*NPE is an image for exporting to countries that might have import restrictions on encryption technologies. It does not allow payload encryption. K9 image is used for the rest of the world. It consists of cryptographic features such as Secure Shell (SSH) Protocol and support for IP Security (IPSec).
There are four different software packages targeted to requirements in different places of the network, including campus and data center access, aggregation, and core.
The following are major feature highlights in each Cisco IOS Software package:
• IP Base: Includes basic routing (Routing Information Protocol [RIP], static routing, Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol [EIGRP] Stub, Protocol Independent Multicast [PIM] Stub), Layer 2 capabilities, manageability, security, IPv6 host support, and quality of service (QoS)
• IP Services: Adds advanced IP routing (Open Shortest Path First [OSPF], EIGRP, Border Gateway Protocol [BGP], PIM), Cisco TrustSec® security (MacSec, Secure Group Tagging(SGT), SGT Exchange Protocol (SXP), and Security Association Protocal (SAP)), Control and Monitoring Processor (CMP), and Web Cache Communication Protocol (WCCP)
• Advanced IP Services: Adds advanced IPv4 and IPv6 features, Secure Group Access Control Lists (SGACLs), Layer 3 VPN, and Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS)
• Advanced Enterprise Services: Full Cisco IOS Software features, including Ethernet over Multiple Protocol Label Switching (EoMPLS) and Virtual Private Lan Service (VPLS)
