Introduction

Cisco Catalyst 3850 Series Switches are the next generation of enterprise class stackable access layer switches, with the new and improved 480-Gbps StackWise-480 and Cisco StackPower. Security and application visibility and control are natively built into the switch.

Cisco Catalyst 3850 Series Switches also support full IEEE 802.3 at Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+), modular and field replaceable network modules, redundant fans, and power supplies. Cisco Catalyst 3850 Series Switches enhance productivity by enabling applications such as IP telephony and video for a true borderless network experience.

Cisco IOS XE,Cisco IOS XE Denali 16.x.x, and now Cisco IOS XE Everest 16.x.x, represent the continuing evolution of the preeminent Cisco IOS operating system. The Cisco IOS XE architecture and well-defined set of APIs extend the Cisco IOS software to improve portability across platforms and extensibility outside the Cisco IOS environment. The Cisco IOS XE software retains the same look and feel of the Cisco IOS software, while providing enhanced future-proofing and improved functionality.

Introduces support for Cisco TrustSec on LAN Base licenses.

See SGT Exchange Protocol over TCP (SXP)

(LAN Base, IP Base, and IP Services)

Easy QoS: match-all attributes

QoS group-based classification supports the match-all filter in class-maps for identifying data packets.

See Configuring QoS

(LAN Base, IP Base, and IP Services)

Flexible Netflow (FNF): IPv4 and IPv6 flow-monitor on the same interface

Enables you to associate multiple monitors of different traffic types, to an interface in the same direction.

See Configuring Flexible NetFlow (Apply a Flow to an Interface)

(IP Base and IP Services)

Multi-Gig (mGig) Ethernet: Auto-Speed Detection

mGig Ethernet supports multi-rate speeds where the ports exchange auto-negotiation pages to establish a link at the highest supported speed by both channels.

See Configuring Interface Charecteristics (Multigigabit Ethernet)

(LAN Base, IP Base, and IP Services)

3 VRF

Starting with this release, the 3 VRF feature is available at the IP Base license level.

It was previously available only at the IP Services license level.

(IP Base and IP Services)

  • Preboot Execution Environment Client (iPXE)
  • Zero-Touch Provisioning (ZTP)
  • Guest Shell
  • Python Scripting
  • Data model changes

Introduces the following capabilities and enhancements for Programmability in this release:

  • iPXE—An open Preboot eXecution Environment (PXE) client that allows a device to boot from a network boot image.

(LAN Base, IP Base, and IP Services)

  • ZTP—Open Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP) interface to allow devices to be provisioned and configured automatically, eliminating most of the manual labor involved with adding them to a network.

(LAN Base, IP Base, and IP Services)

  • Guest Shell—A secure LXC container that is an embedded Linux environment and enables you to develop and run Linux and custom Python applications for automated control and management of Cisco switches. Guest Shell is bundled with the software image (cat3k_caa-guestshell.<release name>.SPA.pkg)and can be installed using the guestshell enable command.

Note Beginning in Cisco IOS XE Everest 16.5.1a, the Web UI does not support wireless features.

Important Notes

  • Starting with Cisco IOS XE Denali 16.1.x, a DHCP client that includes option 61 (used by DHCP clients to specify their unique client identifier) in their DHCP discover/offer packet must accept the response message with option 61 from the DHCP server/relay. A client that fails to accept the response message with option 61, is not in compliance with RFC 6842 and requires a firmware upgrade.
  • Converged Access (CA) is not supported beyond Cisco IOS XE Denali 16.3.x.

On the Cisco Catalyst 3850 Series Switches, CA is supported in the Cisco IOS XE Denali 16.3.x software release, which has extended support for 40 months.

  • Starting with Cisco IOS XE Denali 16.3.x, Secure Shell (SSH) Version 1 is deprecated. Use SSH Version 2 instead.
  • Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) Bypass is available in Cisco IOS XE Release 3.6.3E, but is not supported in Cisco IOS XE Everest 16.5.1a
  • Cisco Plug-In for OpenFlow (OpenFlow 1.0 and 1.3) is available in Cisco IOS XE Release 3.7.3E, but is not supported in Cisco IOS XE Everest 16.5.1a
  • Cisco StackWise Virtual is available in the Cisco IOS XE Denali 16.3.x release train, starting with Cisco IOS XE Denali 16.3.3, but the feature is not supported in Cisco IOS XE Everest 16.5.1a.

Finding the Software Version and Feature Set

The package files for the Cisco IOS XE software are stored on the system board flash device (flash:).

You can use the show version privileged EXEC command to see the software version that is running on your switch.

note.gif

Noteblank.gif Although the show version output always shows the software image running on the switch, the model name shown at the end of this display is the factory configuration and does not change if you upgrade the software license.

You can also use the dir filesystem : privileged EXEC command to see the directory names of other software images that you might have stored in flash memory.

Upgrading the Switch Software

This section covers the following scenarios:

Automatic Boot Loader Upgrade

When you upgrade from any prior IOS 3.xE release to an IOS XE 16.x.x release for the first time, the boot loader may be automatically upgraded, based on the hardware version of the switch. If the boot loader is automatically upgraded, it will take effect on the next reload. If you go back to an IOS 3.xE release, your boot loader will not be downgraded. The updated boot loader supports all previous IOS 3.xE releases.

For subsequent IOS XE 16.x.x releases, if there is a new bootloader in that release, it may be automatically upgraded based on the hardware version of the switch when you boot up your switch with the new image for the first time.

caut.gif
Caution blank.gif Do not power cycle your switch during the upgrade.

 

Scenario
Automatic Boot Loader Response

If you boot Cisco IOS XE Everest 16.5.1a the first time

The boot loader may be upgraded to version 4.58. For example:

BOOTLDR: CAT3K_CAA Boot Loader (CAT3K_CAA-HBOOT-M) Version 4.58, RELEASE SOFTWARE (P)
 

If the automatic boot loader upgrade occurs while booting Cisco IOS XE Everest 16.5.1a, you will see the following on the console:

%IOSXEBOOT-Wed-###: (rp/0): Nov 2 20:46:19 Universal 2016 PLEASE DO NOT POWER CYCLE ### BOOT LOADER UPGRADING
%IOSXEBOOT-loader-boot: (rp/0): upgrade successful

Automatic Microcode Upgrade

During an IOS image upgrade or downgrade on a PoE or UPoE switch, the microcode is updated to reflect applicable feature enhancements and bug fixes. Do not restart the switch during the upgrade or downgrade process.

With the Cisco IOS XE Denali 16.x.x and the Cisco IOS XE Everest 16.x.x releases, it takes approximately an additional 4 minutes to complete the microcode upgrade in addition to the normal reload time. The microcode update occurs only during an image upgrade or downgrade on PoE or UPoE switches. It does not occur during switch reloads or on non-PoE switches.

The following console messages are displayed during microcode upgrade:

Front-end Microcode IMG MGR: found 4 microcode images for 1 device.

Software Install Image to Flash

Step 4blank.gif Use the request platform software package install switch all file flash: new auto-copy command to install the target image to flash. We recommend copying the image to a TFTP server or the flash drive of the active switch.

If you point to an image on the flash or USB drive of a member switch (instead of the active), you must specify the exact flash or USB drive - otherwise installation fails. For example, if the image is on the flash drive of member switch 3:

request platform software package install switch all file flash-3:cat3k_caa-universalk9.16.03.05.SPA.bin new auto-copy
<output truncated>
Expanding image file: flash-3: cat3k_caa-universalk9.16.03.05.SPA.bin

Software Install Image to Flash

Step 4blank.gif Use the request platform software package install switch all file flash: auto-copy command to install the target image to flash. We recommend copying the image to a TFTP server or the flash drive of the active switch.

If you point to an image on the flash or USB drive of a member switch (instead of the active), you must specify the exact flash or USB drive - otherwise installation fails. For example, if the image is on the flash drive of member switch 3:

request platform software package install switch all file flash-3:cat3k_caa-universalk9.16.03.05.SPA.bin new auto-copy
<output truncated>
Expanding image file: flash-3: cat3k_caa-universalk9.16.03.05.SPA.bin

Feature Sets

The Cisco Catalyst 3850 Series Switches supports three different feature sets:

  • LAN Base feature set—Provides basic Layer 2+ features, including access control lists (ACLs) and quality of service (QoS), and up to 255 VLANs.
  • IP Base feature set—Provides Layer 2+ and basic Layer 3 features (enterprise-class intelligent services). These features include access control lists (ACLs), quality of service (QoS), static routing, EIGRP stub routing, IP multicast routing, Routing Information Protocol (RIP), basic IPv6 management, the Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) Protocol (for routed access only), and support for wireless controller functionality. The license supports up to 4094 VLANs.
  • IP Services feature set—Provides a richer set of enterprise-class intelligent services and full IPv6 support. It includes IP Base features plus Layer 3 routing (IP unicast routing and IP multicast routing). The IP Services feature set includes protocols such as the Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP), the Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) Protocol, and support for wireless controller functionality. The license supports up to 4094 VLANs.

For more information about the features, see the product data sheet at this URL:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps12686/products_data_sheets_list.html

Scaling Guidelines

 

Table 7 Scaling Guidelines
System Feature
Maximum Limit

Number of HTTP session redirections system-wide

Up to 100 clients per second

Number of HTTPS session redirections system-wide

Up to 20 clients per second

Limitations and Restrictions

  • Limitations for YANG data modeling—A maximum of 20 simultaneous NETCONF sessions are supported.
  • Restrictions for QoS:

–blank.gif When configuring QoS queuing policy, the sum of the queuing buffer should not exceed 100%.

–blank.gif For QoS policies, only switched virtual interfaces (SVI) are supported for logical interfaces.

–blank.gif QoS policies are not supported for port-channel interfaces, tunnel interfaces, and other logical interfaces.

  • Starting with Cisco IOS XE Denali 16.3.1, Centralized Management Mode (CMM) is no longer supported.
  • You cannot configure NetFlow export using the Ethernet Management port (g0/0).
  • Smart Install — Although the commands are visible on the CLI, the Smart Install feature is not supported and will be deprecated in a later release. Enter the no vstack command in global configuration mode and disable the feature. Use the Cisco Plug-n-Play feature instead.
  • Flex Links are not supported. We recommend that you use spanning tree protocol (STP) as the alternative.
  • Outdoor access points are supported only when they are in Local mode.
  • Restrictions for Cisco TrustSec:

–blank.gif Dynamic SGACL download is limited to 6KB per destination group tag (DGT).

–blank.gif Cisco TrustSec can be configured only on physical interfaces, not on logical interfaces.

–blank.gif Cisco TrustSec cannot be configured on a pure bridging domain with IPSG feature enabled. You must either enable IP routing or disable the IPSG feature in the bridging domain.

  • Restriction for VLAN: It is advisable to have well-defined segregation while defining data and voice domain during switch configuration and to maintain a data VLAN different from voice VLAN across the switch stack. If the same VLAN is configured for data and voice domains on an interface, the resulting high CPU utilization might affect the device.
  • When a logging discriminator is configured and applied to a device, memory leak is seen under heavy syslog or debug output. The rate of the leak is dependent on the quantity of logs produced. In extreme cases, the device may crash. As a workaround, disable the logging discriminator on the device.
  • For the WS-C3850-12X48U-L, WS-C3850-12X48U-S and WS-C3850-12X48U-E switch models, a maximum of 28 ports are available for UPoE connections.
  • When the device is running SCP (Secure Copy Protocol) and SSH cryptographic operations, expect high CPU until the SCP read process is completed. SCP supports file transfers between hosts on a network and uses SSH for the transfer.

Since SCP and SSH operations are currently not supported on the hardware crypto engine, running encryption and decryption process in software causes high CPU. The SCP and SSH processes can take upto 40 or 50 percent of CPU memory, but they do not cause the device to shutdown.

Caveats

Caveats describe unexpected behavior in Cisco IOS releases. Caveats listed as open in a prior release are carried forward to the next release as either open or resolved.

Cisco Bug Search Tool

The Bug Search Tool (BST), which is the online successor to Bug Toolkit, is designed to improve the effectiveness in network risk management and device troubleshooting. The BST allows partners and customers to search for software bugs based on product, release, and keyword, and aggregates key data such as bug details, product, and version. The tool has a provision to filter bugs based on credentials to provide external and internal bug views for the search input.

To view the details of a caveat listed in the open and resolved lists in this section, click on the identifier.

To access the BST (use your Cisco user ID and password) go to https://tools.cisco.com/bugsearch/. Enter the bug ID in the Search For: field.
