  Cisco IOS - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cisco IOS (originally Internetwork Operating System) is the software used on the vast majority of Cisco Systems routers and all current Cisco network switches.
IOS is a package of routing, switching, internetworking and telecommunications functions tightly integrated with a multitasking operating system.
Cisco IOS has a "monolithic" architecture, which means that it runs as a single image and all processes share the same memory space.

 oreilly.com -- Online Catalog: CISCO IOS in a Nutshell
Cisco's routers come in all shapes and sizes and almost all of them, from the smallest to the largest, run the IOS operating system.
CISCO IOS is essentially an ad-hoc effort that lost logical form some years ago.
CISCO IOS on line help is cryptic at best, but the command line reference covers command by command with excellent configuration examples.

 Cisco IOS: Internetwork Operating System
Cisco IOS comprises a sophisticated suite of networking capabilities that resides at the heart of such internetworking devices as standalone routers, router modules for shared-media hubs, switches, PC and workstation file servers, multiservice WAN access switches, and ATM-capable PBXs.
Cisco is working with other desktop software TCP/IP and computer vendors to put components of the Cisco IOS architecture in servers, allowing bandwidth reservation and queuing technologies to extend from the server all the way to the end-user station.
IOS also includes scalable routing protocols to avoid needless congestion, overcome inherent protocol limitations and bypass many of the obstacles that arise because of the scope and geographical dispersion of an internetwork.

Cisco devices can act as a DHCP server, providing host configuration information to clients, or they can forward DHCP and BootP requests as a relay agent.
Cisco routers are configured to process and accept DHCP packets by default, therefore the command service dhcp does not appear in the running configuration display, and only the command for the disabled feature, no service dhcp, will appear in the running configuration display when the feature is disabled.
Cisco has published detailed information about upgrading affected Cisco IOS software to correct this vulnerability.

 Cisco reveals IOS vulnerabilities - Network World
Cisco this week issued two warnings of IOS security holes - one could allow unauthorized users to access a network, the other could leave IOS-based Cisco devices vulnerable to a denial-of-service attack.
The denial-of-service vulnerability concerns routers or other IOS devices running Secure Shell (SSH) servers for remote management; several conditions could allow an attacker to send commands that cause the router to reload, or that exploit a memory leak problem that depletes the device’s resources, Cisco says.
Cisco has provided an IOS upgrade that fixes the problem.
