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 4500/4700 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, "Cisco IOS Software Feature Sets for the Cisco 4500 and Cisco 4700 Routers," to identify which features are supported in a feature set image.

    4. Use Table 4, "Cisco 4500 and Cisco 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

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 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:

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. These feature sets only apply to Cisco  IOS Release  11.3 T:

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 11.3 T. Table 3 uses these terms:

Software Compatibility

The feature packs described in these release notes contain Cisco IOS Release 11.3(5)T software images, some earlier images, and the Router Software Loader (RSL) Version 7.1. 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 4500 or Cisco 4700 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) 4500 Software (C4500-JS-M), Version 11.3(5)T, RELEASE SOFTWARE



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


 Installation

 
 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


 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 router:


"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:



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




 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:



 Loading Cisco IOS Release 11.3 Software on CiscoPro Routers


 The RSL has an upgrade utility to permanently modify a CiscoPro router so that it accepts Cisco  IOS Release 11.3 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. 



Note After this upgrade, CiscoVision will not be able to recognize your router. If you choose the permanent upgrade, CiscoWorks for Windows is a recommended replacement for network management purposes. To upgrade your CiscoVision software to CiscoWorks Windows 2.1, order one of the following: CPW-CVCW-U to upgrade CiscoVision to CiscoWorks Windows (managing up to 50  nodes), or CPW-CVCW-ENT-U to upgrade CiscoVision to CiscoWorks Windows (managing up to 500 nodes). For general information about Cisco Systems, Cisco products, or upgrades, contact 800  553-6387, 408  526-7208, or cs-rep@cisco.com.



 If you select a Cisco IOS Release 11.3 image from the image list and are connected to a CiscoPro  CPA 4000 series router, a message box tells you that the router requires a permanent upgrade to load this image. You can either select yes to have the RSL upgrade the router and continue loading the selected image, or select no to cancel the load operation. 


 If you select yes, the RSL utility downloads, performs the upgrade, reboots the router, and issues a message to confirm the upgrade. Confirm this message. The RSL then downloads the selected image.


 The upgrade utility must be located in the Images directory. If it is not, the upgrade utility informs you that the image is not present. 


 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, an alternative is available for installing router software: using a TFTP server application.


 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. To configure the local PC as a server, select this checkbox. 


 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.





 Step 25, you remain connected to the router. (If you use Telnet, you lose connection to the router.)
