1This feature set is offered in the basic feature set.
2This feature set is offered in the Plus feature set.
3This feature set is offered in the encryption feature sets which consist of IPsec 56-bit (Plus IPsec 56) data encryption feature sets.
4This feature set is offered in the encryption feature sets which consist of Triple DES (3DES) Encryption data encryption feature sets.
5This feature set allows a non-Enterprise SNA Switch image to run on a Cisco 4500-M router.


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.

Table 4 and Table 5 list the features and feature sets supported by Cisco IOS Release 12.1(4) for the Cisco 4000 and 4000-M.

Table 6 and Table 7 list the features and feature sets supported by Cisco IOS Release 12.1(4) for the Cisco 4500, 4500-M, 4700, and 4700-M.

All tables use the following conventions to identify features:


Note   This feature set table only contains a selected list of features. This table is not cumulative—nor does it list all the features in each image.

New and Changed Information

The following is a list of the new hardware and software features supported by Cisco 4000 series routers for Release 12.1.

New Hardware Features in Release 12.1(4)

There are no new hardware features supported by the Cisco 4000 series in Release 12.1(4).

New Software Features in Release 12.1(4)

There is one new software image supported for the Cisco 4000 series in Release 12.1(4). The new IP/SNASw Plus image (c4500-a3is-mz) allows a non-Enterprise SNA Switch image to run on the Cisco 4500-M platform with 32 MB RAM.

Limitations and Restrictions

MIBs

Old Cisco Management Information Bases (MIBs) will be replaced in a future release. OLD-CISCO-* MIBs are currently migrated into more scalable MIBs—without affecting existing Cisco IOS products or NMS applications. You can update from deprecated MIBs to the replacement MIBs as shown in Table 8.

Caveats

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 about caveats in Cisco IOS Release 12.1, see Caveats for Cisco IOS Release 12.1, which lists severity 1 and 2 caveats, and is located on CCO and the Documentation CD-ROM.


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 on CCO at: Software Center: Cisco IOS Software: Cisco Bug Toolkit: Cisco Bugtool Navigator II or at http://www.cisco.com/support/bugtools.

Related Documentation

The following sections describe the documentation available for Cisco 4000 series routers. These documents consist of hardware and software installation guides, Cisco IOS configuration and command references, system error messages, feature modules, and other documents.

Cisco IOS Software Documentation Set

The Cisco IOS software documentation set consists of the Cisco IOS configuration guides, Cisco IOS command references, and several other supporting documents that are shipped with your order in electronic form on the Documentation CD-ROM—unless you specifically ordered the printed versions.

Documentation Modules

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. You can use each configuration guide in conjunction with its corresponding command reference.

On CCO and the Documentation CD-ROM, two master hot-linked documents provide information for the Cisco IOS software documentation set.

Release 12.1 Documentation Set

Table 9 describes the contents of the Cisco IOS Release 12.1 software documentation set, which is available in electronic form, and also in printed form upon request.


Note   You can find the most current Cisco IOS documentation on CCO and the Documentation CD-ROM. These electronic documents may contain updates and modifications made after the paper documents were printed.

Obtaining Documentation

World Wide Web

You can access the most current Cisco documentation on the World Wide Web at http://www.cisco.com, http://www-china.cisco.com, or http://www-europe.cisco.com.

Documentation CD-ROM

Cisco documentation and additional literature are available in a CD-ROM package, which ships with your product. The Documentation CD-ROM is updated monthly. Therefore, it is probably more current than printed documentation. The CD-ROM package is available as a single unit or as an annual subscription.

Ordering Documentation

Registered CCO users can order the Documentation CD-ROM and other Cisco Product documentation through our online Subscription Services at http://www.cisco.com/cgi-bin/subcat/kaojump.cgi.

Nonregistered CCO users can order documentation through a local account representative by calling Cisco's corporate headquarters (California, USA) at 408 526-4000 or, in North America, call 800 553-NETS (6387).

Obtaining Technical Assistance

Cisco provides Cisco Connection Online (CCO) as a starting point for all technical assistance. Warranty or maintenance contract customers can use the Technical Assistance Center. All customers can submit technical feedback on Cisco documentation using the web, e-mail, a self-addressed stamped response card included in many printed docs, or by sending mail to Cisco.
