How Cisco IOS is Packaged and Sold

How Cisco IOS is Packaged and Sold

Introduction

Cisco IOS software releases 12.0 and 11.3 are packaged in "feature sets" (also called "software images"). There are many different feature sets available, and each feature set contains a specific subset of Cisco IOS features. Not all feature sets are available on all platforms. Also, some feature sets support different features when run on different platforms.

Feature Sets are categorized as follows:


Note 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 may 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.


Note Feature Sets and their contents can change periodically. For the most updated information, access Cisco Connection Online at http://www.cisco.com.

Cisco IOS Network Address Translation (NAT) Packaging

In Cisco IOS software releases 11.2 and 11.2P, full NAT functionality, including Port Address Translation (PAT), a subset of full NAT functionality, is available only in "Plus" images.

In Cisco IOS software releases 11.3 and 11.3T, PAT is available in all base images on selected platforms. Customers requiring only PAT functionality need not purchase a "Plus" image. Only customers requiring full NAT functionality need to purchase a "Plus" image.

Beginning with Cisco IOS software release 12.0, complete Cisco IOS NAT functionality, including Port Address Translation (PAT), is available in all software images for platforms that support Cisco IOS NAT at no extra charge. Although all "Plus" images will continue to deliver full NAT functionality (as well as other value-add services), customers are not required to purchase "Plus" images in order to obtain full NAT functionality.

Also, beginning with release 12.0, customers need not purchase a NAT Feature License for Cisco RSP7000, 7200, and 7500 platforms in order to use NAT functionality.

Beginning with Cisco IOS software releases 11.2(13)P, 11.3(3)T, 12.0(1), and 12.0(1)T, full NAT functionality is included in all 1600 and 2500 Cisco IOS Firewall images.

NAT support for H.323 traffic is supported in releases 12.0 and 12.0T only in Enterprise images on Cisco 2500, 2600, 3620, 3640, 4000, 4500, 4700, AS5200, AS5300, Cat5000 RSM, 7200, RSP7000, and 7500 platforms.
