New and Changed Software Features in Cisco IOS XE 17.13.1a

Feature

Description

Application Performance Monitor

The Application Performance Monitor feature is a simplified framework that enables you to configure intent-based performance monitors. With this feature, you can view real-time, end-to-end application performance filtered by client segments, network segments, and server segments.

Cisco SD-Routing Cloud OnRamp for Multicloud

Cisco SD-Routing Cloud OnRamp for Multicloud extends enterprise WAN to public clouds. This multicloud solution helps to integrate public cloud infrastructure into the Cisco Catalyst SD-Routing devices. With these capabilities, the devices can access the applications hosted in the cloud.

Disable multi-part TLVs for ISIS

From Cisco IOS XE 17.13.1a, you can disable multi-part TLVs for prefix-reachability, router capability, and (MT)IS-Neighbor in ISIS by using the multi-part-tlv disable command.

Enhancements to BGP Maximum Prefix

  • Discard Extra Prefixes: This enhancement introduces the neighbor maximum prefix discard extra command to drop all excess prefixes received from the neighbor when the configured value of the prefixes exceed the maximum limit.

  • Logging enhancement: The logging system is enhanced to support a per neighbor logging time every 60 seconds.

Initiating GARP for NAT Mapping

This feature introduces support for configuring retry time intervals for GARP messages on the BD-VIF interface. You can configure this feature using the global ip arp nat-garp-retry and ip nat inside source static commands.

Schedule Software Upgrade on SD-Routing Devices

With this feature, you can upgrade the software image on the supported Cisco SD-Routing devices with an option to schedule the upgrade process at specified time. This allows you to avoid any downtime due to the software upgrade process.

SD-Routing Configuration Group

The Configuration Group feature provides a simple, reusable, and structured method to configure the SD-Routing device using Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Manager.

Segment Routing over IPv6 Dataplane

From Cisco IOS XE 17.13.1a, Segment Routing is supported over the IPv6 dataplane for Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) on L3VPN networks using On-Demand Next Hop (ODN).

Speed Test for SD-Routing Devices

Cisco SD-WAN Manager allows you to measure the network speed and available bandwidth between a device and an iPerf3 server. The speed tests measure upload speed from the source device to the selected or specified iPerf3 server, and measure download speed from the iPerf3 server to the source device.

Strength Enforcement for IKE Security Association (SA)

This feature ensures that the strength of the IKE (IKEv1 and IKEv2) SA encryption cipher is greater than or equal to the strength of its child IPsec SA encryption cipher.

To enable this feature, use the crypto ipsec ike sa-strength-enforcement command.

Support for Flexible NetFlow Application Visibility on SD-Routing Devices

The Flexible NetFlow (FNF) feature provides statistics on packets flowing through the device and helps to identify the tunnel or service VPNs. Also, it provides visibility for all the traffic that passes through the VPN0 on Cisco SD-Routing devices by using the Application Intelligence Engine (SAIE).

Support for Packet Capture for SD-Routing

This feature allows you to capture the bidirectional IPv6 traffic data to troubleshoot connectivity on the SD-Routing devices.

Support for Persistence of BGP Dynamic Neighbors

From IOS XE 17.13.1a, the device maintains the neighbor information even after the session is terminated. To configure this, use the bgp listen persistent command for all dynamic neighbors and bgp listen range peer-group persistent command for specific neighbors.

Support for Security-Enhanced Linux

SELinux (Security-Enhanced Linux) is a solution designed to incorporate a strong, flexible mandatory access control (MAC) architecture into Cisco IOS XE platforms.

From Cisco IOS XE 17.13.1a, SELinux is enabled by default in Enforcing mode for Cisco IOS XE platforms.

Support for Suite B ciphers with GET VPN

This enhancement introduces support for Suite B ciphers with GET VPN on the following router models: 

  • Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers

    • ASR1009-X + ESP200-X

  • Cisco Catalyst 8000V Edge Software

  • Cisco Catalyst 8200 Series Edge Platforms

    • C8200-1N-4T

    • C8300-1N1S-6T

  • Cisco Catalyst 8500 Series Edge Platforms

    • C8500-12X

    • C8500-20X6C

Using VASI in NTPv6 Environment

You can use the VRF-Aware Software Infrastructure Scale feature in the NTPv6 environment to support inter-VRF communication, such as access control lists (ACLs), Network Address Translation (NAT), policing, and zone-based firewalls, for MPLS traffic or IPv4 and IPv6 traffic flowing across two different Virtual Routing and Forwarding (VRF) instances. The VASI interfaces support redundancy of the Route Processor (RP) and Forwarding Processor (FP).

View Packet Drops History

From Cisco IOS XE 17.13.1a, you can use the show drops history qfp command to view the history of the QFP drops on the Cisco ASR 1000 Series and Catalyst 8500 Series Edge Platforms.

Cisco Unified Border Element (CUBE) Features

NAT Traversal using RTP Keepalive

From Cisco IOS XE 17.13.1a onwards, using RTP keepalive packets, CUBE supports media transmission in the NAT environment.
