Cisco IOS Release 11.1(8)CA1 is an Early Deployment release of software to support new features within Cisco's High End Routing Products. The Previous release, 11.1(8)CA, has a renumbering issue with MIP, RSP_MIP and RSP_POSIP microcode. The MIP, RSP_MIP and RSP_POSIP microcode fix has been tested and released into Cisco IOS Release 11.1(8)CA1. The following fixes are also included in 11.1(8)CA1:

Problem Description

Microcode Release

• Inadvertently the MIP , RSP_MIP, and RSP_POSIP microcode committed to the previous release, Cisco IOS 11.1(8)CA, was an Engineering numbering scheme vs. the standard microcode numbering scheme (see Background Information below).
