Determining the Software Version
To determine the version of Cisco IOS software running on your Cisco 3600 series, log in to the Cisco 3600 series and enter the show version EXEC command:
Router> show versionCisco Internetwork Operating System SoftwareIOS (tm) 12.2(2) XG1 Software c3640-i-mz, Version 12.2(2) XG1, RELEASE SOFTWAREUpgrading to a New Software Release
For general information about upgrading to a new software release, refer to Upgrading the Cisco IOS Software Release in Cisco Routers and Modems located at:
http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/130/upgrade_index.shtml
Feature Set Tables
The 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.
Cisco IOS Release 12.2(2) XG1 supports the same feature sets as Cisco IOS Release 12.2 T, but Cisco IOS Release 12.2(2) XG1 can include new features supported by the Cisco 3600 series.
Caution Cisco IOS images with strong encryption (including, but not limited to 168-bit (3DES) data encryption feature sets) are subject to U.S. 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 because of U.S. government regulations. When applicable, the 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 3 lists the features and feature sets supported by the Cisco 3640 router in Cisco IOS Release 12.2(2) XG1. Table 4 lists the features and feature sets supported by the Cisco 3660 routers in Cisco IOS Release 12.2(2) XG1 and uses the following conventions:
•Yes—The feature is supported in the software image.
•No—The feature is not supported in the software image.
•In—The number in the "In" column indicates the Cisco IOS release in which the feature was introduced. For example, (2)XG means a feature was introduced in 12.2(2) XG.
Note You can find the most current Cisco IOS documentation on Cisco.com. If you have a Cisco.com login account, you can find image and release information regarding features prior to Cisco IOS Release 12.2(2) T by using the Feature Navigator tool at http://www.cisco.com/go/fn.
New and Changed Information
The following sections list the new hardware and software features supported by the Cisco 3600 series for Release 12.2(2) XG1.
New Hardware and Software Features in Cisco IOS Release 12.2(2) XG1
There are no new hardware and software features supported by the Cisco 3600 series for Cisco IOS Release 12.2(2) XG1.
New Hardware Features in Cisco IOS Release 12.2(2) XG
The following new hardware feature is supported by the Cisco 3600 series for Cisco IOS Release 12.2(2) XG:
NM-AIC-64, Contact Closure Network Module
The AIC NM is an optional card that expands network management capabilities for customer-defined alarms. The AIC has its own CPU that communicates with the router and external media through serial communication channels. The AIC reduces service provider and enterprise operating costs by providing a flexible, low-cost network solution for migrating existing data communications networks (DCNs) to IP-based DCNs. The AIC provides its users with a single "box" solution because it can be configured in the same router along with other Operation, Alarm, Maintenance, and Provisioning (OAM&P) interfaces.
More than one AIC can be installed per router. For example, a Cisco 3662 can have up to five AICs, and its sixth NM slot can be used for router communication. The Cisco 3640 can have up to three AICs, with the fourth NM slot reserved for communication, and so forth.
The AIC provides a total of 64 alarm inputs. Eight of the 64 point are software configurable for measuring either analog inputs or discrete inputs. The remaining 56 points are fixed to measure discrete points only. The AIC also provides 16 control relay outputs.
The discrete alarm input can be activated through ground or negative battery input. The negative battery range is -36V to -72V. The analog alarm is software configurable for either DC voltage or current. It can measure voltage from -60 to 60V or current from 0 to 20mA, but the configurable range is 4 mA to 20mA. The standard 16 control relays can be configured to turn on or turn off an external device.
The AIC's 64 input contact points can control and monitor network elements and other non-intelligent interfaces, permitting the detection and report of alarms such as the following:
•Network element alarm states
•Building security (door and window open and close)
•Fire and smoke indication
•Building environmentals (temperature and humidity)
•Utility power readings
When an event occurs, such as a door alarm or an open gate, the AIC maps the simple discrete and analog alarms to pre programmed intelligent messages and transports the messages to destinations in the IP network, typically to a Network Operations Center (NOC). These messages are generated either in Transaction Language 1 (TL1) or in Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), which are used by a NOC's Operations Support System (OSS).
