These feature sets only apply to Cisco IOS Release 12.0(2)XC:

To determine what features are available with each feature set, see Table 3 and Table 4.


Cisco IOS images with strong encryption (including, but not limited to, 56-bit data encryption feature sets) are subject to U.S. government export controls, and have a limited distribution. Images to be installed outside the U.S. require an export license. Customer orders might be denied or subject to delay due to U.S. government regulations. Contact your sales representative or distributor for more information, or send e-mail to export@cisco.com.

Both tables use the following conventions to identify features:


Note      This feature set table contains only a selected list of features. This table is not a cumulative or complete list of all the features in each image.

Software Compatibility

The feature packs described in these release notes contain Cisco IOS Release 12.0(2)XC software images, some earlier images, and the Router Software Loader (RSL) Version 7.3. Before running RSL, read the "Installing Software Images Using RSL" section.

Determining Your Software Release

To view the version of Cisco IOS software that is running on your Cisco 2600 series router, log in to the router, and enter the show version user EXEC command:

router> show version

The output begins similar to the following. The Cisco IOS version appears in the second line.

Cisco Internetwork Operating System Software
IOS (tm) 2600 Software (C2600-I-MZ), Version 12.0(2)XC, RELEASE SOFTWARE

The output includes more information including processor revision numbers, memory amounts, hardware IDs, and partition information.

Installation Notes

This section provides solutions to problems you might encounter when using the RSL to load Cisco IOS software on a router. It also includes instructions on installing the software using the console or auxiliary port or a TFTP server.

Installing Software Images Using RSL

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

Recovering From a Connection Error

This installation tip provides a possible recovery solution if you are unable to connect to your router. You can skip this section unless you are experiencing a connection error.

In some cases, you might receive the following error message while connecting to the target access server:

"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."

If you encounter this message, try increasing the Short Timeout value in the Options dialog box from 25 seconds, especially if one of the following situations applies:


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


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 (config-register 0xnnnn) is not restored.



Note      If you press 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, beginning with Step 2.


Helpful Hints

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

Alternatives to the RSL

The RSL is designed to work with a PC running Microsoft Windows 95 and is the recommended method for downloading software to the router. The booklet included with the CD-ROM explains how to perform this simple install process; however, two alternatives are available for installing router software:

Installing the Router Software Using the Console or Auxiliary Port

This section explains how to use the copy xmodem flash command to install the router software from the CD-ROM onto the router.


Note      The transfer takes place only on the port at which you issue the command. If you download via the console, all console output is discarded for the duration of the transfer. You can only download files to the router; you cannot copy files from the router. Cisco recommends using the auxiliary port for this type of software download. The auxiliary port has hardware flow control and full modem control. In addition, the transfer does not occupy the system console.


The following example shows how to use the copy xmodem flash command on a Cisco 2600 series router.

Router# copy xmodem flash
**** WARNING ****
x/ymodem is a slow transfer protocol limited to the current speed
settings of the auxiliary/console ports. The use of the auxiliary
port for this download is strongly recommended.
During the course of the download no exec input/output will be
available.

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, which allows you to configure the local PC as a server.

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.


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:

  • Connect the PC com port to the router console port.

This is the recommended method. When you reload the router with the new image in Step 16, you remain connected to the router. (If you use Telnet, you lose connection to the router.)

  • Establish a Telnet session from the PC to the router.

Make sure your PC is set up to communicate with the 10BaseT Ethernet port on 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, a 100BaseT hub, or a Token Ring MAU.


Note We recommend that you back up the router configuration before upgrading the router software.


Step 6   Enter yes when asked if the system configuration has been modified:

# System configuration has been modified. Save? yes

Step 7   Enter yes when asked to confirm the reload:

Proceed with reload? [confirm] yes

Wait for the router to reload.

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

Password: <password>

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

Router(boot)> enable
Password: <password>

Step 10   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 12.0 image that you want installed on your router.

Step 11   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 12   When prompted, enter the filename of the Cisco IOS Release 12.0 image to be copied to the router, as in the following example:

Source file name? aaa0189.bin

This example specifies the DOS image name of the IP feature set for Cisco 2600 series routers (as shown in Table 2 in the "Cisco 2600 Series Feature Packs" section).

Step 13   In response to the destination address prompt, enter the destination UNIX image filename, and press Enter.

This is the name of the image file on the router, not the full path of the image on the CD-ROM attached to the PC. Refer to Table 2 in the section, "Cisco 2600 Series Feature Packs" for the UNIX image filename.

Destination file name [aaa0189.bin]? c2600-i-mz.120-2.xc2

Step 14   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.

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

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 15   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 16   Enter the reload command to reload the router:

Router# reload

After reload is complete, the router should be running the desired Cisco IOS image. Use the show version command to verify that you have the correct image.
