Cisco在版本12.3之前,每个特性都需要对IOS进行升级,这样对于客户来说对于各种版本的IOS的选择来说具有很大的困惑。现在思科12.3版本(路由器)或者12.2S版本(交换机)对于众多的特性进行了打包(packaging)策略用于简化选择:44个特性被组合成路由器的八个特性集,多层交换机的七个特性集和两层交换机的两个特性集。根据ITExamPrep.com报道K8特性集从2003年八月开始被K9特性集所取代。
 
  交换机软件包(Switches p ackages)
 
  该特性包主要针对的交换机产品从2900到6500,包括以下特性包: Layer2 Base, LAN Base, IP Base, IP Services, Advanced IP Services, Enterprise Services 和Advanced Enterprise Services.其中Layer2 Base 和LAN Base软件包只针对二层交换机,从IP Base开始针对多层交换机(MLS Switches) .出厂的交换机缺省情况下二层加载了Layer2 Base的软件包,多层加载了IP Base的软件包。
 
  下面介绍各个软件包所具体包含的特性集:
 
  LAYER2 BASE : 用于接入层交换机,通常为29xx. 特性集 : Bridging, spanning-tree (802.1D), 802.1X, etherchannel (802.3ad), Rapid Spanning-Tree (802.1s/w), port-security, smartports, SSHv2.
 
  LAN BASE : 用于需要配置QoS和过滤的接入层交换机,通常为29xx. 特性集: Cisco AutoQos, Cisco AutoSecure, 802.1X, Time Based ACL, Port based ACL, advanced QoS ( Layer 2 to 4 classification, ingress policing, ingress rate limiting, classification DSCP)。
 
  IP BASE: 用于小型局域网路由,硬件切换等交换机,通常为6500 特性集: Static routing, RIP, Stub EIGRP, basic PIM, HSRP, VRRP, GRE tunnels.
 
  IP SERVICES : 用于多层交换的局域网或者广域网,需要高可用性等,通常为6500 特性集: IP routing EIGRP, OSPF, PIM, BGP, PBR, GLBP, HSRP, VRRP, Redundant PR+, Multi-VRF, WAN, NBAR.
 
  ADVANCED IP SERVICES: 用于多层交换的ISP,园区广域网等,通常为6500 特性集: IS-IS, MPLS, L2×××, L3×××, IPv6.
 
  ENTERPRISE SERVICES : 用于多层交换的汇聚层或者核心层,通常为6500 特性集: Appletalk routing, IPX, services IBM
 
  ADVANCED ENTERPRISE SERVICES : 用于多层交换的汇聚层或者核心层,通常为6500 特性集: Firewall IOS, IDS .

平常这些软件包可以通过两种方式来区分,一种是IOS的文件名,另一种是销售商的产品号(product code)

下面是一个2800系列路由器的命名示例:

一个2800 IP Voice的软件包价格450欧,而一个Advanced Enterprise Services的软件包则价值2000欧...


7200/7300系列路由器软件包

7200/7300系列路由器的软件包和前面800到3800系列的软件包主要有以下三个不同:


IP Base软件包增加了SSH特性支持 package 
Advanced Enterprise Services软件包增加了SNA switching特性支持 
Advanced IP Services 增加了Lawful Intercept特性支持。Lawful Intercept (LI)指的是可以满足政府对路由器数据进行侦听的需要. 而这样的软件包也价格不菲,7200的相应软件包价值9000欧.
