For Cisco IOS Upgrade Ordering Instructions, see:
http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/cc/pd/iosw/prodlit/957_pp.htm
To choose a new Cisco IOS software release by comparing feature support or memory requirements, use Cisco Feature Navigator. Cisco Feature Navigator is a web-based tool that enables you to determine which Cisco IOS and Catalyst OS software images support a specific set of features and which features are supported in a specific Cisco IOS image. You can search by feature or by feature set (software image). Under the release section, you can compare Cisco IOS software releases side by side to display both the features unique to each software release and the features that the releases have in common.
Cisco Feature Navigator is updated regularly when major Cisco IOS software releases and technology releases occur. For the most current information, go to the Cisco Feature Navigator home page at the following URL:
To choose a new Cisco IOS software release based on information about defects that affect that software, use the Bug Toolkit at:
http://www.cisco.com/cgi-bin/Support/Bugtool/launch_bugtool.pl.
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 12.4(4)XC4 supports the same feature sets as Releases 12.4 and 12.4(4)T. Cisco IOS Release 12.4(4)XC4 is a rebuild of Release 12.4(4)XC and includes only bug fixes, it does not include any new features.
Caution Cisco IOS images with strong encryption (including, but not limited to, 168-bit Triple DataEncryption 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. Contact your sales representative or distributor for more information, or send an e-mail to export@cisco.com.

New and Changed Information
New Hardware Features
New Hardware Features in Cisco IOS Release 12.4(4)XC
The following new hardware feature is supported by the Cisco AS5350XM and Cisco AS5400XM universal gateways for Cisco IOS Release 12.4(4)XC:
High-Density Packet Voice Feature Card
The high-density packet voice feature card for Cisco AS5350XM and Cisco AS5400XM universal gateways (product number AS5X-FC) supports up to six high-density packet voice/fax digital signal processor (DSP) modules (product number AS5X-PVDM2-64), providing scalability from 64 to 384 channels. The high-density packet voice feature card for Cisco AS5350XM and Cisco AS5400XM universal gateways with one to six PVDM2-64 modules can be grouped in various combinations to provide the correct number of DSPs depending on the codec type needed and the Cisco AS5350XM or Cisco AS5400XM trunk configuration.
These Cisco AS5X-PVDM2-64 DSP modules feature the latest DSP technology and provide complete flexibility in channel allocation per DSP to achieve highest possible densities.
You can select the minimum number and density-type PVDM2s depending on the voice channels currently needed, and then add more PVDMs as requirements expand. The AS5X-FC supports T1/E1 and CT3 configurations.
The AS5X-FC voice feature card features:
•Port densities on the AS5X-FC voice feature card depend on codec complexity:
–Low complexity: Up to 384 G.711 ports
–Medium complexity: Up to 192 G.726, G.729a, G.729ab, Fax Relay ports
–High complexity: Up to 144 G.729, G.729b, G.723.1, GSMAMR-NB ports (AMR-NB supports a packetization period of 20 ms only)
•Support for packetization periods for all codecs: 10 ms to 30 ms with configurable increments of the minimum defined by the codec or 5 ms, whichever is greater.
•Support for H.323, MGCP, and SIP call control protocols.
•The AS5X-FC voice feature cards are hot-swappable (OIR) and replaceable.
•PVDM2 SIMM is field-replaceable.
•Software-configurable G.168-compliant echo cancellation for tail circuits up to 64 milliseconds.
•VAD, comfort noise generation, adaptive jitter buffering, and caller ID.
•AMR-NB calls are brought up with the common modes from the mode-set of both endpoints.
Note You must buy a license to access the DSPWare that supports the AMR-NB codec. We recommend that you purchase a Cisco SMARTnet contract in order to streamline the process of getting the AMR-NB codec DSPWare. When obtaining your license, use the following part number:
•FR535XM-AMR-LIC for the Cisco AS5350XM or Cisco AS5400XM.

New Software Features in Release 12.4(4)XC
The following new software feature is supported by the Cisco AS5350XM and Cisco AS5400XM universal gateways for Cisco IOS Release 12.4(4)XC:
AMR-NB Codec
Adaptive MultiRate-Narrow Band (AMR-NB) codec is a highly complex multimode codec that supports eight narrow-band speech encoding modes with bit rates between 4.75 and 12.2 kbps. AMR-NB is designed to preserve high speech quality under a wide-range of transmission conditions. Unlike other codecs, AMR-NB readily adapts to different bit rates based on channel conditions during a call.
The AMR-NB codec was originally developed and standardized by the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) for Gropue Speciale Mobile (GSM) cellular systems and chosen by the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) as the mandatory codec for third generation (3G) cellular systems.
How the AMR-NB Codec Works
The multirate encoding (or multimode) capability of AMR-NB is designed for preserving high speech quality under a wide range of transmission conditions. Unlike other codecs, the AMR-NB codec can adapt to different bit rates (see Table 6) based on channel conditions during the call.

1 Used for Silence Indication Detection(SID) frames.
To perform mode adaptation, the decoder (speech receiver) sends a signal to the encoder (speech sender) to indicate which new mode it prefers. This mode-change signal is called codec mode request (CMR). Because speech is sent in both directions between the two ends in most sessions, the mode requests from the decoder at one end to the encoder at the other end are sent in a piggyback form over the speech frames in the reverse direction; there is no out-of-band signaling needed for sending CMRs. The Cisco AS5350XM and Cisco AS5400XM cannot initiate CMRs, but received CMRs can be processed. For more information about AMR-NB codecs, see RFC 3267.

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/12_4t/12_4t15/it_amrnb.html
H.323 VoIP Call Preservation Enhancements for WAN Link Failures
H.323 VoIP call preservation enhancements for WAN link failures sustain connectivity for H.323 topologies where signaling is handled by an entity that is different from the other endpoint, such as a gatekeeper that provides routed signaling or a call agent, such as the Cisco BTS 10200 Softswitch, Cisco PGW 2200, or Cisco Unified CallManager, that brokers signaling between the two connected parties.
Call preservation is useful when a gateway and the other endpoint (typically a Cisco Unified IP phone) are collocated at the same site and the call agent is remote and therefore more likely to experience connectivity failures.
Configuration information for the H.323 VoIP Call Preservation Enhancements for WAN Link Failures feature is included in the "Configuring H.323 Gateways" chapter in the Cisco IOS H.323 Configuration Guide, Release 12.4T at the following URL:
http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/voice/srst/srst40/srst40ad/srs_call.htm#wp1014888
Software Features Ported from Other Platforms in Release 12.4(4)XC
The following features have been previously released on other Cisco access servers and high availability platforms. Therefore the individual platform name may not be referenced for the universal gateways. Other differences may exist for the various platforms that are documented.
Note The features listed in this section are available only when using the AS5X-FC voice feature card.
Modem Relay
Modem relay demodulates a modem signal at one voice gateway and passes it as packet data to another voice gateway where the signal is remodulated and sent to a receiving modem. On detection of the modem answer tone, the gateways switch into modem passthrough mode and then, if the call menu (CM) signal is detected, the two gateways switch into modem relay mode.
For more information about this feature, see the following URL:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/12_4t/12_4t4/mdmrly.html
Text over IP
Cisco Text Relay implements a mechanism for transporting Text Telephone (TTY) signals over Voice over IP (VoIP) calls in a highly reliable way. Cisco Text Relay transports both TTY text characters and voice over the same channel, supporting both Voice Carry Over (VCC) and Hearing Carry Over (HCO).
Cisco Text Relay is gateway controlled, enabling it to work independently from the call agent. It can be configured on supported gateways for the SIP, H.323, and MGCP.
Cisco Fax Relay
Cisco fax relay is the default mode for passing faxes through a VoIP network, and Cisco fax relay is the default fax relay type on Cisco voice gateways. Cisco fax relay uses Real-Time Transport Protocol (RTP) to transport the fax data.
For more information about this feature, see the following URL:
Warm Reload
The warm reload feature allows users to reload without reading images from storage. That is, the Cisco IOS image reboots without ROM monitor mode (ROMMON) intervention by restoring the read-write data from a previously saved copy in the RAM and by starting execution without either copying the image from flash to RAM or self-decompression of the image. Thus, the overall availability of your system improves because the time to reboot is significantly reduced.
For more information about this feature, see the following URL:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/fundamentals/configuration/guide/warm_reload_ps6441_TSD_Products_Configuration_Guide_Chapter.htmll
Warm Upgrade
The warm upgrade feature provides the capability for a Cisco IOS image to read and decompress another Cisco IOS image and then transfer control to this new image. This functionality reduces the downtime of a device during planned Cisco IOS software upgrades or downgrades.
For more information about this feature, see the following URL:
SRTP with H.323
Secure Real-Time Transport (SRTP) mode provides secure Voice over IP (VoIP) calls by addressing security requirements for privacy, integrity, and confidentiality of voice conversations. IPsec, a standards-based set of security protocols and algorithms, ensures that signaling information that is sent between the gateway and Cisco Unified CallManager are encrypted. Media encryption using standards-based SRTP ensures that media streams between supported devices are secure.
For more information about this feature, see the following URL:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/pgw/9/feature/module/9.8_1_/SRTP.html
DSP Voice Quality Statistics
The Cisco AS5350XM and Cisco AS5400XM universal gateways support the Digital Signal Processor (DSP) voice quality statistics in Media Gateway Control Protocol (MGCP) calls using Delete Connection (DLCX) messages.
For more information about this feature, see the following URL: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/12_3t/12_3t7/feature/guide/gtdspsts.html
Fax-Relay Support for SG3 Fax Machines
This feature allows Super Group 3 (SG3) fax machines to interoperate over T.38 fax-relay or Cisco fax-relay networks. The capability to interoperate over fax-relay networks is achieved by enabling SG3 fax machines to negotiate down to G3 speeds by suppressing the SG3 V.8 fax call menu (CM) signal. The suppression of the SG3 V.8 fax CM signal (or message) is also known as SG3 spoofing.
For more information about this feature, see the following URL:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/12_4t/12_4t4/sg3spoof.html

Conditions During configuration of the dspfarm profile through the CLI, a description that is 128 characters will cause a memory copy problem. If the user tries to display the results of the configuration using "show dspfarm profile", the router will crash trying to display the output.
Workaround To prevent this problem configure the dspfarm profile description with 127 characters or less.
CSCse05736 A router running RCP can be reloaded with a specific packetSymptom A router that is running RCP can be reloaded by a specific packet.
Conditions This symptom is seen under the following conditions
–The router must have RCP enabled.
–The packet must come from the source address of the designated system configured to send RCP packets to the router.
–The packet must have a specific data content.
Workaround Put access lists on the edge of your network blocking RCP packets to prevent spoofed RSH packets. Use another protocol such as SCP. Use VTY ACLs.

CSCek48162: TDM cross connects before last call disconnect and assertionsSymptom Under heavy stress few tdm assertion failures are seen
Conditions :This is seen with SS7 with more than 50 calls per second.
Workaround : There is no workaround
CSCek51075: Assertion failures at tdm_local_endpoints_connect CSCek61570 Trunk dn stuck in seize/seize state and does not recover.Symptom Few assertions may be seen during bootup and for the first set of calls. This does not have any effect on the system.
Conditions : This may happen in a situation when the calls are cleared as the system goes for a rommon.
Workaround : There is no workaround
CSCsb25337:Unnecessary tcp ports opened in default router config Cisco devices running IOS that support voice and are not configured for Session Initiated Protocol (SIP), are vulnerable to a crash. However, these devices are isolated to traffic destined to User Datagram Protocol (UDP) 5060. Devices which are properly configured for SIP processing are not vulnerable to this issue.Workaround : See the advisory posted at: http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/707/cisco-sa-20070131-sip.shtml
CSCsc72722: CBAC-firewall resets TCP idle timer upon receiving invalid TCP packetsSymptom TCP connections that are opened through a Cisco IOS Firewall (CBAC) may not timeout.
Conditions : With Cisco IOS Firewall (CBAC) enabled, the TCP idle timer for a session may be reset even by TCP packets that fail TCP inspection and are subsequently dropped. This could lead to the TCP session not timing out.
Workaround : There is no workaround.
CSCsd91454: One way voice traffic due to incorrect IPHC(UDP) Di0: CS 1 IPCRCSymptom Voice traffic is dropped in one direction due to IPHC IPCRC error.
Conditions :The problem is found some time after the voice call has been established. When the problem is occurring, the logs show IPHC error messages.
Workaround : Use process switching
CSCsd92405: Router crashes on receipt of repeated SSL connection with malformed finished messageSymptom A router crashes when receiving multiple malformed TLS and/or SSL3 finished messages. A valid user name and password are not required for the crash to occur.
Conditions : This symptom is observed when a router has HTTP secure server enabled and has an open, unprotected HTTP port.
Workaround : There is no workaround, however, user can minimize the chances of the symptom occurring by permitting only legitimate hosts to access HTTP on the router.
CSCse58397: ISDN BRI Dialer Interface is always in up stateSymptom ISDN B channels are in UP state
Conditions :After reload and after shut/no shut
Workaround : There is no workaround
CSCsf28515: Crashes at mars_default_port_dsp_connectSymptom Router crashes at mars_default_port_dsp_connect after call passes through the digital voice-port.
Workaround : There is no workaround
CSCsf28711: 5850 reloads unexpectedly on making a single call CSCsf28840 crash due to configured peer type control vectorSymptom Active eRSC reloads with traceback when first (PRI/SS7)call is made.
Conditions : This issue is seen when 5850tb is working with 12.4(10.5)PI5 image. Gateway come up with this image, when first (PRI/SS7) call is made the active eRSC reloads unexpectedly with traceback. This reload is seen for both H323 and SIP calls. Similar issue is seen in 5400 when MGCP-SIP call is made.
Workaround :There is no workaround
CSCsg16908: IOS FTP Server DeprecationCSCsg46546: Erroneous alerting during pickup with CSCek58324. Call focus is wrong after picking up a trunk dnSymptom After an attempt to pick up an onhold trunk dn, the call display on the ephone which puts this DN to onhold is messed up. The call can not be picked up successfully by other phone and it becomes the focus one on the phone. The connected trunk dn can not be displayed and other incoming call can not be put on hold.
Conditions : There are two incoming trunk DN calls. The 1st one is answered and then the 2nd one. The 1st one is put onhold automatically when the 2nd one is answered. After the other phone attempts to pick up the 1st call, the pickup fails and the 1st call becomes the focus one on the phone. The softkey is displayed incorrectly.
Workaround : Press the line button to resume the call onhold instead of picking it up from pickup button or fac dialing. However, this workaround can not be applied to a phone which does not have the trunk DN configured.
CSCsg47834: NACK is observed for Open Voice Channel commandSymptom NACK message may be received from 5510 DSP in response to Open Voice Channel command sent by the Cisco IOS software.
Conditions : This problem may be observed when a same 5510 DSP is used as a Trans coding and Voice Termination resource.
Workaround : 1) Disable Trans coding (or)
2) Make sure that the Trans coding and Voice Termination are on different DSP(s). This can be performed by configuring the maximum number of trans coding sessions to a value such that it would require a multiple of 240 DSP credits. Example 1:
In the following configuration each trans coding session (complexity=high) will require 40 DSP credits. In order to use a multiple of 240 credits, we need to set the maximum trans coding sessions to 6 (6 * 40 = 240) or any multiple of 6.dspfarm profile 1 trans codecodec g711ulawcodec g729r8associate application SCCPRouter(conf-t)#dspfarm profile 1 transcodeRouter(config-dspfarm-profile)#maximum sessions 6Example 2:
In the following configuration each transcoding session (complexity=medium) will require 30 DSP credits. In order to use a multiple of 240 credits, we need to set the maximum trans coding sessions to 8 (8 * 30 = 240) or any multiple of 8.dspfarm profile 2 trans codecodec g711ulawcodec g711alawcodec g729ar8codec g729abr8associate application SCCPRouter(conf-t)#dspfarm profile 2 transcodeRouter(config-dspfarm-profile)#maximum sessions 8Use "show voice dsp group all" command to verify DSP resource allocation.
Note Each 5510 DSP has 240 Credits. This work-around cannot be implemented if the router has only one PVDM2-16 which has only one DSP.
CSCsg59037: 851/871 cannot upgrade rommon from IOSSymptom Cisco 851 and 871 routers have no way to remotely upgrade the ROMMON firmware image.
Conditions : Cisco IOS versions for the Cisco 851 and 871 routers did not provide a mechanism to remotely upgrade the ROMMON firmware image.
Workaround : Cisco IOS Release 12.4(11)T1 for the Cisco 851 and 871 router introduces the command upgrade rom-monitor file which allows the ROMMON firmware image to be remotely upgraded. See this link for more information:

CSCsg66096: Privacy ON: call onhold can be intercepted by directed pickup operationCSCsg66846: TNP phones opening new call when selecting shared transferring lineCSCsg68199: Trunk DN offhook is not propagated to a phone already in dial out modeSymptom Two IP Phones A and B are registered with Cisco CallManager Express; these phones share two trunk DNs 1 & 2. If Phone-A goes offhook on DN-1 and Phone-B immediately goes offhook on DN-2. This condition should show the DN-2 button on Phone-A as busy which is not happening.
Conditions :This happens only when trunk DNs are used and the they go offhook in quick succession on different phones and are in dialing mode.
Workaround : There is no workaround
CSCsg68711: Incoming call in background does not ring after transfer commitSymptom Phone does not ring for the second incoming call after committing transfer at alert for the first call.
Conditions : While transferring a trunk DN call, a call comes in. After committing the transfer at alert, the incoming call still does not ring on the phone.
Workaround : There is no workaround.
CSCsg70221: DTMF through the hairpin of a trunk DN does not workSymptom DTMF tones are being suppressed to prevent duplicate DTMF tones from being extended to an SCCP controlled VG224 port. This problem is a direct result of a fix implemented for correct CSCsf98754. The lack of DTMF prevents IVR devices from working correctly.
Conditions : PSTN -- FXO --- CME GATEWAY --- VG224/FXS --- IVR A call comes into a FXO port that is part of a trunk group and gets transferred to an extension that is hanging off of a VG224. DTMF is not relayed to the end point
Workaround : Setting the transfer system to full blind will prevent the DTMF blocking.
CSCsg70355: New default day light savings summer-time rules from Energy Policy Act of 2005 may cause Cisco IOS to generate timestamps that are off by one hourSymptom Starting in the calendar year 2007, daylight savings summer-time rules may cause Cisco IOS to generate timestamps (such as in syslog messages) that are off by one hour.
Conditions : The Cisco IOS configuration command: clock summer-time zone recurring uses United States standards for daylight savings time rules by default. The Energy Policy Act of 2005 (H.R.6.ENR), Section 110 changes the start date from the first Sunday of April to the second Sunday of March. It changes the end date from the last Sunday of October to the first Sunday of November.
Workaround : A workaround is possible by using the clock summer-time configuration command to manually configure the proper start date and end date for daylight savings time. For example: After the summer-time period for the calendar year 2006 is over, one can configure:
clock summer-time PDT
recurring 2 Sun Mar 2:00 1 Sun Nov 2:00 (This example is for the US/Pacific time zone.)
CSCsg75035: Async Interface not showing up in the IfIndex from a remote NMS machineSymptom The interface is indexed on the router but the snmpwalk/snmpget keywords do not seem to return the value when the sh snmp mib ifmib ifindex command is used.
Conditions This happens when loading a 3825 running 3825-adventerprisek9-mz.124-4.XC5.bin
Workaround There is no workaround

Conditions The problem is observed when after-hours call blocking is enabled.
Workaround There is no workaround.
CSCek58324 Call focus is wrong after picking up a trunk dnSymptom The call display does not work correctly when attempting to pick up an onhold trunk DN. The call cannot be picked up successfully by any other phone and it becomes the focus one on the single phone. The connected trunk DN cannot be displayed and other incoming calls cannot be put on hold.
Conditions There are two incoming trunk DN calls. The first one is answered and then the second one. The first one is put onhold automatically when the second one is answered. After the other phone attempts to pick up the first call, the pickup fails and the first call becomes the focus on the single phone. The softkey is displayed incorrectly.

Workaround There is no workaround.
CSCse83674 FXS port cannot be recovered when offhook with howler tone at end of callSymptom Analog FXS port on a Cisco 2800/3800 ISR does not go back to idle if it has been offhook for more than a minute at the end of a call.
Conditions A and B are two FXS ports on the same router connected to analog phones. A calls B. B answers the call. Once the conversation is done, A hangs up. B does not go onhook. After 60 seconds, B starts hearing offhook alert (howler) tone. Putting B onhook now has no effect. B continues to play offhook alert for the rest of its life until the router is reloaded.
Workaround There is no workaround.
CSCse87446 Extension assigner defaults provision-tags to 0Symptom Extension assigner will chose wrong extension if the provision-tag input is zero.
Workaround Use the ephone-tag.
CSCsf02737 Memory Corruption Crash at chunk_free_callerSymptom A Cisco 3825 running Cisco IOS 12.4-9.T crashed. The decoded tracebacks is as follows:
abortcrashdumpchunk_free_callerfree_lite_internal__freefreeskinny_send_msg_internalskinny_server_processr4k_process_dispatchConditions This seems similar to CSCsb80447.
Workaround Configuring no memory lite seems to alleviate the crashes.
CSCsf07990 CME Dynamic Hunt-Group Login failsSymptom Ephone-1 has extension 88, which is also added as a monitor line on a 7914. The Ephone-2, which is connected to the 7914 is in DND state. Now when you try to login to a hunt-group on ephone-1, it fails because the ephone with the monitor lines is in DND state.
Aug 14 08:36:07: SkinnyHGJoinByDn: dn(88), join_code(80), join(1)Aug 14 08:36:07: Cannot join 88 to hunt group list with dnd on.Aug 14 08:36:07: ephone-1[13]:SkinnyHGJoinByPhone phone-[7] join 80 failed.Workaround Ephone with the Cisco IP Phone 7914 should not be in DND state.
CSCsf21007 Ephone hunt-group does NOT present calls to monitored DNsSymptom When an ephone hunt-group is configured with present-call idle-phone, the ephone hunt-group skips over certain members of the hunt group.
Conditions The problem is observed when members of the ephone hunt-group are monitored.
Workaround Do not monitor the members of the hunt-group.
CSCsf21458 SRST Reuses sockets causing phones unregisterSymptom Registered ephones in SRST mode may unregister and then re register
Conditions This happens when the phone requests for a socket that has already been used by another ephone.
Workaround There is no workaround.
CSCsf98754 Inband DTMF should be squelched for calls from POTS to SkinnySymptom The following scenario is seen:
PSTN === Analog or T1 CAS FXO === CME ------ VG224 ---- Phone or IVRThe analog ports on the Cisco VG224 are SCCP controlled by Cisco CME.
For a call between PSTN and a Cisco VG224 port (or an IP Phone), the DTMF detection is turned ON on the FXO port. Along with this, the DSP channel associated with the FXO port is programmed to pass through the DTMF tone in the RTP path instead of suppressing it.
The above manifests into a double DTMF digit scenario and is very well pronounced when the Cisco VG224 port is connected to an IVR system looking for digits. For the endpoints controlled by Cisco CME via SCCP, the DTMF relay happens through out of band SCCP messages. Since the original DTMF digit coming from PSTN is not suppressed, we see two digits reaching the IVR system - one from the SCCP message from Cisco CME to the Cisco VG224 port and the second one embedded in the RTP path.
Conditions A simple way to reproduce this problem is as follows:
Phone----FXS=CME----- IP Phone or VG224Make a call from phone on the left to a CME controlled endpoint. Press a digit button on the left phone and hold it for a long time. The user on the CME controlled endpoint on the right can hear: digit beep, silence and continuous digit beep. If the squelching flag was set on the FXS DSP channel, the user would have heard digit beep, silence and back to voice path.
Workaround There is no workaround.
CSCsf99737 SRST Locale fail over soft keys still display EnglishSymptom SRST fails over from Cisco Unified CallManager still displays English languages in softkey regardless of the languages that is configured in Cisco Unified CallManager.
Workaround There is no workaround.
Open Caveats - Cisco IOS Release 12.4(4)XC5
There are no known open caveats in this release.
Resolved Caveats - Cisco IOS Release 12.4(4)XC4
•CSCse68355
Multiple voice-related vulnerabilities are identified in Cisco IOS software, one of which is also shared with Cisco Unified Communications Manager. These vulnerabilities pertain to the following protocols or features:
–Session Initiation Protocol (SIP)
–Media Gateway Control Protocol (MGCP)
–Signaling protocols H.323, H.254
–Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP)
–Facsimile reception
Cisco has made free software available to address these vulnerabilities for affected customers. Fixed Cisco IOS software listed in the Software Versions and Fixes section contains fixes for all vulnerabilities mentioned in this advisory.
There are no workarounds available to mitigate the effects of any of the vulnerabilities apart from disabling the protocol or feature itself.
This advisory is posted at http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/707/cisco-sa-20070808-IOS-voice.shtml
CSCsc74783Symptom Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) signatures that require inspection of TCP flows below port 550 may not be triggered on a Cisco IOS IPS device.
Conditions This symptom is observed on a Cisco IOS router that is configured for IPS functionality.
Workaround Apply CBAC (Context Based Access Control) in addition to IPS.
Further Information: On a Cisco IOS router with IPS (Intrusion Prevention System) enabled, all TCP flows should be subject to TCP stateful inspection until the TCP 3-way handshake is complete. This does not work for TCP sessions with a destination port that is less than 550, if it does not match a predefined signature on the router.
CSCek47681 Backplane TDM loss and assertion failuresSymptom Under heavy stress, time division backplane timeslots may be lost over time.
Conditions The symptom occurs with SS7 and more than 50 calls per second.
Workaround There is no workaround.
CSCse06975 Traceback at pak_copy_contiguous_to_contiguous when testing multicastSymptom The VoIP LMR multicast does not function properly with E&M on the NM-HD-2V network module.
Workaround There is no workaround.
CSCse16973 show controller call-counters displays negative valuesSymptom The show controller t1 call-counters command displays negative values for the DSO Active counter.
Conditions The symptom occurs on the Cisco AS5400XM platform for both voice and data calls.
Workaround There is no workaround.
CSCse18940 Memory depletes when VoAAL2 traffic is passed.Workaround There is no workaround.
CSCse27845 One way voice after ringing pickup of transferred at-alert callSymptom The called party may not be able to hear the caller.
Conditions Phones A, B, and C are controlled by the same CME. A calls B. B does an at-alert transfer to C. While C is ringing, B does a ringing pickup on C's extension. One-way voice results with B being unable to hear A.
Workaround There is no workaround.
CSCse47728 Path confirmation failures are observed with VoATMSymptom Path confirmation failures seen with Voice over ATM traffic.
Conditions This is seen with only with VoAAL2 traffic.
Workaround There is no workaround.
CSCse50167 Speed dial line buttons disappear from CME phones after the router reloads.Conditions The speed dials are configured using an ephone template, which is then applied to the affected phone.
Workaround Remove and re-apply the ephone template after the router reloads.
CSCse56129 Cisco VG224 erroneously triggers hookflash during CME call pickup interactionSymptom On the Cisco VG224, a voice port registered to CallManager Express running. 12.4(4)XC may falsely detect a hookflash in the call pickup case.
Conditions During call pickup, the CME sends an onhook signal to the VG224 port, presents a new call and immediately instructs the port to move to connected state. During these quick steps, the voice port on the VG224 is erroneously reporting a hookflash.
Workaround Configure no supervisory disconnect lcfo on the Cisco VG224 voice port to avoid the false hookflash detection in the CME call pickup case.
CSCse56660 Inbound calls to fxo port fail (no audio) when caller-id enabledSymptom Inbound calls to Foreign Exchange Office (FXO) ports on Cisco IOS VoIP gateways connect, but audio is not present.
Conditions With caller-id enable configured on FXO ports, the call will connect, but no audio is heard. When this occurs, the following error message can be seen at debug level:
Jun 20 01:41:15.855: mbrd_e1t1_vic_connect: setup failedJun 20 01:41:15.855: flex_dsprm_tdm_xconn: voice-port(0/0/1), dsp_channel(/0/2/0)Workaround Disable caller-id on the voice port.
CSCse59347 CME/SRST IP phone unregister does not down the virtual pots peersSymptom Using SRST 4.0 with Cisco Unified CallManager Express, calls may fail with a "user busy" signal.
Conditions When the IP phone must unregister/fall back to the Cisco Unified CallManager, the virtual POTS dial-peers do not disconnect and calls fail with user busy rather than being sent via the H.323 dial-peer to the Cisco Unified CallManager.
Workaround There is no workaround.
CSCse69235 871 XC - S&K interface forwarding results in hung interfaceSymptom VLAN interfaces on Cisco 870 series routers may cease to function under heavy loads.
Conditions If the 802.1x feature is configured as a layer 3 transport in 12.4(4)XC images and continuous, heavy, and unauthenticated traffic is received on a virtual interface, the router may stop responding.
Workaround There is no workaround.
CSCse70333 CFwdAll erroneously reconfigured after disabling night serviceSymptom CFwdAll incorrectly appears after night service is disabled.
Conditions CFwdAll was initially configured using softkey, and unconfigured through the CLI. On the same DN as CFwdAll was on, night service is enabled and disabled.
Workaround Remove CFwdAll via softkey or reload the router.
CSCsc42589 Reset msg to TAPI client when phone reset restart by CME.CSCsc72502 The TAPI client may not show the call lines in ringing or connected state for the controlled ephone.Conditions If the TAPI client registers to the CME while its controlled ephone has some connected or ringing lines, it would not show their status. It would show them all in IDLE state. This problem occurs in any CME releases.
Workaround There is no workaround.
CSCse06975 Traceback at pak_copy_contiguous_to_contiguous when testing multicastSymptom VoIP LMR multicast capability does not work on network module NM-HD-2V with E&M.
Workaround There is no work around.
CSCse15025 Intermittent analog/cas voice port lockup or robotic voiceSymptom An analog or digital CAS port enters a state in which inbound or outbound calls, or both, may no longer function through the port.
Conditions This symptom is observed on a Cisco 2800 series and Cisco 3800 series that function as gateways with analog or digital CAS ports that use PVDM2 DSP modules.
When this problem occurs, it impacts multiple ports that share the same signaling DSP. The output of the show voice dsp signaling EXEC command shows which DSP is used by a port for signaling. The symptom may occur more often for ports that use DSP 1 on the PVDM2 module for signaling.
Because this issue impacts the signaling channels, it has been seen that calls either will not connect at all through impacted ports or in some cases when multiple simultaneous calls are present on adjacent voice ports/timeslots, the call may connect momentarily before being disconnected.
If a problem occurs only on a single voice port, there is another problem, not this caveat (CSCse15025). PRI/BRI calls are not affected because PRI/BRI does not utilize the DSP for signaling purposes.
When the symptom occurs with either a VIC2-xFXO or EVM DID/FXS module, enter the terminal monitor command followed by the test voice port port- number si-reg-read 39 1 command for one of the affected ports. The output typically should be a single octet value for register 39. When the symptom occurs, information for Registers 40, 41, and 42 is presented and some of the registers show double- octet information. See the example output (2) below.
When the symptom occurs with FXS or analog E&M modules, enter the terminal monitor command followed by the test voice port port- number codec-debug 10 1 command for one of the affected ports. The output typically should be a single octet value for each register. See the example output (4) below.
Workaround There is no workaround.
CSCse47338 H245-signal dtmf relay requires signal update to end digitsSymptom A third party device sends dtmf-relay using a h.245-signal, which includes duration of the digit. The CME gateway sends the digit to CUE, but the digit is not considered done unless another digit is received. This results in %SIP-3-DIGITEND: Missing digit end event messages.
Workaround Send an extra (unnecessary) digit, which indicates the previous digit is ended.
CSCse60250 Support Localization for the Cisco IP Phone 7906 on Cisco Unified CME.CSCse66125 Call-waiting ring in ephone-dn-template fails to hold configurationSymptom When trying to configure call-waiting ring on an ephone-dn x, the configuration is accepted, but cannot be seen in the configuration.
CSCse75014 CME/SRST not able to make calls to Unity VMSymptom With CME/SRST, you are able to make calls to Unity VM.VM port DN is not coming to "Idle" state after restarting Unity.
CSCeh69448 SCCP CME need to clean up tftp binding.CSCek43094 Add TNP compatible Network locale tags to cnf file.CSCsc82351 Device ID for the Goped phone is incorrectSymptom The device ID for the Goped phone is incorrect.
Workaround There is no workaround.
CSCsc85575 Subsequent call following a conf call by TNP Ph results in 1-way audioSymptom No audio is received from a Cisco 7931 IP phone.
Conditions This symptom is observed when a call is made between a Cisco IP phone 7960 and a Cisco IP phone 7931. The user of the CiscoIP phone 7960 experiences one-way audio intermittently while the user of the Cisco IP phone 7931 does not experience this symptom.
Workaround Reset the Cisco IP phone 7931.
CSCsc99639 CME unable to make call on 2nd line using line button when 1 line busySymptom The CME is unable to make call on a second line using line button when line 1is busy
Conditions This occurs when you make a call from Phone A to Phone B on Line 1. Answer the call on Phone B on line 1. Press Line 2 on Phone B. The first call is put on Hold on Line 1 but Line 2 button light does not come up and Line 2 has no dial tone and it does not accept a new call on Line 2 at all. Ideally Line 2 should put the call on Hold and then accept new call with giving out dial tone.
Workaround There is no workaround.
CSCsd13066 No caller ID displayed for a forwarded call on IP Phone running 7.xSymptom When release 7.x phoneload is used on a forwarding phone, the forward-to party does not see the forwarded party number on the display.
Workaround There is no workaround.
CSCsd73435 The button-layout help CLI is unclear.CSCsd86966 Not able to create CTL file for 7906 phone.CSCsd90419 Cisco IP Phone 7941/61/11 does not support localization in SRSTSymptom The Cisco 7941/61/11 phones display change to English in SRST mode.
Conditions Phone falls back to SRST CME router.
Workaround There is now workaround.
CSCse05698 CME 12 build in locales support on 7941/61/11.CSCse08865 Enhance CME locale installer to support 7941/61/11/70/71CSCse16210 7920 locale support enhancement.CSCse29308 CCME extension assigner extraCSCse35293 CCME extension assigner need to update CNF file.CSCse36127 If a Phone is viewed on the GUI the extensions are marked as normal ring even if they are monitored lines.
