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)YJ1 supports the same feature sets as Releases 12.2(8)T, but Release 12.2(8)YJ1 can include new features supported by the Cisco 800 Series Routers.
Table 2 through Table 4 list the features and feature sets supported in Cisco IOS Release 12.2(8)YJ1:
•Table 2—Cisco 806 Series Routers
•Table 3—Cisco 826, Cisco 827, and Cisco 827-4V Routers
•Table 4—Cisco 827-4V Routers
The tables use 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)YJ" means the feature was introduced in 12.2(8)YJ. 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. These tables are not cumulative—nor do they list all the features in each image.

New and Changed Information
The following sections list the new hardware and software features supported by Release 12.2(8)YJ1 for the SOHO 70 Series Routers and the Cisco 800 Series Routers.
New Software Features in Release 12.2(8)YJ
The following sections list the new software features supported by Cisco IOS Release 12.2(8)YJ on the and the Cisco 800 Series Routers.
Easy VPN Client Phase II
Applications for routers (and other forms of broadband access devices) that provide high-performance connections to the Internet often require the security of virtual private network (VPN) connections with a high level of access authentication and the capability to encrypt data between two endpoints. However, establishing a VPN connection between two routers can be complex, and typically requires detailed coordination between network administrators to configure the router VPN parameters.
The Cisco Easy VPN client feature eliminates much of this work by implementing the Cisco Unity Client protocol, which allows most VPN parameters to be defined at a VPN 3000 concentrator, acting as an IPSec server. After network administrators configure the IPSec server, they can create a VPN connection with minimal configuration on an IPSec client (such as a Cisco 800 series router). Note that Cisco 800 series routers are supported as Easy VPN clients of VPN 3000 IPSec servers. When the IPSec client initiates the VPN tunnel connection, the IPSec server transmits the IPSec policies to the IPSec client and creates the corresponding VPN tunnel connection.
Note The Cisco Easy VPN client can establish communication with a single peer (IPSec server).
The Phase II implementation of the Cisco Easy VPN Client provides enhancements and additional capabilities to Phase I features. In Phase II, the Cisco Easy VPN Client can provide the following enhancements and feature capabilities:
•Manual Control of IPSec VPN tunnels—to establish and terminate the IPSec VPN tunnel on demand.
•Restore NAT Configuration when IPSec VPN Tunnel Is Down—automatically restores the NAT configuration when the IPSec VPN tunnel is disconnected.
•Peer Hostname Enhancement
For instructions on configuring Cisco Easy VPN client, refer to the publication Cisco Easy VPN Client Feature Phase II. This document is available on Cisco Connection Online.
Low Latency Queueing
Low Latency Queueing (LLQ) provides a low-latency, strict-priority transmit queue for voice over IP (VoIP) traffic. Strict priority queueing allows delay-sensitive data such as voice to be dequeued and sent first (before packets in other queues are dequeued), giving delay-sensitive data preferential treatment over other traffic. Refer to Software Enhancements for the Cisco 800 Routers and SOHO Routers for more information on this feature.

Important Notes
The following sections contain important notes about Cisco IOS Release 12.2(8)YJ1 that can apply to SOHO 70 and Cisco 800 series routers. (Also, see the "Caveats" section.)
Changing IP Addresses When Using the Cisco Easy VPN Client Feature
In Cisco 800 series routers, the Ethernet 0 LAN interface defaults to the primary IP address of 10.10.10.0 in a private network. If you need to change this IP address to match the local network configuration, you can use the command ip address or the Cisco Router Web Setup (CRWS) web interface.
Using the CRWS interface to change the IP address preserves the existing IP address as the primary address of the interface and assigns the new IP address as the secondary address on the interface. This CRWS interface functionality maintains (does not break) the existing connection between the PC web browser and the Cisco 800 series router and thereby does not interfere with normal router operations for most configurations.
Because of this behavior, the Cisco Easy VPN client feature assumes that if a secondary IP address exists on the Ethernet 0 interface, the secondary address should be used as the IP address for the inside interface for the NAT/PAT configuration. If no secondary address exists, the primary IP address will be used for the inside interface address, as is normally done on other platforms. If this behavior is not desired, use the ip address CLI command instead of the CRWS web interface to change the interface address.
Caveats
Caveats describe unexpected behavior 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 Cisco IOS Releases 12.2 and 12.2 T are also in Cisco IOS Release 12.2(8)YJ1. For information on caveats in Cisco IOS Release 12.2, see Caveats for Cisco IOS Release 12.2. For information on caveats in Cisco IOS Release 12.2 T, see Caveats for Cisco IOS Release 12.2 T. These two documents list severity 1 and 2 caveats and are located on CCO and the Documentation CD-ROM.
Note If you have an account with Cisco.com, you can also use the Bug Toolkit to find select caveats of any severity.

Another option is to go to http://www.cisco.com/cgi-bin/Support/Bugtool/launch_bugtool.pl.
Open Caveats-Release 12.2(8)YJ1
This section describes unexpected behavior in Release 12.2(8)YJ1.
CSCin11017
When acting as a PPPoE client, the Cisco 806 router a crashes after the DDR idle timeout expires. This problem might be seen only in lab scenarios.
CSCin11192
Dial on Demand Routing (DDR) is triggered by traffic that enters the Cisco 806 router from the WAN interface.Generally, one expects DDR to be triggered only by traffic that enters the router from the LAN interface.
Workaround: Access lists can be configured to block traffic on the WAN interface.
CSCin11465
If the access list at the remote end of a split tunnel is configured to have two entries with the same source address, an Easy VPN client, such as a Cisco 806 router, will try to install the same address twice and will alter the NAT configuration in such a way that NAT translation will not work correctly. This is normal behavior. However, NAT translation seems to work correctly on Cisco 806 routers operating in this type of split tunnel environment.
CSCin11727
With Point-to-Point Protocol over ATM encapsulation, when the permanent virtual circuit (PVC) is removed and configured again, the virtual access interface doesn't come up causing the ping between the UUT and the remote to fail.
Workaround: Save the configuration before you remove the PVC, and reload the router if this problem occurs.
CSCin12124
The HTTP probe does not show the default values.
CSCdw37744
The firewall audit trail test for the trivial file tranfer protocol (tftp) fails.
CSCin08502
tftp fails with NAT overload configured when the unit under test listens for tftp traffic on a non-standard port.
CSCin08629
The rttMonEchoAdminCache variable does not show the correct default value.
CSCin09771
The rttMonApplSupportedRttTypesValid.10 is not supported.
CSCin12882
The udpLocalAddress and udpLocalPort objects of the UDP MIB are not populated.
Resolved Caveats- Release 12.2(8)YJ
This section describes unexpected behavior that is fixed in Release 12.2(8)YJ.
CSCin10864
The Easy VPN 806 client crashes when unconfiguring the Dialer interface. This problem has been fixed in this release.
CSCin12086
The router crashes while reconfiguring service policy on the Dialer interface. This problem has been fixed in this release.
CSCin10852
The running configuration does not show if the maximum ssh timeout value is configured. This problem has been fixed in this release.
CSCin11722
The router crashes while configuring PPP encapsulation on the dialer interface. This problem has been fixed in this release.
CSCdw37744
The firewall audit trail test for tftp fails. This problem has been fixed in this release.
Open Caveats- Release 12.2(8)YJ
CSCin08629
The rttMonEchoAdminCache variable doe not show.
CSCin08637
The rttMonEchoAdminPktDataRequestSize shows.
CSCin08536
The DNS probe fails due to a timeout occuring when the domain name is being resolved.
CSCin08549
The rttMonCtrlAdminTimeout value does not show.
CSCin08502
tftp fails with NAT overload when uut listens tftp on a non-standard port.
CSCin12124
The http probe does not show the default values.
CSCin12023
The Cisco 827 router crashes at vtemplate_nvgen while configuring ip add on virtual-t.
