These release notes for the Cisco 2600 series support Cisco IOS Release 12.1(4). These release notes are updated as needed to describe new features, memory recommendations, hardware support, software platform deferrals, and changes to the microcode or modem code and related documents.
For a list of the software caveats that apply to Release 12.1(4), see Caveats for Cisco IOS Release 12.1 that accompanies these release notes. This caveats document is updated for every maintenance release and is also located on Cisco Connection Online (CCO) and the Documentation CD-ROM.
Use these release notes with Cross-Platform Release Notes for Cisco IOS Release 12.1 located on CCO and the Documentation CD-ROM.
These release notes describe the following topics:
The Cisco 2600 series modular access routers are designed to adopt future technologies and scale to accommodate network expansion. The Cisco 2600 series shares modular interfaces with the Cisco 1600, Cisco 1700, and Cisco 3600 series, providing:
The Cisco 2600 series modular architecture adapts to changes in network technology as new services and applications become available. Driven by a powerful RISC processor, the Cisco 2600 series supports the advanced quality of service (QoS), security, and network integration features required in evolving enterprise networks.
This section describes the system requirements for Release 12.1:

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, you 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. |

The following is a list of the new hardware and software feature categories supported by the Cisco 2600 for Release 12.1. These categories are broken down by feature in Tables 4 and 5.
Beginning with Cisco IOS Release 12.0(7)XK, Cisco changed the product numbers used to order a specific Cisco IOS software image. In short, Cisco will remove the periods separating the release train, maintenance release, and build number. The following table provides some examples.
Old Product Number | New Product Number | Release | Image Description |
|---|---|---|---|
S364AR1K2-12.1.4= | S364AR1K2-1214= | Cisco IOS Release 12.1(4) | Cisco 3640 Series IOS Enterprise/SNA SW PLUS IPSEC 3DES |
S26CP-12.1.4= | S26CP-1214= | Cisco IOS Release 12.1(4) | Cisco 2600 Series IOS IP Plus |
Older Cisco Management Information Bases (MIBs) will be replaced in a future release. OLD-CISCO-* MIBS are currently migrated into more scalable MIBswithout affecting existing Cisco IOS products or NMS applications. You can update from deprecated MIBs to the replacement MIBs as shown in Table 6.
| Deprecated MIB | Replacement |
