The Common Q&A for Cisco IOS Software

As a technical consultant worked for 3Anetwork, frequently being asked questions about Cisco IOS software applicating.Here, I gathered them,having been given official explanation which I offered are as follows:

Q: If I need re-purchase the authorization after upgrading IOS for my Cisco 2911/k9 router, which have had authorized license?
A: My answer is No. Your previously authorization will be automatically activated. No need to worry about that.

Q: How to outcrop the latest version of IOS for a exact Cisco switch?
A:The first method: Open the Cisco official website, choose the “product” in “products and services” (if it is a router, “routers”, if a switch to select the “switches”), after entering, select the “device”, click the “device for more information”. The bottom is the software versions list of the Cisco,including whatever IOS version you are searching for.

So, doubt’s coming: From whom can we purchase original Cisco license, with competitive price, huge stock, fast delivery. We 3Anetwork, as a a leading Global provider of Cisco networking products, delivers original whether paper or electronic license through E-mail, fasting our delivery. This would avoid several unexpected situations -- previously authorization expire for example, offering a more simplified capital chain management. Our hot sale license include L-C3750X-48-L-E for LAN base to IP services, L-C3750X-48-L-S for LAN base to IP base, L-C3750X-48-S-E for IP base to IP services.

Q: How to chose IOS version for my Cisco 2921 router?
A: Cisco IOS software named general consists of five parts: AAAAA-BBBB-CC-DDDD.EE
AAAAA this group of characters which is the documentation of the applicable hardware platform, BBBB which is a characteristic of this group of characters included in the IOS, CC this group of characters is IOS file format, DDDD This group of characters is noted IOS software version, EE this is IOS file suffix. A characteristic of BBBB strings often see are:
       a              Advanced Peer-to-Peer Networking (APPN) feature
       Boot           boot image
       j               business
       i               IP
       ipbase          IP BASE
       i3              simplified IP, no BGP, EBP, NHRP
       i5              with VoFR of IP
       k8             IPSec 56
       k9             IPSec 3DES
        o              IOS Firewall
       o3             with intrusion detection system IDS, SSH firewall
       p              plus
       s              plus (NAT, IBM, VPDN, VoIP)
       v              VIP
       v5             VoIP
        x3             voice
If you just do the routing protocol configuration experiments, c3640-i-mz.123-5a.bin is enough. If you need to do encryption, firewalls or vpn aspect, we need to choose to support the specific features of IOS files.

Q: How is the Cisco IOS-XE Software architecture structured?
A: The framework of next-generation Cisco IOS-XE Software is internally distributed into major subcomponents. To design a scalable software architecture, each Cisco IOS-XE Software subcomponent handles unique tasks such as core applications (Cisco IOSd Software), integrated applications (WCM, Wireshark, and so on), Common Management Interface (syslog, HTTP, and so on), distributed forwarding manager, and so on.

Q: What are the high-availability(HA) states of Cisco IOSd Software running on the different switches in a stack?
A: The state of Cisco IOSd Software on each system is unique:
● Active: This Cisco IOSd Software is fully operational on the active switch. All management planes, Layer 2/3 control planes, and integrated WCMs function from this system.
● Hot standby: The Cisco IOSd Software is in hot standby state on the standby switch. To enable 1+1 stateful redundancy, the active switch synchronizes the network protocol state machines, wireless CAPWAP tunnel states, and so on in real time.
● Cold: All primary software components remain in cold state on member or line-card stack switches. The Cisco IOSd Software, management, and hosted applications remain in active state and are fully programmed for wire-speed distributed switching performance.

Q: What are the primary features introduced with the new Cisco IOS-XE Software 3.3.0SE on the Cisco Catalyst 3650 switch?
A: Refer to release notes for Cisco IOS-XE Software 3.3.0SE. For more details, refer to the Cisco Feature Navigator.
