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 (RIPv2), Intermediate System-to-Intermediate System (IS-IS), Open Shortest Path First (OSPF), IP Multicast, Routing Policy Language (RPL), Hot Standby Router Protocol (HSRP), and 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), Virtual Private LAN Service (VPLS), and Layer 3 Virtual Private Network (L3VPN). The Cisco CRS-1 router supports Layer 2 Virtual Private Network (L2VPN).
•
Multicast—Provides comprehensive IP Multicast software including Source Specific Multicast (SSM) and Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) in Sparse Mode only. The Cisco CRS-1 router supports Bidirectional Protocol Independent Multicast (BIDIR-PIM).
•
Quality of Service (QoS)—Supports QoS mechanisms including policing, marking, queuing, random and hard traffic dropping, and shaping. Additionally, Cisco IOS XR software also supports modular QoS command-line interface (MQC). MQC simplifies the configuration of 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. Includes a comprehensive set of Syslog messaging.
•
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); Management Plane Protection (MPP) for control plan security; 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; nonstop routing for ISIS, LDP, BGP, and OSPF; and nonstop forwarding (NSF).
•
Multicast service delivery in SP NGN—MVPNv4 support carries multicast traffic over an ISP MPLS core network.
•
IPv6 Provider Edge Router support for IPv6 applications—Delivers IPv6 traffic over an IPv4/MPLS core with IPv6 provider edge router (6PE) support.
•
IPv6 VPN over MPLS (6VPE) support—Delivers IPv6 VPN over MPLS (IPv6) VPN traffic over an IPv4 or MPLS core with 6VPE support.
•
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 64-K VPN tunnels, both site-to-site and remote access, if four VPN SPAs are used.
•
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. This feature is supported only on the Cisco XR 12000 Series Router.

Minimum and Preferred Cisco IOS Image and Boot Helper Levels 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 3.8.2:
•
Cisco IOS and Boot Helper images—12.0(32)S
However, the recommended Cisco IOS image level to support migration to Release 3.8.2 can be either one of the following:
•
12.0(32)SY5
•
12.0(32)S6
If you have an earlier version of this system, you must upgrade to at least the minimum supported level before performing a migration. Otherwise, your migration may fail.
For more information, see the Migrating from Cisco IOS to Cisco IOS XR Software on the Cisco XR 12000 Series Router document.
Table 8 lists the recommended firmware level for Cisco IOS 12.0(32)SY5 when migrating to Cisco IOS XR Software Release 3.8.2.
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 all firmware images (ROM, MBUS, Fabric Downloader and FPD) 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 all firmware images (ROM, MBUS, Fabric Downloader and FPD) 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.

•
New Software Features Supported on All Platforms
•
Cisco CRS-1 Router-Specific Software Features
•
Cisco XR 12000 Series Router-Specific Software Features
New Software Features Supported on All Platforms
The following new software feature in Cisco IOS XR Software Release 3.8.2 is supported on both the Cisco CRS-1 and the Cisco XR 12000 Series Router:
Note
Cisco Session Border Controller (SBC) is not supported on any platform.
Multicast Only Fast Reroute
Multicast only fast reroute (MoFRR) is a video feature that supports redundancy.
Two copies of the same multicast stream flow through disjoint paths in the network. At the point in the network where the two streams merge, one of the streams is accepted and forwarded on the downstream links, while the other stream is discarded.
MoFRR is triggered when a failure is detected on the primary path. MoFRR transmits a multicast join from a receiver towards a source on a primary path and then transmits a secondary multicast join message from the receiver towards the source on a backup path. Data packets are received from the primary and secondary paths, with the redundant packets being discarded at topology merge points based on reverse-path forwarding (RPF) checks.
When a failure is detected on the primary path, the repair occurs by changing the interface on which packets are accepted to the secondary interface. This redundancy improves the convergence times in the event of a node or link failure on the primary path.
Note
After the primary path is repaired, the multicast stream does not automatically switch from the secondary to the primary path.
MoFRR switchover occurs at the software level based on routing information base (RIB) convergence. RIB events are used as triggers for a switchover.
Multipath and non-multipath modes support MoFRR. Better convergence time is achieved in multipath mode because of the load-balancing of traffic streams across different paths.
MoFRR supports equal cost multipath (ECMP) topologies, IPv4 and IPv6, and XML.
The flow monitoring metric may be used to trigger other network events like rerouting of multicast flows for fast convergence.
Prerequisites
Before you configure MoFRR, ensure that you have set up a multicast network. For information regarding configuring your network for multicast, refer to Cisco IOS XR Multicast Configuration Guide, Release 3.8.
Configuring MoFRR
This section describes how to configure MoFRR based on RIB convergence.

This command was introduced on the Cisco CRS-1 and Cisco XR 12000 Series Router.
Usage Guidelines
To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes the proper task IDs. If you suspect user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator. For detailed information about user groups and task IDs, refer to the Configuring AAA Services on Cisco IOS-XR Software module of the Cisco IOS-XR System Security Configuration Guide.
Task ID
Examples
The following example shows how to enter the maximum number of 5000 PIM interfaces on all routes for all VRF instances:

Release ModificationRelease 3.8.2
This command was introduced on the Cisco CRS-1 and Cisco XR 12000 Series Router.
Usage Guidelines
To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes the proper task IDs. If you suspect user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator.
Each line card has an individual Multicast Forwarding Information Base (MFIB) table. The MFIB table maintains a subset of entries and flags updated from MRIB. The flags determine the forwarding and signaling behavior according to a set of forwarding rules for multicast packets. In addition to the list of interfaces and flags, each route entry shows various counters. Byte count is the number of total bytes forwarded. Packet count is the number of packets received for this entry.
The show mfib counter command displays global counters independent of the routes.
Task ID

Important Notes
•
pw-class class name encapsulation mpls default change for control-word option—In Cisco IOS XR Software Release 3.8.2 the control word is disabled by default. To configure the control word, enter the control-word keyword shown in the following example:
pw-class class1 encapsulation mpls control-word•
Default timestamp setting—The timestamp prompt that precedes console output is enabled by default in Cisco IOS XR Software Release 3.8.2. To disable the timestamp prompt, use the timestamp disable command. For more information, see http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios_xr_sw/iosxr_r3.8/system_management/command/reference/yr38term.html#wp1311395.
•
For Cisco IOS XR Software Release 3.6.0 and later releases, WRED statements are collapsed, so that, if different random-detect statements using the same match types (EXP, DSCP, Prec, and so forth) are entered with identical minimum and maximum threshold values, a single configuration line is shown in the output of the show running config command. This reduces the length of the configuration, but creates a problem with backward compatibility with previous releases. In such a situation, on rollback, the QoS policy is rejected and must be manually entered again.
Configuration prior to Cisco IOS XR Software Release 3.6.0:

This can be done either by assigning at least 1 percent explicitly (bandwidth remaining percent 1) or by ensuring that the total bandwidth assigned to all other classes in the policy is a maximum of 99 percent, leaving 1 percent available for the class-default. A QoS policy that does not have any bandwidth for class-default is rejected when upgrading to Cisco IOS XR Software Release 3.6.0 or later releases.

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 line cards (SIP-401/501/600/601) on the Cisco XR 12000 Series Router—These line cards draw more power than previous generation line cards. 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# adminRP/0/0/CPU0:router# show environment power-supply table48V CurrentR/S/I Module (V) (A)0/24/* PEM1 54 4PEM2 53 40/25/* PEM1 54 4PEM2 53 4Total Power Supplies: 3200WRedundant Power Supplies: 1600WWorst Case Power Used: 621WCurrent Power Used: 428WCurrent Redundant Power Available: 1172WCurrent Total Power Available: 2772WWorst Case Redundant Power Available: 979WWorst Case Total Power Available: 2579WPID Description Watts--- ----------- -----GRP-B Route Processor 38PRP-1 Cisco 12000 Series Performance Route Processor 60LC-4OC-3-POS-SM 4 Port Packet Over SONET OC-3c/STM-1 804OC3X/POS-MM-MJ-B 4 port ISE OC3 90If 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.
•
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.
•
The rp mgmtethernet forwarding command is not supported on the Cisco XR 12000 Series Router.
•
mpls traffic engineering igp-intact command—This command must be used only when policy based tunnel selection is configured for all tunnels originating on the device.
•
L2TPv3 traffic is not supported on Ethernet bundle interfaces on the Cisco XR 12000 Series Router.
•
In Cisco IOS XR Release 3.8.2, the show running-config command includes an option to display the large configuration format. Using the formal option means that the output does not include submode indentations.
•
Layer 2 Tunnel Protocol Version 3 (L2TPv3) Limitations—These limitations are applicable to the 1-port OC3c/STM1 SFP Optics ATM SPA, 3-port OC3c/STM1 SFP Optics ATM SPA, and1-port OC12c/STM4 SFP Optics ATM SPA.
–
Sequence resync for L2TPv3 does not work on ATM L2VPNs.
–
Control word is processed by the SPA for ATM L2VPN. This process does not impact the L2VPN behavior. The following L2TPv3 commands do not work:
show l2tp session sequence
show l2vpn forwarding detail - This command does not show the sequence number for L2VPNs.
show l2tp session detail - The sequence numbers are not displayed.
clear l2vpn forwarding table
–
To see the sequence number for the L2VPNs, issue the following commands:
show controllers atm <> traffic vc <>—This command prints the CID.
show hw-module subslot <> memory sar cid <>—Use the CID obtained in the previous command.
•
Static ATM AAL5 L2VPN sessions support the control word. Per the standard, any AAL5 L2VPN must have the control word enabled.
•
Turboboot with disk mirroring is not supported in Cisco IOS XR Release 3.8.2.
•
Multicast Configuration Changes in Cisco IOS XR Release 3.8.2—In releases prior to Cisco IOS XR Release 3.8.2, each VRF under multicast-routing and router pim configurations were in a separate submode. In Cisco IOS XR Release 3.8.2, the configurations are in a hierarchical format, similar to other routing protocols. This change is required for the multicast XML support in Cisco IOS XR Release 3.8.2.
Due to this change, when downgrading from Cisco IOS XR Release 3.8.2 to earlier releases, the multicast-routing and router pim MVPN (VRF) configurations are rejected. This failure is shown in the output of the show configuration failed startup command.
Multicast-routing and router pim MVPN (VRF) configurations need to be corrected and reapplied manually. Since a downgrade is typically done following an upgrade, save a copy of the older-release running-configuration before doing the upgrade.
In Cisco IOS XR Release 3.8.2, the following multicast routing configurations are on separate lines:
multicast-routingvrf vrf1address-family ipv4interface all enable!!!To correct the multicast-routing configurations, the vrf <> and address-family <> lines should be combined into the same line as shown in the following example:
multicast-routingvrf vrf1 address-family ipv4interface all enable!In Cisco IOS XR Release 3.8.2, the following router pim configurations are on separate lines:
router pimvrf vrf1address-family ipv4interface Loopback0!!!To correct the router pim configurations, the vrf <> and address-family <> lines should be combined into the same line as the router pim shown in the following example:
router pim vrf vrf1 address-family ipv4interface Loopback0!!•
The following commands are not supported on the Cisco CRS-1 Series Router:
–
affinity location set
–
affinity location type
–

•
When configuring the LDP (Label Distribution Protocol) GR (graceful restart) process in a network with multiple [link and/or targeted] LDP hello adjacencies with the same neighbor, make sure that GR is activated on the session before any hello adjacency times out due to neighbor control plane failures. One way of achieving this is by configuring a lower session hold time between neighbors such that session time out always occurs before hello adjacency can time out. Cisco recommends setting LDP session hold time using the following formula:
LDP session hold time <= (Hello hold time - Hello interval) * 3
This means that for default values of 15/5 seconds respectively for the link Hello hold time and the Hello interval, the LDP session hold time should be set to 30 seconds or less.
For more information, refer to the "Implementing MPLS Label Distribution Protocol on Cisco IOS XR Software" section of the Cisco IOS XR MPLS Configuration Guide, Release 3.8.2.
Minimum Flash Disk Requirements When Upgrading to Release 3.8.2
Cisco IOS XR Software Release 3.8.2 requires a 2-GB flash disk as a minimum, so if your Cisco CRS-1 or Cisco XR 12000 Series Router currently uses a 1-GB flash disk, you must upgrade it to 2-GB before upgrading to Cisco IOS XR Software Release 3.8.2.
The PCMCIA 1-GB flash disk was the default size for the Cisco CRS-1 running Cisco IOS XR Software Release 3.6 and earlier and for the Cisco XR 12000 Series Router running Cisco IOS XR Software Release 3.5 and earlier.
A 4-GB flash disk is available for both platforms and can be installed instead of the 2-GB for greater disk storage for Cisco IOS XR Software Release 3.4 and later.
To upgrade from a 1-GB flash disk to a 2-GB or greater flash disk, refer to the Cisco XR12000 and CRS-1 Flash Disk Upgrade Tasks document at: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/routers/xr12000/xr_line_cards/flashdisk/flashdisk.pdf
Additional upgrade instructions for the Cisco CRS-1 router are available from: http://www.cisco.com/web/Cisco_IOS_XR_Software/pdf/ReplacingPCMCIACardOnCRS-1.pdf
Caveats
Caveats describe unexpected behavior in Cisco IOS XR software releases. Severity-1 caveats are the most serious.
The following caveats are open for Cisco IOS XR Software Release 3.8.2 on the router platforms indicated:
•
Caveats Specific to the Cisco CRS-1 Router
•
Caveats Specific to the Cisco XR 12000 Series Router
Cisco IOS XR Caveats
The following caveats apply to both platforms:
•
CSCsw23382
Basic Description:
devc_conaux crash—multiple triggers.
Symptom:
Under specific circumstances, the Devc-conaux process could crash and automatically restart. Sessions on the console or auxiliary port are terminated as a result.
Note
Telnet or SSH connections are not affected.
Conditions:
This issue may occur during the following scenarios:
1.
Turbo Boot
2.
When using the break sequence "Ctrl-C" on the console or auxiliary port of the active or standby route processor to stop excessive output appearing on the terminal
Workaround:
Avoid the use of this break sequence on the active or standby route processor console or auxiliary port.
•
CSCta03608
Basic Description:
FR subinterface counters are taken from the engine, while main interface counters are taken from the SPA. This can result in a mismatch of counters at the sub interface and main interface levels.
Symptom:
o/p of show interface main interface and show interface sub interface may not match. Total sub interface counts (for all sub interfaces under the main interface) may be larger on the side or smaller on the ingress side.
Conditions:
This mismatch is seen between FR sub interface and main interface counts. Mismatch occurs when the packet rate becomes more than what the queuing ASIC can handle. This results in a queuing ASIC drop and a difference in the main interface and sub interface counts.
Workaround:
No workaround is available (recommended). This is an expected behavior.
•
CSCta83807
Basic Description:
Some processes not reoptimized are router reload.
Symptom:
If a router reloads, upon bootup, some processes may not be placed on the same nodes as they were before the reload. This is due to timing variations in the bootup sequence of the various nodes (cards).
Conditions:
This issue occurs during a router reload.
Workaround:
None.
Recovery:
Use the placement reoptimize command, which places processes on their optimal cards.
•
CSCtb25096
Basic Description:
Field diag on an LC with SPA-IPSEC-2G-2 SPA goes into Field Diag timeout.
Symptom:
Field diag is declared as failed and the card goes into Field Diag timeout state on an LC with a SPA-IPSEC-2G-2 SPA.
Conditions:
This behavior is observed when one of the SPAs is a SPA-IPSEC-2G-2 SPA. The total test time for the SPA-IPSEC-2G-2 SPAs is more than the current field diags timeout value. Even though all the tests pass, as the total test time exceeds the timeout the field diags reports a timeout.
Workaround:
None. When this is observed on a setup, if none of the actual tests have reported any failures, this issue can be safely ignored and the hardware under test can be considered to be good.
Recovery:
The card that went into "FDIAG TIMEOUT" state has to be reloaded to get it back to the normal state. Issue the following command:
hw-module location <R/S/I> reload

CSCti50227
Basic Description:
Not able to modify RPL and delete prefix-set in a single commit.
Symptom:
When a policy that is attached directly or indirectly to an attach point needs to be modified, a single commit operation cannot be performed when:
–
Removing a set or policy referred by another policy that is attached to any attach point directly or indirectly.
–
Modifying the policy to remove the reference to the same set or policy that is getting removed.
Workaround:
The commit must be performed in two steps:
1.
Modify the policy to remove the reference to the policy or set and then commit.
2.
Remove the policy or set and commit.
Caveats Specific to the Cisco CRS-1 Router
The following caveats are specific to the Cisco CRS-1 platform:
•
CSCsz76809
Basic Description:
Verifier call back not getting called on configuration.
Symptom:
The system accepts an invalid SNMP MIB configuration.
Conditions:
When an SNMP MIB configuration is committed with invalid information, the system is accepts it, rather than rejecting it. Such configuration does not have any adverse effect to the system, but shows up in the running configuration. This issue is only in Cisco IOS XR Release 3.8 and subsequest Release 3.8 maintenance releases.
Workaround:
Upon committing a MIB configuration with invalid information, the system generates a syslog indicating the nature of problem.
Recovery:
Remove the invalid configuration and reapply with valid information.
Further Problem Description:
A configuration verification step which is supposed to verify the validity of MIB configuration does not function correctly, and proceeds to apply the configuration. This results in system accepting an invalid MIB configuration.

CSCtc36310
Basic Description:
The FabricMulticast ping health monitoring diagnostic test on a Cisco CRS-1 multi-chassis system does not reliably report which specific fabric plane or planes are at fault when the test indicates a failure. Failure detection is accurate. The FabricMulticast ping health monitoring diagnostic test is reliable in identifying the affected plane or plane when performed on a Cisco CRS-1 single chassis system.
Symptom:
FabricMulticast ping health monitoring diagnostic test does not identify the affected plane or planes.
Conditions:
This issue occurs when running the FabricMulticast ping health monitoring diagnostic test on a Cisco CRS-1 multi-chassis system and a fault is detected.
Workaround:
There is no known workaround.
Recovery:
Please contact your technical representative for technical support.

CSCsq53944
Basic Description:
E5 LC clock is disrupted during boot.
Symptom:
Doing periodic show clock sync from RP during the Engine 5 boot reveals that when the LC becomes IOX-RUN, its clock is drifted by few seconds compared to the RP clock. The clock syncs and becomes accurate without user intervention 5-10 minutes after boot.
Conditions:
This issue is specific to Engine 5 and is not seen on Engine 3.
Workaround:
None.

CSCtb31299
Basic Description:
Bundle ether members flap on process restart netio on E5.
Symptom:
LACP protocol flaps and links are detached and then reattached to their bundles when NetIO on the linecard where the links are located is restarted. A message such as one of the following is seen:
RP/0/7/CPU0:Aug 11 02:59:54.030 : BM-DISTRIB[133]: %L2-BM-6-DISTRIBUTING : GigabitEthernet0/0/0/9 is no longer in Distributing state as part of Bundle-Ether14000 (Link is in InSync state)Or
RP/0/7/CPU0:Aug 11 02:59:54.030 : BM-DISTRIB[133]: %L2-BM-6-DISTRIBUTING : GigabitEthernet0/0/0/9 is no longer in Distributing state as part of Bundle-Ether14000 (Link is marked individual by partner)Conditions:
Links are running LACP using the short period (lacp period short) in one or both directions. The NetIO process is restarted on the card where the links are present.
Workaround:
Configure LACP on both connected devices to be running using the default long period (no lacp period short) before restarting NetIO.

CSCtd62429
Basic Description:
XBMA interrupts not getting reported to CPU and no action
Symptom:
XBMA interrupts not getting reported to CPU and no action
Conditions:
XBMA error interrupts can occur because of the following reasons:
1.
Bad packets sent from the engine to the XBMA ASIC, because of a ucode bug.
2.
Multi-bit errors (MBE) in XBMA.
Such errors do not get notified to the CPU, leading to a silent failure within XBMA ASICS.
Workaround:
None.
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.shtm
Upgrading Cisco IOS XR Software
Cisco IOS XR software is installed and activated from modular packages, allowing specific features or software patches to be installed, upgraded, or downgraded without affecting unrelated processes. Software packages can be upgraded or downgraded on all supported card types, or on a single card (node).
Software packages are installed from package installation envelope (PIE) files that contain one or more software components.
The following URL contains links to information about how to upgrade Cisco IOS XR software:
