Release Notes for Cisco NCS 6000 Series Routers, IOS XR Release 7.4.1

The Cisco Network Convergence System (NCS) 6000 series router delivers outstanding network agility, packet optical convergence, and a system scale measured in petabits per second. It also facilitates the build-out of next-generation core to:

  • support elastic capacity at the lowest total ownership cost

  • deliver high-bandwidth mobile, video, and cloud services

Running the Cisco IOS XR operating system, Cisco's innovative virtualized operating environment, the Cisco NCS 6000 series router advances the concept of distributed routing and virtualization. With Cisco Virtualized IOS XR, the Cisco NCS 6000 series router brings new levels of programmability and virtualization to:

  • enhance application service offerings

  • increase provisioning speed

  • optimize network economics

The Cisco NCS 6000 series router is engineered for environmental efficiency, with the use of adaptable power consumption. The Cisco NCS 6000 series router is powered by the Cisco nPower Network Processor Units (NPU). These technologies aid the Cisco NCS 6000 series router to achieve the lowest carbon footprint in service provider routing.

The Cisco NCS 6008 router, part of the Cisco NCS 6000 series routers, is the next-generation core routing system that provides industry-leading 8 Tbps of full-duplex network bandwidth through single chassis with eight line cards per chassis.

The Cisco NCS 6008 router runs on Cisco IOS XR software with Linux as the underlying host operating system. A Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) hypervisor provides a virtualized environment to independently run system administration and routing functions on separate virtual machines. This provision makes the new system versatile and robust, and provides immense flexibility for future expansion without the need for a complete system overhaul.

A multi-slice architecture of line cards enables the system to be configured in a mixed operating mode, simultaneously supporting traffic at 10 Gbps and 100 Gbps on slice-level granularity.

For a list of software caveats that apply to this Release, see the Caveats section. The caveats are updated for every release and are described at http://www.cisco.com.

What's New in Cisco IOS XR Release 7.4.1

Cisco is continuously enhancing the product with every release and this section covers a brief description of key features and enhancements. It also includes links to detailed documentation, where available.

Feature Description

IP Addresses and Services

Virtual IP Address in Network Stack

This feature enables the network stack to support the use of virtual IP addresses by IOS XR or third-party applications that utilize the Linux networking stack. Virtual addresses can now be configured to access a router from the management network using a single virtual IP address.

Programmability

CLI to YANG Mapping Tool

This tool provides a quick reference for IOS XR CLIs and a corresponding YANG data model that could be used.

New command introduced for this feature: yang describe

Transitioning Native Models to Unified Models (UM)

Unified models are CLI-based YANG models that are designed to replace the native schema-based models. UM models are generated directly from the IOS XR CLIs and mirror them in several ways. This results in improved usability and faster adoption of YANG models.

You can access the new unified models from the Github repository.

Unique Commit ID for Configuration State

The network orchestrator is a central point of management for the network and typical workflow involves synchronizing the configuration states of the routers it manages. Loading configurations for comparing the states involves unnecessary data and subsequent comparisons are load intensive. This feature synchronizes the configuration states between the orchestrator and the router using a unique commit ID that the router maintains for each configuration commit. The orchestrator retrieves this commit ID from the router using NETCONF Remote Procedure Calls (RPCs) to identify whether the router has the latest configuration.

System Management

BGP Egress Peer Engineering (EPE) over CSI interfaces

This feature allows a BGP neighbor established over a CSI interface to be allocated a BGP Egress Peer Engineering (EPE) segment.

Explicit Binding SID over CSI Interfaces

This feature allows you to configure an explicit binding SID (BSID) over a CSI interface.

System Security

Admin Access for NETCONF and gRPC Sessions

This feature allows all authorized users on XR VM to access the admin data on the router through NETCONF or gRPC interface, similar to accessing the CLI. This functionality works by internally mapping the task group of the user on XR VM to a predefined group on System Admin VM. Therefore, the NETCONF and gRPC users can access the admin-related information on the router even if their user profiles do not exist on System Admin VM.

Prior to this release, only those users who were authorized on XR VM could access System Admin VM through CLI, by using the admin command. Users that were not configured on System Admin VM were denied access through NETCONF or gRPC interface.

Hold-Down Timer for TACACS+

TACACS+ servers provide AAA services to the user. In the event a TACACS+ server becomes unreachable, the router sends the client request to another server, leading to considerable delay in addressing the requests. To prevent this delay, you can set a hold-down timer on the router. The timer gets triggered after the router marks the TACACS+ server as down. During this period, the router does not select the server that is down for processing any client requests. When the timer expires, the router starts using that TACACS+ server for client transactions. This feature improves latency in providing AAA services to the user by limiting the client requests from being sent to unresponsive servers.

This feature introduces the holddown-time command.

NETCONF Access Control Model (NACM) for Protocol Operations and Authorization

NACM is defined in AAA subsystem to manage access control for NETCONF Remote Procedure Calls (RPCs). NACM addresses the need to authenticate the user or user groups, authorize whether the user has the required permission to perform the operation. With this feature, you can configure the authorization rules, groups and rule lists containing multiple groups and rules using CLI commands in addition to existing support for YANG data models.

This feature also introduces Cisco-IOS-XR-um-aaa-nacm-cfg.yang unified data model to configure user access and privileges. You can access this data model from the Github repository.

Telemetry

Filter Telemetry Data Using Regex Keys in Sensor Paths

Streaming huge telemetry data can create congestion in the network.

With this feature, you can use the regular expression (regex) keys in the sensor path configuration on the router. The keys limit the amount of data that can be streamed, thereby ensuring better bandwidth utilization.

In-band Telemetry with Multi-VRF and Bundle VLAN Interfaces

With this feature, in-band telemetry data is sent over the data ports of line cards using the gRPC protocol. This method of data streaming overcomes bandwidth limitations that are otherwise seen when data is sent via the management ports. This feature can be enabled on more than one VRF entity. In addition, data can be transmitted and received from the router to the collector via VLAN IDs configured on the router and the collector.

Virtual Private Network

PWHE Load Balancing using FAT Label

This feature allows you to generate a flow-aware transport (FAT) label for the traffic going out of the PWHE-L3 interface on the PE device. P routers use the FAT label to load balance the traffic based on the flow but not on the VC label. This feature provides a better traffic distribution across ECMP paths.

Caveats

Caveats describe unexpected behavior in Cisco IOS XR Software releases. Severity-1 caveats are the most critical caveats; severity-2 caveats are less critical.

Minimum Firmware Requirement

The following table provides the procedures and resources for minimum firmware requirements:

After completing an Return Material Authorization (RMA), upgrade the firmware as per the matrix in this link, which also links to PDF copies of the IOS XR Firmware Upgrade Guides

http://www.cisco.com/web/Cisco_IOS_XR_Software/index.html

For the upgrade procedure, see the Performing System Upgrade and Installing Feature Packages chapter of the Cisco NCS 6008 System Setup and Software Installation Guide

Other Important Information

  • To uniquely identify a line card as a Cisco device, all Cisco IOS XR supported platforms are shipped with a non-tamper-able Trust Anchor Module (TAM) in the hardware. The Cisco Trust Anchor module (TAm) helps verify that Cisco hardware is authentic and provides additional security services. This feature is supported from Cisco IOS XR Release 7.1.x on Cisco NCS 6000 platform.

  • From Release 6.0, the onePK toolkit is not supported.

  • Country-specific laws, regulations, and licenses—In certain countries, use of these products may be prohibited and subject to laws, regulations, or licenses, including requirements applicable to the use of the products under telecommunications and other laws and regulations; customers must comply with all such applicable laws in the countries in which they intend to use the products.

  • BFD limitation—If the current PPS (packets per second) is more than 7000 packets per line card (LC) then on upgrading the Cisco IOS XR software to release 5.2.5 or later the BFD sessions may shut down. You can avoid this scenario by adjusting the PPS per LC so that the load on a LC does not exceed more than 7000 PPS.

    To know the current load (PPS value), use show bfd summary command. Use the bfd address-family ipv4 minimum-interval command to configure BFD timer.

  • Field replacable unit (FRU) removal—For all card removal and replacement (including fabric cards, line cards, fan controller, and RP) follow the instructions provided by Cisco to avoid impact to traffic. See the Cisco Network Convergence System 6000 Series Routers Hardware Installation Guide for procedures.

  • Exceeding Cisco testing—If you intend to test beyond the combined maximum configuration tested and published by Cisco, contact your Cisco Technical Support representative to discuss how to engineer a large-scale configuration for your purpose.

    Production Software Maintenance Updates (SMUs)

    A production SMU is a SMU that is formally requested, developed, tested, and released. Production SMUs are intended for use in a live network environment and are formally supported by the Cisco TAC and the relevant development teams. Software bugs identified through software recommendations or Bug Search Tools are not a basis for production SMU requests.

    For information on production SMU types, refer the Production SMU Types section of the IOS XR Software Maintenance Updates (SMUs) guide.
