When you run BFD on link bundles, you can run an independent BFD session on each underlying physical interface that is part of that bundle.
When BFD is running on a link bundle member, the following layers of connectivity are effectively tested as part of the interface state monitoring for BFD:
–
–
–
The BFD agent on each bundle member link monitors state changes on the link. BFD agents for sessions running on bundle member links communicate with a bundle manager. The bundle manager determines the state of member links and the overall availability of the bundle. The state of the member links contributes to the overall state of the bundle based on the threshold of minimum active links or minimum active bandwidth that is configured for that bundle.
BFD Echo Latency Detection—Beginning in Cisco IOS XR 4.0.1, you can configure BFD sessions on non-bundle interfaces to bring down a BFD session when it exceeds the configured echo latency tolerance.
BFD Echo Startup Validation—Beginning in Cisco IOS XR Release 4.0.1, you can verify that the echo packet path is working and within configured latency thresholds before starting a BFD session on non-bundle interfaces.
For more information about BFD Per Member Link, refer to the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Interface and Hardware Component Configuration Guide.

•
Cisco IOS XR Software Release 3.9.2 introduces support on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router platform for packet forwarding and routing according to customer defined policies.
An access control list (ACL) consists of one or more access control entries (ACE) that collectively define the network traffic profile. This profile can then be referenced by Cisco IOS XR software features such as traffic filtering, route filtering, QoS classification, and access control. Each ACL includes an action element (permit or deny) and a filter element based on criteria such as source address, destination address, protocol, and protocol-specific parameters.
Prefix lists are used in route maps and route filtering operations and can be used as an alternative to access lists in many Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) route filtering commands. A prefix is a portion of an IP address, starting from the far left bit of the far left octet. By specifying exactly how many bits of an address belong to a prefix, you can then use prefixes to aggregate addresses and perform a function on them, such as redistribution (filter routing updates).
Hardware Limitations:
–

Restrictions:
–
Attaching ACL having a nexthop option in the egress direction.
Modifying an ACL attached in the egress direction having nexthop.
deny ACE with nexthop.

Only MLPPP encapsulation channels on the OC-12 SONET interface can be protected by IP-FRR in Cisco IOS XR Software Release 4.0.3.
•
Cisco IOS XR Software Release 3.9.0 added support on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router for the Layer 2 Multicast Limit feature, which supports IGMP Snooping based limits for both the maximum number of allowed multicast channels per subscriber and the maximum bandwidth available for multicast per subscriber.
•
Cisco IOS XR Software Release 3.9.0 added support on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router for Local Traffic Mirroring (EFP to EFP) and also the option of appending a VLAN tag on the destination port for transport across an Ethernet network. Traffic Mirroring copies traffic from one or more Layer 2 interfaces or sub-interfaces, including Layer 2 link bundle interfaces/sub-interfaces, and sends the copied traffic to one or more destinations for analysis by a network analyzer or other monitoring device.
On a switch, unicast traffic from A to B is only forwarded to the B port. Therefore, the network analyzer does not see this traffic. When the Traffic Mirroring feature is enabled, the network analyzer is attached to a port that is configured to receive a copy of every packet that host A sends. This port is called a traffic mirroring port.
Currently, the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router only supports Local SPAN and R-SPAN.
A maximum of 8 monitor sessions, and 800 source ports are supported.
You can configure 800 source ports on a single monitor session or configure an aggregate total of 800 source ports on up to 8 different monitor sessions.
The following SPAN types are not supported:
–
Traffic is mirrored to a remote site via a GRE tunnel.
–
Traffic is mirrored to a remote site via an MPLS pseudowire, instead of using a standard destination interface. (Plan to be supported in 4.0.1 release.)
–
In this case, the source for the mirrored traffic is not simply a set of interfaces, but is a full bridge-domain.
–
In this case, flow and ACL are applied in mirroring the traffic.
Cisco recommends not mirroring more 15% of total transit traffic. On TenGigE or bundle interfaces there is a limit of 1.5G on each ingress and egress traffic port to be mirrored.
SPAN Configurations:
To create a "monitor-session" in global config:
-monitor-session <name>
- destination interface <dst_interface>
To attach a source port in local-plane config:
-interface <src-interface> l2transport
- monitor-session <name> [direction {rx_only | tx_only]
SPAN Configuration Samples:
SPAN with Physical Interfaces (Local SPAN)
The following example shows a basic configuration for SPAN with physical interfaces. When traffic flows over the point to point cross connect between gig0/2/0/19 and gig0/2/0/11, packets received and transmitted on gig0/2/0/19 will also get mirrored to gig0/2/0/15.

For more information on configuring the EFP Egress Filtering feature including the associated EFP Egress Filtering commands on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series router, refer to the Egress EFP Filtering on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router feature module.
•
In prior releases the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router acting as a bridge flooded broadcast and unknown unicast traffic to all the forwarding engines on all the line cards.
In Cisco IOS XR Software Release 3.7.2 if a pseudo wire is configured in a bridge domain all broadcast and unknown unicast traffic is flooded to all line cards in the system in order to attain fast convergence. With Cisco IOS XR Software Release 3.7.3 the flood optimization feature changes this default behavior. FGID will get programmed based on the primary paths on which the pseudo wire is going out and traffic will get flooded only to the line cards on which the pseudo wire resides. This mode is called Bandwidth Optimization mode.
But if a Fast ReRoute event occurs when fast convergence is set up it will take a longer time to complete the reroute as more hardware programming such as adding bridge ports etc. needs to be done. So for customers who are sensitive to this increased delay a command called flood mode convergence-optimized is provided in Cisco IOS XR Software Release 3.7.3. Use this flood mode convergence-optimized command to switch back to the convergence optimized mode where traffic gets flooded to all the line cards.
With this flood mode convergence-optimized command users are able to turn on/off the bandwidth optimized mode.
For more information on the flooding disable command and other Layer 2 VPLS commands on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series router, refer to the Point to Point Layer 2 Services Commands section in the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router L2VPN and Ethernet Services Command Reference here:
•
In Cisco IOS XR software Release 3.7.3 as part of pseudo wire flood optimization, the Layer 3 interface list for a pseudo wire is now based on Virtual Connection labels. By using ECMP Link Bundle hashing, the Layer 3 interface list for a pseudo wire can be condensed to a single Layer 3 interface. This Layer 3 interface (slot and network protocol flood mask) is derived from the ordered array of Layer 3 interface list (masks).
•
Cisco IOS XR software Release 3.7.3 added support for the Early Fast Discard command. This command was added to process all high priority packets
Command syntax:
(config)# hw-module location <loc> early-fast-discard(config-early-fast-discard)# mode [outer-encap-only | include-inner-encap](config-early-fast-discard)# vlan-cos <0-8> vlan-op [lt | ge]The defaults are 6 and ge (greater than or equal to)(config-early-fast-discard)# ip-prec <0-8> ip-op [lt | ge]The defaults are 6 and ge (greater than or equal to)(config-early-fast-discard)# mpls-exp <0-8> mpls-op [lt | ge]The defaults are 6 and ge (greater than or equal to)(config)# no hw-module location <loc> early-fast-discard•
Cisco IOS XR software Release 3.7.3 added support for the user to override the Power Management feature in order to configure extra line cards without full power supply redundancy.
This feature allows a card to be forced to power up, regardless of an unprogrammed EEPROM power draw value. As with the ROMMON variable, this feature is intended for temporary use. After the cookie value has been programmed, remove this configuration by repeating the CLI command with the ''no'' option.
Command example:
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:ios(admin-config)# hw-mod power override location <loc>•
Starting with Cisco IOS XR software Release 3.7.3, mrouter and membership states on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router no longer need to be relearned after a port goes down. Once a port goes down, the IGMP Snooping feature immediately removes all group membership states from that port. Once an mrouter port goes down, the IGMP Snooping feature removes the port from the list of mrouter ports and removes that port from the flood set of all multicast routes.
New CLI:
tcn_relearning [cisco | rfc4541 | none]For more information on the IGMP Snooping feature on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series router, refer to the Implementing Layer 2 Multicast using IGMP Snooping on Cisco ASR 9000 Series Routers section in the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Multicast Configuration Guide here:
•
Cisco IOS XR software Release 3.7.3 improves the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router VRRP & FRR failover time after a hardware module reload to less than or equal to one second.
•
Layer 2 VPNs can provide pseudo wire resiliency through their routing protocols. When the connectivity between end-to-end PE routers fails, an alternative path to the directed LDP session and the user data takes over. With Cisco IOS XR software Release 3.7.3, the user can fall-back to the preferred path once it has been restored.

Caveats
Caveats describe unexpected behavior in Cisco IOS XR software releases. Severity-1 caveats are the most serious caveats; severity-2 caveats are less serious.
This section lists the caveats for Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router Software Release 4.0.1 and the Cisco ASR 9000 Series platform.
Open Cisco IOS XR Software Release 4.0.3 Caveats
The following open caveats apply to Cisco IOS XR Software Release and are not platform specific:
•
Basic Description:
Show mrib route does not show proper "Flag" output for ExtranetV6
Symptom:
Flag field is incorrect in "show mrib route".
Conditions:
When you have IPv6 MVPN enabled.
Workaround:
There is no work around. It is a show command issue.
Further Problem Description:
None.
•
Basic Description:
SONET_SDH XML does not bind to correct path for history stats
Symptom:
'PM get path data failed : Invalid argument ' message will be displayed on the console
Conditions:
This symptom is observed when querying the SONET_SDH XML schema.
Workaround:
None.
Recovery:
None.
•
Basic Description:
Bundle Member MAC address should not be changed.
Symptom:
Connectivity Fault Management (CFM) symptoms: CFM peers detect a new peer maintenance endpoint (MEP) with a different MAC address when a member interface is added/removed to a bundle. The old peer using the previous MAC address remains in the database for a period of time before timing out (100 minutes by default).
Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) symptoms: If CDP is running on a physical interface that is added or removed from a Bundle-Ether interface, then a peer device reports two CDP neighbors on the same interface for a short period of time until the old entry times out (normally around three minutes).
Conditions:
This issue occurs when running CDP or CFM on a physical interface that is added to or removed from a Bundle-Ether interface.
Workaround:
No workaround is required for CDP. No workaround is available for CFM.
Recovery:
The stale CDP neighbor entry automatically timeouts after less than five minutes and is removed from the CDP neighbor database. This is accompanied by a syslog message like the following example:
cdp[120]: %L2-CDP-6-DELETED_NEIGHBOR : CDP Neighbour foobar on interface GigabitEthernet0/1/0/1 has been deleted, remote interface GigabitEthernet0/1/0/2The stale CFM entry normally timeouts after about 100 minutes. The CLI command clear ethernet cfm peer meps can also be used to clear the CFM MEP table.
Note
Further Problem Description:
This problem is caused because CDP and CFM are using the interface MAC address to identify the peer. When a physical interface is added to a bundle, the MAC address of the physical interface is changed to that of the bundle interface. When a physical interface is removed from a bundle, then the MAC address is reverted back to the BIA MAC address associated with the physical interface.
•
Basic Description:
Slow CLI response during multiple VTY connections.
Symptom:
In Cisco IOS XR software if the telnet or ssh access frequency is very high, the CLI response performance may decrease significantly. The CPU load increases to more than 90% with the top consumer processes of sysdb_svr_local, sysdb_shared_nc, and sysdb_mc. Eventually telnet and ssh access is not possible any more.
Conditions:
This issue occurs with fast consecutive and lasting telnet or ssh login attempts and multiple logins per minute over a long period of time.
Workaround:
Do not use more than three telnet or ssh login attempts per minute continuously over a lasting period of time.
Recovery:
Reduce the frequency of telnet or ssh logins.
•
Basic Description:
"snmpd[1101]: t11 Failed process trap" flooding the console.
Symptom:
–
–
Conditions:
This was seen with "logging trap debug" and "snmp-server traps syslog" configured while a high rate debugs are enabled. This is likely with the above configuration when enabling of "debug snmp trap" as it creates a feedback loop resulting in exponential growth in the rate of syslog traps.
Workaround:
Change any "logging trap debug" configuration to have syslogs of higher severity generated as traps, for example 'logging trap informational' or 'logging trap warning'. It is not recommended to use the configuration 'logging trap debug' as that causes EVERY syslog, including debugs, to be generated as SNMP traps via the CISCO-SYSLOG-MIB. This causes a trap storm.
Recovery:
–

•
Basic Description:
BGP IAS functionality now requires explicit next-hop-self config.
Symptom:
BGP IAS functionality has changed since Cisco IOS XR Release 3.9.x.
Conditions:
End-to-end connectivity for IAS failed due to the removal of implicit next-hop-self configuration.
Workaround:
Explicitly configure next-hop-self.
•
Basic Description:
IPv6 BGP session flapping due to RX path issue.
Symptom:
Few IPv6 BGP sessions configured with <= (15/45) timer might flap during RP FO when configured with NSR.
Conditions:
This issue might occur if the following conditions are met:
1.
2.
3.
Workaround:
No workaround required. Those sessions come up.
Recovery:
Recovery occurs automatically.
•
Basic Description:
cefcModuleOperStatus showing wrong value for SPA-5X1GE in Cisco XR 12000 Series Router XR Release 4.0.0.
Symptom:
On a Cisco router running IOS-XR the value of mib cefcModuleOperStatus changes to 5 during line card reload. A value of 5 is wrong. It should be 2. If a LC with a modular PLIM (SIP) is reloaded, the cefcModuleOperStatus MIB value for the SPAs remains 2. This complies to status "OK" and the card down alarm/ link down service alarms are not generated for the SPAs on the management station.
Conditions:
The problem is only seen during reload of line card.
Workaround:
No workaround is available.
Recovery:
It is a transient issue and recovers automatically when the line card reload is completed.
•
Basic Description:
ARP is not resolved due to ARP not process FIB API return correctly.
Symptom:
ARP entries are not always getting resolved on the second link of parallel links when using proxy ARP, potentially leading to traffic loss.
Conditions:
This issue occurs in Cisco IOS XR releases between 4.0.1 and 4.0.3 using static directed routes and proxy ARP to resolve ARP entries on the second link of parallel links.
Workaround:
None.
Recovery:
None.
•
Basic Description:
Not able to unconfigure LPTS configs.
Symptom:
In Cisco IOS-XR release, de-configuring a location-specific lpts pifib hardware policer fails. Committing the "no" form of the user mode config command, lpts pifib hardware police location <loc> flow <flow type> rate, fails.
The user may observe the following on the failure.
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:my-router(config)#no lpts pifib hardware police location 0/1/CPU0RP/0/RP0/CPU0:my-router(config)#commit% Failed to commit one or more configuration items during a pseudo-atomicoperation.

The problem is not present in Cisco IOS-XR releases prior to Cisco IOS XR Release 4.0.2.
Workaround:
Not available.
Recovery:
Manually configure the location specific "lpts pifib hardware police flow rate" to its default. The default policer rate can be obtained with the following CLI command:
show lpts pifib hardware police location R/S/CPU0
•
Basic Description:
Dumper not honoring "exception choice" config during process crash.
Symptom:
In Cisco IOS XR the core file of a process crash is not stored in the directory specified in the "exception choice" configuration.
Conditions:
A user configured "exception choice" like the following example to store core files in the non-default directory on harddisk in IOS-XR:
exception choice 1 compress on filepath harddisk:/foobarThe core file of a process crash might be written to harddisk:/dumper instead to harddisk:/foobar. The problem is not present in IOS-XR releases prior to Cisco IOS XR Release 4.0.2.
Workaround:
Use the default configuration for writing core files.
Recovery:
The core file is not getting lost after a process crash. It is written to the default directory "dumper" on harddisk.
•
Basic Description:
Fabric plane mcast down after rack reload on Cisco CRS Multishelf.
Symptom:
On a Cisco CRS Multishelf system, the "Oper State" of a fabric plane might be "MCAST_DOWN" after a Line Card Chassis (LCC) reload.
Conditions:
An LCC is reloaded on a CRS Multishelf system. The problem is not consistently reproducible.
Workaround:
None available.
Recovery:
Shut/no shut down the affected fabric plane in admin config mode.
See the following example:
(admin-config)#controllers fabric plane 2 shutdown(admin-config)#commit(admin-config)#no controllers fabric plane 2 shutdown(admin-config)#commit•
Basic Description:
Harddisk Disk Mirroring failed after rack OIR.
Symptom:
On a Cisco CRS-1 or Cisco CRS-3, harddisk mirroring may fail sync with resource busy error after RP reload.
Conditions:
1.
2.
3.
The problem also applies to Cisco IOS XR Release 4.0.1.
Workaround:
None available.
Recovery:
Disable harddisk mirroring in admin config mode.
•
Basic Description:
System running into low memory conditions.
Symptom:
Install activate/deactivate fails with wdsysmon messages on memory shortage.
Conditions:
This issue occurs when the system has many active pies/SMUs, and the system overall is slow on free memory.
Workaround:
Free up system memory by disabling or removing the feature or configuration such as BGP, etc.
Recovery:
Install should fail before PONR, and no manual recovery is needed.
•
Basic Description:
S16: mibd_interfaces crash while polling cIpMRouteNextHopTabl.e
Symptom:
In Cisco IOS-XR a crash of process mibd_interface might be observed when the mroute mib is polled.
Conditions:
Multicast is configured. The OID cIpMRouteNextHopTable of mroute mib is polled.
Workaround:
Not available.
Recovery:
The process is restarted automatically.
•
Basic Description:
GSP crashed when demote/promote message is in a node out-of-order queue.
Symptom:
GSP process crashes. The crash is accompanied by the following syslog message:
LC/0/1/CPU0:Mar 24 10:26:25.012 PST: gsp[186]: %OS-DISTRIB_LIB-3-GSP_TRACE_BACK : gs_mem_release_internal : first attempt to free non pool memory 0x501ffa20 : pkg/bin/gsp : (PID=151620) : -Traceback= 4c87a8e8 40014f58 4002ce38 4003b2a8 4003b9e0 4c2b23c4Conditions:
GSP control messages arrived at one node out of order. This could happen because of the GSP control traffic burst originating from multiple nodes in the system. This condition might occur during router boot up or simultaneous process restart.
Workaround:
Not available.
Recovery:
The GSP process is restarted automatically.
•
Basic Description:
Stale entries seen in show pim ipv4 rpf output even after commit replace.
Symptom:
In Cisco IOS-XR, stale entries are seen in the output of the CLI command, show pim ipv4 rpf'.
Conditions:
This issue occurs under the following conditions:
One or more RP addresses are learned through Auto-RP.
The VRF's multicast configuration is removed.
Workaround:
Not applicable.
Recovery:
Restart the PIM process.
•
Basic Description:
EDM request Timeouts from online_diag_lc for Cisco CRS-3 LCs in steady state.
Symptom:
In Cisco IOS-XR, SYSDB-SYSDB-6-TIMEOUT_EDM syslog messages might be displayed steadily.
Conditions:
A syslog message like the following example might be displayed steadily:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:Mar 29 10:20:05.152 : sysdb_svr_admin[346]: %SYSDB-SYSDB-6-TIMEOUT_EDM : EDM request for 'admin/oper/fabric/rack/2/lport/s1tx/' from 'online_diag_lc' (jid 227, node 2/3/CPU0). No response from 'fsdb_server' (jid 211, node 2/RP1/CPU0) within the timeout period (100 seconds).It indicates that certain EDM requests are rejected by the sysdb. The reason is that the sysdb is not able to allocate memory for replies because of memory fragmentation. The probability of hitting this problem is low.
Workaround:
Not available.
Recovery:
Restart the sysdb_svr_admin process: process restart sysdb_svr_admin
•
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:
–
–
Workaround:
The commit must be performed in two steps:
1.
2.
Caveats Specific to the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router
The following caveats are specific to the Cisco ASR 9000 Series platform:
•
Basic Description:
After OIR, OC-192 SPA fails to come up, its in disabled state.
Symptom:
Sometimes a SPA might fail to come up after insertion and is kept in DISABLED state. A message is logged indicating "PLATFORM-SPAQFPBridgeCtrl-1-SPI_BUSx_ERROR" for this slot/bay, and the SPA is "DISABLED". The show platform CLI shows the SPA in "DISABLED" state.
Conditions:
SPA is physically removed and then reinserted within 15 seconds after removal.
Recovery:
Remove the SPA. Examine the SIP bay connector pins and the SPA connector pins for any damage. If there is no damage, reinsert the SPA. If the SPA fails to come up again, call tech support.
•
Basic Description:
Set qos-grp/discard-class/exp-imp not working for L2->BVI(L3) path.
Symptom:
For packets forwarded from L2->BVI (L3) path if the policy attached to the L2 interface has "set action" on qos-group/discard-class/exp-imposition, they are not effective. Similarly for packets forwarded from L3 (ingress)-L3(BVI)>L2 path if the policy on L3 ingress interface has "set action" for qos-group/discard-class they are not effective as well. This results in not having a mechanism to implement Diffserve tunnel models (uniform/pipe/short-pipe) for BVI traffic. For such traffic the qos-group/discard-class are set to 0. Default Exp is based on DSCP of the packet and cannot be changed by using "set exp-imposition" from QOS policymap. However, for L2->L2 path or L3->L3 regular paths without any BVI interaction, these markings (qos-group/discard-class/exp-imposition) work as expected.
Conditions:
This issue affects BVI routed traffic, where you want to influence the exp-imposition/qos-group/discard-class using an ingress policymap on the L2 or L3 interface.
Workaround:
There are no workarounds for set-actions for qos-group/discard-class for BVI traffic. For L2->BVI path, DSCP of the packet could be modified using an ingress policy, which would set exp based on the modified DSCP.
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. Refer to Table 1 for a list of the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router software feature set matrix (PIE files) and associated filenames available for the Cisco IOS XR Software Release 4.0.3 supported on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router.
