Release Notes for Cisco IOS Release 12.0(3)T Feature Packs for the Cisco AS5300

April 12, 1999

These release notes describe the Cisco IOS Release 12.0(3)T feature packs for Cisco AS5300 universal access servers and contain the following topics:

Introduction

This section explains how to use this document and describes feature pack components.

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, "Cisco AS5300 Default Memory and Upgrade Options," for the feature set memory requirements, and the factory-default memory and available memory upgrades for your Cisco AS5300.

    2. Use Table 3, "Feature Pack Product Numbers Quick-Reference List," to identify the software image you want to load.

    3. Use Table 4, "Cisco Feature Pack Image Filenames and Memory Requirements," to identify your feature pack and the memory required for your feature set, based on the image you load.

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

What Is a Feature Pack?

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

The heart of a feature pack is the CD-ROM that contains software images and the 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-ROM 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, you can follow the instructions in the "Alternatives to Using 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.

System Requirements

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 AS5300. These feature sets only apply to Cisco IOS Release 12.0(3)T:

Table 5 lists the features and feature sets supported by the AS5300 in Cisco IOS Release 12.0(3)T and uses 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.

Installation Notes

This section describes the following topics:

Installing Software Images Using RSL

This section covers some solutions to problems you might encounter when installing software images 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 access server or 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, especially if one of the following situations applies, try increasing the Short Timeout value higher than 25 seconds in the Options dialog box:


Note Increasing the Short Timeout value might increase the time it takes for 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.

Installation Tips

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

Alternatives to Using 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 includeds with the CD-ROM explains how to perform this simple install process. However, an alternative is available for installing router software: using a TFTP server application.

Installing the Router Software Using a TFTP or RCP Application

The Router Software Loader application contained on the feature pack CD-ROM is designed to work with a PC running Microsoft Windows 95.
