Cisco IOS (Cisco Internetwork
Operating System)
A Network Operating System (NOS) is the core system
of a server that provides applications and utilities to
enhance business operations. It facilitates the sharing
of resources like files, printers, and internet
connections in a networked environment.

Developed in the 1980s by William Yeager, an


engineer at Stanford University, the core function of
Cisco IOS is to enable data communications between
network nodes. Cisco IOS enables the administration,
operation and management of Cisco network devices.
key features:
 Interface configuration.
 Network management and monitoring.
 Quality of service (QoS).
 Routing.
 Security.
 Switching.
key features:
Cisco IOS offers dozens of additional services that an administrator
can use to improve the performance and security of network traffic.
Such services include authentication, encryption, firewall
capabilities, policy enforcement, deep packet inspection, intelligent
routing and proxy server capability. In Cisco's Integrated Services
Routers, IOS can also support call processing and unified
communications services.

In addition to the standard Cisco IOS, there are three primary


variants of the OS: IOS XE, IOS XR and NX-OS.
key features:
What is Cisco IOS based
on?
As proprietary software, Cisco IOS is not based on other
OSes, like Linux. It is a monolithic OS with a custom
kernel. However, newer incarnations, including IOS XE,
are based on a Linux kernel. This provides modularity
and other modern features absent in basic IOS,
including memory protection, virtualization support,
high availability (HA), scalability, automation
capabilities, enhanced security features and in-service
software upgrades
What is Cisco IOS
Firewall?
Cisco IOS Firewall is a security feature set available in
Cisco IOS. IOS Firewall provides integrated firewall
functionality directly within Cisco routers, enabling
simultaneous routing and firewall capabilities.
What is Cisco IOS
Firewall?
IOS Firewall includes the following features:

 Application inspection and control.


 Context-based access control.
 Disk OS protection.
 Intrusion detection system.
 URL filtering.
 Java blocking.
 Per-user authentication and authorization.
 Stateful packet inspection.
 Virtual private network integration.
What are Cisco IOS
commands?
Cisco IOS commands are used to configure, manage and
troubleshoot Cisco networking devices. Administrators can enter
these commands through Cisco IOS' command-line interface (CLI).
These commands can be categorized based on their functionalities,
such as global configuration, interface configuration, routing,
diagnostic and maintenance commands.

The specific commands and their syntax often vary depending on


the IOS version, the device type and the installed feature sets. IOS
commands include various subsets of arguments and keywords to
enable additional functionality.
