New and Changed Information
The following sections list the features supported by the Cisco 3200 Series Mobile Access Router for Cisco IOS Release 12.3(2)JK1. Cisco IOS Release 12.3(2)JK1 supports the same features as Cisco IOS Release 12.3(2)JK.
New Hardware Features in Release 12.3(2)JK1
There are no new hardware features in Cisco IOS Release 12.3(2)JK1.
New Hardware Features in Release 12.3(2)JK
The 4.9-GHz (US Only, Public Safety) Wireless Mobile Interface Card (WMIC) is a mobile interface card (MIC) in a standard PC/104-Plus form factor. It is one component of the Cisco 3200 Series Mobile Access Router and provides a 4.9-GHz (US Only, Public Safety) wireless interface.
The 4.9-GHz (US Only, Public Safety) Wireless Mobile Interface Card (WMIC) can be configured as an
•
•
•
•
The Wireless Mobile Interface Card (WMIC) connects to the router internally through a 10/100 Fast Ethernet interface on the Fast Ethernet Switch Mobile Interface Card (FESMIC).
The key features of the Wireless Mobile Interface Card (WMIC) include the following:
•
•
The FCC has recently allocated a 50MHz licensed bandwidth in the 4.9GHz frequency band for public safety applications in the United States of America. The 4.9GHz WMIC is a new addition to the Cisco 3200 Series router product line, the foundation for Cisco Metro Mobile Networks (MMN) architecture. The Cisco MMN offers the benefits of a combined Layer 2 and Layer 3 (routing) functionality, with multiple integrated radios (up to five), that supports Mesh topology and eliminates unnecessary WAN backhauls.
As an end-to-end solution, Cisco MMN creates a broadband wireless access infrastructure for public safety personnel and vehicles with Cisco 3200 Series routers that leverage MoIP for seamless roaming across different types of wireless networks.
The 4.9-GHz (US Only, Public Safety) WMIC integrates into the Cisco 3200 Series router, together with other mobile interface cards (MICs) including the 802.11b/g 2.4GHz WMIC. The 4.9-GHz (US Only, Public Safety) WMIC, as well as the entire Cisco 3200 Series router product line, are fully ruggedized and suitable for both outdoor and vehicular deployments.
To reduce the cross channel interference and in compliance with FCC Docket #00-32 on 4.9GHz ruling, the WMIC supports Direct Short Range Communications (DSRC) Mask C for all power output levels. As a component of the MMN, the 4.9-GHz (US Only, Public Safety) WMIC is independently configurable (through CLI or management) to operate as either a Root Bridge (RB), a Non Root Bridge (NRB), a Work Group Bridge (WGB), or an Access Point. For additional flexibility in the deployment of the 4.9GHz based MMN, the router supports 5MHz and 10MHz channels.
New Software Features in Release 12.3(2)JK1

Note
Resolved Caveats - Release 12.3(2)JK1
•
Cisco IOS may permit arbitrary code execution after exploitation of a heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability. Cisco has included additional integrity checks in its software, as further described below, that are intended to reduce the likelihood of arbitrary code execution.
Cisco has made free software available that includes the additional integrity checks for affected customers.
This advisory is posted at http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/707/cisco-sa-20051102-timers.shtml.
•
Update channelization scheme as per TIA TR-8 spec.
•
IP packets with invalid checksum are not discarded.
•
Not able to telnet to card (No Free TTYs error).
•
The Cisco IOS Firewall Authentication Proxy for FTP and/or Telnet Sessions feature in specific versions of Cisco IOS software is vulnerable to a remotely-exploitable buffer overflow condition.
Devices that do not support, or are not configured for Firewall Authentication Proxy for FTP and/or Telnet Services are not affected.
Devices configured with only Authentication Proxy for HTTP and/or HTTPS are not affected.
Only devices running certain versions of Cisco IOS are affected.
Cisco has made free software available to address this vulnerability. There are workarounds available to mitigate the effects of the vulnerability.
This advisory will be posted at http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/707/cisco-sa-20050907-auth_proxy.shtml
Resolved Caveats - Release 12.3(2)JK
•
Cisco Internetwork Operating System (IOS) Software release trains 12.2T, 12.3 and 12.3T may contain vulnerabilities in processing certain Internet Key Exchange (IKE) Xauth messages when configured to be an Easy VPN Server.
Successful exploitation of these vulnerabilities may permit an unauthorized user to complete authentication and potentially access network resources.
This advisory will be posted to http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/707/cisco-sa-20050406-xauth.shtml
•
Cisco Internetwork Operating System (IOS) software is vulnerable to a Denial of Service (DoS) and potentially an arbitrary code execution attack from a specifically crafted IPv6 packet. The packet must be sent from a local network segment. Only devices that have been explicitly configured to process IPv6 traffic are affected. Upon successful exploitation, the device may reload or be open to further exploitation.
Cisco has made free software available to address this vulnerability for all affected customers.
More details can be found in the security advisory that is posted at http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/707/cisco-sa-20050729-ipv6.shtml.
•
Remote Authentication Dial In User Service (RADIUS) authentication on a device that is running certain versions of Cisco Internetworking Operating System (IOS) and configured with a fallback method to none can be bypassed.
Systems that are configured for other authentication methods or that are not configured with a fallback method to none are not affected.
Only the systems that are running certain versions of Cisco IOS are affected.
Not all configurations using RADIUS and none are vulnerable to this issue. Some configurations using RADIUS, none and an additional method are not affected.
Cisco has made free software available to address this vulnerability. There are workarounds available to mitigate the effects of the vulnerability.
Refer to the Security Advisory at the following URL for more details
http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/707/cisco-sa-20050629-aaa.shtml
•
Description: WGB may crash after roaming (due to a weak signal) between two roots for a half hour or longer. After roaming (with mobile station and open authentication), the WGB may also lose association and the dot11 interface will go down and stay down.
Workaround: Kick start the uplink state machine to scan whenever the WGB link is down after it has associated more than one time. To bring back up a down dot11 interface, toggle the dot11 interface.
Open Caveats - Release 12.3(2)JK
•
UUT can not pass traffic with packet size 256 B with IPSec.
•
Traceback is displayed after bootup.
•
Description: With Mobile Station enabled, the WGB sometimes roams from Root (with good signal strength) to another Root2 (with weaker signal strength).
Workaround: There is no workaround.
•
Description: After the WMIC configured as root device boots up, changing it to non-root bridge or workgroup bridge may cause it to crash.
Workaround: To avoid the reload, shutdown interface do before changing the station role from Root Bridge to Workgroup Bridge or Non-Root Bridge. Then perform "no shutdown" on interface do to bring the link back up.
•
Description: When all radios are configured with CCKM and AES, after clearing the interface Dot11Radio 0 on the AP, the WGB will continue to show association to the AP. The AP will not show that the WGB is associated. Ping traffic cannot pass at this state.
Workaround: This issue will not happen on the WDS master or when the WDS client is configured as a root bridge.
•
Description: After the WDS master has been up for several days, it may fail to send any traffic to the ACS.
Workaround: Reload the WDS master with the same running configuration.
•
Description: The config interface dot110 to bridge-group 2 command causes the error message "STP was not added to Dot11Radio0" and a traceback message.
Workaround: None. This feature is not supported in this Cisco IOS release.
•
Description: The WMIC FE LED does not blink continuously when pinging. When the WMIC initiate a ping to the MARC, the WMIC FE LED blinks once every 3 seconds. When the MARC initiate a ping to the WMIC, the WMIC FE LED blinks once every 7 seconds.
Workaround: There is no workaround.
•
Description: The RF LED appears solid green when there is continuous traffic on the RF link.
Workaround: There is no workaround.
•
Description: Two WMICs will not ping each other when the following situation occurs:
–
–
–
–
Workaround: Save the configuration and reload, booting up the first WMIC as "root."
•
Description: After station role change, a WMIC configured with "root ap-only" and "infrastructure client" will not ping a WGB but can ping clients behind the WGB. The problem occurs when the following situation occurs:
–
–
Workaround: Save the WMIC configuration and reload (boot up as "root ap-only").
