New Software Features in Cisco IOS Release 12.3(14)YT
Cisco IOS Software Release 12.3(14)YT supports Advanced IP services, including the features described in this section.
Basic MPLS Forwarding and Signaling
This feature allows service providers to manually provision their MPLS networks, potentially increasing security and determinism throughout the network. The feature is similar in high-level concept to Static IP Routes currently available in IOS. Functions include the following:
•
Label Switching (Swap). Label Stacking: Must support a label stack five deep, to enable technologies such as MPLS VPN, MPLS Traffic Engineering, and Fast Reroute.
•
MPLS Explicit Null Label
•
MPLS Implicit Null Label
•
Penultimate Hop Popping
•
Label Merging
•
LSP Stitching: Provides a mechanism to connect two different LSPs, each in different traffic engineering domains, into a functionally single end-to-end LSP
Label Distribution Protocol (LDP)
This feature adheres to IETF standard draft-ietf-mpls-ldp-1.0.txt and "Extensions to RSVP for LSP Tunnels" (draft-ietf-mpls-rsvp-lsp-tunnel-08.txt). Includes the following capabilities:
•
Downstream unsolicited label advertisement is supported, along with transport of LDP LSPs over an RSVP-TE tunnel/LSP
•
Interoperable, standards-based dynamic LSP setup and teardown between MPLS-enabled devices from Cisco and third-party vendors.
•
Best-effort path selection
•
Backwards-compatibility with TDP-based core networks, allowing interoperability with Cisco routers running TDP while allowing use of LDP only on edge OSR routers
Resource Reservation Protocol (RSVP)
RSVP supports strict and loose explicit routes and bandwidth reservation. It provides explicitly created, source-routed path creation and teardown for guaranteed bandwidth reservation between two nodes end-to-end. The MPLS label specifies the CoS, while the EXP bits in the MPLS header signify the drop precedence within the service class, including IP ToS Mapping to LSPs. Multi-VC Mode L-LSP for ATM Deluxe on FlexWAN and on Blacktail. E-LSP. IP or Ethernet packets define the CoS and map the CoS into the EXP bits of an MPLS header. This value is then used to select priority queues, scheduling and drop thresholds, including IP ToS Mapping to MPLS EXP Bits, IP DSCP Mapping to MPLS EXP Bits, 802.1p Mapping to MPLS EXP Bits, and ACLs. This feature also includes mechanisms for traffic classification and security and is used to classify traffic for QoS application, and to permit/deny traffic access into an MPLS network.
Congestion Management
Congestion management provides fair queue servicing of variable ToS, DSCP or 802.1p values, as expressed in the MPLS EXP bits of the header, strict priority queues, and class-based scheduling and link bandwidth guarantees. Classification is based on relative ToS, DSCP or 802.1p values, as expressed in the MPLS EXP bits of the header.
Congestion Avoidance
Congestion avoidance includes selective congestion control on a hop-by-hop basis, using a weighted average queue depth to determine drop probability. Drop thresholds are based on relative ToS, DSCP or 802.1p values, as expressed in the MPLS EXP bits of the header.
Packet Marking, Policing and Shaping
Packet Marking, Policing, and shaping is used to classify and limit traffic according to pre-defined traffic policies, on ingress and egress from an interface. It supports class of service for RSVP in adherence to IETF draft standards "Extensions to RSVP-TE and CR-LDP for support of Diff-Serv-aware MPLS Traffic Engineering" (draft-ietf-mpls-diff-te-ext-01.txt) and "Requirements for support of Diff-Serv-aware MPLS Traffic Engineering" (draft-ietf-mpls-diff-te-reqts-00.txt).
MPLS Traffic Engineering
This capability adheres to IETF RFC 2702, "Requirements for Traffic Engineering Over MPLS." It supports RSVP-initiated Traffic Engineered Tunnels - Routing with Resource Reservation (RRR), OSPF-TE Single Area, ISIS-TE Single Area.
Guaranteed Bandwidth Traffic Engineering Tunnels (GB-TE)
GB-TE extends MPLS Traffic Engineering capabilities to provide additional constraint-based routing and admission control functionality. GB-TE builds upon traditional TE by introducing the concept of an additional class of service for specifically guaranteed bandwidth, enabling delivery of QoS services for customers that rely upon signaled QoS instead of provisioned QoS. This enables service providers to provide firm bandwidth commitments without fear of accidental over provisioning as a premium QoS service. Extends OSPF and ISIS to advertise available GB-TE bandwidth, in addition to available regular TE bandwidth.
TE-RSVP
RSVP was developed to fit in the existing and enduring IP QoS model defined by various working groups in the IETF. RSVP defines a small number of QoS parameters that are mapped to the underlying data link layers. Supporting the IP QoS model is important for two reasons: First, the relative simplicity of the IP QoS model enables it to be supported over all existing Layer 2 technologies. Second, given that IP-based services will provide the majority of future revenue for service providers, interoperability at the boundary of IP and MPLS networks is of paramount importance. Using RSVP in MPLS networks provides a QoS model designed to run over a variety of technologies and optimized to support IP applications, both of which are necessary to build a consistent, workable, end-to-end IP QoS service.
MPLS DiffServ-Aware Traffic Engineering (DS-TE)
DS-TE is an enhancement to MPLS TE that introduces the concept of class types to TE. Each participating link advertises the amount of available bandwidth of each class type on that link. When the constraint-based-routing process is executed for a new tunnel, a bandwidth constraint of a particular class type can be defined as one of the criteria to be used for the path selection. The admission control process carried using RSVP at each hop is performed against the available bandwidth of the specific class type.
MPLS-VPN
MPLS VPN support includes Layer 3 VPN according to IETF RFC 2547 and RFC 2547bis (draft-rosen-rfc2547bis-02.txt), PE-PE IBGP Routing, PE-CE Routing, MPLS VPN Support for EBGP, MPLS VPN Support for Static Routes, MPLS VPN Support for OSPF, and MPLS VPN Support for RIPv2.
Guaranteed Bandwidth VPN
Guaranteed bandwidth is a mechanism to extend the concept of basic MPLS VPNs by creating point-to-point services with tightly defined and controlled quality of service. This includes Fast VRF Convergence, VRF Route Limiting, BGP Site of Origin, BGP Hub and Spoke, CLI Command to Enter VRF Descriptions, VRF-specific Static ARP Entries, Multiple FIB Tables (MFIB), and 802.1Q VLAN-to-VRF Mapping.
Interprovider VPN
Interprovider VPN is a mechanism for placing two or more MPLS PE devices into the same VPN, though each PE node might reside in different Autonomous Systems (AS) with an EBGP connection between the two ASs.
BGP Attributes
It is possible to test BGP operation with specific attributes configured and passed. Attributes include Site of Origin (SOO) and Hub and Spoke
MPLS VPN Support for EIGRP (PE/CE)
The MPLS VPN support for EIGRP between Provider Edge (PE) and Customer Edge (CE) feature provides the network operator with the capability to transparently connect EIGRP customer networks through an MPLS-enabled service provider Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) network. EIGRP routes are redistributed as internal routes through BGP across a Virtual Private Network (VPN). This feature is configured only on PE routers within the service provider BGP network. Customer networks can connect to each other through a MPLS VPN, which is configured within a service provider backbone (BGP network). The MPLS VPN support for EIGRP between Provider Edge (PE) and Customer Edge (CE) feature, when used within an MPLS-enabled service provider backbone, allows several EIGRP sites to connect seamlessly. EIGRP routes are converted to BGP routes and transported through the service provider backbone with the use of multiprotocol (mBGP) extended community attributes. The integration is transparent to the EIGRP sites, which appear as a single EIGRP network.
VRF Aware IPSec
Network-based IPSec VPNs are an integrated solution for allowing remote access to the MPLS network. VRF-aware IPSec allows service providers and enterprise customers to setup per-VRF IKE/IPSec profiles and key matches. This enables any-to-any IPSec connectivity through a single global address. VRF-aware IPSec extends the scalability of the remote access solution.
Per-VRF AAA
Using the Per VRF AAA feature, Internet Service Providers (ISPs) can partition authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA) services based on Virtual Route Forwarding (VRF).
DHCP Relay VRF Aware
In some environments, a relay agent resides in a network element that also has access to one or more MPLS VPNs. A DHCP server that wants to offer service to DHCP clients on those different VPNs needs to know the VPN in which each client resides. The network element that contains the relay agent typically knows about the VPN association of the DHCP client and includes this information in the relay agent information option. The DHCP Relay-MPLS VPN support feature allows the relay agent to forward this necessary VPN-related information to the DHCP server using the following three sub-options of the DHCP relay agent information option: VPN identifier; Subnet selection; and Server identifier override.
On Demand Address Pools (ODAP)
ODAP automates the expansion of IP address pools for VPNs, enabling service providers to more effectively manage IP address spaces across multiple VPNs. With NAT and ODAP for MPLS VPNs, service providers can ensure their enterprise customers that the integrity of existing enterprise addressing schemes will be maintained once managed inside the service provider network, and that they will have access to the same robust functionality as in the enterprise environment.
NAT for MPLS VPNs (VRF-aware NAT)
NAT for MPLS VPNs creates unique translations per VPN, allowing access to shared services even though IP addresses overlap. Benefits include increased SP revenues with outsourcing of NAT services; efficient shared services delivery; simpler central management of resources; reduced network complexity and costs for the enterprise.
Carrier Supporting Carrier (CsC) VPN
CsC VPNs are a mechanism for supporting the concept of hierarchical VPNs, by defining two new VPN layers for service provider networks: backbone carriers and customer carriers. In this architecture, the backbone carrier uses a VPN to carry all of the traffic of its customer carrier, which in turn is free to provision its own VPNs within the higher-level VPN to support its own customers.
Ethernet over MPLS
Ethernet over MPLS complies with IETF Draft Standards "Transport of Layer 2 Frames Over MPLS" (draft-martini-l2circuit-trans-mpls-05.txt) and "Encapsulation Methods for Transport of Layer 2 Frames Over MPLS" (draft-martini-l2circuit-encap-mpls-01.txt).
Frame Relay over MPLS
Frame relay over MPLS complies with IETF Draft Standards "Transport of Layer 2 Frames Over MPLS" (draft-martini-l2circuit-trans-mpls-05.txt) and "Encapsulation Methods for Transport of Layer 2 Frames Over MPLS" (draft-martini-l2circuit-encap-mpls-01.txt).
HDLC/PPP over MPLS
HDLC/PPP over MPLS complies with IETF Draft Standards "Transport of Layer 2 Frames Over MPLS" (draft-martini-l2circuit-trans-mpls-05.txt) and "Encapsulation Methods for Transport of Layer 2 Frames Over MPLS" (draft-martini-l2circuit-encap-mpls-01.txt).
ATM AAL5 over MPLS
ATM AAL5 over MPLS complies with IETF Draft Standards "Transport of Layer 2 Frames Over MPLS" (draft-martini-l2circuit-trans-mpls-05.txt) and "Encapsulation Methods for Transport of Layer 2 Frames Over MPLS" (draft-martini-l2circuit-encap-mpls-01.txt).
Any-to-Any Connectivity over MPLS
Any-to-any connectivity over MPLS provides arbitrary Layer 2 VPN connectivity between dissimilar endpoints enabling them to connect to Frame Relay endpoints over MPLS.
Fast Reroute
Fast reroute provides 50 ms link restoration, link-level protection, and node-level protection.
LSP Preemption

Symptoms: A router may reload while executing the show ip nbar protocol-discovery command.
Conditions: NBAR protocol-discovery is enabled on the Virtual-Template interface.
Workaround: There is no workaround.
•
CSCeh61857
Symptom: Unable to configure anything under non-dot11 subinterface, including IP address.
Workaround: None before code change.
•
CSCeh92096
Bridge MIB not Populated.
•
CSCei13397
Symptom: Traceback messages are seen during bootup.
Conditions: Diffie-Hellman group 2 or 5 is configured for IPSec.
Workaround: There is no workaround.
•
CSCei16040
VendorType and ParentRelPos of ENTITY-MIB displays incorrect values.
•
CSCsb43655
Symptoms: Some incoming packets that are larger than 1400 bytes are incorrectly counted as "input errors" on an ATM interface. An ATM error debug reports an "ATM0: AAL5 rx errors (status = 0C100000)" message, which suggests congestion occurs while cells pass through the ATM interface.
Workaround: There is no workaround.
•
CSCei21607
Symptom: A Cisco router configured for IP NAT may send "ALIGN-3-SPURIOUS: Spurious memory access" to the log.
Workaround: There is no workaround.
•
CSCeh35823
Symptoms: When a router detects "invalid identity" failures while decrypting IPsec packets, a memory leak occurs for the packet memory associated with the failed packets.
Conditions: This symptom is observed only when an "invalid identity" error occurs, which is an uncommon error that indicates that the originating router does not send packets according to what was originally negotiated. However, if there is another error that causes a "bad" decryption, the packet could be invalid and may also cause the symptom to occur.
Workaround: There is no workaround.
•
CSCeh46867
Unmatched SSID probe request response causes TX stuck.
•
CSCei27330
Symptoms: A router that is configured for Dynamic Multipoint VPN (DMVPN) may frequently generate the following error message:
%SYS-2-BADSHARE: Bad refcount in datagram_done.
Conditions: This symptom is observed on the Cisco 871 and Cisco 1800 series routers that function as a DMVPN spoke.
Workaround: There is no workaround.
•

Condition: Huawei DSLAM with ADSLoISDN, UR2.
Workaround: There is no workaround.
•
CSCin96534
Symptoms: Cisco180x and 181x series routers will crash on enabling dot1x.
Conditions: The crash is seen only when enabling dot1x on onboard FE interface, not on the switchports.
Workaround: There is no workaround.
•
CSCsa87733
Symptoms: Only the first syslog server defined on a system receives syslog messages.
Conditions: More than one syslog server is defined on a router, and when "logging source-interface xxxxx" command is in place.
Workaround: For those logging hosts impacted (in other words, if message counts are not changing), enter "no logging source-interface xxxxx" if possible. Next, re-enter "logging a.b.c.d," and type the CLI command for each configured host. For example, re-enter the following two lines in "config term" mode; in this case:
"logging source interface FastEthernet1/0"
"logging 192.168.104.234"
"logging 192.168.104.103"
The list of hosts are found by entering "show run | include logging."
•
CSCsb13034
IPv6 multicast traffic do not get fast-switched.
•
CSCsb47557
Symptom: DHCP fails with following message: "DHCP: Scan: bad FQDN option len 3."
Conditions: The Option 81 response returned from the DHCP Server has no domain-name.
Workaround: Include a domain-name in the Option 81 response from the DHCP Server.
•
CSCsb56224
Symptom: The last character of AT commands from router AUX line (line 1) is displayed only after first "RETURN" character. After second "RETURN" character AT command is executed by analog modem. This behaviour is causing problems with chat scripts and sending AT commands to analog modem (impossible to dialout using chat scripts). It's possible to send AT commands to modem using reverse telnet (AUX port) - after each command, we have to double hit "enter" key. Even entering command characters (like AT) letter A is echoed after pressing T, T is echoed after next character and so on.
Conditions: This problem is observed on a Cisco 871 series and Cisco 851 series routers.
Workaround: There is no workaround.
