Release Notes for Cisco IOS Release 11.2(11) Software Feature Packs for Cisco 2500 Series Routers 17

Loading Cisco IOS Release 11.2 Software on CiscoPro Routers

The RSL has an upgrade utility to permanently modify a CiscoPro router so that it accepts Cisco IOS

Release 11.2 software images. The utility changes the router SysObjectID Simple Network

Management Protocol (SNMP) MIB value (used for network management) to that of a Cisco router.

The software banner also changes and no longer identiﬁes the router as a CiscoPro product.

Note After this upgrade, CiscoVision cannot recognize your router. If you choose the permanent

upgrade, CiscoWorks for Windows is a recommended replacement for network management

purposes. To upgrade your CiscoVision software to CiscoWorks Windows 2.1, order one of the

following: CPW-CVCW-U to Upgrade CiscoVision to CiscoWorks Windows (managing up to

50 nodes) or CPW-CVCW-ENT-U to Upgrade CiscoVision to CiscoWorks Windows (managing up

to 500 nodes). For general information about Cisco Systems, Cisco products, or upgrades, contact

800 553-6387, 408 526-7208, or [email protected].

The upgrade utility must be located in the Images directory. If it is not, the upgrade utility informs

you that the image is not present. The Cisco 2500 series upgrade utility ﬁlename is

cpa25-upgrade-l.112-3.P.

Installation Tips

This section describes some solutions to problems you might encounter when using the RSL. These

solutions are additions to RSL online help.

Recovering From a Connection Error

Try increasing the Short Timeout value in the Options dialog box if you receive the following

message when trying to connect to the router:

"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."

This connection recovery method is particularly applicable when you are connecting to one of the

following devices:

• A router that has a large conﬁguration ﬁle.

• A Cisco AS5200. Note that a Cisco AS5200 requires up to 45 seconds to write a conﬁguration

to nonvolatile random-access memory (NVRAM) due to the number of interfaces that must be

checked during this process. Increase the Short Timeout value to 60 seconds.

Note Increasing the Short Timeout value might increase the time it takes for the RSL to connect to

the target router.
