Introduction
One of the primary architectural enhancements of the Cisco 1800, 2800, and 3800 series integrated services router is the integration of USB ports to provide increased flexibility and simplicity when delivering different applications and services.

Introduction cntd.
To take advantage of two new features available by the USB ports, Cisco requires a minimum IOS version 12.3(14)T.
These features include: The USB eToken, not a Cisco product, sold by
Aladdin knowledge Systems www.aladdin.com/cisco
The USB Flash memoryhttp://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/modules/ps6247/product_data_sheet0900aecd80232473.html

How The USB etoken Works
The USB eToken uses smart card technology to protect a small area of memory.
It grants access using a personal identification number (PIN).
The USB eToken is inserted in a USB port. The user enters the PIN and unlocks the USB
eToken, then user retrieves the credentials and copies them into running memory.
The router erases the credentials from running memory, as soon as the USB eToken is removed from the USB port

USB flash memory
The Cisco USB flash memory module can be used to store an image or configuration file. Unlike the USB eToken, the Cisco USB flash memory module is nonsecure; but, is available in 64-MB, 128-MB, and 256-MB capacities.
The Cisco 1800, 2800 and 3800 routers supports booting directly from a USB device.

Connecting a USB Module to the Router USB Port
To connect a Cisco USB flash memory module or the Aladdin USB eToken to a router USB port, simply insert the module into the port as shown below. The module can be inserted in only one way, and it can be inserted or removed whether the router is powered up or not.
Note:USB hubs are not supported on Cisco Access routers

Connecting a USB Module to the Router USB Port (cntd.)
Once you insert a USB token into the port (and IOS release 12.4 recognizes tokens up to at least 1GB), you get a generic storage device (usbflash0: and/or usbflash1:) that can be used to upgrade your router image.
Q. Can I boot an image directly from the USB Flash module?
A. Yes. USB drivers have been added to rommon, starting with version 12.4(13r)

IOS Upgrade from USB
Your router already has an image on it when you receive it. Nevertheless, you may want to load a different image onto the router at some point. For example, you may want to upgrade your software to the latest release, or you may want to use the same Cisco IOS release for all the routers in a network.

IOS Upgrade from USB
First determine which Cisco IOS releases and feature sets support your platform and required features.
Go to Cisco Feature Navigator at http://www.cisco.com/go/fn.
Next choose the Cisco IOS release and system image to which you want to upgrade

IOS Upgrade from USB
If the USB flash memory does not come preloaded with the required IOS, download the required IOS to your PC using your CCO account
Insert the USB card into your PC and copy the downloaded IOS to the USB card
Confirm that the IOS is present in your USB card after you insert it back into your router.
