CISCO IOS SOFTWARE FEATURES

H.323 Gatekeeper, Multiservice IP-to-IP Gateway, and H.323 Multimedia

Conference Manager

PRODUCT OVERVIEW

To use the Cisco IOS

Software features H.323 Gatekeeper, IP-to-IP Gateway, or H.323 Multimedia Conference

Manager (MCM), customers must purchase feature licenses. The H.323 Gatekeeper, IP-to-IP Gateway, and H.323

MCM are key components of a voice- and video-over-IP network design that allows control, management and

routing, and ensures quality of service. This document describes the feature licenses available and the router

platforms and software versions to which they apply.

Cisco IOS Software Licenses

The Cisco IOS Software License is commonly referred to as Cisco IOS Software. This type of license includes the

right to use a particular Cisco IOS software release and feature set on one router. For example, Cisco IOS Software

Release 12.3(7)T ENTERPRISE PLUS/H323 MCM for the Cisco 3745 Multiservice Access Router, ordered as part

number S374APU-12307T, corresponds to the software image called c3745-jsx-mz.123-07.T.bin

Cisco IOS Software Feature Licenses

Another type of license, Cisco IOS Software Feature License, is commonly referred to as a feature license. In some

cases, additional value-added functions are provided in software images but the “base” Cisco IOS Software License

does not cover them. Cisco offers the right to use these features through a feature license.

For example:

• To use the H.323 GatekeeperfeatureonaCisco3745MultiserviceAccessRouter, the H.323 Gatekeeper Feature

License, FL-GK-NEW-3745 is required.

• To use the Multiservice IP-to-IP Gateway feature on a Cisco 3745 Multiservice Access Router, the IP-to-IP

Gateway Feature License, FL-IPIP3745CORE is required

• Beginning with Cisco IOS Software Release 12.3(7)T in March 2004, the H.323 Gatekeeper and Multiservice IP-

to-IP Gateway features can run concurrently on the same hardware platform. In this case, the H.323 Gatekeeper

Feature License, FL-GK-NEW-xxxx, provides the right to use both the H.323 Gatekeeper and the Multiservice

IP-to-IP Gateway features.

Note: A feature license conveys the right to use a feature, but it cannot add a feature to a software release or software

image that does not support it. For example, purchasing a Gatekeeper Feature License for Cisco IOS Software

Release 10.0, or for the IP release for the Cisco 3745, will not upgrade the software to support the Gatekeeper

features.Chooseasoftwarereleasethatsupportsallrequired features, and then choose any necessaryfeature licenses.
