Feature Area Map for Cisco IOS Software Release 12.4 Cross-Platform Feature Sets
The cross-platform feature sets are tailored to ease the choice of feature sets in a multiplatform environment. They were initially available for Cisco 1700, 2600XM, 3725, and 3745 series routers and the Cisco 2691 Multiservice Platform and are now also available for the Cisco 1800, 2800, and 3800 series routers. The cross-platform feature sets simplify the image selection process by providing similar functions across platform boundaries.
