Cisco IOS Release 12.0(5)XN supports the following routers:
For detailed listings of the supported hardware associated with each platform, see the following documents
For detailed descriptions of the new hardware features for Cisco IOS Release 12.0, refer to the cross-platform Release Notes for Cisco IOS Release 12.0 .
To determine the version of Cisco IOS software running on a Cisco router, log in to the router and enter the show version EXEC command:
router>show version Cisco Internetwork Operating System Software IOS (tm) 2600 Software (c2600-ajs-mz), Version 12.0(5)XN, RELEASE SOFTWARE
Cisco IOS software is packaged in feature sets consisting of software images--depending on the platform. Each feature set contains a specific set of Cisco IOS features.
See the following platform specific Release Notes for a complete listing of the features associated within each feature set:
Release Notes for Cisco 2500 Series for Cisco IOS Release 12.T.
Release Notes for Cisco 2600 Series for Cisco IOS Release 12.T.
Release Notes for Cisco 3600 Series for Cisco IOS Release 12.T.
Release Notes for Cisco 4000 Series for Cisco IOS Release 12.T.
Release Notes for Cisco 7000 Family for Cisco IOS Release 12.T.
Release Notes for Catalyst 5000 Series RSM/VIP2 Cisco IOS 12.0 T Software Release
The following new features are supported by the Cisco IOS Release 12.0(5)T:
The Cisco Transaction Connection (CTRC) software feature provides the following functionality:
SNASw provides an easier way to design and implement networks with Systems Network Architecture (SNA) routing requirements. Previously, this network design was accomplished using Advanced Peer-to-Peer Networking (APPN) with full network node (NN) support in the Cisco router. This type of support provided the SNA routing functionality needed, but was inconsistent with the trends in Enterprise networks today. The corporate intranet is replacing the SNA WAN. Enterprises are replacing their traditional SNA network with an IP infrastructure that supports traffic from a variety of clients using a variety of protocols, which requires access to applications on a variety of platforms, including SNA applications on Enterprise servers.
While SNA routing is still required when multiple servers must be accessed, the number of nodes required to perform this function is decreasing as the IP infrastructure grows and as the amount of native SNA traffic in the network decreases.
SNASw enables an enterprise to develop an IP infrastructure and meet SNA routing requirements.
The number of NNs in the network and the amount of broadcast traffic are reduced. Configuration is simplified, and SNA data traffic can be transported within the IP infrastructure. The following features provide this functionality:
Caveats describe unexpected behavior or defects in Cisco IOS software releases. Severity 1 caveats are the most serious caveats; severity 2 caveats are less serious.
For information on caveats in Cisco IOS Release 12.0T, see Caveats for Cisco IOS Release 12.0T that accompanies these release notes. This document lists severity 1 and 2 caveats for Cisco IOS Release 12.0 T.
All caveats in Release 12.0 XN are also in Release 12.0 T.
For information on caveats in Cisco IOS Release 12.0, see Caveats for Cisco IOS Release 12.0, which lists severity 1 and 2 caveats, and is located on CCO and the Documentation CD-ROM.
The following sections describe the documentation available for each platform that supports Cisco IOS 12.0 XN. These documents consist of hardware and software installation guides, Cisco IOS configuration and command references, system error messages, feature modules, and other documents.
Documentation is available as printed manuals or electronic documents, except for feature modules, which are available online on CCO and the Documentation CD-ROM.
Use these release notes with these documents:
The following documents are specific to Release 12.0 T and are located on CCO and the Documentation CD-ROM:
The Cisco IOS software documentation set consists of the Cisco IOS configuration guides, Cisco IOS command references, and several other supporting documents.

These documents are available for each platform on CCO and the Documentation CD-ROM.
Feature modules describe new features supported by Cisco IOS Release 12.0 XN, and are updates to the Cisco IOS documentation set. A feature module consists of a brief overview of the feature, benefits, configuration tasks, and a command reference. As updates, the feature modules are available online only. Feature module information is incorporated in the next release of the Cisco IOS documentation set.
The Cisco IOS software documentation set consists of the Cisco IOS configuration guides, Cisco IOS command references, and several other supporting documents which are shipped with your order in electronic form on the Documentation CD-ROM--unless you specifically ordered the printed versions. The documentation set is also available on CCO.
Each module in the Cisco IOS documentation set consists of two books: a configuration guide and a corresponding command reference. Chapters in a configuration guide describe protocols, configuration tasks, and Cisco IOS software functionality, and contain comprehensive configuration examples. Chapters in a command reference provide complete command syntax information. Use each configuration guide with its corresponding command reference.
Table 9 describes the contents of the Cisco IOS Release 12.0 software documentation set, which is available in electronic and printed form.
