•
Note
In addition, Cisco CRS-1 multishelf systems should be upgraded to ROMMON version 1.45 before being upgraded to Cisco IOS XR Software Release 3.3.4 to ensure that RPs receive the correct rack number assignments during system boot.
•
For detailed information on ROMMON, see Cisco IOS XR ROM Monitor Guide.
New and Changed Information
No new software or hardware features are introduced in Cisco IOS XR Software Release 3.3.4.
Installation Notes
In certain countries, use of these products might 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.
Follow the instructions provided by Cisco for all card removal and replacement (fabric cards, line cards, fan controller and RP, and so on) to avoid impact to traffic. See the Cisco IOS XR Getting Started Guide for procedures.
If you intend to test beyond the combined maximum configuration tested and published by Cisco, contact your Cisco representative to discuss how to engineer a large-scale configuration maximum for your testing.
Caveats—Release 3.3.4
This section lists the caveats for Cisco IOS XR Software Release 3.3.4. Caveats describe unexpected behavior in Cisco IOS XR software releases. Severity 1 caveats are the most serious caveats; severity 2 caveats are less serious.
The caveats are listed as follows:
•
Basic Description: IMD does not clean notification queue during deregistration.
Symptom: ISIS related trace backs are the VLAN interfaces of an LC after that LC reloads.
Conditions: These traceback messages are seen only on the VLAN interfaces and do not consistently occur. This issue is very rare.
Workaround: No external workaround needed. These messages stop by themselves, and there is no system impact.
•
Basic Description: The CISCO-FLASH-MIB is not sending traps after someone performs an online insertion and removal (OIR) on the flash device. SNMP traps ciscoFlashDeviceInsertedNotif and ciscoFlashDeviceRemovedNotif are not supported.
Symptom: SNMP traps are not sent when a flash card is inserted or removed.
Conditions: All cases.
Workaround: None.
•
Basic Description: BGP Routing failure in next-hop registrations.
Symptom: This error message is seen after we do a redundancy switchover.
Conditions: This message is seen only one time after doing a redundancy switchover.
Workaround: No workaround necessary. This message has no system impact.
•
Basic Description: After a reload, RADIUS does not find the source interface.
Symptom: The source interface does not seem to take effect upon reload or RP failover.
Conditions: This happens for software interfaces such as Loopback. Using physical interfaces does not appear to cause the problem.
Workaround: Restart the RADIUS process.
•
Basic Description: An SNMPD core dump occurs during the committing of the community.
Symptom: Process SNMPD fails when the community string is configured or during router reload with a startup configuration containing SNMP-specific configurations.
Conditions: Intermittent.
Workaround: Reapply the SNMP configurations.
•
Basic Description: Unable to resolve recursive VPN label for a prefix and an RP failover.
Symptom: Traffic not passing in the topology of LDP over TE-Tunnel after RP FO.
Conditions: After RP FO or executing reload location all.
Workaround: There are three workarounds for the issue:
1.
router staticaddress-family ipv4 unicast172.16.1.7/32 tunnel-te306 172.16.0.8!!2.
3.
•
Basic Description: Admin diagnostic configurations are lost after router reload.
Symptom:
After a router reload, admin diagnostic configurations are lost from the running configuration, and admin diagnostic configurations are listed under failed startup configurations.
For example, before reload (all commands are in admin mode) show running-config displays this output:
Building configuration...
<some non-diagnostic configs>
diagnostic schedule location 0/1/CPU0 test all daily 13:25
<some more non-diagnostic configs>After reload (all commands are in admin mode) show running-config displays this output:
Building configuration...
<some non-diagnostic configs>
<some more non-diagnostic configs>Entering show configuration failed startup displays this output:
!!21:08:17 UTC Wed Jan 10 2007
!! CONFIGURATION FAILED DUE TO SYNTAX/AUTHORIZATION ERRORS
diagnostic schedule location 0/1/CPU0 test all daily 13:25Conditions: This can happen only after router reload or after DSC migration in a Multishelf system, if the diagnostic PIE is activated and the diagnostic configurations have been applied.
Workaround: To recover the originally configured and intended diagnostic behavior, the user must re-apply the failed configurations manually.
Using the example above (all commands are in admin mode):
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(admin)# configRP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(admin)# diagnostic schedule location 0/1/CPU0RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(admin)# test all daily 13:25 commitRP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(admin)# exit•
Basic Description: Exception kernel memory kernel not seen in running config.
Symptom: The show running config command does not show the kernel memory dumper command although it has been configured.
Conditions: Configuring and committing exception kernel memory kernel filepath harddisk:/K.
Workaround: None. The command works when configured but does not show up in the running configuration.
•
Basic Description: Initiation of 32+ telnet sessions causes high CPU usage.
Conditions: High CPU usage may occur when multiple Telnet sessions are brought up and torn down.
Workaround: None. To avoid high CPU usage, do not bring up and tear down Telnet sessions in quick succession. Be mindful of scripting.
•
Basic Description: Devc-vty traceback message.
Conditions: Message appears when there are multiple Telnet/SSH sessions that log in and out of the router at the same time.
Workaround: None. These messages can be safely ignored.
•
Basic Description: CRS-DIAG-DIAG-3-SW_ ERROR traceback msg.
Conditions: Message occurs on router running Cisco IOS XR software after warm reload.
Workaround: None. These messages can be safely ignored.

Changes to the Format of the File System
For Cisco IOS XR Software Release 3.3.4, changes were made to the format of the file system that is used to store the router configuration files. When upgrading from earlier software releases, the following behavior can occur:
•
•
To prevent this from happening, use the following command before performing the downgrade operation:
delete disk0:/config/running/commitdb/*
Note
This forces the Cisco IOS XR Software Release 3.3.1 (or earlier release) to create old format configuration files based on the contents of the new-format files left behind by Cisco IOS XR Software Release 3.3.4. Included in the files, which are created in this way, are those that contain the persistent copy of the router configuration that is used to restore the running configuration. The history of changes to the running configuration, however, is not recreated. This means that after the downgrade, it is not possible to view or roll back any changes previously contained in the configuration history.
•
To prevent this from happening, use the following command before performing the repeat upgrade operation:
delete disk0:/config/lr/running/commitdb/*
Note
This forces the Cisco IOS XR Software Release 3.3.4 to create new format configuration files that are based on the contents of the old format files left behind by Cisco IOS XR Software Release 3.3.1 (or earlier release), during the first upgrade.
