Introduction
Cisco IOS XR software is a distributed operating system designed for continuous system operation combined with service flexibility and high performance.
Cisco IOS XR software provides the following features and benefits:
•IP and Routing—Supports a wide range of IPv4 and IPv6 services, and routing protocols; such as Border Gateway Protocol (BGP), Routing Information Protocol (RIP), Intermediate System-to-Intermediate System (IS-IS), Open Shortest Path First (OSPF), IP Multicast, Routing Policy Language (RPL), Hot Standby Router Protocol (HSRP), or Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol features (VRRP).
•BGP Prefix Independent Convergence—Provides the ability to converge BGP routes within sub seconds instead of multiple seconds. The Forwarding Information Base (FIB) is updated, independent of a prefix, to converge multiple 100K BGP routes with the occurrence of a single failure. This convergence is applicable to both core and edge failures and with or with out MPLS. This fast convergence innovation is unique to Cisco IOS XR software.
•Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS)—Supports MPLS protocols, including Traffic Engineering (TE), Resource Reservation Protocol (RSVP), Label Distribution Protocol (LDP), Layer 2 Virtual Private Network (L2VPN), and Layer 3 Virtual Private Network (L3VPN).
•Multicast—Provides comprehensive IP Multicast software including Source Specific Multicast (SSM). Cisco Carrier Routing System (CRS-1) router supports Bidirectional Protocol Independent Multicast (BIDIR-PIM).
•Quality of Service (QoS)—Supports rich QoS mechanisms including policing, marking, queuing, dropping, and shaping. Additionally, the Operating Systems support modular QoS command-line interface (MQC). MQC is used to configure various QoS features on various Cisco platforms.
•Manageability—Provides industry-standard management interfaces including modular command-line interface (CLI), Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), and native Extensible Markup Language (XML) interfaces.
•Security—Provides comprehensive network security features including access control lists (ACLs); routing authentications; Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting (AAA)/Terminal Access Controller Access Control System (TACACS+); Secure Shell (SSH); and Simple Network Management Protocol version3 (SNMPv3). Control plane protections integrated into line card Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs) include Generalized TTL Security Mechanism (GTSM), RFC 3682, and Dynamic Control Plane Protection (DCPP).
•Craft Works Interface (CWI)—CWI is a client-side application used to configure and manage Cisco routers. Management and configuration features include fault, configuration, security, and inventory, with an emphasis on speed and efficiency. The CWI provides a context-sensitive graphical representation of the objects in a Cisco router, simplifying the process of configuring and managing the router. The CWI allows you to log in to multiple routers and perform management tasks.
•Availability—Supports rich availability features such as fault containment, fault tolerance, fast switchover, link aggregation, and nonstop forwarding (NSF).
•Multicast service delivery in SP NGN—MVPNv4 support carries multicast traffic over an ISP MPLS core network.
•Cisco IOS IPv6 Provider Edge Router support for IPv6 applications—Delivers IPv6 traffic over an IPv4/MPLS core with Cisco IOS IPv6 Provider Edge Router (6PE) support (Cisco XR 12000 Series Router only).
•IPv6 VPN over MPLS (6VPE) support—Delivers IPv6 VPN over MPLS (IPv6) VPN traffic over an IPv4 or MPLS core with 6VPE support (Cisco XR 12000 Series Router only).
•6VPE over L2TPv3 support—Delivers IPv6 VPN traffic over L2TPv3 core with 6VPE support (Cisco XR 12000 Series Router only). This feature is also available on Cisco IOS software.
•Enhanced core competencies:
–IP fast convergence with Fast Reroute (FRR) support for Intermediate System-to-Intermediate System (IS-IS)
–Traffic engineering support for unequal load balancing
–Path Computation Element (PCE) capability for traffic engineering
•Firewall Services—Seamless insertion of Firewall Services in the data path with Virtual Firewall support on Multi Service Blade (XR-12K-MSB) for the Cisco XR 12000 Series Router.
•VPN IPSec Aggregation —The IPSec Aggregation feature is provided through SPA-IPSEC-2G-2 card. The IPSec Aggregation feature allows you to terminate up to 64k VPN tunnels, both site-to-site and remote access, if four VPN SPAs are used.
•Voice Video—Voice Video interconnect between providers with Session Border Controller (SBC) on the Cisco XR 12000 Series Router.
•L2TPv3 Tunneling Mechanism—Service Providers who do not use MPLS in the core, but want to offer VPN services can use the L2TPv3 tunneling mechanism. This feature support includes IPv4 (VPNv4) and IPv6 (6VPE) VPN services using L2TPv3 encapsulation. The L2TPv3 packet is encapsulated in an IPv4 delivery header and is carried across an IPv4 backbone. VPN prefixes are advertised with BGP labels and resolved over L2TPv3 tunnels.
For more information about new features provided on various platforms for Cisco IOS XR Software Release 3.6.0., see the "New Features and Enhancements" section in this document.

Note If you are running Cisco IOS XR software on a 120xx system with SIP 600, 401, 501, and 601, you must upgrade the fabric. For ROMMON, MBUS, and Fabric Downloader versions, see Other Firmware Support.
Other Firmware Support
Cisco XR 12000 Series Router supports the following firmware:
•Line Card (LC)
–Maintenance Bus (MBUS) Agent Software-RAM version 2.54, ROM version 3.53
–ROM Monitor version 17.1
–Fabric Downloader - RAM version 6.5, ROM version 6.5
For Engine 3 Line Card:

•Route Processors (RPs)
–Maintenance Bus (MBUS) Agent Software - RAM version 2.54, ROM version 3.53
–ROM Monitor version 1.18
Requirement of Cisco IOS Image Level and Boot Helper Version for Migration
If you are migrating from Cisco IOS to Cisco IOS XR software on the Cisco XR 12000 Series Router, you must have the following minimum Cisco IOS Image Level and Boot Helper version to support Release 3.6.0:
•Cisco IOS image—12.0(32)S
•Cisco IOS Boot Helper—12.0(32)S0a
If you have an earlier version of this system, you must upgrade to the minimum supported level before performing a migration. Otherwise, your migration fails. For more information, see the Migrating from Cisco IOS to Cisco IOS XR Software on the Cisco XR 12000 Series Router document.
Minimum Firmware Requirement
•After completing an RMA the newly-received linecard may not have appropriate IOS XR firmware installed.
Depending on the type of firmware that needs upgrading the symptoms can vary as follows:
–ROMMON needs updating the linecard will not boot up
–MBUS needs updating the linecard may fail to boot or keeps reloading
–Fabric Loader needs updating the linecard will take long time to boot
–FPD needs updating the linecard experiences packet corruption / drop
Note The FPD PIE has to be installed in order to upgrade to the latest FPD image. Refer to the Upgrading FPD on Cisco IOS XR Software chapter of the Cisco IOS XR System Management Command Reference for the Cisco XR 12000 Router online.
RMA Card Firmware Upgrade Procedure:
To upgrade the fabric-downloader, ROMMON, Mbus, and current field-programmable device (FPD) image package on a single RMA linecard or on all modules installed in a router, use the upgrade all command in administration EXEC mode.
upgrade all location {node-id | all} [force]
Where location node-id specifies that all ROM images will be upgraded on the physical location of the line card received through RMA defined by the node-id argument. The node-id argument is entered in the rack/slot/module notation.
The upgrade all location all command upgrades all ROM images on all line cards (LCs) that are installed in the router.
For an RMA linecard firmware upgrade you'll want to use the upgrade all location node-id command.
The optional force parameter skips the version check and forces an upgrade.
•The list of minimum supported firmware versions is available online in this matrix:

Important Notes
•Country-specific laws, regulations, and licences—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.
•Migrating from Cisco IOS to Cisco IOS XR Software on the Cisco XR 12000 Series Router—When migrating a Cisco XR 12000 Series Router from Cisco IOS to Cisco IOS XR software, follow the instructions provided in Migrating from Cisco IOS to Cisco IOS XR Software on the Cisco XR 12000 Series Router, Release 3.6.
•Card, fan controller, and RP 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 IOS XR Getting Started 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 maximum for your purpose.
•More power required for Cisco SIP-600 line cards on the Cisco XR 12000 Series Router—These line cards draw more power than the previous ones. Depending on the exact configuration of power entry modules (PEMs) and other cards in the chassis, there may not be enough power available when inserting a new card or removing a PEM. Before you insert a new card or remove a PEM, run the following command in admin mode:
RP/0/0/CPU0:router# admin
RP/0/0/CPU0:router# show environment power-supply table
Total Power Supplies: 3200W
Redundant Power Supplies: 1600W
Worst Case Power Used: 621W
Current Redundant Power Available: 1172W
Current Total Power Available: 2772W
Worst Case Redundant Power Available: 979W
Worst Case Total Power Available: 2579W
PRP-1 Cisco 12000 Series Performance Route Processor 60
LC-4OC-3-POS-SM 4 Port Packet Over SONET OC-3c/STM-1 80
4OC3X/POS-MM-MJ-B 4 port ISE OC3 90
If you plan to insert a new card, locate the entry for the card to be inserted and note the power consumed by it. If this power is less than the figure given in Worst Case Redundant Power Available (the figure is displayed in the show environment power-supply table command output), the card can be safely inserted. As long as the Worst Case Redundant Power Available is not zero, a PEM can be powered down for replacement without impact.
Note No alerts are issued if more cards are inserted than the PEMs can support. It is your responsibility to determine your power budget for the chassis before making any changes to it. Exceeding the power budget may result in the PEM being overloaded and cards powering down due to insufficient power being provided.
•Per-interface Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) disable feature is not supported on Cisco XR 12000 Series Routers.
•Disable the preempt feature in the VFW application—In Cisco IOS XR Release 3.6.0, you must disable the preempt feature in the VFW application. Ensure that you configure no preempt for all fault-tolerant groups under the Admin context on the VFW application. See the following example:
•Online Diagnostics is not supported on the Cisco XR 12000 Series Router. If you execute the diagnostic command, an error appears stating that there is no online diagnostics process running on the router.
•PCMCIA 1GB Flash Disk is the default flash disk size for CRS IOS XR 3.6. However, PCMCIA 2GB Flash Disk is supported in IOS XR 3.6 for customers who plan to upgrade their PCMCIA flash disk to higher capacity disk. To upgrade from 1GB Flash Disk to 2GB Flash Disk, refer CRS-1 PCMCIA 1GB Flash Disk to 2GB Flash Disk Upgrade Procedure document (http://www.cisco.com/web/Cisco_IOS_XR_Software/pdf/SoftwareFirmwareCompatibilityMatrix.pdf).
•rp mgmtethernet forwarding command—This command is not supported on the Cisco XR 12000 Series Router.
•The following commands are not supported on the Cisco CRS-1 Series Router:
–affinity location set
–affinity location type
–affinity program
–affinity self
•Default Queue Limit Calculation on the Cisco CRS-1 Series Router—In Cisco IOS XR releases prior to Cisco IOS XR Release 3.6.0, the reference used for a queue's default queue limit value of 100 ms was maximum queue bandwidth. This means that every queue was allocated buffers based on the maximum amount of bandwidth it could possibly send, which could result in a large oversubscription of buffers. This in turn results in a higher probability of packet drops due to insufficient buffer memory in the queuing ASIC.
In Cisco IOS XR Release 3.6.0, the default queue limit calculation was corrected (per the Cisco MQC specification) to use the Guaranteed Service Rate (GSR) as a reference for default queue limit calculation. GSR is the minimum bandwidth a queue will receive at any time. As a result of this change, when upgrading to Cisco IOS XR Release 3.6.0 or later, the default queue limit programmed for a queue or class can be considerably reduced, especially for classes with maximum bandwidth that is much larger than their respective GSRs.

Resolved Cisco IOS XR Software PSIRT-Related Caveats
•CSCti62211
Basic Description:
BGP flaps due to unknown attribute
Symptom:
Cisco IOS XR Software contains a vulnerability in the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) feature. The vulnerability manifests itself when a BGP peer announces a prefix with a specific, valid but unrecognized transitive attribute. On receipt of this prefix, the Cisco IOS XR device will corrupt the attribute before sending it to the neighboring devices. Neighboring devices that receive this corrupted update may reset the BGP peering session.
Conditions:
Affected devices running Cisco IOS XR Software corrupt the unrecognized attribute before sending to neighboring devices, but neighboring devices may be running operating systems other than Cisco IOS XR Software and may still reset the BGP peering session after receiving the corrupted update. This is per standards defining the operation of BGP.
Workaround:
No workaround. Cisco developed a fix that addresses this vulnerability and will be releasing free software maintenance upgrades (SMUs) progressively starting 28 August 2010.
A Security Advisory is posted at http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/707/cisco-sa-20100827-bgp.shtml
