Early Deployment Releases

Cisco IOS Release 12.1(2)E1 supports the Catalyst 5000 family switch ATM module. Cisco IOS Release 12.1(2)E1 is based on Release 12.1(1). Release 12.1(2)E1 will eventually be merged into Release 12.1 T.

For more information about the Cisco IOS software release process, refer to Cisco IOS Software Releases: Product Bulletin 537 located on the Documentation CD-ROM and on CCO:
http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/cc/cisco/mkt/ios/rel/prodlit/537_pp.htm

These release notes do not describe features that are available in Release 12.1, Release 12.1 T, or other Release 12.1 Early Deployment (ED) releases.

Usage Guidelines and Restrictions

This section describes the usage guidelines and restrictions for the Catalyst 5000 family ATM module Release 12.1(2)E1.

New Features in Release 12.1(2)E1

The new features introduced in Release 12.1(2)E1 include:

The LANE QoS feature can differentiate multiple classes of traffic by creating (multiple) VCCs with the desired QoS parameters. When the prioritized traffic is received, the LANE client forwards it on a VCC with matching QoS parameters.
Currently, LANE QoS supports the creation of unspecified bit rate+ (UBR+) VCCs. A UBR+ VCC is a UBR VCC for which minimum cell rate (MCR) is guaranteed by the switch. If the switch cannot guarantee the rate you have specified for the UBR+ VCC, the LANE client will revert to the UBR with no MCR guarantee.

Note If you do not want the LANE QoS feature, we recommend Release 12.0(9)W5(17a).

For a detailed description of LANE QoS, refer to the Catalyst 5000 and 6000 Family Switches ATM Software Configuration Guide and Command Reference publication and the Catalyst 6000 Family Software Configuration Guide .
