Release Notes for Cisco IOS Release 11.2(10)P Software Feature Packs--Cisco AS5200 Access Servers

January 26, 1998

These release notes discuss the Cisco IOS Release 11.2(10)P feature packs for Cisco AS5200 access servers. These are the product numbers for the supported feature packs:


Note The feature packs discussed here contain Cisco IOS Release 11.2(10)P software images and Router Software Loader (RSL) Version 6.0.

Note Before running RSL, read the section "Installation Tips".

These release notes contain the following sections:

What is a Feature Pack?

The heart of a Cisco IOS software feature pack is a CD-ROM that contains a software image and Router Software Loader (RSL), a Windows 95 application that loads the image onto the access server/router. Each Cisco IOS Release 11.2 feature pack CD contains one feature set. For users without Windows 95, images can also be loaded with a Trivial File Transfer Protocol server application, as explained in these release notes.

Each Cisco IOS Release 11.2 software feature pack box contains the following:

Cisco Feature Pack Description

This section describes the Cisco feature packs, listing the software feature sets comprising each feature pack. You can use this information to identify your feature pack set in conjunction with the corresponding information provided in Table 3 in the section "Cisco IOS Release 11.2 Feature Sets". Table 3 identifies which features are supported for a feature set on a specific platform.


Note RSL Version 6.0, contained in every Cisco IOS Release 11.2 software feature pack, supports Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, and Token Ring interfaces.

Software Feature Packs

This section includes two tables: Table 1, describes each feature pack image, including a brief description of each feature set, the UNIX and DOS filenames of the images, and the memory required to run each feature set on the Cisco AS5200 access server. Table 2 lists the memory delivered by default and the memory upgrades available.

You can use Table 1 to identify the memory required for your configuration based on the image you run. You can then check this against Table 2 to determine how much memory is available on the access server as the factory default and the upgrades that you can obtain to satisfy your requirements.

Modem Firmware

Cisco IOS software controls the version of modem firmware used by modems on the 56K 12-port modules. You can accept this firmware version or you can download another version. Unless you are familiar with Cisco AS5200 modem firmware, we recommend that you accept the default and not attempt to download another version.

Because you have the option of overriding the firmware version selected by Cisco IOS software, the following information provides some factors to consider before you manually download firmware:

Installation Tips

This section describes several solutions to problems you might encounter when using RSL. These solutions are additions to the RSL online help.

Recovering from a Connection Error

This installation tip provides a possible recovery solution in the event that 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:


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, 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 access server and the PC.

Step 2 Restart RSL and connect 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 connected, select Download Router Configuration in the Router Software Loader dialog box.

Step 6 Select the appropriate file, and click Copy configuration to the router's nonvolatile memory.

The access server should now contain the startup configuration it had before the initial RSL connection. You can now exit RSL.


Note In the previous situation, the access server's configuration register (config-register 0xnnnn) is not restored.

Note If you enter Ctrl-Alt-Delete to terminate RSL, the access server's configuration and configuration register are not restored. However, in this case the configuration file is not deleted from the PC, so it can be restored using the previous steps.

Helpful Hints

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

Installing the Software Image Using a TFTP Server Application

The Router Software Loader application contained on the feature pack CD-ROM is designed to work with a PC running Microsoft Windows 95. The booklet included with the CD-ROM explains how to perform this simple and recommended install process. However, an alternative is available using a TFTP server application to install router software, .

This section explains how to use a TFTP server application 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 software to the access server.

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. You can use the RSL or the TFTP server included on the feature pack CD-ROM to install the 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 as shareware from public sources on the World Wide Web.

Installation Process

This section describes how to use TFTP on a PC to install the access server software.


Note To use an rcp application, follow this same procedure, but substitute rcp for TFTP in the instructions; for example, use the copy rcp flash command instead of the copy tftp flash command.

Step 1 Install any TFTP server application on the PC. (The PC application included on the feature pack CD-ROM is 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 check box beside the word Server. To configure the local PC as a server, click this check box.


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.


 
Caution Make sure you set up your local PC as a TFTP server. If you overlook this step, you cannot perform the copy procedure. This reminder also applies if you are using rcp instead of TFTP.

Step 4 Establish a console session from your local PC (which is now configured as a TFTP server) to the access server by using one of these methods:

This is the recommended method.When you reload the access server with the new image in Step 13, you remain connected to the access server. (If you use Telnet, you lose connection to the access server.)

Step 5 Connect your PC Ethernet port to the access server Ethernet port. Use an Ethernet crossover cable.

For systems without a LAN interface, make sure that the access server and the PC have IP connectivity through the available interface (that is, the access server and PC can ping each other with IP traffic).


Step 6 Enter the following commands to enter privileged mode, change the config-reg to 0x2101, and reload:

The access server will reload in ROM monitor mode, which is necessary for copying images into Flash memory.


Step 7 At the ROM monitor prompt, enter the following command to copy the new software image from the PC (set up as a TFTP server) to the access server:

(boot)# copy tftp flash


In the next series of steps, you download the Cisco IOS Release 11.2 images that you want installed on your access server.


Step 8 When prompted, enter the IP address of your PC, as in the following example:

Address or name of remote host [255.255.255.255]? 172.16.1.1


This is the IP address of your local PC, not that of the access server.


Step 9 When prompted, enter the filename of the Cisco IOS Release 11.2 image to be copied to the access server, as in the following example:

Source file name? 80138010.bin


This example specifies the DOS image name of the IP feature set for a Cisco AS5200 access server, as listed in Table 1.


Step 10 In response to the prompt, enter the destination UNIX image filename, and press Enter.

This is the name of the image file on the access server, not the full path name of the image on the CD-ROM attached to the PC. Refer to Table 1 in the section, "Cisco Feature Pack Description" for the UNIX image filename.


During the transfer process, the software displays messages indicating that it has accessed the file you have specified and is loading it.


Step 11 Enter yes in response to the prompt asking if you want to erase the existing image copy resident in the access server Flash memory before copying the new one:

Erase flash device before writing? [confirm] yes


The entire copying process takes several minutes and differs from network to network.


The exclamation point (!) indicates that the copy process is taking place. Each exclamation point (!) indicates that ten packets have been transferred successfully. A checksum verification of the image occurs after the image is written to Flash memory.


Step 12 Enter the following commands to change the config-reg back to 0x2102. This will force the access server to reload to the image running from Flash memory.

Step 13 Enter the reload command to reload the access server:

After reload is complete, the access server should be running the required Cisco IOS image. Use the show version command to verify.
