Introduction
The Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers are the next generation Cisco midrange router products. The Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers use an innovative and powerful hardware processor technology known as the Cisco QuantumFlow Processor. The Cisco ASR 1000 Series Routers consist of three different routers: the Cisco ASR 1002 Router, the Cisco ASR 1004 Router, and the Cisco ASR 1006 Router.
•
•
•
For the single-route-processor Cisco ASR 1000 platforms, the Cisco ASR 1002 and Cisco ASR 1004, the Route Processor has a dual Cisco IOS Software option that allows these routers to use Cisco IOS software redundancy, Cisco high-availability features, Nonstop Forwarding (NSF), and In Service Software Upgrades (ISSUs). This option requires the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Route Processor to have 4 GB of DRAM memory.
The Cisco ASR 1006 Router supports fully redundant Route Processors that allow for full Route-Processor hardware redundancy, NSF, ISSU, and future Route-Processor service upgrades.
The Cisco ASR 1000 Series Routers run Cisco IOS XE Software and introduce a distributed software architecture that moves many operating system responsibilities out of the IOS process. In this architecture, Cisco IOS, which previously was responsible for almost all of the internal software processes, now runs as one of many Cisco IOS XE processes while allowing other Cisco IOS XE processes to share responsibility for running the router.
One of the key features of the Cisco IOS XE Software is support for dual Cisco IOS software consolidated packages in a single Route Processor for software redundancy in the 2-RU and 4-RU chassis systems. These dual Cisco IOS consolidated packages can consist of the same software consolidated packages for backup or different software consolidated packages for resilient upgrade.
Note
The Cisco ASR 1000 Series Routers target both enterprise and service provider applications and provide application-specific features for broadband subscriber aggregation and network application services with improved processing performance and high availability.
For information on new features and Cisco IOS commands supported by Cisco IOS XE Release 2, see the "New and Changed Information" section on page 19 and the "Related Documentation" section on page 301.
System Requirements
This section describes the system requirements for Cisco IOS XE Release 2 and includes the following sections:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Software Packaging on the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Routers
The Cisco ASR 1000 Series Routers run Cisco IOS XE Software and use a new software packaging model consisting of:
•
•
•
Each Cisco IOS XE consolidated package contains a collection of individual software sub-packages. Each individual software sub-package is an individual software file that controls a different element or elements of the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Router. Some individual sub-packages may be installed per element (for example, per SPA).
Note
Each individual software sub-package can be upgraded individually, or all individual software sub-packages for a specific Cisco IOS XE consolidated package can be upgraded as part of a complete Cisco IOS XE consolidated package upgrade.
Importantly, IOS (the RPIOS individual software sub-package) is considered one of the individual software sub-packages that makes up the complete Cisco IOS XE consolidated package.
The following are the individual software sub-packages within a consolidated package:
•
–
–
–
Note
–
•
–
•
–
–
A Cisco IOS XE consolidated package allows users to upgrade all individual software sub-packages on the router with a single Cisco IOS XE image download. The Cisco IOS XE consolidated packages available vary based on the Route Processor (RP1 or RP2) installed in the system and the Cisco IOS XE Release.
The following are the RP1 consolidated packages:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Note
The Cisco ASR 1000 Series RP1 ADVANCED ENTERPRISE SERVICES W/O CRYPTO consolidated package is only available beginning with Cisco IOS XE Release 2.2.1 and later releases. This consolidated package is not available with Cisco IOS XE Release 2.1.2 and earlier releases.The following are the RP2 consolidated packages:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Note
The Cisco ASR 1000 Series RP2 ADVANCED IP SERVICES W/O CRYPTO consolidated package is only available with Cisco IOS XE Release 2.3.0 through Cisco IOS XE Release 2.3.x. This consolidated package is not available with any other Cisco IOS XE Releases.The individual software sub-packages within the consolidated packages cannot be downloaded from Cisco.com; only the Cisco IOS XE consolidated packages and optional sub-packages can be downloaded from Cisco.com. Users who want to run the router using individual software sub-packages must first download the consolidated package from Cisco.com and extract the individual software sub-packages from the consolidated package.
In addition to the individual software sub-packages within a consolidated package, optional software sub-packages that are not part of a consolidated package are available. Optional software sub-packages are downloaded separately from Cisco.com and their installation is similar to the installation of an individual software sub-package using a provisioning file. The optional sub-package must be located in the same directory with the provisioning file and the other individual sub-package files. The optional software sub-packages available vary based on the Route Processor (RP) installed in the system: RP1 or RP2:

Note
For further information on the advantages and disadvantages of running individual sub-packages or a complete Cisco IOS XE consolidated package, and the process of extracting the individual sub-packages, see the following document:
Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Router Software Configuration Guide at the following location:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/routers/asr1000/configuration/guide/chassis/asrswcfg.html
RP Memory Recommendations
The Cisco IOS XE images and packages available vary based on the Route Processor (RP) installed in the system: RP1 or RP2.
•
•
•
•
Each Cisco IOS XE image also contains two provisioning files: asr1000rpx-packages.image.version.conf and packages.conf. A provisioning file is used for booting only in cases where the individual modules are extracted from the Cisco IOS XE image and then used to run the router. Either provisioning file can be used.

IPv6 IPSec Static Virtual Interface
Static Virtual Tunnel Interface (SVTI) configurations can be used for site-to-site connectivity in which a tunnel provides always-on access between two sites. The advantage of using SVTIs as opposed to map configurations is that users can enable dynamic routing protocols on the tunnel interface without the extra 24 bytes required for GRE headers, thus reducing the bandwidth for sending encrypted data.
For more information on SVTIs, see the following document:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/ios_xe/ipv6/configuration/guide/ip6-ipsec_xe.html
IPSec QoS Group-Based LLQ QoS
A limitation exists when IPSec and QoS are configured on an interface. IPSec uses the egress QoS policy to determine if a packet is a high priority packet before it enqueues it in a low latency queue (LLQ) of the crypto processor. For tunnel interfaces when the QoS policy is applied to the egress physical interface, Tunnel Protection is applied on the tunnel interface, and IPSec cannot determine if the packet is a high priority packet. In this scenario, high priority packets are queued to the default queue—increasing latency and traffic loss during oversubscription.
Starting with Cisco IOS XE Release 2.4.1, QoS group-based LLQ for IPSec provides LLQ functionality before crypto for the limitation described earlier. The idea is to use QoS groups to identify high priority traffic in the IPSec module. Packets are marked with a QoS group at the ingress interface. The user designates certain QoS groups to be used as high priority before crypto.
A new IOS XE command allows the user to configure certain QoS groups as high priority for IPSec:
[no] platform ipsec llq qos-group group_num
This command specifies that packets with QoS group group_num (allowed range 1 to 99) are to be treated as high priority packets before crypto and, therefore, are queued into a LLQ before reaching the crypto processor.
ALG Support for SIP T.38 Fax Relay over IP
The SIP Application Layer Gateway has been enhanced to provide NAT and Firewall ALG support for T.38 Fax Relay over IP.
ISIS Support for IPv6
Intermediate System (IS-IS) has been enhanced to provide Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6).
New Hardware Features in Cisco IOS XE Release 2.4.0
The following new hardware features are supported by the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Routers for Cisco IOS XE Release 2.4.0:
Cisco ASR 1002-Fixed Router
The Cisco ASR 1002-Fixed (Cisco ASR 1002-F) Router is the smallest of the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers and supports all the general-purpose routing and security features of the Cisco ASR 1002 Router.

New Shared Port Adapters
Cisco IOS XE Release 2.4.0 introduces support for the following new shared port adapters (SPAs):
POS SPAs
•
•
•
•
Services SPA
•
The Cisco WebEx Node for ASR 1000 Series is a full-height SPA designed to run an application which is part of the WebEx MediaTone network management application. The Cisco WebEx Node for ASR 1000 Series improves the functionality of WebEx meeting services by adding the meeting servers into the SPA itself. This technology provides the following advantages:
–
–
–
By moving the switching components of the WebEx Collaboration Cloud into the Cisco WebEx Node for ASR 1000 Series, the WebEx clients in the enterprise network need only connect to the Cisco WebEx Node for ASR 1000 Series. This reduces the traffic between the enterprise network and the WebEx MediaTone network, greatly reducing the customer's Internet bandwidth requirements.
Each Cisco WebEx Node for ASR 1000 Series can be configured to perform either web conferencing or voice and video conferencing, but not both features at the same time. Each Cisco WebEx Node for ASR 1000 Series uses the same software package that includes both features; the conferencing feature that actually runs on each SPA is determined by the WebEx Service Plan the customer has purchased. The WebEx MediaTone network retains the Cisco WebEx Node for ASR 1000 Series configuration files that the SPA retrieves each time the SPA boots. Multiple Cisco WebEx Nodes for ASR 1000 Series can be installed on the same Cisco ASR 1000 Series Router chassis to increase the conferencing performance or to provide conferencing coverage for both web and voice and video sessions.
For information about the SPAs supported on the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Routers, see the following documents:

Etherchannel Flow Based Limited 1:1 Redundancy
The EtherChannel Flow-Based Limited 1:1 Redundancy feature provides a way to configure load balancing at the port-channel level based on different flows of traffic. You can identify different flows of traffic based on key fields in the data packet and balance the traffic load according to those traffic flows. To use EtherChannel flow-based limited 1:1 redundancy, you configure an EtherChannel with two ports (one active and one standby). If the active link goes down, the EtherChannel stays up and the system performs fast switchover to the hot-standby link. When the failed link becomes operational again, the EtherChannel performs another fast switchover to revert to the original active link.

PKI—CLI to Control Certificate Revocation List (CRL) Cache
The PKI-CLI to Control Certificate Revocation List (CRL) Cache feature allows the administrator to control the CRL cache size. CRLs are received by Cisco IOS software in Distinguished Encoding Rules (DER) encoded format. Because processing a DER encoded CRL uses CPU memory, Cisco IOS software allows CRLs either to be stored in cache after being processed or to be decoded. Configuring the CRL cache size allows the amount of memory to be decreased (for example, if low memory conditions exist) or to be increased (for example, when a large number of CRLs are being processed), resulting in better performance.
The following commands were introduced or modified by this feature: crypto pki crl cache and show crypto pki crls. The crypto pki crl cache command allows the administrator to set the maximum amount of volatile memory used to cache CRLs. When the crypto pki crl cache command is configured, the show crypto pki crls command output includes information on the CRL cache size.
