Cisco IOS Software
The Cisco 1941 Series Integrated Services Routers deliver innovative technologies running on industry-leading
Cisco IOS Software. Developed for wide deployment in the world’s most demanding enterprise, access, and
service provider networks, Cisco IOS Software Release 15 M & T provides support for a comprehensive portfolio of
Cisco technologies, including new functionality and features delivered in Releases 12.4 and 12.4T, and new
innovations that span multiple technology areas, including security, voice, high availability, IP Routing and
Multicast, quality of service (QoS), IP Mobility, Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS), VPNs, and embedded
management.
Cisco IOS Software Licensing and Packaging
A single Cisco IOS Universal image encompassing all functions is delivered with the platforms. You can enable
advanced features by activating a software license on the Universal image. In previous generations of access
routers, these feature sets required you to download a new software image. Technology packages and feature
licenses, enabled through the Cisco software licensing infrastructure, simplify software delivery and decrease the
operational costs of deploying new features.
Four major technology licenses are available on the Cisco 1941 Series Integrated Services Routers; you can
activate the licenses through the Cisco software activation process identified at http://www.cisco.com/go/sa.
IP Base: This technology package is available as default
Security (SEC) or Security with No Payload Encryption (SEC-NPE)
AppX: This license includes the DATA license feature set, Application Visibility and Control (AVC), and
Cisco Wide Area Application Services (WAAS).

prevent, and adapt to network security threats - the Cisco 1900 Series Integrated Services Routers facilitate secure
business transactions and collaboration.
The Cisco IOS Software Security technology package license for the Cisco 1900 Series offers a wide array of
common security features such as advanced application inspection and control, threat protection, and encryption
architectures for enabling more scalable and manageable VPN networks in one solution set. The Cisco 1941
Series offers native hardware-based encryption acceleration to provide greater IPSec throughput with less
overhead for the router processor when compared with software-based encryption solutions.
