These release notes describe the following topics:
Cisco Systems extends enterprise-class and managed services Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) versatility, integration, and power to branch offices with the Cisco 2600 series modular access router family. The widely deployed Cisco 2600 series modular access routers are designed to enable customers to easily 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 a solution to meet today's branch office needs for applications such as:
The Cisco 2600 series modular architecture provides the versatility needed to adapt 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 today's evolving enterprise networks.

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 sections list the new hardware and software features supported by the Cisco 2600 series for Release 12.1(3a) XI1. These features are broken down by feature in Tables 4, 5, 6, and 7.
The following new hardware features are supported in Cisco IOS Release 12.1(3a) XI1.
The data encryption AIM (Advanced Integration Module) and NM (Network Module) modules are hardware Layer 3 (IPSec) encryption modules and provide DES(56-bit) and 3DES(168-bit) IPsec encryption for multiple T1s or E1s of bandwidth. This level of performance is a dramatic increase over that achievable when running IPSec in software on the main CPU of the Cisco 2600 or 3600. These products also have hardware support for DH, RSA, and DSA key generation.
In addition to encryption, the data encryption AIM is intended to increase the security of passwords and various encryption keys over that provided by IOS software and the platform hardware. Specifically, these products have been submitted for Level 2 of the Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 140-1 in general as well as more stringent levels for some parameters such as Level 3 tamper resistance.
The ISDN BRI NT/TE voice interface card (VIC-2BRI-NT/TE) for the Cisco 2600 series enables Cisco IOS software to replicate the public switched network interface to a PBX that is compatible with European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) NET3 and QSIG switch types.
In the past, customers with PBXs that implement only the BRI TE interface have had to make substantial hardware and software changes on the PBX to implement the NT interface. The implementation of an NT interface on the router allows the customer to connect ISDN PBXs and key systems to a multiservice network with a minimum of configuration changes on the PBX.
The following new software features are supported by the Cisco 2600 series for Cisco IOS Release 12.1(3a) XI1.
This feature supports the data encryption Advanced Integration Modules (AIM) and Network Module (NM) to provide hardware-based encryption for the Cisco 2600 and 3600 series routers. This feature requires both Cisco IOS Release 12.1(3a) XI1, or later and one of the Cisco IOS feature sets that includes IPSec.
The Interworking Signaling Enhancements for H.323 and SIP VoIP feature enables VoIP networks to properly signal the setup and tear-down of calls when interworking with PSTN networks. These enhancements ensure that in-band tones and announcements are generated when needed so that the voice path is cut-through at the appropriate point of call setup and that early alerting (ringing) does not occur. In addition, support for network-side ISDN and the reducing of speech clipping is addressed.
The Multimedia Conference Manager with Voice Gateway image with RSVP to ATM feature is designed to deliver Cisco's H.323 gatekeeper, proxy and voice gateway solutions with routing as a single Cisco IOS image. In addition, the ability to map H.323 Resource Reservation Protocol (RSVP) reservations to ATM VBR SVCs (switched virtual circuits) has also been incorporated for guaranteeing QoS (quality of service) over ATM backbones for video applications.
This feature supports the ISDN BRI NT/TE voice interface card (VIC-2BRI-NT/TE) for the Cisco 2600 and Cisco 3600 series and the ISDN BRI Voice Module (BVM4-NT/TE) for the Cisco MC3810. These enable Cisco IOS software to replicate the public switched network interface to a PBX that is compatible with European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) NET3 and QSIG switch types.
In the past, customers with PBXs that implement only the BRI TE interface, have had to make substantial hardware and software changes on the PBX to implement the NT interface. The implementation of an NT interface on the router now allows the customer to connect ISDN PBXs and Key Systems to a multiservice network with a minimum of configuration changes on the PBX.
The VoIP Call Admission Control using RSVP feature synchronizes Resource Reservation Protocol (RSVP) procedures with H.323 Version 2 (Fast Connect) setup procedures to guarantee that the required Quality of Service (QoS) for VoIP calls is maintained across the IP network. Prior to Cisco IOS Release 12.1(3a) XI1, VoIP gateways used H.323 Version 1 (Slow Connect) procedures when initiating calls requiring bandwidth reservation. This feature, which is enabled by default, allows gateways to use H.323 Version 2 (Fast Connect) for all calls, including those requiring RSVP.
The following sections contain important notes about Cisco IOS Release 12.1(3a) XI1 that can apply to the Cisco 2600 series.
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.
