Ccna3 Chapter 9

Front 1

A software release family is comprised of multiple IOS software release versions that:

Back 1

Apply to related hardware platforms

Overlap in support coverage

Front 2

Along with each software release, there are new versions of the software created to implement

Back 2

bug fixes and new features.

Front 3

IOS refers to these versions as

Back 3

trains.

Front 4

Within a software release family there may be two or more closely

Back 4

related and active trains.

Front 5

The mainline train receives mostly software

Back 5

(bug) fixes.

Front 6

The mainline train releases are also designated as

Back 6

Maintenance Deployment releases (MD).

Front 7

A mainline train is always associated with a

Back 7

technology train (T train).

Front 8

The T train also receives new

Back 8

software and hardware support features.

Front 9

The T train are considered

Back 9

Early Deployment (ED) releases.

Front 10

An S train will contain specific features designed to meet

Back 10

service provider requirements.

Front 11

All child trains of the mainline train (T, S, etc.) typically contain an

Back 11

uppercase letter designating the train type.

Front 12

Cisco IOS 12.4 on-premium packages are:

Back 12

IP Base

IP Voice

Front 19

IOS 15.0 provides several enhancements to the operating system including: 6

Back 19

Clearer software deployment and migration guidelines

Front 20

The benefits of the new Cisco IOS release model include:

Back 20

Feature inheritance

Releases two to three times a year

EM releases every 16 to 20 months

T releases for features and hardware support

Maintenance rebuilds contain bug fixes only

Front 21

The Services on Demand process enables customers to realize operational savings through ease of

Back 21

software ordering and management.

Front 22

There are two types of universal images supported in ISR G2:

Back 22

"universalk9"

"universalk9_npe"

Front 23

Universal images "universalk9"offers all of the

Back 23

Cisco IOS Software features.

Front 24

Universal images "universalk9_npe" satisfies requirements for the

Back 24

export of encryption capabilities.

Front 25

Each device ships with the

Back 25

Universal image.

Front 26

Features are activated through

Back 26

licensing.

Front 27

Each licensing key is

Back 27

unique to a particular device.

Front 28

Each licensing key isobtained from Cisco by providing the

Back 28

product ID

serial number of the router

Product Activation Key (PAK).

Front 29

The name for the Cisco IOS image file contains multiple parts, each with a specific meaning: Image Name

Back 29

Identifies the platform on which the image runs.

Front 30

The name for the Cisco IOS image file contains multiple parts, each with a specific meaning: advipservicesk9

Back 30

Specifies the feature set.

Front 31

The name for the Cisco IOS image file contains multiple parts, each with a specific meaning: mz

Back 31

Indicates where the image runs and if the file is compressed.

Front 32

The name for the Cisco IOS image file contains multiple parts, each with a specific meaning: SPA

Back 32

Designates that file is digitally signed by Cisco.

Front 33

The name for the Cisco IOS image file contains multiple parts, each with a specific meaning: 124-6.T

Back 33

The filename format for image.

Front 34

As a network grows, Cisco IOS Software images and configuration files can be stored on a

Back 34

central TFTP server.

Front 35

Using a network TFTP server allows image and configuration uploads and downloads

Back 35

over the network.

Front 36

To upgrade to the copied IOS image configure the router to load the new image during bootup using the

Back 36

boot system command.

Front 37

Reload the router to boot the router with the

Back 37

new image.

Front 38

During startup, the bootstrap code parses the

Back 38

startup configuration file in NVRAM.

Front 39

When a new router is shipped, it comes preinstalled with the

Back 39

software image and the corresponding permanent licenses.

Front 40

The router also comes with the evaluation

Back 40

license.

Front 41

The evaluation license allows customers to try a

Back 41

new software package or feature.

Front 42

The Cisco IOS Software Activation feature allows the user to enable

Back 42

licensed features and register licenses.

Front 43

Technology packages that are available:

Back 43

IP Base - Routing Protocols

Data - Service Provider Services

Unified Communications (UC) - IP voice

Security (SEC) - Security Features

Front 44

Software Claim Certificates are used for licenses that require

Back 44

software activation.

Front 45

The claim certificate provides the

Back 45

Product Activation Key (PAK).

Front 46

The PAK serves as a receipt and is used to obtain a

Back 46

license.

Front 47

A PAK is an 11 digit

Back 47

alpha numeric key created by Cisco manufacturing.

Front 48

A PAK is not tied to a specific device until the

Back 48

license is created.

Front 49

The next step is to obtain the license using one of the following options:

Back 49

Cisco License Manager (CLM)

Cisco License Registration Portal

Front 50

Cisco License Manager (CLM) - is a standalone application from Cisco that helps network administrators rapidly

Back 50

deploy multiple Cisco software licenses across their networks.

Front 51

Cisco License Registration Portal - This is the web-based portal for

Back 51

getting and registering individual software licenses.

Front 52

Both of these processes require a

Back 52

PAK number and a Unique Device Identifier (UDI).

Front 53

The UDI is a combination of the

Back 53

Product ID (PID)

the Serial Number (SN)

the hardware version

Front 54

The SN is an 11 digit number which uniquely

Back 54

identifies a device.

Front 55

After entering the appropriate information, the customer receives an

Back 55

email containing the license information.

Front 56

The license file is an

Back 56

XML text file with a .lic extension.
