This reference is intended to assist engineers in ascertaining the feature sets included with an image. In most cases, the image name should correspond with the image name as downloaded from CCO. Assuming this to be the case, the image will have many numbers and letters in it, which indicate the feature functionality included in the image. The list below, while not "comprehensive," is a list of the most popular codes in a IOS naming convention.

Notes - "Legacy Naming" Conventions
7200 and 7500 images for "IP Only" are always "IP Plus." Therefore, Base IP supports IP Gateway cards like the PA-VXC's, whereas in the 17/26/36/37xx's you need IP Plus.
In the 1700, the "s" for PLUS feature sets sometimes is the first letter, as opposed in the middle, and the "y" for IP is sometimes at the end, instead of the beginning.
Some sample decodes:
c1700-bk2no3r2sv3y7-mz.121-5.YB5.bin
- 12.1(5)YB2, AT/3DES/IPX/FW/IDS/IBM/Plus/Voice/IP/ADSL, runs from RAM and is a compressed image
c7200-is-mz.121-11.bin
- 12.1(11) mainline, IP Only (note: this is a 7200, so IP Plus = IP), runs from RAM and is a compressed image
"Legacy Naming" - Feature Sets - Common Features Needed
Plus - Needed for modems, ATM, voice (non-17xx), DLSw+. Also adds "back in" IP features not in low-end router "y" images, like BGP.
VIP Support - Needed for VIP2/4/6 (75xx), FlexWAN (C6K)
Desktop - Has IP, IPX, and usually AT. Some older IOS revs have DEC/LAT in there, too.
Enterprise
- "Kitchen Sink" - has every protocol possible, except those that require their own letter code.

New IOS Naming - Eight Feature Sets
In early 2003, the IOS teams in Cisco redid the IOS feature sets to "pull in the reigns," so to speak, and get the whole granular list "boiled down" to just a few feature sets. This will (hopefully) make choosing a feature set easier as time moves on. Certain IOS feature sets that are "specials" - for instance,
H.323/MCM, will always be separate.
These sets were introduced first on the 1700, 2600XM, 2691, and 3700 series routers in 12.3 mainline. 12.3T will have only the new feature sets for these platforms and new ones. Later on, 12.2S and 12.3 special releases for the 7200, 10000, 12000, and other routers are planned to follow the same example.
The key concept is "inheritance" - when you "move up" the diagram above, you "inherit" all the features from the feature sets below. For instance, Advanced IP Services combines the features in Advanced Security, Service Provider Services, IP Voice, and IP Base. Feature sets are easier to see their names, as well (substitute "2600" or "3700" or any other router model in place of "xxxx"):
|
IP Base
- Entry-level image, rolls up into all other images. Provides core routing functionality, including static routes, RIP, OSPF, EIGRP, for IPv4 only. Includes modems (both analog and digital) trunking (802.1q and ISL) and DSL, which were previously premium services only obtainable in the "IP Plus" feature
|
set
. Also includes NAT.
|
IP Voice
- Adds VoIP and VoFR.
|
Advanced Security
- Adds IOS/Firewall, IDS, SSH, NAC, and IPSec (DES, 3DES, and AES).
|
Service Provider Services
- Adds Netflow, SSH, BGP, ATM, and VoATM.
|
Enterprise
Base
- Adds support for "legacy" L3 protocols such as IPX and Appletalk. Also adds IBM features such as DLSw+, STUN/BSTUN, and RSRB.
|
Advanced IP Services
- Beyond merging Advanced Security and SP Services, it adds IPv6.
