New and Changed Information
The following sections list the new hardware and software features supported by the Cisco 3600 series for Cisco IOS Release 12.2(2)XB15.
New Hardware and Software Features in Cisco IOS Release 12.2(2)XB13 to Cisco IOS Release 12.2(2)XB15
No new hardware and software features are supported by the Cisco 3600 series for Cisco IOS Release 12.2(2)XB13 to Cisco IOS Release 12.2(2)XB15.
Note Cisco IOS Release 12.2(2)XB13 does not exist.
New Hardware and Software Features in Cisco IOS Release 12.2(2)XB12
Cisco IOS Release 12.2(2)XB12 does not support the Cisco 3600 series.
New Hardware and Software Features in Cisco IOS Release 12.2(2)XB11
No new hardware or software features are supported by the Cisco 3600 series in Cisco IOS Release 12.2(2)XB11.
New Hardware and Software Features in Cisco IOS Release 12.2(2)XB9 to Cisco IOS Release 12.2(2)XB10
Cisco IOS Release 12.2(2)XB9 to Cisco IOS Release 12.2(2)XB10 do not support the Cisco 3600 series.
Note Cisco IOS Release 12.2(2)XB9 is not distributed for widespread availability.
New Hardware and Software Features in Cisco IOS Release 12.2(2)XB6 to Cisco IOS Release 12.2(2)XB8
No new hardware or software features are supported by the Cisco 3600 series for Cisco IOS Release 12.2(2)XB6 to Cisco IOS Release 12.2(2)XB8.
New Hardware Features in Cisco IOS Release 12.2(2)XB5
No new hardware features are supported by the Cisco 3600 series for Cisco IOS Release 12.2(2)XB5.
New Software Features in Cisco IOS Release 12.2(2)XB5
The following new software features are supported by the Cisco 3600 series for Cisco IOS Release 12.2(2)XB5:
EAP RADIUS Support
The EAP RADIUS Support feature allows users to apply to the client authentication methods that may not be supported by the network access server; this is done via the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP). Before this feature was introduced, support for various authentication methods for PPP connections required custom vendor-specific work and changes to the client and NAS.
EAP is an authentication protocol for PPP that supports multiple authentication mechanisms that are negotiated during the authentication phase (instead of the link control protocol [LCP] phase). EAP allows a third-party authentication server to interact with a PPP implementation through a generic interface.
MS CHAP Version 2
The MS CHAP Version 2 feature in Cisco IOS Release 12.2(2)XB5 introduces the ability of Cisco routers to utilize Microsoft Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol Version 2 (MSCHAP V2) authentication for PPP connections between a computer using a Microsoft Windows operating system and a network access server (NAS). MSCHAP V2 authentication is an updated version of MSCHAP that is similar to, but incompatible with MSCHAP. MSCHAP V2 introduces mutual authentication between peers and a change password feature.
New Hardware and Software Features from Cisco IOS Release 12.2(2)XB1 to Cisco IOS Release 12.2(2)XB4
No new hardware or software features are supported by the Cisco 3600 series from Cisco IOS Release 12.2(2)XB1 to Cisco IOS Release 12.2(2)XB4.
New Hardware Features in Cisco IOS Release 12.2(2)XB
The following new hardware features are supported by the Cisco 3600 series for Cisco IOS Release 12.2(2)XB:
1- and 2- Port V.90 Modem WICs for Cisco 2600 and 3600 Series
The 1- and 2-port V.90 modem WAN interface cards (WICs) for Cisco 2600 and 3600 series multiservice platforms provide low-density integrated modems for remote management, dial-backup, and low-density remote-access servers (RAS).
Refer to the Cisco WAN Interface Card Hardware Installation Guide for further information at http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/access/acs_mod/cis2600/hw_inst/wic_inst/wic_doc/index.htm.
See also the "1- and 2- Port V.90 Modem WICs for Cisco 2600 and 3600 Series" below.
New Software Features in Cisco IOS Release 12.2(2)XB
The following new software features are supported by the Cisco 3600 series for Cisco IOS Release 12.2(2)XB:
1- and 2- Port V.90 Modem WICs for Cisco 2600 and 3600 Series
Three applications are available for the V.90 modem WIC on the Cisco 2600 and Cisco 3600 series Multiservice Platforms:
Remote Router Management and Out-of-Band Access
In this mode, the modem WIC is used as a dial-in modem for remote terminal access to the router's command-line interface (CLI) for configuration, troubleshooting, and monitoring. The modem WIC acts similar to a modem that is connected to the AUX port of a router, but the integrated nature of the modem WIC greatly decreases customer configuration time and deployment and sustaining costs. Typically, the 1-port modem WIC is used for this application. Connection speeds of up to 33.6 kbps are possible.
Asynchronous Dial-on-Demand Routing and Dial-Backup
In this mode, the V.90 modem WIC transports network traffic. When ISDN service is not available and the traffic load does not justify a leased-line or Frame Relay connection, asynchronous dial-on-demand routing (DDR) is often the only choice for making a WAN connection. Even at sites that do have leased-line or Frame Relay connection, asynchronous DDR can increase bandwidth during sustained traffic load. In addition, when the primary leased-line or Frame Relay link is down during an outage, asynchronous dial-backup provides a secondary way to make the WAN connection. Both the 1-port and 2-port versions of the V.90 modem WIC can be used for this application.
Low-Density Analog RAS Access
In this application, the V.90 modem WIC enables the platform to provide the services of a typical small remote access server (RAS). One service allows remote users to dial in and gain access to resources on the LAN (or even across the WAN). The analog modems in the modem WIC allow dial-in connection speeds of up to 33.6 kbps, but MLP can bind multiple links together and increase the throughput.
Refer to the following document for further information:
http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/software/ios122/122newft/122limit/122x/122xb/122xb_2/ft12pwic.htm
ATM Software Segmentation and Reassembly (SAR)
The Cisco 2600 series T1/E1 ATM AAL2 and AAL5 support and Cisco 3660 T1 IMA AAL2 Support feature allows the Cisco 2600 series to carry voice and data traffic over ATM networks using AAL2 and AAL5 and the Cisco 3660 to support AAL2 voice traffic.
For the Cisco 2600 series, this feature works in conjunction with the T1/E1 Multiflex Voice/WAN interface card (VWIC), which is plugged into a WIC slot to provide one ATM WAN interface at a T1/E1 rate supporting up to 24/30 channels of voice.
T1/E1 ATM support is a time-to-market feature that helps service providers take advantage of the inherent quality of service (QoS) features of ATM multiservice applications. FR-ATM (FRF.5 and FRF.8) internetworking is supported on the Cisco 2600 series.
On the Cisco 3660 a T1 IMA Network Module is used as the IMA interface providing a maximum of one ATM IMA interface that supports up to 48/60 voice channels. Up to eight T1/E1s and multiple IMA groups are permitted, but only the first IMA group supports voice over AAL2 for up to 48/60 voice channels. NM-IMA already supports AAL5 on both the Cisco 2600 and Cisco 3600 series (not just 3660).
The Cisco 2600 series T1/E1 ATM portion of this feature provides a shared implementation of the ATM features currently available on the Cisco MC3810 with the Cisco 2600 series.
Refer to the following document for further information:
http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/software/ios122/122newft/122limit/122x/122xb/122xb_2/ft_t1atm.htm
AIM-Voice-30, AIM-ATM-Voice-30
Three types of Advanced Integration Module (AIM) provide components that provide segmentation and reassembly (SAR) of packets for ATM transport over a wide-area network (WAN) and voice digital signal processing (DSP) services. The Cisco 2600 series has one internal slot for an AIM, and the Cisco 3660 has two. The three types of AIM are as follows:
•AIM-ATM—A High-Performance ATM AIM, which enables voice and data traffic to be carried over ATM networks using AAL2 and AAL5 encapsulation, when installed in Cisco 2600 series or Cisco 3660 routers. If used in conjunction with a T1/E1 multiflex trunk voice/WAN interface card (VWIC-MFT) for circuit-mode data and frame-mode data over ATM infrastructures, it supports up to four T1 or E1 WAN interfaces. These interfaces may be four independent links or four inverse multiplexing over ATM (IMA) groups. When using the voice DSP capability of a digital T1/E1 packet voice trunk network module (NM-HDV) and a T1/E1 multiflex trunk VWIC, it supports as many as 30 channels of compressed voice over a T1/E1 trunk using AAL2 or AAL5. Analog Voice over ATM (VoATM) is enabled with a voice/fax network module (NM-1V or NM-2V) and a voice interface card, which support as many as four analog voice calls using AAL5. All voice interface cards are supported: FXS, FXO, Analog-DID, E&M, and BRI.
•AIM-VOICE-30—An advanced integration module capable of supporting up to 30 voice or fax channels when used with one of the T1/E1 voice/WAN interface cards (such as VWIC-1T1). This AIM includes powerful DSPs that are used for a number of voice processing tasks such as voice compression and decompression, voice activity detection or silence suppression, and private branch exchange (PBX) or public switched telephone network (PSTN) signaling protocols. By using the AIM-VOICE-30 in a Cisco 2600 series router, customers can support Voice over IP (VoIP) or Voice over Frame Relay (VoFR) while leaving the router's network module slot open for other functions such as asynchronous or synchronous serial concentration. When used in combination with one of the various ATM network modules, VoATM or VoIP over ATM can be provisioned using AAL5 and Voice over AAL2 (VoAAL2).
•AIM-ATM-VOICE-30—a combined ATM and DSP AIM that supports voice over ATM (VoATM), voice over IP (VoIP), and voice over Frame Relay (VoFR). It supports as many as four T1 or E1 trunks when installed in a Cisco 2600 series or Cisco 3660 router. This AIM is used in combination with one T1/E1 multiflex trunk interface (VWIC-MFT) to provide PBX or PSTN signaling protocols. It uses VoAAL2 (ITU I.366.1/I.363.2) and VoAAL5, and does not require use of a digital T1/E1 packet voice trunk network module. This AIM has an onboard ATM coprocessor for increased AAL2 and AAL5 performance, and for as many as four IMA groups, enabling fractional T3 or E3 bandwidth performance.
Refer to the following document for further information:
http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/software/ios122/122newft/122limit/122x/122xb/122xb_2/ft_gins2.htm
Call Transfer Capabilities Using Refer
Call transfer allows a wide variety of decentralized multiparty call operations. These decentralized call operations form the basis for third-party call control, and thus are important features for Voice over IP (VoIP) and SIP. Call transfer is also critical for conference calling, where calls can transition smoothly between multiple point-to-point links and IP level multicasting.
Refer to the following document for further information:
http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/software/ios122/122newft/122limit/122x/122xb/122xb_2/ftrefer.htm
Cisco Gateway Management Agent (CGMA)
The CGMA feature provides an extensible markup language (XML) interface to support real-time management of a Cisco IOS gateway (GW). Currently, GWs provide statistics using Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) and do not support real-time polling. The CGMA feature allows GWs to communicate with third-party management applications using XML over TCP/IP.
Refer to the following document for further information:
http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/software/ios122/122newft/122limit/122x/122xb/122xb_2/ft_cgma.htm
Configurable PSTN Cause Code to SIP Response Mapping
For calls to be established between a SIP network and a PSTN network, the two networks must be able to interoperate. One aspect of their interoperation is the mapping of PSTN cause codes, which indicate reasons for PSTN call failure or completion, to SIP status codes or events. The opposite is also true: SIP status codes or events are mapped to PSTN cause codes. Event mapping tables found in this document show the standard or default mappings between SIP and PSTN.
However, you may want to customize the SIP user agent software to override the default mappings between the SIP and PSTN networks. The Configurable PSTN Cause Code to SIP Response Mapping feature allows you to configure specific map settings between the PSTN and SIP networks. Thus, any SIP status code can be mapped to any PSTN cause code, or vice versa. When set, these settings can be stored in the NVRAM and are restored automatically on bootup.
Refer to the following document for further information:
http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/software/ios122/122newft/122limit/122x/122xb/122xb_2/ftmap.htm
DTMF Relay using NTE
The SIP NTE DTMF relay feature is used for the following applications:
•Reliable DTMF Relay
•SIP Phone Support
Note The SIP NTE DTMF relay feature is implemented for SIP calls only on Cisco Voice-over-IP (VoIP) gateways.
Reliable DTMF Relay
The SIP NTE DTMF relay feature provides reliable digit relay between Cisco VoIP gateways when a low bandwidth codec is used. Using NTE to relay DTMF tones provides a standardized means of transporting DTMF tones in Real-Time Transport Protocol (RTP) packets according to section 3 of RFC 2833, RTP Payload for DTMF Digits, Telephony Tones and Telephony Signals, developed by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) Audio/Video Transport (AVT) working group. RFC 2833 defines formats of NTE RTP packets used to transport DTMF digits, hookflash, and other telephony events between two peer endpoints.
Note The SIP NTE DTMF relay feature does not support hookflash generation for advanced features such as call waiting and conferencing.
SIP Phone Support
The SIP NTE DTMF relay feature adds SIP phone support. When SIP IP phones are running software that does not have the capability to generate DTMF tones, the phones use NTE packets to indicate DTMF digits. With the SIP NTE DTMF relay feature, Cisco VoIP gateways can communicate with SIP phones that use NTE packets to indicate DTMF digits. The Cisco VoIP gateways can relay the digits to other endpoints.
Refer to the following document for further information:
http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/software/ios122/122newft/122limit/122x/122xb/122xb_2/ft_dtmf.htm
Full Functionality Long Pound
This feature allows an IVR application to detect a long pound (new call request) at any point after the gateway accepts the incoming call. When the calling-party presses "long #", the gateway terminates any current or pending call state and initiates a new call setup.
For further information, refer to the TCL IVR API Version 2.0 Programmer's Guide at http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/access/acs_serv/vapp_dev/tclivrv2.htm.
GKTMP Security Token Enhancement
GKTMP Security Token Enhancement enhances the passing of clear tokens up to the RouteServer and then down to the endpoints from the RouteServer. This feature provides enhancements to mix and match local (in domain) gateways with remote access server determinations. It also adds new parameters to the following commands
•Response ARQ
•Request LRQ
•Response LRQ
•Request LCF
•Response LCF
•Request DRQ
These new parameters can be found in GKTMP Messages (GK API Guide Version 3.1) chapter of the Gatekeeper External Interface Reference, Version 3.1 at http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/software/ios122/rel_docs/gktmpv31/gk_tmp.htm
GKTMP Interface Resiliency Enhancement
Gatekeeper Transaction Message Protocol (GKTMP) is used between the Cisco IOS Gatekeeper and a server to provide enhanced call routing and address translation services. The GKTMP Interface Resiliency Enhancement feature adds the following robustness and load balancing functionality.
•Enhanced REQUEST DRQ Message—The Gatekeeper Transaction Message Protocol (GKTMP) Interface Resiliency Enhancement feature provides additional parameters in the disengage request (REQUEST DRQ) message sent from the GK to the server.
•New REQUEST ALV and RESPONSE ALV Messages— The REQUEST ALV message is sent to detect server failures and is sent from the GK to the GKTMP server as soon as the server registers with the GK. The GKTMP server responds to the REQUEST ALV message with a RESPONSE ALV message.
•Server Failure Detection and Flow Control—The GKTMP Interface Resiliency Enhancement feature provides a new command to start the GK's flow-control and failure detection features. Using the server flow-control command, you can set a timeout value for responses from the server to the GK. The GK measures the average time taken by the server to process each transaction. If the time period for processing reaches 80 percent of the configured timeout value, the server is marked as unavailable.

IOS Telephony Services - IP-Keyswitch
The IP Keyswitch feature provides Cisco IP phone call-handling capabilities in a LAN environment. This feature enables the Cisco IAD2400 series to provide IP Keyswitch capability integrated in the router for the Cisco IP Phone 7960, Cisco IP Phone 7940, and Cisco IP Phone 7910. It loads phone images, and configures, and manages the Cisco IP phones in your LAN. It also provides a host of features such as call forwarding, call transfer, and hold, for example. The IP Keyswitch feature provides you with integrated call processing capabilities for a small office with up to 48 extensions.

MGCP-Based Fax (T.38) and DTMF Relay
The MGCP Based Fax (T.38) and DTMF (IETF) Relay feature adds support for fax relay and DTMF relay with MGCP. The fax relay component conforms to ITU-T T.38, Procedures for real-time Group 3 facsimile communication over IP networks, which determines procedures for real-time facsimile communication in various gateway control protocol (XGCP) applications. The DTMF relay component conforms to RFC 2833, RTP Payload for DTMF Digits, Telephony Tones and Telephony Signals, developed by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) Audio/Video Transport (AVT) working group. Per RFC 2833, DTMF is relayed using Named Telephony Events (NTEs) in Real-Time Transport Protocol (RTP) packets.
This feature provides two modes of implementation for each component: gateway (GW)-controlled mode and call agent (CA)-controlled mode. In GW-controlled mode, GWs negotiate DTMF and fax relay transmission by exchanging capability information in Session Description Protocol (SDP) messages. That transmission is transparent to the CA. GW-controlled mode allows use of the MGCP Based Fax (T.38) and DTMF (IETF) Relay feature without upgrading the CA software to support the feature.
In CA-controlled mode, CAs use MGCP messaging to instruct GWs to process fax and DTMF traffic. For MGCP T.38 Fax Relay, the CAs can also instruct GWs to revert to GW-controlled mode if the CA is unable to handle the fax control messaging traffic; for example, in overloaded or congested networks.

MGCP VoIP Call Admission Control
MGCP CAC determines if calls can be accepted on the IP network based on available network resources. Prior to this release, MGCP VoIP calls were established regardless of the available resources on the gateway or network. The gateway had no mechanism for gracefully refusing calls if resources were not available to process the call. New calls would fail with unexpected behavior and in-progress calls would experience quality-related problems.
Refer to the following document for further information:

RADIUS Packet of Disconnect
This feature consists of a method for terminating a call that has already been connected. This "Packet of Disconnect" (POD) is a RADIUS access_reject packet and is intended to be used in situations where the AAA server wants to disconnect the user after the session has been accepted by the RADIUS access_accept packet. This may be needed in at least two situations:
•Detection of fraudulent use, which cannot be performed before accepting the call.
•A price structure so complex that the maximum session duration cannot be estimated before accepting the call. This may be the case when certain types of discounts are applied or when multiple users use the same subscription simultaneously.
Refer to the following document for further information:
http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/software/ios122/122newft/122limit/122x/122xb/122xb_2/ft_pod.htm
RFC2782 Compliance for DNS SRV
SIP on Cisco VoIP gateways uses Domain Name System Server (DNS SRV) query to determine the IP address of the user endpoint. The query string has a prefix in the form of "protocol.transport." and is attached to the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the next hop SIP server. This prefix style, from RFC 2052, has always been available; however, with this release, a second style is also available. The second style is in compliance with RFC 2782, and prepends the protocol label with an underscore "_"; as in "_protocol._transport.". The addition of the underscore reduces the risk of the same name being used for unrelated purposes. The form compliant with RFC 2782 is the default style.
Use the srv version command to configure the DNS SRV feature.
For further information, refer to the RFC2782 Compliance (Style of DNS SRV Queries) section at http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/software/ios122/122newft/122limit/122x/122xb/122xb_2/vvfresrv.htm.
SIP Gateway Support for Bind Command
In previous releases of Cisco IOS software, the source address of a packet going out of the gateway was never deterministic. That is, the session protocols and VoIP layers always depended on the IP layer to give the best local address. The best local address was then used as the source address (the address showing where the SIP request came from) for signaling and media packets. Using this nondeterministic address occasionally caused confusion for firewall applications, as a firewall could not be configured with an exact address and would take action on several different source address packets.
However, the bind interface command allows you to configure the source IP address of signaling and media packets to a specific interface's IP address. Thus, the address that goes out on the packet is bound to the IP address of the interface specified with the bind command. Packets that are not destined to the bound address are discarded.
When you do not want to specify a bind address, or if the interface is down, the IP layer still provides the best local address.
Refer to the following document for further information:
http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/software/ios122/122newft/122limit/122x/122xb/122xb_2/ftbind.htm
SIP Gateway Support of RSVP and "tel" URL
The SIP Gateway Support of RSVP and TEL URL feature provides the following SIP enhancements:
•RSVP
•Telephone URL Format in SIP Messages
•Interaction with Forking Proxies
•SIP Hairpinning
•Reliability of SIP Provisional Responses
•Configurable Screening Indicator
•RFC2782 Compliance (Style of DNS SRV Queries)
RSVP
In previous Cisco IOS releases, SIP applications over IP networks functioned as best-effort services — their media packets were delivered with no performance guarantees. However, SIP Gateway Support of RSVP and TEL URL ensures quality of service (QoS) by coordinating SIP call signaling and RSVP resource management. This feature reserves sufficient network-layer resources to guarantee bandwidth and bounds on packet loss, delay, and jitter; thus ensuring that the called party's phone rings only after bandwidth required for the call has been successfully reserved.
Telephone URL Format in SIP Messages
The SIP Gateway Support of RSVP and TEL URL feature also supports Telephone Uniform Resource Locators or TEL URL. Currently SIP gateways support URLs in the SIP format. SIP URLs are used in SIP messages to indicate the originator, recipient, and destination of the SIP request. However, SIP gateways may also encounter URLs in other formats, such as TEL URLs. TEL URLs describe voice call connections. They also enable the gateway to accept TEL calls sent through the Internet, and to generate TEL URLs in the request line of outgoing INVITEs requests.
Interaction with Forking Proxies
Support for call forking enables the terminating gateway to handle multiple requests and the originating gateway to handle multiple provisional responses for the same call. Interaction with forking proxies applies to gateways acting as a user agent client (UAC), and takes place when a user is registered to several different locations. When the UAC sends an INVITE message to a proxy, the proxy forks the request and sends it to multiple user agents (UAs). The SIP gateway processes multiple 18X responses by treating them as independent transactions under the same call ID. When the relevant dial peers are configured for QoS, the gateway maintains state and initiates RSVP reservations for each of these independent transactions. When it receives an acknowledgment, such as a 200 OK, the gateway accepts the successful acknowledgment and destroys state for all other transactions.
The forking functionality sets up RSVP for each transaction only if the dial peers are configured for QoS. If not, the calls proceed as best-effort.
SIP Hairpinning
SIP hairpinning is a call routing capability in which an incoming call on a specific gateway is signaled through the IP network and back out the same gateway. This can be a public switched telephone network (PSTN) call routed into the IP network and back out to the PSTN over the same gateway. Similarly, SIP hairpinning can be a call signaled from a line (for example, a telephone line) to the IP network and back out to a line on the same access gateway. With SIP hairpinning, unique gateways for ingress and egress are no longer necessary.
Reliability of SIP Provisional Responses
SIP reliable provisional responses ensure that media information is exchanged and resource reservation can take place prior to connecting the call. Provisional acknowledgement (PRACK) and conditions met (COMET) are two methods that have been implemented.
PRACK allows reliable exchanges of SIP provisional responses between SIP endpoints. COMET indicates if the pre-conditions for a given call or session have been met.
Configurable Screening Indicator
Screening Indicator (SI) is a signaling-related information element found in octet 3a of the ISDN SETUP message that can be used as an authorization mechanism for incoming calls. Enhancements have been made to the Tool Command Language (TCL) Interactive Voice Response (IVR) 2.0 command set that allow SIP terminating gateways to assign a specific value to the screening indicator through the use of TCL scripts.
RFC2782 Compliance (Style of DNS SRV Queries)
SIP on Cisco VoIP gateways uses Domain Name System Server (DNS SRV) query to determine the IP address of the user endpoint. The query string has a prefix in the form of "protocol.transport." and is attached to the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the next hop SIP server. This prefix style, from RFC 2052, has always been available; however, with this release, a second style is also available. The second style is in compliance with RFC 2782, and prepends the protocol label with an underscore "_"; as in "_protocol._transport." The addition of the underscore reduces the risk of the same name being used for unrelated purposes. The form compliant with RFC 2782 is the default style.

SIP Intra-Gateway Hairpinning
Voice SIP hairpinning is a call routing capability in which an incoming call on a specific gateway is signaled through the IP network and back out the same gateway. This can be a public switched telephone network (PSTN) call routed into the IP network and back out to the PSTN over the same gateway.
Similarly, SIP hairpinning can be a call signaled from a line (for example, a telephone line) to the IP network and back out to a line on the same access gateway. With SIP hairpinning, unique gateways for ingress and egress are no longer necessary.
For further information refer to the Session Interface Protocol section in the "Voice, Video, and Fax Overview" chapter of the Cisco IOS Voice, Video, and Fax Configuration Guide, Release 12.2 at http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/software/ios122/122cgcr/fvvfax_c/vvfover.htm.
SIP INVITE Request with Malformed Via Header
A SIP INVITE requests that a user or service participate in a session. Each INVITE contains a Via header that indicates the transport path taken by the request so far, and where to send a response.
In the past, when an INVITE contained a malformed Via header, the gateway would print a debug message and discard the INVITE without incrementing a counter. However, the printed debug message was often inadequate, and it was difficult to detect that messages were being discarded.
The SIP INVITE Request with Malformed Via Header feature provides a response to the malformed request. A counter, Client Error: Bad Request, increments when a response is sent for a malformed Via field. Bad Request is a class 400 response and includes the explanation Malformed Via Field. The response is sent to the source IP address (the IP address where the SIP request originated) at User Datagram Protocol (UDP) port 5060.
Note This feature applies to messages arriving on UDP, because the Via header is not used to respond to messages arriving on TCP.

SIP T.37 and Cisco Fax
SIP T.37 is an ITU specification that enables store and forward fax applications, as well as toggling from voice to fax, for example, providing an IVR front-end to a fax store and forward application.

Survivability Remote Site Telephony
The Survivable Remote Site Telephony feature provides the Cisco CallManager with fallback support for the Cisco IP phones attached to the router on your local Ethernet. Cisco IOS Release 12.1(5)YD integrates this feature on the Cisco IAD2400 series and enables the routers to provide call handling support for the Cisco IP phones when the Cisco IP phones lose connection to the remote primary, secondary, or tertiary Cisco CallManager or when the WAN connection is down.
The Cisco CallManager 3.0 supports Cisco IP phones at remote sites attached to Cisco branch office multi-service routers across the WAN. Prior to Survivable Remote Site Telephony, when the WAN connection between the remote branch office router and the Cisco CallManager failed, or connectivity with the Cisco CallManager was lost for some other reason, the Cisco IP phones at the branch office became unusable for the duration of the failure. To overcome this problem the Survivable Remote Site Telephony feature was developed. The feature provides call-handling support on the branch-office router for its attached Cisco IP phones when a failure occurs. The system automatically detects the failure, and using Simple Network Auto Provisioning (SNAP) technology, auto configures the branch office router to provide call processing service for the local IP phones. When the failure is restored, call-handling capabilities for the Cisco IP phones switch back to the primary Cisco CallManager. During a failure, the Cisco IP phone displays a message to inform the user that the Cisco IP phone is in the Cisco CallManager fallback mode and is able to perform a limited set of functions.

Important Notes
The following sections contain important notes about Cisco IOS Release 12.2 XB that can apply to the Cisco 3600 series.
Addition of squeeze Command for Cisco 2600 and Cisco 3600 Series Routers
The squeeze command, which is used to erase all files marked for deletion on a Flash file system, is now available on Cisco 2600 and Cisco 3600 series routers.
CLI Command Added
The following command-line interface (CLI) command was added to Cisco IOS Release 12.2(2)T and is available in later versions:
ip qos dscp [0-63 | af11-af43 | cs1-cs7 | default | ef] [media | signaling]
This command replaces the ip precedence 0-7 VoIP dial-peer command. It implements RFC 2474, which specifies bits 0 to 5 of the IP ToS byte as the Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP), with acceptable values ranging from 0 to 63. Traffic is treated in a unique manner according to the value of the DSCP. The expected treatment of this marked traffic is defined as a per-hop behavior (PHB). RFC 2474 also defines a set of PHBs to forward traffic at least as well as expected with the IP precedence bits (bits 0 to 2) of the old ToS byte marked. The DSCP values for these precedence compatible behaviors are xxx000, with the values of xxx ranging from 1 to 7 and the code points called Class Selector Code Points (cs1-cs7 in the command above). The default value is 000000 for media and signaling.
Two other RFCs have also defined PHBs. RFC 2597 defines the Assured Forwarding PHB Group. With Assured Forwarding (af11-af43), bits 0 to 2 represent the class of traffic stream, and bits 3 to 5 represent the drop priority of a traffic stream. RFC 2598 defines the Expedited Forwarding PHB Group and is intended to be used with media streams. Because it is possible that more PHB groups will be defined or that end users will want to experiment with a DSCP of their own, you may configure a DSCP with a value of 0 to 63 (rather than being limited to only the currently-defined PHBs).
The recommended values are ip qos dscp ef media and ip qos dscp af31 signaling.
Changes to output attenuation Command
In Cisco IOS Release 12.2(2), the range of the output attenuation command for voice ports has changed from 0-14 to -6-14.

A test suite has been developed by the University of Oulu to target this protocol and identify vulnerabilities.
Support for the H.323 protocol was introduced in Cisco IOS Software Release 11.3T, and all later Cisco IOS releases are affected if configured for various types of Voice/Multimedia Application support. The vulnerabilities can be exploited repeatedly to produce a denial of service (DoS).
There are workarounds available that may mitigate the impact, but these techniques may not be appropriate for use in all customer networks.

Symptom: When router receive a V.110 call with User rate = 0, even it is async call and not in-band negotiable, ISDN still passes it to the application.
Conditions: V.110 call, User Rate = 0, Async call AND NOT in-band negotiable
Workaround: There is no workaround.
CSCdu47222
Modem status messages passed to EXEC process
Symptoms: When a user is logged in to a Cisco 3620 router using an external modem, the RING and CONNECT status messages are passed to the EXEC process. An unknown command error results when the status messages that are passed to the EXEC process are interpreted as commands.
Workaround: There is no workaround.
CSCdu73001
call-record username still empty for reverse telnet session
Symptoms: On an AS5300, the username field in the modem call-record (MCR) and Call Tracker call record is left blank for a reverse telnet session.
Workaround: Run AAA accounting in conjunction with Call Tracker or MCR. Correlate the accounting records, based upon line identifier and time of day, with the call records.
CSCdu80540
System crashes when user tries to delete file with ciscoFlashMiscOpT
Symptoms: When user tries to delete a file using ciscoFlashMiscOpTable with ciscoFlashMiscOpDestinationName set to a string greater than 33 characters, the system may crash. This bug has been fixed in Cisco IOS Release 12.1(8)ES and later releases.
Workaround: There is no workaround.
CSCdv29225
5300 returns channel state to IDLE after receiving GSM OOS from SC
Symptoms: On a Cisco AS5300 universal access server that is running Cisco IOS Release 12.2(2)XA1 in a Signaling System 7 (SS7) Interconnect for Voice Gateway solution, if a call is made ingress to the solution from a Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) and if a requested continuity test (COT) fails, the Cisco SC2200 signaling controller will send a group service message to the Cisco AS5300 and puts the associated channel on the access server into the maintenance state. However, the Cisco AS5300 puts the associated channel into the idle state a few seconds later. This behavior creates a mismatch in the channel state between the signaling controller and the Cisco AS5300.
Workaround: There is no workaround.
CSCdw18198
Parser cache entry may get deleted when in use
Symptom: Under rare circumstances a router will generate a traceback error or reload if both of the following conditions occur:
•A background process is processing a parser command (for example: pre-clone command or no pre-clone command for vtemplate), and
•Another command is issued at the console (most common is the show interface virt 1 command).
Workaround: There is no workaround.
CSCdw24379
RADIUS attribute Framed-Filter attribute parsing incorrect
Symptoms: Framed-Filter attributes with a value which contains multiple "." characters will not be parsed correctly.
Workaround: Do not use the "." character unless it is used to delimit the suffix with ".in" or ".out".
CSCdx11089
Change password sequence broken: 12.2T + CS Unix
Symptoms: It may not be possible to activate the change password sequence through a Telnet session to a router that is using TACACS+ user authentication.
Conditions: This symptom is observed on a Cisco router that is using a CiscoSecure UNIX (CSUNIX) TACACS+ server and that is running Cisco IOS Release 12.2 T.
Workaround: There is no workaround.
CSCdx28879
Spurious mem access due to preauth_do_author() for vpdn call initiat
Symptoms: When a virtual private dial-up network (VPDN) call is made with authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA) preauthorization, a traceback is observed because of a spurious memory access made by a preauth_do_author function call.
Conditions: This symptom is observed on a Cisco AS5300 when preauthorization is configured with only the aaa group server radius 7777 command.
Workaround: Configure the dnis required customer profile configuration command.
CSCdx32763
RADIUS decode error when Filter-Id attribute is null terminated
Symptom: A Cisco access server running Cisco IOS Release 12.2(4)T or later may reject a RADIUS authentication response from a RADIUS server when the profile includes the Filter-Id attribute which is terminated with a NULL.
Workaround: Stop the RADIUS server from including the NULL character at the end of the Filter-Id attribute or to downgrade to mainline Cisco IOS Release 12.2 software.
CSCdx54449
router crashed when 100 concurrent x25 sync telnet sessions issued
Symptoms: Router reloads when 100 concurrent x25 sync telnet sessions are issued.
Conditions: Only happens with large number of simultaneous x25 sync telnet sessions.
Workaround: There is no workaround.
CSCdx56527
Memory leak of 20M/Day until crash
Symptoms: A router may reload after a memory leak occurs.
Conditions: This symptom is observed on any Cisco router that is running Cisco IOS Release 12.2 (or Cisco IOS Release 12.2B or Cisco IOS Release 12.2T). The memory leak is triggered by authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA) when AAA attempts to enable TCP header compression twice within the same user session.
Workaround: Disable TCP header compression when a RADIUS or AAA database is used.
CSCdx72670
router reload in ip_build_outputQ on clear ip mroute
Symptoms: Between PIM process and timer wheel process, there is data corruption which causes crash.
Workaround: There is no workaround.
CSCdy07358
Alignment errors in ipfrag_init process
Symptoms: A Cisco 7200 router running Cisco IOS Release 12.1(15.5) configured as an LNS in a VPDN environment may suffer alignment errors in the ipfrag_init function. The problem does not have any adverse reaction on the router but could impact performance slightly.
Workaround: There is no workaround.
CSCdy63815
OLD-CISCO-TS-MIB tsLineUser empty with AAA radius and local user
Symptoms: An empty value is returned for the tsLineUser value in the OLD-CISCO-TS-MIB MIB.
Conditions: This symptom is observed on a Cisco router that is running Cisco IOS Release 12.2(2)XB6 with authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA) RADIUS and that has a local user configuration. The tsLineUser value of the OLD-CISCO-TS-MIB is populated when Cisco IOS 12.1(5)T8 is used.
Workaround: There is no workaround.
CSCdy72086
Torch RSC drops all digital calls after the 421st call is setup.
Symptoms: The 421st call cannot be made and existing calls thereafter drop.
Conditions: With a configuration to bring up 450 digital calls, existing digital calls start dropping after the 421st call.
Workaround: Need to configure 'dialer pool-member 1' on serial6/1:15
CSCdy73370
Invalid user info displayed in CallTracker
Symptom: Calltracker records are incorrectly reported for modem calls. The userid, ip address and mask are wrong.
Workaround: There is no workaround.
CSCdz00204
no aaa nas port extended has no effect
Symptoms: With the XB6 image the nas port format is the same (for example "Async1/01*Serial3/0:2") with and without the no aaa nas port extende command configured. With the 12.2(2)XA5 image this is not a case.
Workaround: There is no workaround.
CSCdz00304
Acct-Authentic attribute not correct in some scenarios
Symptoms: Radius accounting attribute 45 (Acct-Authentic) may have a wrong value under some circumstances.
Workaround: There is no workaround.
CSCdz01366
Multihop router Crashs with port flap: PPPoA/L2TP multihop
Symptom: A multihop router may reload because of a port flap.
Conditions: This symptom is observed when there are 940 PPP over ATM (PPPoA) sessions with 50 ingress and 10 egress tunnels configured on a Cisco router running Cisco IOS that is employed as a multihop router.
Workaround: There is no workaround.
CSCdz04349
User-name not included in accounting with nocallback-verify
Symptom: When nocallback-verify is configured for a ppp microsoft callback client, dialing into a Cisco Access Server, it is possible that the username attribute is not included in the aaa accounting records.
Workaround: There is no workaround.
CSCdz18330
Tacacs cmd authorization doesnt work with directed requests
Symptoms: Tacacs+ command authorization on a Cisco router running Cisco IOS Release 12.2(11)T1 fails when used by users that logged in using the Tacacs directed-requests feature (user@<address>). The router incorrectly uses the full username (including the @<address>) to authorize commands against the Tacacs server.
Workaround: There is no workaround.
CSCdz23256
SYS-2-LINKED: Bad dequeue messages periodically reported on AS5800
Symptoms: The following message has been periodically reported on all platforms running Cisco IOS Release 12.2(12.6):
Nov 6 09:22:17.364 CET: %SYS-2-LINKED: Bad dequeue of 62C3B194 in queue 69408DAC
-Process= "<interrupt level>", ipl= 4
-Traceback= 6055A354 604FFAFC 60398F10 60398E44 60B94720 60398C24 6039B380 6039A018 6000F8C4 6015EA80 601624CC 605BDD20 60162358 60B94484 60B92B68 60B295D8
Condition: Problem happens on all platforms running Cisco IOS Release 12.2(12.6), with active X.25 or LAPB serial connections, when LAPB retransmissions are occurring with moderate-to-heavy traffic.
Workaround: There is no workaround.
CSCdz34487
tacacs+ password change sequence broken
Symptoms: The password change sequence does not work as expected when it is used with Cisco Secure Access Control Server software. The user can still access the router with the old password. User can change the existing password to a new password at a later time.
Conditions: This symptom is observed on a Cisco router that is running Cisco IOS Release 12.2(11)T. This problem was not noticed in 12.2(13)T image with Cisco Secure Access Control Server running on an NT box.
Workaround: There is no workaround.
CSCdz38708
5800 with E1R2 may not accept modem calls
Symptoms: When terminating incoming E1 R2 calls on an AS5800 Access Server with MICA modems, a large percentage (up to 100%) of calls may fail. Debugging on the NAS shows that ANI/DNIS collection succeeds and the call is cleared by the switch shortly after sending the line answer ABCD bits. Debugging on the switch side will show that the interregister signalling answer signal (B6 by default) is never terminated before sending the line answer signal.
Conditions: This problem is seen on an AS5800 series Access server using MICA modems and configured for compelled E1 R2 signalling. The proble is not seen on AS5300 or AS5850 Access Servers or on AS5800 with Nextport card, and it does not occur with sem- or non-compelled E1 R2 signalling or any other signalling type. In addition, this problem only affects incoming calls.
Workaround: There is no workaround.
CSCdz39284
SIP: PROTOS Test Group 5 - Test Cases 330 to 435 causes as5350 crash
Symptoms: Multiple Cisco products contain vulnerabilities in the processing of Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) INVITE messages. These vulnerabilities were identified by the University of Oulu Secure Programming Group (OUSPG) "PROTOS" Test Suite for SIP and can be repeatedly exploited to produce a denial of service.
Conditions: This issue is observed on Cisco devices which contain support for the SIP protocol and are running vulnerable versions of software.
Workaround: Cisco will be making free software available to correct the problem as soon as possible. Additional workarounds will be documented in the Security Advisory. This advisory is available at:
http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/707/cisco-sa-20030221-protos.shtml
CSCdz40483
%SYS-2-WATCHDOG: Process aborted on watchdog timeout, process = IP I
Symptoms: A Cisco router permanently pauses with a watchdog timer under normal operation.
Conditions: This symptom is observed when the router is a voice endpoint with active calls.
Workaround: There is no workaround.
CSCdz44203
Dynamic Dialer map not created with aaa authentication if-needed
Symptoms: Users connecting to an AS5350, using a post dial terminal window for authentication, may not be able to ping the AS5350 after connecting. This problem only occurs with "aaa authentication ppp <list> if-needed" configured. The root of the problem is that a dynamic dial map is not created for the user. This can be seen with the show dialer map command. The other symptom of this problem is that there will be no output packets on the async interface to which the user is connected.
Workaround: Reconfigure the router to use virtual-profiles, or remove "if-needed" from the AAA authentication command.
CSCdz45885
AAA POD not disconnecting client requests with 8 byte session id
Symptoms: An authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA) packet of disconnect (POD) server may not disconnect a client request that has an 8-byte session ID.
Conditions: This symptom may occur on a Cisco AS5400 or a Cisco AS58500 that is functioning as a triple A POD server.
Workaround: There is no workaround.
CSCdz51403
NAS-port attribut 5 has been changed for format C
Symptoms: VTY interface is not supported with extended NAS-PORT format.
Workaround: There is no workaround.
CSCdz51941
Call drops once the Card is OIRed in case of NFAS.
Symptoms: On a Cisco AS5800 when a trunk which has been configured for Primary NFAS is inserted back after OIR, the calls on the other cards, which are configured for NFAS of the same group, could fail, especially in the case of a TD/TV solution.
Workaround: There is no workaround.
CSCdz54240
poor performance on MLP with h/w compression (single channel ISDN)
Symptoms: The transportation of files across a single BRI connection of an E1 line may result in poor performance.
Conditions: This symptom is observed on a Cisco 3600 series router that is running Cisco IOS Release 12.2(02)XB7.
Workaround: There is no workaround.
CSCdz56776
Outgoing PPP frames are stuck on MLPPP
Symptoms: If Multilink PPP call(MLPPP) is disconnected by cause except Normal call clearing, no frames are send out on subsequent calls and the output queue may be stuck.
Condition: The symptoms occur under the following conditions:
•You are running Cisco IOS Release 12.2 and Cisco IOS Release 12.2T
•MLPPP is enabled on ISDN interface (BRI and PRI).
•Dialer profile and multiple dialer interfaces belonging to the same dialer pool number are configured.
Workaround: Use the no fair-queue command on physical interfaces.
CSCdz61141
MPPE fails with radius
Symptoms: Microsoft Point-to-Point Encryption (MPPE) does not work when RADIUS is used for authentication and authorization. The user is able to authenticate and MPPE is negotiated, but traffic will not pass through unless MPPE is disabled or local authentication is used.
Conditions: This symptom occurs when MPPE is used with RADIUS to perform authentication and authorization.
Workaround: There is no workaround.
CSCdz70933
Filter-Id from preauthentication not applied with auth-required=0
Symptoms: When the Filter-Id attribute is provided during preauthentication, it is accepted, but not applied to the virtual access interface. When the same attribute is provided during PPP authentication, it is applied OK.
Workaround: There is no workaround.
CSCdz71219
Input-queue wedge intermittently
Symptoms: Intermittent problem on Virtual-Access interfaces. The input-queue becomes wedge, for example:
input queue 11/10
Increasing the input-queue size does not help.
Workaround: There is no workaround.
CSCdz72678
mgcp-nas-pkg calls generate zero values for RADIUS acct attributes
Symptoms: Media Gateway Control Protocol (MGCP) network access server (NAS) package calls may cause the following RADIUS accounting attributes to contain zero values:
•Acct-Input-Octets
•Acct-Output-Octets
•Acct-Input-Packets
•Acct-Output-Packets
•Data-Rate
•Ascend-Xmit-Rate
•Presession-Packets-Input
•Presession-Packets-Output
•Presession-Octets-In
•Presession-Octets-Out
Conditions: This symptom is observed on a Cisco AS5400 that is running Cisco IOS Release 12.2(2)XB8 or Cisco IOS Release 12.2 T.
Workaround: There is no workaround.
CSCdz85925
PPP Async interfaces not updated in routing table
Symptoms: Non-Multilink PPP (non-MLP) asynchronous users may not get a connected route in the IP routing table.
Conditions: This symptom is observed with non-MLP asynchronous users that are on an asynchronous interface that was previously used for MLP.
Workaround: Configure the router to use virtual profiles by entering the following sequence of commands:
Router(config)# interface virtual-template 1
Router(config)# virtual-profile virtual-template 1
Router(config)# no virtual-profile if-needed
CSCdz88409
Router crashed during weak Radius service
Symptoms: Cisco C5800 Router running Cisco IOS Release 12.2(2)XB10 crashed during a period of weak Radius service that provocated high session flapping.
Workaround: There is no workaround.
CSCdz89543
Missing accounting stop record with LSDO and Multilink PPP
Symptoms: In a Large-Scale Dial-Out (LSDO) setup in which the called site (remote site) is configured to add additional member links to the Multilink PPP (MLP) connection, the initial call to the remote site via LSDO may not trigger an accounting stop record when the call terminates.
Conditions: This symptom is observed when the customer premises equipment (CPE) adds additional links to the multilink bundle that is built by the initial LSDO call. If there is only one LSDO call or if all member links are initiated by the remote site (LSDO is not used), stop accounting records are correctly generated for all member links.
Workaround: There is no workaround.
CSCdz89669
AAA Accounting not sent for multilink isdn calls, when MSCB confd
Symptoms: When an ISDN dial-in client negotiates callback and multilink, and the callback is not configured for that user, the authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA) records may not be sent.
Conditions: This symptom is observed on a Cisco router that is running Cisco IOS Release 12.2 T.
Workaround: There is no workaround.
CSCea02355
rare ip packets may cause input queue wedge
Cisco routers and switches running Cisco IOS software and configured to process Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) packets are vulnerable to a Denial of Service (DoS) attack. A rare sequence of crafted IPv4 packets sent directly to the device may cause the input interface to stop processing traffic once the input queue is full. No authentication is required to process the inbound packet. Processing of IPv4 packets is enabled by default. Devices running only IP version 6 (IPv6) are not affected. A workaround is available.
Cisco has made software available, free of charge, to correct the problem.
This advisory is available at
http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/707/cisco-sa-20030717-blocked.shtml
CSCea12966
function aaa_attr_list_ptr_copy_to_req does not support merged lists
Symptoms: Function aaa_attr_list_ptr_copy_to_req incorrectly strips off any additional attribute lists connected to the list passed in. This causes attributes lists to be lost, resulting in missing attributes being sent to AAA Servers.
Workaround: There is no workaround.
CSCea19087
CALLTRKR-6-CALL_RECORD not displayed for a modem-pool call with CAS
Symptoms: A Cisco AS5300 may not display some Calltracker information for a modem call.
Conditions: This symptom is observed on a Cisco AS5300 that is running Cisco IOS Release 12.2(2)XB10 or Cisco IOS Release 12.2(13)T and is configured for channel-associated signaling (CAS) with modem pooling. This is observed, in particular, when the call is routed to a configured modem pool instead of to the default modem pool. The Calltracker messages look like the following messages:
CALLTRKR-6-CALL_RECORD
and
CALLRECORD-3-MICA_TERSE_CALL_REC
However, when the symptom occurs, the first message is omitted.
Workaround: Configure the Cisco AS5300 for ISDN (PRI) instead for CAS.
First Alternate Workaround: Do not configure modem pooling.
Second Alternate Workaround: Ensure that the call is routed to the default modem pool.
CSCea23484
VPDN rejecting 127.0.0.x address as source-ip
Symptoms: IP addresses of the "127.0.0.x" type may be rejected by a virtual private dial-up network (VPDN) to be used as the source IP address for VPDN tunnels.
Conditions: This symptom is observed on a Cisco AS5400 or Cisco AS5800.
Workaround: There is no workaround.
CSCea24574
VSA not processed if sent with tagged tunnel attributes
Symptoms: AAA may not process VSA if sent with tagged L2TP tunnel attributes.
Conditions: This symptom is observed on a Cisco AS5400/AS5800.
Workaround: There is no workaround.
CSCea28396
AS5300 reloads while sending aaa accounting request
Symptoms: A router may reload when sending an authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA) request to a TACACS+ server.
Conditions: This symptom is observed on a Cisco AS5300 universal access server that is running Cisco IOS Release 12.2XB(10) and Cisco IOS Release 12.2 T.
Workaround: There is no workaround.
CSCea28958
Function to manipulate attribute lists does not merge correctly
Symptoms: While copying an AAA attribute list into an event, the copy function strips off any additional attribute lists connected to the list passed in. This causes attributes lists to be lost, resulting in missing attributes being sent to AAA Servers.
Workaround: There is no workaround.
CSCea41989
AS5400/AS5350 - ANI/DNIS Delimiter (sig-class) CAS for CT1 is broken
Symptoms: A user-configured signaling class template may not be not used during incoming and outgoing channel-associated signaling (CAS) calls. Instead, the default signaling template is used.
Conditions: This symptom is observed in Cisco IOS Release 12.2 and Cisco IOS Release 12.2 T on a Cisco AS5350 and a Cisco AS5400.
Workaround: There is no workaround.
CSCea45343
Not able to manually shutdown modem/spe in BAD state
Symptom: When a modem in bad state is shutdown, the show modem command reports the state as BAD and not as SHUT.
Further Problem Description: The states of busy out and shut were clubbed together as 'b'. The two were segregated as part of DDTS CSCdr31105. If a modem in bad state is shut down, the show modem command shows the state as 'B' and not as 'S'. But if a modem is shut down, it really doesn't matter what state the modem is in. So the state should be shown as 'S'.
Workaround: There is no workaround.
CSCea52804
bus error at auth_tx_failure
Symptoms: A Cisco AS5350/AS5400 running Cisco IOS Release 12.2(2)XB7 crashes with bus error at auth_tx_failure.
Workaround: There is no workaround.
CSCea53600
authorization failure for terminal login call with per-user DNS/WINS
Symptoms: Issue with terminal server login where a radius assigned DNS or WINS server (ie. per-user dns/wins) causes authorization to fail.
Workaround: There is no workaround.
CSCea61814
bearer capability changed for outgoing hairpinned call
Symptoms: The bearer capability is changed for outgoing hairpinned call.
Workaround: There is no workaround.
CSCea66630
COT_TP_IN test fail resulting channels in maintenence pending
Symptoms: The first COT_TP_IN test failed right after reload and the AS5300 never received COT_TP_OUT from softswitch, putting the channel in maintenance pending state. The timer in COT_TP_IN test should bring the channel to idle even if it does not receive the COT_TP_OUT from softswitch.
Workaround: There is no workaround.
CSCin03921
The 872uut crashes inconsistently during cbwfq tests
Symptom: Adding or removing a service policy to a dialer interface may infrequently cause a spontaneous reload of the router.
Workaround: There is no workaround. However relying on experience with similar issues (involving reconfiguring a dialer on the fly), the suggestion is that either or both of the following steps might help:
•Stop generating traffic through the interface
•Shutdown the dialer interface when changing the service policy

Technical Assistance Center
The Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC) is available to all customers who need technical assistance with a Cisco product, technology, or solution. Two levels of support are available: the Cisco TAC Web Site and the Cisco TAC Escalation Center.
Cisco TAC inquiries are categorized according to the urgency of the issue:
•Priority level 4 (P4)—You need information or assistance concerning Cisco product capabilities, product installation, or basic product configuration.
•Priority level 3 (P3)—Your network performance is degraded. Network functionality is noticeably impaired, but most business operations continue.
•Priority level 2 (P2)—Your production network is severely degraded, affecting significant aspects of business operations. No workaround is available.
•Priority level 1 (P1)—Your production network is down, and a critical impact to business operations will occur if service is not restored quickly. No workaround is available.
The Cisco TAC resource that you choose is based on the priority of the problem and the conditions of service contracts, when applicable.
Cisco TAC Web Site
You can use the Cisco TAC Web Site to resolve P3 and P4 issues yourself, saving both cost and time. The site provides around-the-clock access to online tools, knowledge bases, and software. To access the Cisco TAC Web Site, go to this URL:
All customers, partners, and resellers who have a valid Cisco service contract have complete access to the technical support resources on the Cisco TAC Web Site. The Cisco TAC Web Site requires a Cisco.com login ID and password. If you have a valid service contract but do not have a login ID or password, go to this URL to register:

If you are a Cisco.com registered user, and you cannot resolve your technical issues by using the Cisco TAC Web Site, you can open a case online by using the TAC Case Open tool at this URL:
http://www.cisco.com/tac/caseopen
If you have Internet access, we recommend that you open P3 and P4 cases through the Cisco TAC Web Site.
Cisco TAC Escalation Center
The Cisco TAC Escalation Center addresses priority level 1 or priority level 2 issues. These classifications are assigned when severe network degradation significantly impacts business operations. When you contact the TAC Escalation Center with a P1 or P2 problem, a Cisco TAC engineer automatically opens a case.
To obtain a directory of toll-free Cisco TAC telephone numbers for your country, go to this URL:
