What Is a Feature Pack?

The heart of a Cisco IOS software feature pack is a CD-ROM that contains software images and RSL, a Windows 95 application, which loads the images onto the router. Each Cisco IOS Release 11.2 feature pack CD contains feature sets and one modem firmware image. For users without Windows 95, images can also be loaded with a Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) server application.

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

• CD-ROM with the following software:

  • Feature set software images

  • Modem software image

  • RSL program (a Windows 95 application)

• Instruction booklet for using RSL

• Release notes (this document), which include instructions for using a TFTP server application on a system not running Windows 95

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

• Cisco Documentation CD-ROM, which contains all Cisco IOS software documentation

Cisco Feature Pack Descriptions

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 the table in the section "Cisco IOS Release 11.2 Feature Sets,". The table in that section identifies which features are supported for a feature set on a specific platform.

Software Feature Packs

This section includes two tables: Table 1, on the following page, identifies each feature pack as specified on the label of the CD containing the router software. It also lists the feature sets comprising the feature pack, giving the UNIX and DOS filenames of the images. The table provides a brief description of each feature set and the router platform on which the feature set runs. Table 1 also identifies the memory required to run each feature set on the Cisco AS5200 access server; Table 2 describes 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 router as the factory default and the upgrades that you can obtain to satisfy your requirements.

Installation Tips

This section describes several solutions to problems you might encounter when using RSL. These solutions are additions to RSL's 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 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:

• You are connecting to a router that has a large configuration file.

• You are connecting to a Cisco AS5200. 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, 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 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 the radio button beside Copy configuration to the router's nonvolatile memory.

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

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's Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) table, one of them may be deleted by RSL. This entry will need to be manually re-entered into the PC's ARP table.

• If your router is configured with a boot system flash filename command, where filename is the name of the previous image residing in the first partition of Flash memory, this command must be manually changed to reflect the name of the image that was copied to the router's first Flash memory partition.

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

• If you connect to a router with multiple Flash memory partitions, it will always copy the new image to the first partition and reload to the first partition. This will fail if there is not enough memory in the first partition.

• RSL will restore the router's running configuration, but some configuration commands will not be restored. However, the startup configuration will be correct. You can restore the exact running configuration by rebooting the router. Commands not restored to the running configuration include the following interface configuration commands: no shutdown, no ringspeed, and media-type aui.

Cisco IOS Release 11.2 Feature Sets

Table 3 shows specific features supported for Cisco IOS Release 11.2 on Cisco AS5200 access servers.

The table uses these conventions to identify features:

• Yes: the feature is offered in the basic feature set

• - : the feature is not offered in the feature set

• Plus: the feature is offered only in the Plus feature sets, not in the basic feature set

Back Rev Feature Sets

For a list of features supported by the back rev feature sets, see the release notes available on the Documentation CD-ROM or the World Wide Web (www.cisco.com). See the section "About Cisco IOS Software Electronic Documentation,". For example, to find a feature set list for Cisco IOS Release 11.1(8), locate the Cisco IOS Software Configuration database. Then select Cisco IOS Release 11.1, and then select Release Notes for Cisco IOS Release 11.1.

Installing the Modem Firmware Using RSL

You can use the Windows 95 application, RSL, to install modem images. Use the instructions in the CD booklet, Getting Started with the Router Software Loader, to connect cables and begin the RSL application. In the dialog box, select the Operations menu, and then Load Modem Image. The Load Modem Image dialog box opens. Follow the instructions in the dialog box.

To quickly locate the path to your new Microcom firmware image, click the Browse button. After entering the target filename, click OK.

For instructions on installing modem firmware without using Windows 95, see "Installation Process for Modem Software."

Installing the Router Software Without Using Windows 95

This section describes an alternative method you can use to install the router software from the CD-ROM using a PC running Windows 3.1, a Macintosh, or a UNIX system. The process requires that you first obtain a TFTP application or a remote copy protocol (rcp) application, which you can use to set up your computer as a TFTP server or an rcp server. You can use either the copy tftp flash or copy rcp flash command to download the router software feature sets to the router. You can use the copy tftp modem command to download the modem software to the router.

You can load router software with this alternative method in the following circumstances:

• You are not running Windows 95.

• Your router does not contain an Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, or Token Ring interface.

Installation Process for Router Software Feature Sets

This section describes how to install the router software feature sets using a Microsoft Windows 3.1 PC with a TFTP server application. You can also set up your Macintosh or UNIX workstation as a TFTP server and follow the same steps.

To install the software using an rcp application, follow the same procedure and substitute rcp for TFTP in the instructions. You must also substitute the copy rcp flash command for the copy tftp flash command.

Step 1 Install any TFTP server application on the PC. (Not provided by Cisco.)

Step 2 Launch the TFTP server application on the PC. You commonly do this by double-clicking the application icon or its filename.

Step 3 Set up the PC as a TFTP server using the TFTP server application setup or configuration facility.

The user interface of most TFTP server applications includes 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, click in this checkbox.

The TFTP server also allows selection of a "root" directory. You must select the directory in which the Cisco IOS files reside, for example d:\cpswinst\images.

Step 4 Establish a console session from your local PC (which is now configured as a TFTP server), to the Cisco router.

This is the recommended method. If you use this method, when you reload the router with the new image in Step 11, you will remain connected to the router. (If you use Telnet, you will lose connection to the router.)

• Establish a Telnet session from the PC to the router.

Step 5 Connect your PC's Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, or Token Ring port to the router's corresponding LAN port. Use the 10BaseT crossover cable provided if connecting to an Ethernet or Fast Ethernet port. You must use Category 5 cable for Fast Ethernet routers.

---

Note Use straight-through cables if you are connecting via a 10BaseT hub or a 100BaseT hub.

---

Step 6 From the console, enter the copy tftp flash command.

Step 7 When prompted, enter the PC's IP address.

Step 8 When prompted, enter the filename of the Cisco IOS Release 11.2 image to be copied to the router as in the following example:

Source file name? 80138004.bin

This example specifies the IP feature set for Cisco AS5200 access servers.

Step 9 In response to the prompt, enter the destination filename and press Enter to indicate that you want to copy the image.

This is the name you select for the image file on the router. You do not need to use the full pathname of the image on the CD-ROM attached to the PC. In this example, the UNIX filename is used:

Destination file name [80138004.bin]? c5200-i-1.112-4.P

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

If the file is not found, check the following: filename; TFTP server is enabled; correct root directory is selected; IP connectivity between the router and TFTP server.

Step 10 Enter yes or no in response to the prompt asking if you want to erase the existing image copy resident in the router's Flash memory before copying the new one:

Erase flash device before writing? [confirm] yes

When copying to internal Flash memory, the system may provide an option to erase existing internal Flash memory before writing onto it. Answer yes to the questions. 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. If you see three periods (...), the transfer failed. Check IP connectivity between the router and TFTP server using the ping command.

Step 11 Enter the reload command to reload the router:

Installation Process for Modem Software

This section provides steps that describe how to install the modem software using a Microsoft Windows 3.1 PC and a TFTP server application. You can also set up your Macintosh or UNIX workstation as a TFTP server and follow the same steps.

To install the software using an rcp application, follow the same procedure and substitute rcp for TFTP in the instructions. You must also substitute the copy rcp modem command for the copy tftp modem command.

Step 1 Install any TFTP server application on the PC. (Not provided by Cisco.)

Step 2 Launch the TFTP server application on the PC. You commonly do this by double-clicking the application icon or its filename.

Step 3 Set up the PC as a TFTP server using the TFTP server application setup or configuration facility.

The user interface of most TFTP server applications includes 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, you click in this checkbox.

The TFTP server also allows selection of a "root" directory. You must select the directory in which the Cisco IOS files reside, for example d:\cpswinst\images.

Step 4 Establish a console session from your local PC (which is now configured as a TFTP server), to the Cisco router.

You can do this in two ways:

• Connect the PC's COM port to the router's console port.

• Establish a Telnet session from the PC to the router.

Step 5 Connect your PC's Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, or Token Ring port to the router's corresponding LAN port. Use the 10BaseT crossover cable provided if connecting to an Ethernet or Fast Ethernet port. You must use Category 5 cable for Fast Ethernet routers.

---

Note Use straight-through cables if you are connecting via a 10BaseT hub or a 100BaseT hub.

---

Step 6 From the console, enter the following command at the router prompt to copy the new Microcom firmware image from the CD-ROM drive of the PC to the router:

router# copy tftp modem

Step 7 When prompted, enter the keyword all to upgrade the firmware for all modems in the router.

Modem Numbers (<slot>/<port> | group <number> | all)? all

Step 8 When prompted, enter the IP address of your local Microsoft Windows 3.1-based PC as in the following example:

Address or name of remote host [255.255.255.255]? 131.108.1.1

Step 9 When prompted, enter the filename of the Microcom firmware image to be copied to the router as in the following example:

Source file name? 80146101.bin

During the transfer process, messages indicate that the software has accessed the specified file and is loading it.

If the file is not found, check the following: filename; TFTP server is enabled; correct root directory is selected; IP connectivity between the router and TFTP server.

An exclamation point (!) indicates that the copy process is taking place. Each exclamation point indicates that ten packets have been transferred successfully. If you see three periods (...), the transfer failed. Check IP connectivity between the router and TFTP server using the ping command.

Command Reference Pages for TFTP and rcp

This section includes reference pages providing detailed information about the copy rcp flash, copy tftp flash, and copy modem commands. This information supplements the information provided in the steps described earlier in the section "Installing the Router Software Without Using Windows 95,".

copy rcp flash

To copy a file from a network server to the router or to another destination using rcp, use the copy rcp flash EXEC command.

Syntax Description

Command Mode

EXEC

Usage Guidelines

The rcp protocol requires that a client send the remote username of an rcp request to the server. When you issue the copy rcp flash command, by default the Cisco IOS software sends the username associated with the current teletype (TTY), if that name is valid. For example, if the user is connected to the router through Telnet and the user was authenticated through the username command, then the software sends that username as the remote username.

If the TTY username is invalid, the software uses the host name as both the remote and local usernames. To specify a different remote username to be sent to the rcp server, use the ip rcmd remote-username command, and possibly the ip rcmd remote-host command. You can also specify the path of an existing directory along with the remote username.

If you copy a system image from a personal computer used as a file server, the remote host computer must support the remote shell (rsh) protocol.

Use the copy rcp flash to copy a system image from a network server to the router's internal Flash memory using rcp. The Cisco IOS software prompts for the address of the rcp server and rcp filename. When you issue this command, the system provides an option to erase existing Flash memory before writing onto it. The entire copying process takes several minutes and differs from network to network.

Before booting from Flash memory, verify that the checksum of the image in internal Flash memory matches the checksum listed in the README file distributed with the system software image. The checksum of the image in Flash memory is displayed at the bottom of the screen when you issue the copy rcp flash command. The README file was copied to the rcp server automatically when you installed the system software image.

 
Caution If the checksum value does not match the value in the README file, do not reboot the router. Reissue the copy rcp flash command and compare the checksums again. If the checksum is repeatedly wrong, copy the original system software image back into Flash memory before you reboot the router from Flash memory. If you have a corrupted image in Flash memory and try to boot from Flash memory, the router starts the system image contained in ROM (assuming booting from a network server is not configured). If ROM does not contain a fully functional system image, the router cannot function and must be reconfigured through a direct console port connection.

Examples

The following example shows how to use the copy rcp flash command on a Cisco AS5200 access server. The interface might differ slightly on other systems. This example copies a system image named file1 from the netadmin1 directory on the remote server named SERVER1.CISCO.COM with an IP address of 131.108.101.101 to Flash memory. To ensure that enough Flash memory is available to accommodate the system image to be copied, the Cisco IOS software allows you to erase the contents of Flash memory first.

Router1# configure terminal
Router1(config)# ip rcmd remote-username netadmin1
Router(config)# Ctrl-Z
Router# copy rcp flash

copy modem

To download firmware to modems in the Cisco AS5200 access server, use the copy modem EXEC command.

Syntax Description

Default

Disabled

Command Mode

EXEC

Usage Guidelines

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.2.

After you enable this command, you are asked to provide the download destination (a slot/modem-port or all), the remote host name, and the path leading to the source modem firmware.

If a modem that you wish to upgrade is busy with a call when the copy modem command is enabled, the upgrade for that modem yields until the active call is dropped. All other idle modems in the upgrade range proceed with the downloading operation.

Examples

The following example shows how to copy the modem firmware file called modem_upgrade from the TFTP server called Modem_Server to modem 2/0, which is installed in the Cisco AS5200 access server:
