Optimized for today's IP-based networks and offering fast convergence, Cisco IOS Software provides extraordinary resiliency and advanced networking services by separating control, forwarding, and management planes to yield innovative services and high performance. Extremely flexible, adaptable, and scalable, Cisco IOS Software can run on both high-end distributed hardware and low-end single processor systems. It employs hardware switching using advanced network processors, application-specific integrated circuits, and fast-access memory (content addressable memory) where the stored data item is located by the contents of the memory itself. Cisco IOS Software minimizes operational expenses, maximizes return on investment, and improves business productivity: Minimizes new infrastructure—The continuous expansion of features and functionality enables you to adapt to evolving business needs. Increases organizational productivity—Reliably delivers access to business-critical applications regardless of time or location. Protects the network from accidental and malicious events—Minimizes intervention and operational support costs. Cisco IOS Software Family Cisco IOS Software continues to evolve over time to meet the rapidly changing requirements of the most demanding Enterprise and Service Provider networks. As a family of releases, the feature richness and broad hardware support delivered in Cisco IOS Software is unmatched in the industry. Table 1 summarizes the latest releases that make up the Cisco IOS Software Family: Table 1—Cisco IOS Software Family Types and Releases Type Release Description IOS T Maintenance Release 12.3 Maintenance Release 12.4 A comprehensive portfolio of Cisco IOS Software technologies and broad hardware adoption for Enterprise, Access, and Commercial networks.

Cisco IOS Software Family Hardware Table 2 correlates Cisco hardware to the recommended Cisco IOS Software Family release. Table 2—Cisco IOS Software Family Hardware Hardware Recommended IOS T, IOS S, IOS XR Access and Dial Routers Cisco 800, 1700, 2600, 2800 Series Routers 12.4 12.4T Cisco 3700 and 3800 Series Routers 12.4 12.4T Cisco AS5x50 12.4 12.4T Switches Cisco Catalyst 2970, 3560 and 3750 Series 12.2SE Cisco Catalyst 4500 and 4900 Series Switch 12.2SG Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series Switch 12.2SX Mid-Range Hardware Cisco 7200 Series and Cisco 7301 Routers 12.4 12.4T 12.2SB Cisco 7304 Router 12.2SB Cisco 7500 Series Router 12.4 12.0S Cisco 10000 Series Router 12.2SB High-End Hardware Cisco 7600 Series Internet Router 12.2SR Cisco 8550 MGX RPM-PR/XF Router 12.4T Cisco 12000 Series Router IOS-XR, 12.0S Cisco CRS-1 Carrier Routing System IOS-XR Cisco IOS Software Family Numbering In order to effectively manage Cisco IOS Software releases within your network, it is important to understand IOS T, IOS S, and IOS XR numbering. IOS T Numbering Figure 1 illustrates the relationships between Cisco IOS Software Maintenance Release 12.4 and Cisco IOS Software Release 12.4T and shows the evolution to Cisco IOS Software Maintenance Release 12.5 and Cisco IOS Software Release 12.5T. Figure 1—IOS T Relationships Cisco IOS Software Maintenance Release 12.4 receives software fixes on a regular basis but does not receive new software features or hardware. It is important to note that the fixes applied to Cisco IOS Software Release 12.4 are synchronized with subsequent versions of Cisco IOS Software Release 12.4T. Derived from Cisco IOS Software Release 12.4, Cisco IOS Software Release 12.4T receives regular software fixes and provides new features and hardware. This relationship is carried forward with Cisco IOS Software Releases 12.5 and 12.5T. The software fixes and new software features and hardware support in Cisco IOS Software Releases 12.4 and 12.4T are consolidated in Cisco IOS Software Release 12.5. Additional new software features and hardware are provided in Cisco IOS Software Release 12.5T. The key elements of IOS T numbering are the maintenance release number, individual release number, and the numbered version identifier. (See Figure 2.) Figure 2—IOS T Numbering Notes: The maintenance release number is the unique number of the release. The individual release number is the version identifier of the release. Each individual release of Cisco IOS Software Maintenance Release 12.4 includes additional software fixes. Each individual release of Cisco IOS Software Release 12.4T includes additional software fixes, and new software features and hardware. The numbered version identifier is the incremental version of each individual release. Each numbered version delivers additional software fixes on an accelerated schedule, prior to the next planned individual release. Due to separate schedules, Cisco IOS Software Maintenance Release 12.4 and Cisco IOS Software Release 12.4T do not share individual release numbers. If Cisco IOS Software Release 12.4 and Cisco IOS Software Release 12.4T did share an individual release number, the releases would include the same software fixes. IOS S Numbering The releases within the IOS S family share a common code base from Cisco IOS Software Release 12.2S. On top of the common code base, additional software fixes and new software features are included in each version of Cisco IOS Software Releases 12.2SB, 12.2SX, 12.2SE, 12.2SG, and 12.2SR. After their inclusion, where applicable, the additional software fixes and new software features are propagated to other IOS S family members. By sharing the common code base and through the independent delivery of fixes, features, and hardware, Cisco optimizes the IOS S family members to meet the rapidly changing requirements of critical Enterprise and Service Provider market segments. The key elements of IOS S numbering are the release number, individual release number, and the numbered version identifier. (See Figure 3.) Figure 3—IOS S Numbering IOS XR Numbering Cisco IOS XR software comprises modular packages. Each package contains the components to perform a specific set of router functions, such as routing, security, or line card support. The key elements of IOS XR numbering are the major release identifier, minor release identifier, and maintenance revision identifier. (See Figure 4.) Figure 4—IOS XR Numbering The major release identifier is the major release number for a package. A major release occurs when there is a significant architectural change to the product (for example, an important new capability is introduced). All packages that operate on the router must be at the same major release level. The minor release identifier is the minor release number for a given package. A minor release contains one or more new features or software fixes. The minor release version does not have to be identical for all software packages that operate on the router. But the operating packages must be certified by Cisco as compatible with each other. The maintenance revision identifier is the maintenance release number for a given package. A maintenance release contains a collection of software fixes. The maintenance release version does not have to be identical for all software packages that operate on the router. But the major and minor versions of the maintenance release must match those of the package that is updated. Cisco IOS Software Release Migration Cisco recommends that customers take inventory of the Cisco IOS Software releases deployed in their networks on a regular basis. This helps to ensure that networks run the most current, supported releases and to keep the total number of deployed releases to a minimum. In general, the migration path for a Cisco IOS Software release is to the latest version of that release. The latest version incorporates the current software fixes, hardware support, and new software features. For example, upgrade from a maintenance release to a new version of that maintenance release, and upgrade from a T release or an SG release to a new version of the T or SG release, respectively. In order to support new hardware or functionality, customers might need to upgrade from a maintenance release to a T release, or to a completely different family. For example, to support the latest features of the Cisco 10000, upgrade from Cisco IOS Software Release 12.0S or 12.3XI to Cisco IOS Software Release 12.3SB, or to support the latest features of the Catalyst 6500, upgrade from Cisco IOS Software Release 12.1E to 12.2SX. The IOS T Migration Examples section presents high-level examples of migration for some of the currently shipping IOS T, IOS S, and IOS XR releases. Note: Cisco IOS Software release migration is an ongoing process that takes detailed planning. Customers should work closely with their account managers when they take inventory of their deployed Cisco IOS Software releases and plan migration to the current releases. IOS T Migration Examples Table 3 and Table 4 describe example migration paths from Cisco IOS T releases. Table 3—Migration Paths from Cisco IOS Software Release 12.4(7) Migration Strategy Example Strategy Cisco IOS Software Release 12.4(7x) runs on the network, where x is a numbered version of Cisco IOS Software Release 12.4(7), such as Cisco IOS Software Release 12.4(7a). You need additional software fixes on an accelerated schedule prior to the next individual release which is Cisco IOS Software12.4(8). Migrate to the next (or later) numbered version of Cisco IOS Software Release 12.4(7), such as Cisco IOS Software Release 12.4(7b). Cisco IOS Software Release 12.4(7) runs on the network. You need additional software fixes. Migrate to the next (or later) individual release after Cisco IOS Software Release 12.4(7), such as Cisco IOS Software Release 12.4(8). Cisco IOS Software Release 12.4(7) runs on the network. You need software fixes, new features, and hardware support delivered in the Cisco IOS Software Release 12.4T family. Migrate to the next (or later) instance of Cisco IOS Software Release 12.4T. For example, migrate to Cisco IOS Software Release 12.4(9)T. Cisco IOS Software Release 12.4(7) runs on the network.

IOS XR Migration Examples Table 7—Migration Paths from Cisco IOS XR Releases Migration Strategy Example Strategy Cisco IOS XR Release 3.2.1 runs on the network. You need the latest software fixes. Migrate to Cisco IOS XR Release 3.2.x, where x is the next (or later) maintenance revision of Cisco IOS XR Release 3.2.1. For example, migrate from Cisco IOS XR Release 3.2.1 to 3.2.2. Cisco IOS XR Release 3.2.1 runs on the network. You need one or more new features or software fixes. Migrate to Cisco IOS XR Release 3.x.1, where x is the next minor release of Cisco IOS XR Release 3. For example, migrate from Cisco IOS XR Release 3.2.1 to 3.3.1. Cisco IOS XR Release 3.2.1 runs on the network. You need major new capabilities. Migrate to the next major Cisco IOS XR release. For example, migrate from Cisco IOS XR Release 3.2.1 to Release 4.1.1. Cisco IOS Software Life Cycle The Cisco IOS Software Release Policy is a structured plan that addresses the Cisco IOS Software life cycle from First Commercial Shipment (FCS) through End of Life (EoL). The Release Policy addresses life cycle guidelines and migration planning for IOS T and IOS S releases, such as Cisco IOS Software Release 12.4 and 12.4T, and Cisco IOS Software Release 12.2SG, as well as Cisco IOS Software Release 12.0S. These acronyms are associated with life cycle milestones: FCS—First Customer Shipment. Cisco makes the release available to customers on Cisco.com. EoS—End of Sale Customers can no longer order a release from Cisco manufacturing, but maintenance releases are available to download from the Software Center. An announcement six months prior to EoS provides advanced notice of the milestone. EoE—End of Engineering Cisco no longer builds Cisco IOS Software images, no new software fixes are provided by Cisco IOS Engineering, and no new functionality is added. Cisco Technical Support continues to offer customer support for the release. EoL—End of Life Cisco Technical Support ends customer support for the release and only opens a case to recommend an upgrade to a newer Cisco IOS Software release. Refer to Cisco IOS Software Product Life Cycle Dates & Milestones, Product Bulletin No. 2214 for more information. Figure 5 shows Cisco IOS Software life cycle time frames from FCS to EoL. Figure 5—Cisco IOS Software Life Cycle Time Frames—IOS T and IOS S, and Release 12.0S Notes: The End of Engineering (EoE) schedule is up to 48 months from FCS. The End of Sales (EoS) and EoL milestones are based on EoE time frames. Cisco recommends that release review and migration planning start at 36 months. Software Retirement Cisco IOS Software placed on the Cisco IOS Software Center remains available for customer download for eighteen months. After eighteen months, the software is eligible for retirement and removal from the Cisco IOS Software Center. The software retirement policy applies to numbered versions of IOS T and IOS S releases, such as Cisco IOS Software Release 12.4(7a), 12.4(8)T1, 12.2(31)SG1), and Cisco IOS Software Release 12.0S. Software on the Cisco IOS Software Center is not retired unless a viable migration path exists. A viable migration path does not cross critical memory boundaries for supported hardware and, if applicable, has a similar internal or external certification. Cisco IOS Software is subject to deferral at any time should a widespread, catastrophic software defect be discovered. Software retirement is not a formal life cycle milestone, but it does underscore the recommendation from Cisco that you implement current versions of Cisco IOS Software. Cisco does not recommend new deployments of retired software. Cisco IOS Software is retired based on age. If the Cisco IOS Software that runs in a customer network is retired, it does not mean the software should be automatically replaced. If the software meets customer needs, then the customer should continue to use it. Cisco supports retired software until it reaches End of Life. Regardless of its status on the IOS Software Center, Cisco recommends that you maintain copies of all Cisco IOS Software in the network. Important Communications about Cisco IOS Software Releases Cisco issues many software advisories to customers for informational purposes only. Often, software advisories describe problems with Cisco IOS Software that are hardware-specific or occur under unusual circumstances, and therefore do not affect most customers. Often, no action is required by the customer. These critical software release communications from Cisco do require customers to evaluate the impact of the underlying problem on their networks and take appropriate action: Security Advisory—Product Security Incident Response Team (PSIRT) issues a security advisory to alert customers to security issues that directly impact Cisco products and to help customers repair the Cisco product. Security Notices—Cisco issues Security Notices about issues that require a response to information posted to a public forum, or to make recommendations to mitigate general problems that affect network stability. Deferral Advisory—Cisco issues a deferral advisory to announce the removal of a Cisco IOS image from Cisco's offerings and to introduce a replacement image. A Deferral Advisory is most often issued to correct a critical defect. At the time that the deferral of a Cisco IOS image is advised, customers are strongly urged to migrate from the affected image to the replacement image. Cisco IOS Packaging Cisco IOS Packaging consists of eight packages for Cisco routers and five packages for Cisco switches. (See Figure 6.) Figure 6—Cisco IOS Packaging for Cisco Routers and Switches Four packages are designed to satisfy requirements in four typical service categories: IP data Converged voice and data Security and VPN Enterprise protocols Three additional premium packages offer new Cisco IOS Software feature combinations that address more complex network requirements. All features merge in the Advanced Enterprise Services package that integrates support for all routing protocols with Voice, Security, and VPN capabilities. Feature inheritance is another powerful aspect of Cisco IOS Packaging. After a feature is introduced, it is included in the more comprehensive packages. The feature inheritance facilitates migration by clarifying the feature content of the different packages and how they relate to each another. Cisco IOS Packaging also simplifies image naming. Each name is designed to effectively convey the high-level feature content of, and the inheritance characteristics for the new packages. These categories summarize the new naming convention: Base—entry level image (IP Base, Enterprise Base) Services—addition of IP Telephony Service, MPLS, Voice over IP (VoIP), Voice over Frame Relay (VoFR), and ATM (SP Services, Enterprise Services) Advanced—addition of VPN, Cisco IOS Firewall, 3DES encryption, SSH, Cisco IOS IPsec and Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) (Advanced Security, Advanced IP Services) Enterprise—addition of multi-protocols, including IBM, IPX, AppleTalk (Enterprise Base, Enterprise Services) These packages are new: IP Base IP Voice Enterprise Base Advanced Security SP Services Advanced IP Services Enterprise Services Advanced Enterprise Services Cisco IOS Packaging was introduced on Cisco access routers in May 2003, Cisco LAN switches in April 2005, and Cisco mid-range routers in July 2005. Refer to the Cisco IOS Packaging page for additional information about Cisco IOS Packaging. Cisco IOS XR Packaging The IOS XR equivalent of feature sets is called packages. Each package contains many features. Go to the Cisco IOS XR Software Selector (registered customers only) to determine the feature content of each package. Cisco IOS and IOS XR Images A Cisco IOS image is a binary executable file of a feature set for specific hardware. A Cisco IOS XR image is a tar or pie file, which contains a package or set of packages, respectively. Multiple images exist for Cisco IOS and Cisco IOS XR releases. The images represent supported hardware and feature set (IOS) or package (IOS XR) combinations. Image Naming The Cisco IOS software image name represents the hardware, feature set, format, and other information about the image file. Figure 7 shows the image name of a 12.4(6)T Release with the Enterprise Base feature set for the Cisco 3725. Figure 7—Example of a Cisco IOS Image Name Refer to the Image Naming Conventions section of Loading and Maintaining System Images for information about identifying the platform or board for which the binary software is built, the package feature content of the image, and the area of memory used by the image at run time. Figure 8 shows the image name of an IOS XR Release 3.2.4 with the IP/MPLS Core Software 3DES package for the CRS-1. Figure 8—Example of a Cisco IOS XR Image Name (TAR) Figure 9 shows the image name of an IOS XR Release 3.2.4 with the Cisco IOS/XR Diagnostics package for the CRS-1. The acronym hfr was an early name for the IOS XR. Figure 9—Example of a Cisco IOS XR Image Name (PIE) Images That Run on a Router The show version command displays the name of the Cisco IOS image (see Figure 10) or a Cisco IOS XR image (see Figure 11) that is running.
