These release notes discuss the Cisco IOS Release 11.2(10)P feature packs for Cisco AS5300 access servers. These are the product numbers for the supported feature packs:
These release notes contain the following sections:
The heart of a Cisco IOS software feature pack is a CD-ROM that contains a software image and Router Software Loader (RSL), a Windows 95 application that loads the image onto the access server/router. Each Cisco IOS Release 11.2 feature pack CD contains one feature set. For users without Windows 95, images can also be loaded with a Trivial File Transfer Protocol server application, as explained in these release notes.
Each Cisco IOS Release 11.2 software feature pack box contains the following:
This section describes the Cisco feature packs, listing the software feature sets comprising each feature pack. You can use this information to identify your feature pack set in conjunction with the corresponding information provided in Table 3 in the section "Cisco IOS Release 11.2 Feature Sets" on page 8. Table 3 identifies which features are supported for a feature set on a specific platform.
This section includes two tables: Table 1, describes each feature pack image, including a brief description of each feature set, the UNIX and DOS filenames of the images, and the memory required to run each feature set on the Cisco AS5300 access server. Table 2 lists the memory delivered by default and the memory upgrades available.
You can use Table 1 to identify the memory required for your configuration based on the image you run. You can then check this against Table 2 to determine how much memory is available on the access server as the factory default and the upgrades that you can obtain to satisfy your requirements.

 | Caution Your access server might contain modem code that needs to be saved before RSL erases the contents of Flash memory as part of the image load process. |
Take the following steps to save the contents of Flash memory:
Step 1 Insert the Router Software Loader CD-ROM in your PC.
Step 2 Run the RSL application.
Step 3 At the first screen, cancel from the Connect Wizard.
Step 4 At the next screen, select the Settings menu and then the Options menu item. Make sure Always backup images(s) before erasing is selected, and specify a backup directory on your PC.
Step 5 Continue with the RSL application as described in the Getting Started with the Router Software Loader booklet.
Because RSL erases data in the first Flash memory partition, we recommend that you prepare your access server for future software upgrades by creating two partitions. When you download new firmware or portware in the future, remember to copy it to the second partition.
The following steps provide an example of creating two Flash memory partitions:
Step 1 Enter configuration mode on your access server:
Step 2 Enter the partition flash command at the configuration mode prompt. You can partition the system Flash into eight segments and divide the system Flash RAM into equal or unequal segments. In the following example, the system Flash is partitioned into two equal segments.
as5300(config)#partition flash 2
Step 3 Return to enable mode.
as5300(config)#Ctrl-Z
Step 4 Enter the show version command for verification of your changes:
as5300#show version

Cisco IOS software controls the version of modem code (firmware and portware) used by modems on the 12- and 6-port modules. You can accept this firmware/portware version, or you can download another version of modem code. Unless you are familiar with Cisco AS5300 modem code, we recommend that you accept the default and not attempt to download another version.
Because you have the option of overriding the firmware and portware selected by Cisco IOS software, the following information provides some factors to consider before you manually download another version of modem code:
For detailed information about Microcom firmware download, refer to the "Modem Code" section in Installing 56K 12-Port Modem Modules in Cisco AS5300 Universal Access Servers. For general information about firmware and portware download, refer to the appendix "Managing Modems" in the Cisco AS5300 Access Server Software Configuration Guide.
This section describes several solutions to problems you might encounter when using RSL. These solutions are additions to the RSL online help.
This installation tip provides a possible recovery solution in the event that you are unable to connect to your access server or router. You can skip this section unless you are experiencing a connection error.
In some cases, you might receive the following error message while connecting to the target access server:
"Failed to configure the router to enable the Cisco IOS software image and configuration file upload and download operations. You may want to check the router to make sure that the selected interface exists."
If you encounter this message, try increasing the Short Timeout value, which is set to 25 seconds, in the Options dialog box, especially if one of the following situations applies:
In some cases, RSL is unable to restore the startup configuration. If this happens, take the following steps:
Step 1 Ensure that all cables are properly attached to both the access server and the PC.
Step 2 Restart RSL and connect using the Preconfigured router option.
Step 3 When asked if you want to overwrite the existing startup configuration file, choose NO.
Step 4 When asked if you want to continue, choose YES.
Step 5 When connected, select Download Router Configuration in the Router Software Loader dialog box.
Step 6 Select the appropriate file, and click Copy configuration to the router's nonvolatile memory.
The access server should now contain the startup configuration it had before the initial RSL connection. You can now exit RSL.
The following information about RSL operations can help you with the installation process:

The Router Software Loader application contained on the feature pack CD-ROM is designed to work with a PC running Microsoft Windows 95. The booklet included with the CD-ROM explains how to perform this simple and recommended install process. However, an alternative is available using a TFTP server application toinstall access server software.
This section explains how to use a TFTP server application as an alternative to using the RSL to install the access server software from the CD-ROM. You can perform this procedure using a PC (running Microsoft Windows 95 or Microsoft Windows 3.1), a Macintosh, or a UNIX system. You can use either the copy tftp flash or copy rcp flash command to download the software to the access server.
First obtain a TFTP application or a remote copy protocol (rcp) application to set up your computer as a TFTP server or an rcp server. You can use the RSL or the TFTP server included on the feature pack CD-ROM to install the software only if you are using a PC running Windows 95. For other operating systems, a number of TFTP or rcp applications are available from independent software vendors or as shareware from public sources on the World Wide Web.
This section describes how to use TFTP on a PC to install the access server software.
Step 1 Install any TFTP server application on the PC. (The TFTP application included on the feature pack CD-ROM is for Microsoft Windows 95 only.)
Step 2 Launch the TFTP server application on the PC, usually by double-clicking the application icon or its .exe filename.
Step 3 Set up the PC as a TFTP server by using the TFTP server application setup or configuration facility.
Most TFTP server applications include a setup facility that allows you to specify the PC as a server. For example, from the TFTP menu of one application, you can select Settings to display a panel that includes a check box beside the word Server. To configure the local PC as a server, click this check box.
The TFTP server also allows the selection of a "root" directory. You must select the directory in which the Cisco IOS files reside, for example, d:\cpswinst\images.
| Caution Make sure you set up your local PC as a TFTP server. If you overlook this step, you cannot perform the copy procedure. This reminder also applies if you are using rcp instead of TFTP. |
Step 4 Establish a console session from your local PC (which is now configured as a TFTP server) to the access server by using one of these methods:
Step 5 Connect your PC Ethernet port to the corresponding access server Ethernet port. Use a crossover cable to connect to the Ethernet port.
Step 6 Enter the following command to copy the new software image from the PC (set up as a TFTP server) to the access server Flash memory:
as5300# copy tftp flash
In the next series of steps, you download the Cisco IOS Release 11.2 images that you want installed on your access server.
Step 7 When prompted, enter the IP address of your PC, as in the following example:
Address or name of remote host [255.255.255.255]? 172.16.1.1
This is the IP address of your local PC, not that of the access server.
Step 8 When prompted, enter the filename of the Cisco IOS Release 11.2 image to be copied to the access server, as in the following example:
Source file name? 80272410.bin
This example specifies the DOS image name of the IP feature set for a Cisco AS5300 access server, as listed in Table 1.
Step 9 In response to the prompt, enter the destination UNIX image filename, and press Enter.
This is the name of the image file on the access server, not the full path name of the image on the CD-ROM attached to the PC. Refer to Table 1 in the section, "Cisco Feature Pack Description" for the UNIX image filename.
Destination file name [80272410.bin]? c5300-is-mz.112
During the transfer process, the software displays messages indicating that it has accessed the file you have specified and is loading it.
Step 10 Enter yes in response to the prompt asking if you want to erase the existing image copy resident in the access server Flash memory before copying the new one:
Erase flash device before writing? [confirm] yes
The entire copying process takes several minutes and differs from network to network.
The exclamation point (!) indicates that the copy process is taking place. Each exclamation point (!) indicates that ten packets have been transferred successfully. A checksum verification of the image occurs after the image is written to Flash memory.
Step 11 Enter the reload command to reload the access server:
as5300# reload
After reload is complete, the access server should be running the required Cisco IOS image. Use the show version command to verify.
For a list of documentation related to the AS5300, refer to the Release Notes for the Cisco AS5300 for Cisco IOS Release 11.2P.
Release notes and other Cisco documentation are on the Documentation CD-ROM that is included with your feature pack, and at Cisco Connection Online (CCO) on the World Wide Web.
