System Requirements
This section describes the system requirements for Cisco IOS Release 12.2(11) YT2 and includes the following sections:
Memory Recommendations
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(11) YT2 supports the same feature sets as Cisco IOS Release 12.2, but Cisco IOS Release 12.2(11) YT2 can include new features supported by the Cisco 3600 series routers.
Caution Cisco IOS images with strong encryption (including, but not limited to, 168-bit Triple Data Encryption Standard [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 because of United States government regulations. When applicable, purchaser and 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 and Table 4 list the features and feature sets supported by the Cisco 3600 series routers in Cisco IOS Release 12.2(11) YT2 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, "12.2(11)YT" means a feature was introduced in Cisco IOS Release 12.2(11)YT. If a cell in this column is empty, the feature was included in the initial base release.
Note These release notes are not cumulative and list only features that are new to Cisco IOS Release 12.2(11) YT. The parent release for Cisco IOS Release 12.2(11) YT is Cisco IOS Release 12.2(11)T. For information about inherited features, refer to Cisco.com or Cisco Feature Navigator. For Cisco.com, go to http://www.cisco.com/univercd/home/index.htm, select the appropriate software release under Cisco IOS Software, and click Release Notes. If you have a Cisco.com login account, you can use the Cisco Feature Navigator tool at http://www.cisco.com/cgi-bin/Support/FeatureNav/FN.pl.
New and Changed Information
The following sections list the new hardware and software features supported by the Cisco 3600 series routers for Cisco IOS Release 12.2(11) YT2.
New Hardware and Software Features in Cisco IOS Release 12.2(11)YT2
No new hardware or software features are supported in Cisco IOS Release 12.2(11)YT2.
New Hardware Features in Cisco IOS Release 12.2(11)YT1
There are no new hardware features supported by the Cisco 3600 series routers for Cisco IOS Release 12.2(11)YT1.
New Software Features in Cisco IOS Release 12.2(11)YT1
The following new software features are supported by the Cisco 3600 series routers for Cisco IOS Release 12.2(11)YT1:
Cisco IOS Telephony Service V2.1 Updates
Cisco IOS Release 12.2(11)YT1 introduces improvements to phone rebooting commands and an updated script for the H.450 transfer and forward application.
After you update information for a phone that is associated with a Cisco IOS Telephony Service (ITS) router, the phone must be rebooted for the new information to take effect. In Cisco IOS Release 12.2(11)YT1, the reset command has been modified to allow the sequential reboot of the ITS phones. Using a sequential reboot minimizes the risk of conflict which can occur when multiple phones attempt to access changed ITS configuration information through TFTP. In addition, the restart command has been added to support quick phone rebooting for use when only the line and speed-dial configuration for a phone is changed.
The tool command language (TCL) script that controls H.450 applications has been updated in the current release and is named app-h450-transfer.2.0.0.2.tcl. You can continue to use the previous script, called app-h450-transfer.2.0.0.1.tcl, with Cisco IOS Release 12.2(11)YT1, but you cannot use the new app-h450-transfer.2.0.0.2.tcl script with a release of Cisco IOS software that is earlier than Cisco IOS Release 12.2(11)YT1.

http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/voice/c_ipphon/keyswtch/ft_its21.htm
New Hardware Features in Cisco IOS Release 12.2(11)YT
The following new hardware features are supported by the Cisco 3600 series routers for Cisco IOS Release 12.2(11)YT:
Clear Channel T3/E3 with Integrated CSU/DSU
Non-channelized (Clear Channel) T3/E3 service is delivered as a T3/E3 pipe with the bandwidth being 28x24x64k for T3 or 16x32x64k for E3. Clear Channel T3/E3 service is generally used in point-to-point applications (one customer sending data to one remote site). Any subdivision of bandwidth is performed at each customer site rather than at the central office.
Platforms supported: Cisco 3660.
For more information, refer to the document at the following URL:
http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/software/ios122/122newft/122limit/122y/122yt/122yt11/ft_te3nm.htm
Content Engine Network Module for Caching and Content Delivery
The Content Engine (CE) Network Module for Caching and Content Delivery offers the ability to integrate the features of Cisco Application and Content Networking System (ACNS) software into branch office platforms. The CE network module combines the Content Caching, Content Filtering and Content Delivery features of ACNS with robust branch office routing and is supported on Cisco 2600 series, Cisco 3600 series, and Cisco 3700 series routers. The network module requires the use of ACNS 4.2 software.
The CE network module can operate as a standalone cache or in an integrated enterprise content delivery network (E-CDN) environment. As one element of an E-CDN, the CE network module can be deployed with a combination of other content engines, content routers, content services switches, and content distribution managers to create a complete content delivery network system.
Platforms supported: Cisco 3640, Cisco 3640A, and Cisco 3660.
For more information, refer to the document at the following URL:
http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/software/ios122/122newft/122limit/122y/122yt/122yt11/ft_1cenm.htm
Gigabit Ethernet Network Module
The Gigabit Ethernet network module provides gigabit connectivity. The throughput of the interface depends on the platform. The network module has one GBIC slot to carry any standard copper or optical Cisco GBIC, including CWDM. The GE network module optimizes the performance for branch office customers by offering a high-speed uplink to both existing and new LAN or WAN environments. The extended reach of the provided fiber connectivity allows customers the option of interconnecting branch offices with Gigabit Ethernet and avoid expensive leased serial lines. Metro Area Service Providers now have additional options when connecting their customers in branch offices to MANs.
Platforms supported: Cisco 3660.
New Software Features in Cisco IOS Release 12.2(11)YT
The following new software features are supported by the Cisco 3600 series routers for Cisco IOS Release 12.2(11)YT:
SIP Call Transfer and Call Forwarding Supplementary Services
The SIP Call Transfer and Call Forwarding Supplementary Services feature introduces the ability of Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) gateways to initiate blind or attended call transfers. Release Link Trunking (RLT) functionality was also added with this feature. With RLT, SIP blind call transfers can now be triggered by Channel Associated Signaling (CAS) trunk signaling. Finally, the SIP Call Transfer and Call Forwarding Supplementary Services feature implements SIP support of call forwarding requests from a Cisco IOS gateway.
For more information, refer to the document at the following URL:
http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/software/ios122/122newft/122limit/122y/122yt/122yt11/ftsipcal.htm
Cisco IOS Telephony Service (ITS) Version 2.1
Cisco IOS Telephony Service (ITS) offers an entry-level IP Telephony solution integrated directly into Cisco IOS. Customers can now deploy Voice, Data, and IP Telephony on a single platform for their small offices. ITS offers a core set of phone features that customers commonly require for their everyday business needs and leverages the wide array of voice capabilities that are available in Cisco IOS to provide a very robust IP Telephony offering for the small office environment.
You must purchase a feature license to use Cisco IOS Telephony Service. You also need an account on Cisco.com to access the Cisco IP phone firmware versions.
ITS Version 2.1 supports the following new features:
•Additional languages: Italian, Spanish, German, and French.
•Supports new CCM (3.1 and later) phoneloads
•GUI customizing capability

V.92/V.44 Support for Digital Modems
The V.92 and V.44 standards provide consumers and teleworkers a "Broadband-lite" Internet experience at dialup prices. V.92 encompasses a number of specifications, including "Quick Connect," which dramatically improves how quickly users can connect with their ISP or a branch office, and "modem on hold," which enables users to suspend and reactivate their dialup connection to either receive or initiate a telephone call. V.44 technology provides a new standard for compressing data. When compared to V.42, throughput is increased 20 to 60 percent due to a new compression algorithm that is optimized for typical Web content.
Platforms supported: Cisco 3640, Cisco 3640A, and Cisco 3660.
