Written by [Cisco] for use in their networking devices, such as routers. Purportedly the most ported OperatingSystem ever, since it gets ported to almost all devices [Cisco] develop internally. However, it is not ported generally to devices only sold with a Cisco label, but actually developed at subcontractors or acquired companies. |

! A selection of Cisco devices ''not'' running IOS |

|
|
|

Any device labeled [Linksys | http://www.linksys.com] by CiscoSystems: |
|
|
10 |
|
|
|
11 |
Some of these devices (most famously the [WRT54G]) run a version of Linux, |
|
|
12 |
for which Linksys has made the source code available on their website. |
|
|
13 |
There was a lot of controversy about this a while back, because initially they did not release the source. |
|
|
14 |
Other devices run custom firmwares as far as I know. |
|

Cisco 7xx: |
|
|
17 |
|
|
|
18 |
A Combinet product that was relabelled when Cisco acquired the company. |
|
|
19 |
Runs Combinet OS (yuck). It is no longer available and has been replaced by the Cisco 8xx. |

|
20 |
|
|
|
21 |
Cisco Catalyst 19xx: |
|
|

|
24 |
|
|
|
25 |
Cisco Catalyst 30xx: |
|
|
26 |
|
|
|

28 |
|
|
|
29 |
Cisco Catalyst 2926: |
|
|
30 |
|
|
|
31 |
Runs on CatOS. The other 29xx XL switches are different and run on IOS. |
|
|
32 |
|
|
|
33 |
Cisco Catalyst 50xx and 55xx: |
|
|
34 |
|
|
|
35 |
Runs on CatOS. The Route Switch Modules run on IOS. |
|
|
36 |
|
|
|
37 |
Older Cisco Catalyst 4000 and 6500 models: |
|
|
38 |
|
|
|
39 |
You used to have a choice of IOS or CatOS at install time. |
|
|
40 |
Earlier models had Route Switch Feature Cards that ran on IOS as a separate entity. |
|
|
41 |
|
|
|
42 |
Earlier versions of Cisco Aironet software on the 340 and 350 series: |
|
|
43 |
|
|
|
44 |
Some weird Menu Driven thing via terminal (yuck), but does have a good web configuration interface. |
|
|
45 |
Cisco have now released IOS for the 350 series units. |
|
|
46 |
The newer Cisco Aironet devices run on IOS (1200s, etc). |

The Cisco PIX Operating System (OS) is also known as __''Finesse''__ |
18 |

The environment is IOS-like, though the IOS FireWall commands and the PIX FireWall commands are completely different. |
