Cisco IOS download feature set question
What is the difference between the feature sets IP/FW 3DES and IP/FW/PLUS 3DES, and what is the easiest way to find out on my Cisco 831 router? I can't find any information on this, and it doesn't make any sense to me. It sounds like the same thing twice.

Great work! I found the side by side comparison. One more question. What determines what feature set can be used? Is it a function of software or hardware? In other words, is it up to you whether you decide to install the IP/FW 3DES or the IP/FW/PLUS 3DES feature set, or does the hardware mandate it?
Every IOS have a hardware needed for it (generally: more functions = more RAM, more Flash), you can check detailed info about IOS at:
(Cisco Feature Navigator), info about avalaibility of IOS features
www.cisco.com/web/go/fn
(Cisco Software Selector), great info about memory requirements for the IOS

or, directly at the documentation for your router, for more specific info.
