Cisco IOS XE Software

Q.  What is Cisco IOS ® XE Software?
A.  Cisco IOS XE Software is part of the Cisco IOS Software Family. Cisco IOS XE Software is a modular software built on a Linux kernel and based on Cisco IOS Software Release 12.2SR for Cisco IOS XE 2.1 through 2.6 and Cisco IOS Software Release 15S starting with Cisco IOS XE Software Release 3.1S.
Q.  What is the Cisco IOS XE architecture?
A.  The Cisco IOS XE operating system design is based on a distributed control plane. A separate control processor is included on each major component of the Cisco ASR 1000 Series. For example, the route processor, ESP, and SIP have their own processors, which are responsible for managing the local resources, data structures, and so on. In addition, the route processor controls other components of the system such as power entry modules, midplane ID, and so on, using dedicated signals. Certain SPAs contain processors that communicate using Interprocess Communication (IPC) and have loadable software. In addition, the Cisco Flow Processor on the ESP contains multiple, parallel processors running data and control-plane software. The communication between the control processors does not expose the details of the internal design of the components in order to allow easier evolution of the components.
Q.  Is Cisco IOS XE Software the next-generation replacement of Cisco IOS Software?
A.  No. Cisco IOS XE Software is an addition to the Cisco IOS Software Family and is designed to enable the ASR 1000 Series to meet the scalability, availability, and service flexibility requirements for the next generation network edge, encompassing enterprise, broadband aggregation, high-end managed Customer Premise Equipment (CPE), and service provider edge applications.
Q.  Can different Cisco IOS Software releases operate in the same network with the Cisco IOS XE Software releases?
A.  Yes, Cisco took special care to preserve the interoperability.
Q.  Does Cisco IOS XE Software use the same Command-Line Interface (CLI) as Cisco IOS Software?
A.  Cisco IOS XE Software uses the Cisco IOS Software CLI. It has additional commands to accommodate the Cisco IOS XE operating system infrastructure and capabilities of the ASR 1000 Series.
Q.  What is the frequency of Cisco IOS XE Software releases?
A.  Cisco introduced a new software release strategy with the introduction of the Cisco IOS XE operating system. This strategy accelerates the availability of software and hardware features by introducing a time-based release scheme. Every 4 months a new Cisco IOS XE Software Release is made available with new features. Details of the new software release strategy are discussed in the product bulletin, which is available at https://www.cisco.com/go/asr1000.
Q.  What Cisco IOS XE Software images are you offering for the ASR 1000 Series?
A.  The images are referred to as consolidated packages. For the Cisco IOS XE Software, the consolidated packages have been simplified into four options that run on the route processor. Cisco ASR RP2 packages are supported on the RP2 route processors, respectively.
The ASR 1001-X, ASR 1002-HX, and ASR 1002-X chassis have a route processor integrated and run specific consolidated packages, respectively. The respective functions as delivered in IP Base (K9 and non-K9), Advanced IP Services (K9 and non-K9), and Advanced Enterprise Services (K9 and non-K9) are enforced through software licenses. For more details about the software activation on the ASR 1000, refer to the Cisco ASR 1000 Software Activation Product Bulletin, which covers the details of software activation on the ASR 1000.
The ASR 1000 Series allows you to upgrade or downgrade SIP and SPA software sub-packages without operationally affecting other SIP and SPA functions within the same chassis.
Q.  How can I deploy the value-added features on ASR 1000 Series Routers?
A.  First, select a Cisco IOS XE Software consolidated package that supports the required features. Second, check whether this feature requires a software license. If it does, you must purchase the required license in addition to the Cisco IOS XE consolidated package. The consolidated package and license are linked to the chassis, so if you upgrade from one route processor to another or from one ESP to another, you do not need to purchase a new consolidated package or feature license.
The part numbers for the licenses and consolidated packages that are available at First Customer Ship (FCS) are listed in the “Ordering Information” section. Note that in the future more licenses will be introduced. With the ASR 1001-X, ASR 1001- HX, ASR1002-HX, and ASR 1002-X, system performances are now enforced through software activation. For more details about the software activation on the ASR 1001-X, ASR 1001-HX, ASR1002-HX, and ASR 1002- X, refer to the Cisco ASR 1000 Software Activation Product Bulletin, which covers the details of software activation on the ASR 1001 and ASR 1002-X chassis. For details about ordering, refer to the ordering guide product bulletin posted on https://www.cisco.com/go/asr1000.
Q.  What kind of software modularity is offered with Cisco IOS XE Software?
A.  Each consolidated package for the ASR 1000 Series consists of seven different sub-packages. The sub packages are designed to increase the In- Service Software Upgrade (ISSU) capability. Table 8 describes the functions of each of the seven sub-packages.
