3 . Use Table 3, "Cisco 4000 Series Software Feature Sets," to identify which features are supported in a feature set image.

4 . Use Table 4, "Cisco 4500 and 4700 Default Memory and Upgrade Options," to check the memory required for your feature set, and determine the factory-default memory on the router and the available memory upgrades.

What Is a Feature Pack?

This section describes:

• Feature Pack Components

• Product Numbers Quick-Reference List

• Feature Pack Overview Table

• Feature Set Table

Feature Pack Components

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

• CD-ROM with the following software:

  • Cisco  IOS feature set software images that can include bundled modem firmware

  • Router Software Loader (RSL) program (a Windows 95 application)

  • Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) server application (for Windows 95 only)

• Getting Started with the Router Software Loader CD booklet.

• Release notes that include alternatives to using the RSL for loading software images onto a router

• Software license for using Cisco software in-object code form on a single access server or router

• Cisco Documentation CD-ROM that contains all Cisco documentation

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 server or router. 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, you can follow the instructions in the "Alternatives to the RSL" section.

Before running the RSL, read the "Installing Software Images Using the 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 Table

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:

• Plus-Value-added feature set with additional features.

• Plus 40-Value-added feature set with additional features, including 40-bit data encryption.

• Plus 56-Value-added feature set with additional features, including 56-bit data encryption.

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 4500 and Cisco 4700 series routers and access servers. These feature sets only apply to Cisco  IOS Release  11.2 P:

• IP

• IP Plus

• IP Plus 40

• IP Plus 56

• IP/IPX/AT/DEC

• IP/IPX/AT/DEC Plus 40

• IP/IPX/AT/DEC Plus 56

• Enterprise

• Enterprise Plus

• Enterprise Plus 40

• Enterprise Plus 56

To determine what features are available with each feature set (software image), see Table 3. The table summarizes the features you can use when running a specific feature set on the Cisco 4500 and Cisco 4700 routers for Cisco IOS Release 11.2 P. Table 3 uses these terms:

Hardware Supported

The Router Software Loader (RSL) version 7.0 supports many Cisco routers. Specific to the Cisco 4000 series routers, RSL 7.0 supports:

• CiscoPro CPA4500 and CPA4700

• Cisco 4500 and 4700

Software Compatibility

The feature packs described in these release notes contain Cisco IOS Release 11.2(14)P software images, some earlier images, and the Router Software Loader (RSL) Version 7.0. Before running the RSL, read the "Installing Software Images Using the RSL" section.

Determining Your Software Release

To view the version of Cisco IOS software that is running on your Cisco 4000 series router, log in to the router, and enter the show version user EXEC command:

router> show version

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

Cisco Internetwork Operating System Software 
IOS (tm) 4000 Software (C4000-BNR2SY-L), Version 11.2(14)P, 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 describes special cases that might require you to load Cisco  IOS software on a CiscoPro router or to use an alternative to the RSL.

Installing Software Images Using the 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 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, try increasing the Short Timeout value, which is set to 25 seconds, in the Options dialog box, especially if one of the following situations applies:

• You are connecting to an access server that has a large configuration file.

• You are connecting to a Cisco AS5200 access server. A Cisco AS5200 requires up to 45 seconds to write a configuration to nonvolatile random-access memory (NVRAM), due to the amount of interfaces that must be checked during this process. Increase the Short Timeout value to 60 seconds.

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.

Helpful Hints

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

• If you have added any static entries to the PC Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) table, one or more of them might be deleted by the RSL. You need to manually re-enter any deleted entries in the PC ARP table.

• If the router's running configuration at connection time is not the same as its startup configuration, the exact configuration is not restored. Any changes that you have made since the last time a copy running-config startup-config or write memory command was entered are lost.

• The RSL restores the router's startup configuration, but some running configuration commands are not restored. To restore the exact running configuration, reboot the router. The following interface configuration commands are not restored to the running configuration: no shutdown, no ringspeed, and media-type aui.

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.

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:

• Using the console or auxiliary port

• Using a TFTP server application

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.

The following example shows how to use the copy xmodem flash command on a Cisco 4000 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 auxilary

       port for this download is strongly recommended.

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.
