The Cisco IOS Release 11.0 software image size might exceed 4 MB. Also, the systems now require more than 1 MB of main system memory for data structure tables.
For the Cisco access servers to take advantage of the Release 11.0 features, you must upgrade the code or main system memory as listed in Table 5. Some platforms have specific chip or architecture requirements that affect what can be upgraded and in what increments.

The following software enhancements have been added to Cisco IOS Release 11.0(5). There are no new features in software releases later than Release 11.0(5).
The Cisco 2520 through Cisco 2523 models merge router and access server features to serve access and telecommuting requirements in a single platform. WAN aggregation, telecommuting, branch office, and IBM protocol applications are well-suited to these new Cisco devices.
The interfaces available in each model are shown below:
Cisco 2520 | 1 Ethernet, 2 high-speed synchronous serial, 2 low-speed synchronous/asynchronous serial, 1 ISDN BRI |
Cisco 2521 | 1 Token Ring, 2 high-speed synchronous serial, 2 low-speed synchronous/asynchronous serial, 1 ISDN BRI |
Cisco 2522 | 1 Ethernet, 2 high-speed synchronous serial, 8 low-speed synchronous/asynchronous serial, 1 ISDN BRI |
Cisco 2523 | 1 Token Ring, 2 high-speed synchronous serial, 8 low-speed synchronous/asynchronous serial, 1 ISDN BRI |
The low-speed serial interfaces (maximum speed 115.2 kbps) are capable of supporting both synchronous and asynchronous protocols.
The following software enhancement has been added to Release 11.0(4).
This feature was previously unavailable in Release 11.0. It allows payload compression of data within Frame Relay packets. Compression is performed on a packet-by-packet basis, yielding a compression ratio of approximately 1.5 to 1, depending on the packet and data characteristics. The command frame-relay payload-compress packet-by-packet is included.
The following software enhancements have been added to Release 11.0(3).
The smds glean interface configuration command is included in the feature set of Release 11.0(3). The smds glean command dynamically creates SMDS to higher-level protocol address mappings from incoming packets, thereby making the need for static map configuration for the IPX protocol optional rather than required. However, any static map configuration will override the dynamic maps.
IP address pooling provides a pool of IP addresses from which an incoming interface can provide an IP address to a remote node through the IP Control Protocol (IPCP) address negotiation process. In Cisco IOS Release 11.0(3), the IP address pooling feature is enhanced to allow configuration of a global default address pooling mechanism, a per-interface configuration of the mechanism to use, and a per-interface configuration of a specific address or pool name to use. Cisco IOS Release 11.0(3) also enhances the flexibility of configuration by allowing multiple types of pooling to be active simultaneously.
With Release 11.0(3), you can use Flash SIMMs from multiple vendors, as long as the total size of each SIMM is equal, and the SIMMs are installed in one of the combinations shown in Table 6 (for the Cisco 2500 series).
Multivendor Flash memory support is restricted to platforms that use Rxboot Version 10.2(7a) or later, and Cisco IOS Release 10.2(8), 10.3(6), or 11.0(3) or later.
Cisco 2500 series routers have two slots for Flash SIMMs. Table 6 provides the supported SIMM configurations.
SIMM Size | Vendor | Flash Bank | Considerations |
---|---|---|---|
4 MB | Intel (1Mbx8) | single | None |
4 MB/4 MB | Intel/Intel (1Mbx8) | dual | None |
4 MB/4 MB | Intel/AMD (1Mbx8) | dual | This configuration requires rxboot Release 10.2(7a) or later. It also requires one of the following Cisco IOS Releases:
|
8 MB | Intel (2Mbx8) | single | This configuration requires rxboot Release 10.2(7a) or later. It also requires one of the following Cisco IOS Releases:

Cisco IOS Release 11.0(3) supports PPP callback, which provides a client server relationship between the end points of a point-to-point serial connection. PPP callback allows a router to request that a dial-up peer router call back. The callback feature can be used to control access and toll costs between the routers. This feature is a partial implementation of the PPP Callback specifications in RFC 1570.
The following new software features were added to Cisco IOS Release 11.0(2).
The QLLC and Bisync features are included in the following feature sets for the Cisco 2500 series access servers and Cisco AS5100 access server:
This section describes new features and enhancements in Release 11.0(1) of the access server software.
This section describes general features that are new in the initial release of Cisco IOS Release 11.0.
This section describes the backbone protocol routing features that are new in the initial release of Cisco IOS Release 11.0.
The following features have been added to the Cisco IOS TCP/IP software:
AAA/TACACS+ Phase II has been added to the Cisco system management functionality. This upgrade to Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting/Terminal Access Controller Access Control System Plus (AAA/TACACS+) adds accounting to the existing facilities in TACACS+.
The following features have been added to the Cisco interface configuration functionality:
The following features have been added to the Cisco telecommuting service functionality:
This section describes the desktop protocol features that are new in the initial release of Cisco IOS Release 11.0.
The following features have been added to the Cisco IOS AppleTalk software:
Sequence Packet Exchange (SPX) spoofing has been added to the Cisco IOS Novell software. Some SPX-based services in a Novell environment use SPX watchdog packets to verify the integrity of end-to-end communications when guaranteed and sequenced packet transmission is required. SPX spoofing enables the Cisco IOS software to receive, recognize, and successfully acknowledge watchdog packets at both the server end and the client end of the wide-area link. Requests for the transmission of legitimate information triggers the dial-up connection. SPX spoofing can drastically reduce communications costs associated with dial-on-demand circuits.
This section describes the wide-area networking features that are new in the initial release of Cisco IOS Release 11.0.
The following features have been added to the Cisco IOS Frame Relay software:
The following new Management Information Bases (MIBs) are available:
This section describes warnings and cautions about using the Cisco IOS Release 11.0 software. It discusses the following topics:
Cisco IOS Release 11.0(2) contains a software defect, affecting all platforms, that involves an unexpected router reload when X.25 is configured. This defect, CSCdi40956, is not present in Release 11.0(1) and is fixed by Release 11.0(3).
As of Cisco IOS Release 11.0(1), the Access and Communication Servers Getting Started Guide has been discontinued. Configuration information using the setup facility previously published in this document is now contained in the user guide that ships with each product.
If you are upgrading to Cisco IOS Release 11.0 from an earlier Cisco IOS software release, you should save your current configuration file before configuring your access server with the Cisco IOS Release 11.0 software in the event that an unrecoverable error occurs during download or configuration.
Version 3.3 of mrouted, which was announced on August 26, 1994, has a multicast trace route facility that does not work through Cisco access servers. Cisco access servers have multicast tracing utilities that can be used to manage multicast internetworks. An interoperable solution will be provided in a maintenance release of Cisco IOS Release 11.0.
Our implementation of AppleTalk does not forward packets with local source and destination network addresses. This behavior does not conform to the definition of AppleTalk in Apple Computer's Inside AppleTalk publication. However, this behavior is designed to prevent any possible corruption of the AppleTalk Address Resolution Protocol (AARP) table in any AppleTalk node that is performing MAC-address gleaning.
This section describes possibly unexpected behavior by Release 11.0(22). Unless otherwise noted, these caveats apply to all 11.0 releases, up to and including 11.0(22).

All the caveats listed in this section are resolved in Release 11.0(22).
