Cisco Product Documentation: Access Servers and Access Routers: Modular Access Routers: Cisco 1700 Series Routers: <platform_name>Determining the Software Version
To determine the version of Cisco IOS software currently running on your Cisco 1700 series router, log in to the router and enter the show version EXEC command. The following sample output from the show version command indicates the version number on the second output line:
router> show version
Cisco Internetwork Operating System SoftwareIOS (tm) C1700 Software (C1700-Y-MZ), Version 12.2(8)YM1, EARLY DEPLOYMENT RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc1)Synched to technology version 12.2(5.4)TUpgrading to a New Software Release
For general information about upgrading to a new software release, see Software Installation and Upgrade Procedures 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. Release 12.2(8)YM1 supports the same feature sets as Releases 12.2 and 12.2(8)T, but Release 12.2(8)YM1 includes new features supported by the Cisco 1700 series routers.
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 can be denied or subject to delay due to United States 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 2 lists the features and feature sets supported in Cisco IOS Release 12.2(8)YM1.
The table 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, "12.2(8)YM" means the feature was introduced in 12.2(8)YM. If a cell in this column is empty, the feature was included in a previous release or the initial base release.
Note These feature set tables only contain a selected list of features, which are cumulative for Release 12.2(8)nn early deployment releases only (nn identifies each early deployment release). The tables do not list all features in each image—additional features are listed in the Cross-Platform Release Notes for Cisco IOS Release 12.2 T and Release 12.2 T Cisco IOS documentation.
New and Changed Information
The following sections list the new hardware and software features supported by the Cisco 1700 series routers for Release 12.2(8)YM1.
New Software Features in Release 12.2(8)YM
The following sections describe the new software features supported by the Cisco 1700 series routers for Release 12.2(8)YM.
For additional information on these features and their configurations, refer to Cisco IOS Telephony Feature Enhancements for Cisco IOS Release 12.2(8)YM at http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/software/ios122/122newft/122limit/122y/122ym/1228ym/its122ym.fm.
Live Feed Music on Hold (MoH)
This feature provides support for MoH from a live audio feed connected to the router by an analog voice port. A Foreign Exchange Office (FXO) analog voice port or Ear and Mouth (E&M) analog voice port on the router provides MoH to the ITS system. The router checks the connection every 30 seconds and re-establishes it if the MoH call is terminated. In addition, the music file in the flash memory provides redundancy if the live audio feed is disconected or discontinued.
Speed-Dial Directory
Local speed-dial is a new option on the Cisco IP Phone. For the local speed-dial option to be selected, a flash file named "speeddial.xml" is sent to a phone. In order for this feature to function, the "speeddial.xml" file must be in flash memory.
Top-Line Description
The top-line description is a software-generated label on the top black bar of the display on the Cisco 7960 or Cisco 7940 IP Phone. The top-line description can be labeled using a configuration command. Example of the label are "Cisco Systems" or "408-525-6000."
New Software Features in Release 12.2(8)T
For information regarding the features supported in Cisco IOS Release 12.2 T, refer to the Cross-Platform Release Notes and New Feature Documentation links at the following location on CCO:
http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/software/ios122/122relnt/xprn122t/index.htm

Service & Support: Technical Documents: Cisco IOS Software: Release 12.2: Release Notes: Cross-Platform Release Notes (Cisco IOS Release 12.2T)
Limitations
Live Feed MoH
Only one Live Feed MoH is supported per system.
Live feed MoH on an FXS voice port is not a realistic option.
Speed-Dial Directory Capacity
A maximum of 32 entries is allowed in the "speeddial.xml" file.
Important Notes
The following sections contain important notes about Cisco IOS Release 12.2(8)YM1 that can apply to the Cisco 1700 series routers. (Also, see the "Caveats" section.)
T1/E1 VWIC Support on Cisco 1751 and 1760 Routers
The Cisco 1751 and 1760 routers no longer need a voice image to support data applications on T1/E1 VWICs.
Fan Operation in Cisco 1700 Series Routers
Cisco 1760 and 1760-V router fans are always on, and Cisco 1710 routers do not contain a fan. However, the fans in Cisco 1720, 1721, 1750, and 1751 routers stay off until thermally activated.
Flash defaults to Flash:1 on Multipartition Flash
When using a multipartition flash card, the various flash partitions are referred to as "flash:1:", "flash:2:", etc. If you specify only "flash" in a multipartition flash, the parser assumes "flash:1:." For example, if you enter show flash all the parser defaults to "show flash:1: all" and only the flash information for the first partition displays. To see information for all flash partitions, enter show flash ?. This will list all of the valid partitions. Then enter show flash:xx: all on each valid partition.
Peak Cell Rate and Sustainable Cell Rate Values
On Cisco 1700 routers, specify the Peak Cell Rate (PCR) and Sustainable Cell Rate (SCR) as multiples of 32 Kbps. Other rates are treated as the next lower value of a multiple of 32. For example, an entered PCR value of 150 is considered 128.
Using the boot flash Command
Booting a Cisco 1700 series router with the commands boot flash or boot system flash results in unpredictable behavior. To work around this problem, be sure to enter a colon (:) following both commands (for example, boot flash: or boot system flash:).
Using Dialer Interface with MLPPPoATM
This feature is not supported on the Cisco 1700 series platforms. Please use the Virtual Template interface instead.
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, and severity 3 caveats are the least serious of these three severity levels.
Caveats in Release 12.2 T are also in Release 12.2(8)YM1. For information on caveats in Cisco IOS Release 12.2 T, refer to the Caveats for Cisco IOS Release 12.2 T document. For information on caveats in Cisco IOS Release 12.2, refer to the Caveats for Cisco IOS Release 12.2 document. These documents list severity 1 and 2 caveats, and are located on CCO and the Documentation CD.

Resolved Caveats - Release 12.2(8)YM1
Cisco IOS Release 12.2(8)YM1 is a rebuild release for Cisco IOS Release 12.2(8)YL. This section describes unexpected behavior that is fixed in Release 12.2(8)YM1.
Miscellaneous
CSCdz71127
Cisco routers and switches running Cisco IOS software and configured to process Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) packets are vulnerable to a Denial of Service (DoS) attack. A rare sequence of crafted IPv4 packets sent directly to the device may cause the input interface to stop processing traffic once the input queue is full. No authentication is required to process the inbound packet. Processing of IPv4 packets is enabled by default. Devices running only IP version 6 (IPv6) are not affected. A workaround is available.
Cisco has made software available, free of charge, to correct the problem.
