Feature Set Tables
The Cisco IOS software is packaged in feature sets consisting of software images, depending on the platform. Each feature set contains a specific set of Cisco IOS features. Release 12.2(11)YV2 supports the same feature sets as Releases 12.2 and 12.2(8)T, but Release 12.2(11)YV2 includes new features supported by the Cisco 1700 series routers.
Caution Cisco IOS images with strong encryption (including, but not limited to, 168-bit [3DES] data encryption feature sets) are subject to United States government export controls and have limited distribution. Strong encryption images to be installed outside the United States will likely require an export license. Customer orders can be denied or subject to delay as a result of United States government regulations. When applicable, the purchaser/user must obtain local import and use authorizations for all encryption strengths. Please contact your sales representative or distributor for more information, or send an e-mail to export@cisco.com.
Table 2 lists the features and feature sets supported in Cisco IOS Release 12.2(11)YV2.
The table uses the following conventions:
•Yes—The feature is supported in the software image.
•No—The feature is not supported in the software image.
•In—The number in the "In" column indicates the Cisco IOS release in which the feature was introduced. For example, "12.2(11)YV" means that the feature was introduced in 12.2(11)YV. If a cell in this column is empty, the feature was included in a previous release or in the initial base release.
Note These feature set tables contain only a selected list of features, which are cumulative for Release 12.2(11)nn early deployment releases only (nn identifies each early deployment release). The tables do not list all features in each image—additional features are listed in the Cross-Platform Release Notes for Cisco IOS Release 12.2 T and Release 12.2 T Cisco IOS documentation.

New and Changed Information
The following sections list the new software features supported by the Cisco 1700 series routers for Release 12.2(11)YV2.
New Software Features in Release 12.2(11)YV
The following sections describe the new software features supported by the Cisco 1700 series routers for Release 12.2(11)YV.
Channel Bank
The channel bank feature provides support for the time-division multiplexing (TDM) cross-connect functionality on the Cisco 1760 router between analog voice ports and digital DS0s. This feature will provide support for 2 to 6 ports cross connected to a T1 channel associated signal (CAS) using a 2-port Voice Interface Card (VIC), and a maximum of 12 ports using a 4-port VIC.
To establish a channel bank connection between an analog voice port and a T1 DS0, configure the connect command in the global configuration mode. To verify the channel bank connection, use show connection all command.
Syntax
connect connection name voice-port analog voice port T1 T1 endpoint
no connect connection name [voice-port analog voice port T1 T1 endpoint]
connection name ::= name string
analog voice port ::= slot number of port/port number of port
T1 endpoint ::= slot number of controller/port number of controller DS0-group number
The DS0 group must contain only one time slot. The signaling type of the DS0 group must match that of the analog voice port.
The channel bank feature is not supported on the Cisco 1751 router.
Configuration Example
In the following example, E&M port 2/1 is configured for a Channel Bank connection with timeslot 1 on T1 1/0.
!(config)#controller T1 1/0(config-controller)#ds0-group 1 timeslot 1 type e&m-wink(config-controller)#exit(config)#voice-port 2/1(config-voiceport)#operation 4-wire(config-voiceport)#type 2(config-voiceport)#signal wink(config-voiceport)#exit(config)#connect connect2 voice-port 2/1 T1 1/0 1(config-ipm_dsprm-conn)#end!To verify the channel bank connection:

Limitations
The following sections describe limitations of the new software features supported by the Cisco 1700 series routers for Release 12.2(11)YV2.
Channel Bank
•Once a channel bank connection is configured, the presence or absence of traffic cannot be indicated to the user.
•The users hear silence (not a busy signal) if the DSO time slot of a configured channel bank connection is busied out during the call. The channel bank connection will go down when the DSO time slot is busy.
•The show voice port command will not return the correct call state of a configured channel bank connection. The command always reports the port as being idle.
•Channel bank requires digital signal processing (DSP) resources for signaling. If the DSP fails, the connection will be down until the DSP recovers automatically.
•The port LED will not indicate the hook state of the analog port.
•The caller ID feature will not be available on the ports of a channel bank.
•During periods of high CPU use, signaling transfer between the ports of channel bank could be delayed.
•No VoIP or POTS calls should be designated to any of the voice ports in the channel bank connection.
Important Notes
The following sections describe important notes concerning the new software features supported by the Cisco 1700 series routers for Release 12.2(11)YV2.
Channel Bank
The port LED is illuminated when the channel bank connection is up. The port LED is turned off when the connection goes down. If a call gets connected to a channel bank port, any conversation in progress or in future through the channel bank will fail until shut or no-shut command is issued on the voice port. Alternately the connection can be removed and created again to recover.
Following syslog messages will be generated for indicating channel bank status.
%CHANNEL_BANK-5-UPDOWN:Channel Bank <connection_name> state is DOWN
%CHANNEL_BANK-5-UPDOWN:Channel Bank <connection_name> state is UP
The analog voice port LED will also indicate the channel bank status: on when the connection is UP and off when the connection is DOWN.
Caveats
Caveats describe unexpected behavior or defects in Cisco IOS software releases. Severity 1 caveats are the most serious caveats, severity 2 caveats are less serious, and severity 3 caveats are the least serious of these three severity levels.
Caveats in Release 12.2 T are also in Release 12.2(11)YV2. For information on caveats in Cisco IOS Release 12.2 T, refer to the Caveats for Cisco IOS Release 12.2 T document. For information on caveats in Cisco IOS Release 12.2, refer to the Caveats for Cisco IOS Release 12.2 document.

Resolved Caveats - Release 12.2(11)YV2
Cisco IOS Release 12.2(11)YV2 is a rebuild release for Cisco IOS Release 12.2(11)YV. This section describes unexpected behavior that is fixed in Release 12.2(11)YV2.
CSCdz71127
Cisco routers and switches running Cisco IOS software and configured to process Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) packets are vulnerable to a Denial of Service (DoS) attack. A rare sequence of crafted IPv4 packets sent directly to the device may cause the input interface to stop processing traffic once the input queue is full. No authentication is required to process the inbound packet. Processing of IPv4 packets is enabled by default. Devices running only IP version 6 (IPv6) are not affected. A workaround is available.
Cisco has made software available, free of charge, to correct the problem.

Open Caveats for Release 12.2(11)YV
The following sections lists the open caveats for the Cisco IOS release 12.2(11)YV.
CSCdz65951
Calls using E&M Immediate Start and Delay Start lines on a channel bank connection do not succeed. First dialed digit from the E&M analog/T1 line on a call that flows through a Cisco 1760 router channel bank connection does not reach the destination end. This happens only when the dial out delay is configured to be less than 135 ms at the call originating node. This problem happens only when the call flows through a Cisco 1760 router channel bank connection. It does not happen on switched calls through the Cisco 1760 router.
Workaround
Configure the dialout delay to be at least 135 ms.
CSCdz67774
Channel bank does not work with analog FXS ground start.
