Introduction

The Cisco AS5100 and Cisco AS5200 universal access servers are supported in Cisco IOS Release 11.3(11). With their optimization for high-speed modem access, the Cisco AS5100 and Cisco AS5200 universal access servers are ideally suited for all traditional dialup applications, such as host access, electronic mail, file transfer, and dial-in access to a local area network (LAN).

For information on new features and Cisco IOS commands supported by Release 11.3, see the "New and Changed Information" section and "Related Documentation" section.

Cisco AS5100 Universal Access Server

The Cisco AS5100 universal access server is a versatile data communications platform that combines the functions of an access server, a router, and analog and digital modems in one chassis. Organizations requiring centralized processing capabilities for mobile users and telecommuters will benefit the most from using the Cisco AS5100 universal access server.

Cisco AS5200 Universal Access Server

The Cisco AS5200 universal access server is a multifaceted data communications platform that provides the functions of an access server, a router, modems, and terminal adapters (TAs) in a modular chassis. Mid-sized organizations or service providers requiring centralized processing capabilities for mobile users and telecommuters will benefit the most from using the Cisco AS5200 universal access server.

Early Deployment Releases

These release notes describe only Release 11.3(11) for Cisco AS5100 and Cisco AS5200 universal access servers and do not describe features that are available in Release 11.3 or other Release 11. 3 Early Deployment (ED) releases.

For information about features in Release 11.3, see the Cross-Platform Release Notes for Cisco  IOS Release 11.3  on Cisco Connection Online (CCO) and the Documentation CD-ROM.

For information about features in other platforms, see the product-specific release notes  on CCO  and the Documentation CD-ROM.

System Requirements

This section describes the system requirements for Release 11.3(11):

Memory Requirements

Table 1 describes the memory requirements for the Cisco AS5100 and Cisco AS5200 universal access servers' feature sets supported by Cisco IOS Release 11.3.

Beginning with Cisco IOS Release 10.3, some software image sizes exceed 4 MB and, when compressed, exceed 2 MB. Also, some systems now require more than 1 MB of main system memory for data structure tables.

For Cisco access servers to take advantage of the Release 11.3 features, you must upgrade the code or main system memory as listed in Table 1. Some platforms have specific chip or architecture requirements that affect what can be upgraded and in what increments.

Updating to a New Software Release

For information about updating to a new software release, see the Cisco IOS Software Release Upgrade Paths  product bulletin #703, located on CCO  at:

Service & Support: Technical Documents: Product Bulletins

Under Cisco IOS Release 11.3, click Cisco IOS Software Release 11.3 Upgrade Paths (#703: 12/97).

This product bulletin does not contain information specific to Cisco IOS Release 11.3, but provides generic upgrade information that may apply to Cisco IOS Release 11.3.

Modem Code

Cisco IOS Release 11.2(1) and later includes bundled modem code for the Cisco AS5200, which is the firmware or portware that runs on the Microcom 12-port and MICA 6-port modem cards. Bundling eliminates the need to store separate microcode images. When the access server starts, the Cisco IOS software unpacks the modem code and loads the proper code on the modem cards.

Note You could have received a later version of modem code than the one bundled with the Cisco IOS software. The modem code in Flash memory is mapped to the modems. Unless you fully understand how Cisco IOS software uses modem code, it is important to keep the factory configuration.

The modem code release notes are on CCO and the Documentation CD-ROM.

Caution
Cisco IOS images with strong encryption (including, but not limited to 168-bit (3DES) data encryption feature sets) are subject to United States government export controls and have limited distribution. Strong encryption images to be installed outside the United States are likely to require an export license. Customer orders may be denied or subject to delay due to United States government regulations. When applicable, purchaser/user must obtain local import and use authorizations for all encryption strengths. Please contact your sales representative or distributor for more information, or send an e-mail to export@cisco.com.

New and Changed Information

The following section lists the new features supported by the Cisco AS5100 and Cisco AS5200 universal access servers in Cisco IOS Release 11.3.

No New Features in Release 11.3(11)

There are no new features supported by the Cisco AS5100 and Cisco AS5200 universal access servers in Cisco IOS Release 11.3(11).

Important Notes

The following sections contain important notes about Cisco IOS Release 11.3 that might apply to the Cisco AS5100 and Cisco AS5200 universal access servers.

ATM Multipoint Signaling

Prior to Cisco IOS Release 11.1(13) and 11.2(8), the atm multipoint-signaling command was used on the main interface and affected all subinterfaces. For Release 11.1(13), 11.2(8), and later releases (including Release 11.3), explicit configuration on each subinterface is required to obtain the same functionality. Refer to caveat CSCdj20944, which is described as follows:

The atm multipoint-signaling interface command is currently only available on the main ATM interface. The effect is that signaling behavior (point-to-point or point-to-multipoint) for all clients on all subinterfaces is determined by the command on the main interface.

Clients on different subinterfaces can behave differently. Specifically, 1577 requires point-to-point, and PIM allows point-to-multipoint. Use the command on a per subinterface basis.

Enable the atm multipoint-signaling command on all subinterfaces that require it. Previously, you only needed to enable the command on the main interface.

Cisco IOS Release 11.3, 11.3 NA, and 11.3 T End of Sales and End of Engineering

End of Engineering (EOE) means that there are no more regularly scheduled maintenance releases. The last maintenance release scheduled on the EOE date is only available through CCO and Field Service Operations---not through manufacturing.

EOS and EOE releases are subject to change. For the most up-to-date information on the status of EOS or EOE, see the End of Sales and End of Engineering for Cisco  IOS Software Releases  product bulletins located on CCO.

Ongoing support for functionality in Releases 11.3, 11.3 NA, and 11.3 T is available in Cisco IOS Release 12.0(3)T and later maintenance releases of Cisco IOS Release 12.0 on CCO at:

Service & Support: Technical Documents: Product Bulletins: Software

Under Cisco IOS 11.3, click End of Sales and End of Engineering for Cisco IOS Software Releases 11.3 and 11.3 T (#847: 12/98) or Cisco IOS Software 11.3 NA EoS and EoE (#849:12/98)

Forwarding of Locally Sourced AppleTalk Packets

Cisco's implementation of AppleTalk does not forward packets with local source and destination network addresses. This behavior does not conform to the definition of AppleTalk in Inside AppleTalk. However, this behavior is designed to prevent any possible corruption of the AppleTalk Address Resolution Protocol (AARP) table in any AppleTalk node that collects MAC-addresses.

Missing Source-Route Bridging Commands

Due to a production problem, many source-route bridging commands were omitted from the printed version of the Cisco IOS Software Command Summary (78-4746-XX). For documentation of all source-route bridging commands, refer to the Bridging and IBM Networking Command Reference (78-4743-XX). You can also obtain the most current documentation on CCO  or on the Documentation CD-ROM.

New TACACS+ Attribute-Value Pair

A new authorization feature that allows you to separately configure and authorize Multilink PPP was added in Cisco IOS Release 11.3(1). This feature can cause MLP authorization to fail in Terminal Access Controller Access Control System (TACACS+) servers that do not include authorization permissions in the configuration.

For TACACS+, add the following attribute-value (AV) pair for all users who are allowed to negotiate Multilink PPP:

service = ppp protocol = multilink {

40-bit Encryption Images are Unavailable in Release 11.3(1)

Cisco is conducting an internal review of the build and distribution processes associated with its 40-bit Cisco IOS cryptographic products. To provide seamless access to Cisco IOS 40-bit encryption capability, Cisco will provide access to the most current 40-bit encryption images, beginning with Cisco IOS Release 11.2 (12), 11.2(12)P, and 11.3(2).

The following 40-bit encryption images are unavailable indefinitely:

This review is not related to any new or previously unreported caveats. The information gathered in the review will be used to implement new automated development and order-processing applications.

Caveats

Caveats describe unexpected behavior in Cisco IOS software releases. Severity 1 caveats are the most serious caveats; severity 2 caveats are less serious.

This section only contains open and resolved caveats for the current Cisco IOS maintenance release.

For information on caveats in Cisco IOS Release 11.3, see "Important Notes and Caveats for Release 11.3" in Cross-Platform Relea se Notes for Cisco IOS Release 11.3 on CCO and the Documentation CD-ROM. These release notes contain caveats affecting all maintenance releases and list severity 1 and 2 caveats for Cisco IOS 11.3(11).

Note If you have an account with CCO, you can use Bug Navigator II to find caveats of any severity for any release. You can reach Bug Navigator II at http://www.cisco.com/support/bugtools.
