Installation Prerequisites

Cisco IOS Release Image Names
The show version and show hardware commands display the current hardware configuration of the
router, including the system software version that is currently loaded and running. The
show microcode command lists the bundled microcode (target hardware) version for each processor
type. The CIP (and now CIP2) microcode is no longer bundled in Cisco IOS 11.1 and later, so the
show microcode command lists the default microcode which should be used with this Cisco IOS
version. The show controller cbus command shows the microcode version you are running. (For
complete descriptions of configuration commands, refer to the publications listed in the section “If
You Need More Information” on page 2.)
You can determine the current version of software or microcode stored in Flash memory either by
removing the processor module and checking the Flash device label or by using the show controller
cbus command and checking the EPROM version number in the output. Refer to the section “CIP2
Microcode,” on page 37, for basic configuration information, and to the appropriate software
documentation for complete configuration instructions and examples, listed in the section “If You
Need More Information” on page 2.
If the displays indicate that the required system software and microcode is not available in your
system, refer to the section “Cisco Connection Online,” on page 46, or contact a service
representative for upgrade information.
1. The Cisco IOS Release 10.2, Release 10.3, and
Release 11.0 image names that specifically contain a
“2” are compatible with the CIP2. All Cisco IOS
Release 11.1 image names are compatible with the
CIP2.
