This chapter provides product numbers for AGS+ spares. These spares offer you the ability to enhance the capabilities of installed systems.
The information in this chapter is organized into the following sections:
The AGS+ has nine slots, five of which are part of the ciscoBus (see Figure 161).
The ciscoBus controller card (CSC-CCTL2) is required only when an FDDI, Ethernet (C2MEC), HSSI, or four-port Token Ring card is installed. If a ciscoBus controller is not used, up to seven slots can be used for Ethernet, Ethernet/serial, Token Ring, and serial interface cards.
Figure 161 : AGS+ Card Slot Assignments
Table 341 lists the AGS+ card and port limits.

Cisco IOS software for the AGS+ is included in the basic price of the system. For example, the Cisco IOS Release 10.0 software product (for example, SW-GA-10.0.8) includes a feature license for standard software (for example, FR-SA-10.0.X). Specific protocols and features are provided through software feature license agreements, which include bridging and packet switching. For example, Frame Relay is covered by a packet-switching feature license. For APPN, you must purchase Enterprise with APPN.
Table 350 provides spare software options for the AGS+, and Table 351 describes software features.

Microcode is card-specific firmware that can be replaced with programmable read-only memory. As new software and hardware features are introduced, the microcode for affected cards must be updated in order to implement new features or to operate with new software.
Recommended microcode levels are dependent on the card and software release level. The most current Microcode Release Note is available on the Cisco Connection Documentation, Enterprise Series CD and CCO. The Microcode Release Note contains the following information:
This section helps you enhance an existing AGS+ by adding interface cards. Refer to the "AGS+ Product Considerations" and then fill out the AGS+ Worksheet to determine when to upgrade microcode, how to verify power requirements, and how to optimize card and connector capacity. Note that the section "AGS+ Product Considerations" contains some products that are no longer offered for sale.
To determine the AGS+ components you need, complete these steps:
In the AGS+ sample worksheet, a customer made the following upgrades:
After checking the information in the section "AGS+ Product Considerations," the following requirements were noted in the "Upgraded AGS+ System" section of the sample worksheet:
