Cisco 8200, 8600, 8700, and 8800 Series Routers


Note


In Release 24.4.1, BGP and IGP take approximately 10% longer to initiate the traffic flow compared to Release 24.3.1. This delay occurs after any event that triggers new bulk route learning and downloads, such as a router or line card reload, or any other event that can create such a condition.

For example, in the case of BGP IPv4 with a scale of 1 million routes, the route download could take an additional 10 to 15 seconds in Release 24.4.1 compared to Release 24.3.1.

The BGP and IGP traffic delay is only during the initial route programming phase. Once all routes have been learned, there are no functional impacts.

Delays in starting traffic flow cases occur only in situations involving router or line card reloads when using Fast Re-Route (FRR) and Equal-Cost Multi-Path (ECMP) as redundancy mechanisms for the data path.

Feature Description

Setup and Upgrade

Immutable bootstrap configurations

Introduced in this release on: Fixed Systems (8200 [ASIC: Q200, P100], 8700 [ASIC: P100, K100]); Centralized Systems (8600 [ASIC:Q200]) ; Modular Systems (8800 [LC ASIC: Q100, Q200, P100])

You can now ensure your router always boots up in a known good state. This feature prevents unauthorized changes to the router's boot configuration, ensuring that it remains static and tamper-proof. This maintains the integrity and security of the router from the initial boot stage and throughout its entire operation.

Programmability

Data logging with gNSI AcctzStream service

Introduced in this release on: Fixed Systems(8200, 8700); Centralized Systems (8600); Modular Systems (8800 [LC ASIC: Q100, Q200, P100]).

This feature replaces the existing bi-directional data streaming service, Acctz, with the new server-streaming service, AcctzStream. In this unidirectional data streaming service, while the router continues to send accounting records to the collector (until the connection is terminated), the collector, on the other hand, sends only the timestamp on its initial connection with the router. With this feature, you can configure the maximum memory allocated for cached accounting history records thus ensuring effective network optimization and resource utilization.

The feature introduces these changes:

CLI:

For specifications on the gNSI Accounting (AcctzStream) RPCs and messages, refer to the Github repository.

gNOI Healthz

Introduced in this release on: Fixed Systems (8200 [ASIC: Q200, P100], 8700 [ASIC: P100, K100]); Centralized Systems (8600 [ASIC:Q200]); Modular Systems (8800 [LC ASIC: Q100, Q200, P100])

With gNOI Healthz, you can monitor and troubleshoot device health by collecting logs and conducting root-cause analysis on detected issues. This proactive approach enables early identification and resolution of system health problems, thereby reducing downtime and enhancing reliability.

For the specification on gNOI.healthz, see the GitHub repository.

gRPC server TLS version 1.3 support

Introduced in this release on: Fixed Systems (8200 [ASIC: Q200, P100], 8700 [ASIC: P100, K100]); Centralized Systems (8600 [ASIC:Q200]); Modular Systems (8800 [LC ASIC: Q100, Q200, P100])

You can now enhance your network security by enabling TLS 1.3 support for your gRPC services. The TLS 1.3 version offers stronger protection against vulnerabilities, eliminates outdated ciphers, and ensures forward secrecy in data encryption by generating a unique session key for each new network session.

The feature introduces these changes:

CLI:

Tracking and Synchronization of PBR PolicyMap Statistics Using Unique IDs and InsightD

Introduced in this release on: Fixed Systems (8200 [ASIC: Q200, P100], 8700 [ASIC: P100, K100]); Centralized Systems (8600 [ASIC:Q200]); Modular Systems (8800 [LC ASIC: Q100, Q200, P100])

You can now accurately track, store, and synchronize per-rule statistics for PBR policy maps using unique IDs. These unique IDs are registered with InsightDB through a mapping mechanism, which includes a global key (a combination of policy map and Rule in string format) and a local key (an allocated unique number of uint64 type).

To know more about creating a Service Layer API for Interfaces, see Cisco IOS-XR Service Layer Interfaces.

This feature modifies Cisco-IOS-XR-pbr-fwd-stats-oper (see GitHub, YANG Data Models Navigator) data model.

Service Level API Enhancements for Policy-Based Routing

Introduced in this release on: Fixed Systems (8200 [ASIC: Q200, P100], 8700 [ASIC: P100, K100]); Centralized Systems (8600 [ASIC:Q200]); Modular Systems (8800 [LC ASIC: Q100, Q200, P100])

You can now programmatically create policy-maps and rules or class-maps using the Service Layer API (SL API). This feature allows programmatically applying and removing policy-maps on router interfaces to manage incoming traffic according to defined policies.

The SL API infrastructure facilitates granular control over the forwarding plane by enabling external clients to interact with the router’s routing services, such as the FIB,RIB, and LSD. This interaction allows for precise and dynamic routing decisions based on the programmed policies, enhancing overall network management and efficiency.

You can use GET or GET ALL RPCs to fetch the policies configured on the router and the interfaces on which they are applied by SL-API.

  • SLPolicyGlobalGet – Retrieve Global Policy capabilities

  • SLPolicyGet - Retrieve all Policies and its rules and the interfaces where the policy is applied from the server

Validation of Route Installation Using Service Layer API

Introduced in this release on: Fixed Systems (8200 [ASIC: Q200, P100], 8700 [ASIC: P100, K100]); Centralized Systems (8600 [ASIC:Q200]); Modular Systems (8800 [LC ASIC: Q100, Q200, P100])

You can now validate route installation through hardware acknowledgements.

This feature supports Label Switched Path (LSP) selection based on IP Class-Based Forwarding (CBF) for optimized traffic engineering. It also dynamically updates routing information using next-hop and Next Hop Group (NHG) tracking based on network events and supports forward references between objects for flexible programming.

Previously, route installation confirmation, traffic engineering optimization, dynamic routing updates, and flexible programming required more manual configuration and monitoring.

To know more about creating a Service Layer API for Interfaces, see Cisco IOS-XR Service Layer Interfaces.

Nexthop Resolution

Introduced in this release on: Fixed Systems (8200 [ASIC: Q200, P100], 8700 [ASIC: P100, K100]); Centralized Systems (8600 [ASIC:Q200]); Modular Systems (8800 [LC ASIC: Q100, Q200, P100])

Nexthop resolution ensures that BGP paths are valid and optimal, minimizing traffic loss and enhancing network performance.

Nexthop resolution determines the reachability and metrics of nexthops in a network using a gRPC callback API provided by XR. This process involves registering nexthop IP addresses and receiving updates on their resolution status and IGP metrics. The feature supports incremental registration, resolution status monitoring, and timely updates, making it scalable for large-scale data centers.

To know more about creating a Service Layer API for Interfaces, see Cisco Service Layer API Documentation.

The feature introduces these changes:

CLI:

Support of IP traffic callback and MPLS traffic callback

Introduced in this release on: Fixed Systems (8200 [ASIC: Q200, P100], 8700 [ASIC: P100, K100]); Centralized Systems (8600 [ASIC:Q200]); Modular Systems (8800 [LC ASIC: Q100, Q200, P100])

This feature ensures the integrity and efficiency of network traffic by verifying that routes and MPLS tunnels are ready to receive traffic before being advertised or used.

This feature includes two traffic callback components: the Safe to Receive IP Traffic Callback, which uses a gRPC callback API to confirm route readiness, and the Safe to Receive MPLS Traffic Callback, which provides a callback to verify MPLS tunnel readiness. Both components enhance network reliability by preventing packet loss and ensuring smooth traffic flow through timely updates.

To know more about creating a Service Layer API for Interfaces, see Cisco Service Layer API Documentation.

Interface Status check of Service Layer API

Introduced in this release on: Fixed Systems (8200 [ASIC: Q200, P100], 8700 [ASIC: P100, K100]); Centralized Systems (8600 [ASIC:Q200]); Modular Systems (8800 [LC ASIC: Q100, Q200, P100])

You can now receive low latency notifications for interface state and bandwidth changes via SL- API within 100ms. This feature ensures that when a physical or bundle interface changes its state or bandwidth, notifications are delivered promptly to the customer’s SDN agent. The system uses gRPC-based streaming APIs, allowing clients to subscribe to all or specific interfaces. This ensures timely and reliable delivery of interface events to the customer's SDN agent.

To know more about creating a Service Layer API for Interfaces, see Cisco Service Layer API Documentation.

Routing

BGP BFD Strict-Mode Capabilities for Improved Interoperability

Introduced in this release on: Fixed Systems (8200 [ASIC: P100], 8700 [ASIC: P100]); Modular Systems (8800 [LC ASIC: P100])

You now have the ability to upgrade your network using Cisco's BGP BFD strict-mode negotiate and strict-mode negotiate override modes. These modes improve stability and cooperation between Cisco IOS XR and Cisco IOS XE devices. They ensure BGP sessions start only when BFD sessions are active. The override option enforces this even if a peer device does not support strict-mode. The feature ensures that a BGP session is established between neighbors only after the BFD session is established and stable. This ensures that the BFD functions as intended during a failure, promoting network stability and reliability.

This feature introduces these changes:

Delay and synthetic loss measurement for GRE tunnel interfaces

Introduced in this release on: Fixed Systems (8200); Centralized Systems (8600); Modular Systems (8800 [LC ASIC: Q100, Q200, P100])

You can now measure the latency or delay experienced by data packets when they traverse a network, and also proactively monitor and address potential network issues before they impact users by measuring key parameters such as packet loss, and jitter for GRE tunnel interfaces.

This feature enables you to report synthetic Two-Way Active Measurement Protocol (TWAMP) test packets that are deployed in delay-profile or delay measurement sessions, and enables delay measurement for GRE tunnel interfaces.

The feature introduces these changes:

CLI:

The performance-measurement interface command supports the tunnel-ip keyword.

Fallback delay advertisement

Introduced in this release on: Fixed Systems (8200); Centralized Systems (8600); Modular Systems (8800 [LC ASIC: Q100, Q200, P100])

You can now advertise fallback delay value, retaining delay information in performance metrics even when delay metrics for interfaces are temporarily unavailable due to hardware, synchronization, or network connectivity issues. The feature ensures optimal routing decisions by maintaining network stability and consistent performance, even when real-time metrics are temporarily unavailable.

Previously, the performance metrics did not include delay metrics when they were temporarily inaccessible, resulting in visibility gaps in the network and less effective routing.

The feature introduces these changes:

CLI:

The performance-measurement interface command is modified with a new advertise-delay fallback keyword.

YANG Data Models:

  • Cisco-IOS-XR-um-performance-measurement-cfg.yang

Far-end delay metrics in one-way measurement mode

Introduced in this release on: Fixed Systems (8200); Centralized Systems (8600); Modular Systems (8800 [LC ASIC: Q100, Q200, P100])

Segment Routing Performance Monitoring (SR PM) now enables network operators to compute both far-end (T4 – T3) and near-end (T2 – T1) delay metrics, offering a comprehensive view of end-to-end delay across the data path. Measuring far-end delay, from the responder to the querier node, enhances visibility and allows operators to precisely monitor and assess network performance.

Previously, you could measure the near-end delay metrics for a given data path.

Flexible algorithm with bandwidth optimization

Introduced in this release on: Fixed Systems(8200, 8700); Centralized Systems (8600); Modular Systems (8800 [LC ASIC: Q100, Q200, P100])

The enhanced IGP flexible algorithm path computation optimizes routing paths by automatically adjusting to changes in link bandwidth, which is especially beneficial for handling parallel L3 links and dynamic bandwidth variations, such as in L2 link bundles. The algorithm ensures optimal capacity paths by considering the cumulative bandwidth of parallel links and prefers paths with the highest available bandwidth, improving performance for high-bandwidth traffic flows. In addition to traditional metrics like link delay or monetary cost, the algorithm can also optimize paths based on the maximum available bandwidth of links, which can be locally configured or computed from advertised link bandwidth.

The feature introduces these changes:

CLI:

YANG Data Models:

SR-TE policy with enhanced flexible algorithm metric types

Introduced in this release on: Fixed Systems(8200, 8700); Centralized Systems (8600); Modular Systems (8800 [LC ASIC: Q100, Q200, P100])

We have enhanced the SR-TE policy at headend with flexible algorithm that supports additional metric types, user-defined and bandwidth, ensuring consistent path computation across flexible algorithm metric types and constraints, on both intra-IGP and inter-IGP domains. The feature also supports headend computed inter-domain SR policies with Flex Algo constraints and IGP redistribution or leaking.

YANG Data Models:

SRv6 double recursion for multilayer BGP underlay

Introduced in this release on: Fixed Systems (8200); Centralized Systems (8600); Modular Systems (8800 [LC ASIC: Q200, P100])

The feature introduces support for SRv6 double recursion, where network services such as BGP VPNs (Layer 2 and Layer 3) require multiple resolution layers. Specifically, one routing layer resolves over another before reaching the final destination. Double recursion is achieved by collapsing the underlay, typically involving protocols like IGP or BGP in the packet forwarding chain. This enables three-level load balancing and an even distribution of traffic across multiple layers of the network stack.

The feature is supported on the ingress Provider Edge (PE) router.

The feature introduces these changes:

CLI:

YANG Data Models:

  • Cisco-IOS-XR-um-router-rib-cfg:router (see GitHub, Yang Data Models Navigator) data model.

Segment routing Tree-SID interoperability and SR-P2MP enhancements

Introduced in this release on: Fixed Systems (8200); Centralized Systems (8600); Modular Systems (8800 [LC ASIC: Q100, Q200, P100])

The feature introduces enhancements to the SR Tree-SID functionality and SR-P2MP Policy, enabling full alignment with the Path Computation Element Protocol (PCEP) standard as per IETF specifications.

VRF-to-VRF route leaking enables sharing of routes between VRFs while maintaining their isolation. This feature allows the source VRF to send leaked routes to remote PEs or Route Reflectors (RRs) across an SRv6 core network, similar to an MPLS core network, enabling communication between different service tenants or administrative domains without compromising VRF isolation.

BGP

Per-VRF label allocation for VPN routes

Introduced in this release on: Fixed Systems (8200 [ASIC:Q200, P100], 8700 [ASIC: P100, K100] ); Centralized Systems (8600 [ASIC:Q200]); Modular Systems (8800 [LC ASIC: Q100, Q200, P100])

This feature modifies the default label allocation from per-prefix to per-VRF by allowing you to enforce per-VRF label allocation for imported VPN routes using the advertise vpn-imported label-mode per-vrf command.

This feature introduces these changes:

CLI:

YANG Data Model:

Selective FIB Download

Introduced in this release on: Fixed Systems (8200, 8700); Centralized Systems (8600); Modular Systems (8800 [LC ASIC: Q200])

You can now selectively download BGP prefixes to the Routing Information Base (RIB) and Forwarding Information Base (FIB). This feature prevents traffic drops by ensuring that traffic follows default routes when specific destination routes are unavailable.

Simultaneous monitoring of Adj-RIB-In Pre-Policy and Post-Policy views

Introduced in this release on: Fixed Systems (8200, 8700); Centralized Systems (8600); Modular Systems (8800 [LC ASIC: Q100, Q200, P100])

You can now monitor BGP events and collect BGP route information both before and after applying policy filters. This feature allows you to view the Adj-RIB-In pre-policy and post-policy views simultaneously for all BGP peers, making it easier to troubleshoot routing policies and verify Remotely Triggered Black Hole (RTBH) routes.

This feature introduces these changes:

CLI:

This feature modifies the following commands:

Interface and Hardware Component

Always-On SPAN-to-File with periodic write

Introduced in this release on: Fixed Systems(8200, 8700); Centralized Systems (8600); Modular Systems (8800 [LC ASIC: Q100, Q200, P100]).

The routers can now provide reliable, always-available packet capture for post-event analysis, eliminating the need for prior configuration or user interaction.

The enhanced SPAN-to-File feature provides continuous packet capture and debugging capability with always-on functionality that starts automatically upon destination configuration. It prevents data loss during node reloads by periodically writing packet buffer contents to disk, without stopping the capture. A default SPAN-to-File session for forwarding and buffer drops is always active and can be disabled if not needed. The feature also supports packet truncation and sampling in software for software-mirrored packets, independent of NPU capabilities.

The feature introduces these changes:

Introduced in this release on: Fixed Systems(8200, 8700); Centralized Systems (8600); Modular Systems (8800 [LC ASIC: Q100, Q200, P100])

The number of supported Connectivity Fault Management (CFM) sessions is now increased to 500. This enhancement improves fault detection, network visibility, scalability, and troubleshooting, which are crucial for managing high-performance networks.

Layer 2 interface VLAN encapsulation using VLAN ranges and lists

Introduced in this release on: Fixed Systems (8200, 8700)(select variants only*); Centralized Systems (8600); Modular Systems (8800 [LC ASIC: Q200, P100])(select variants only*)

You can now leverage the VLAN ranges and lists to effectively separate networks operating over shared links and devices. VLAN encapsulation is typically determined by the access network and customer edge (CE) device, limiting the network provider's control over the VLAN tag or Ethernet type of customer traffic.

The VLAN ranges and lists support various customer traffic types, enhancing network flexibility and management.

*This feature is supported on:

  • 8201-32FH

  • 8201-24H8FH

  • 8202-32FH-M

  • 8212-48FH-M

Machine check error notifications

Introduced in this release on: Fixed Systems (8200, 8700); Centralized Systems (8600); Modular Systems (8800 [LC ASIC: Q100, Q200, P100])

You can now identify and resolve MCE-related issues quickly and easily because Cisco IOS XR Software displays a syslog notification for MCE errors, eliminating the need to manually check for them in the MCE log file.

Periodic syslog messages for shutdowns due to fault-recovery failures

Introduced in this release on: Centralized Systems (8600); Modular Systems (8800 [LC ASIC: Q100, Q200, P100])

Cisco IOS XR Software now generates a syslog message immediately to indicate its shutdown state after a Line Card (LC), Fabric Card (FC), or Route Processor (RP) shuts down due to fault-recovery failure. This syslog message is repeated every 60 minutes to keep you informed of the shutdown status.

This enhancement helps in identifying and troubleshooting shutdown LC, FC, or RP components.

Unidirectional Link Detection Protocol support on physical Ethernet interfaces

Introduced in this release on: Fixed Systems(8200, 8700)(select variants only*); Modular Systems (8800 [LC ASIC: P100]).

The Unidirectional Link Detection Protocol (UDLD) is now supported on the Physical Ethernet interfaces on the Cisco Silicon One P100 ASIC-based Systems. This feature helps detect faults and miswiring conditions with unbundled fiber links and enables each device to understand its own connections as well as those of its neighbors.

*This feature is supported on:

  • 8212-48FH-M

  • 8711-32FH-M

  • 8712-MOD-M

This feature introduces these changes:

L2VPN

Dot1Q Q-in-Q (0x8100/0x8100) Tunneling for VLAN Subinterface Encapsulation

Introduced in this release on: Fixed Systems (8200 [ASIC: Q200, P100], 8700 [ASIC: P100, K100]); Centralized Systems (8600 [ASIC:Q200]); Modular Systems (8800 [LC ASIC: Q100, Q200, P100])

We have optimized VLAN implementation by enabling service providers to:

  • expand VLAN space to segregate their networks for customers with multiple VLANs and overlapping VLAN IDs.

  • enhance service mapping for efficiently differentiating data packets and applying QoS policies based on users and services.

Such optimization is possible because this release supports Dot1Q Q-in-Q (0x8100/0x8100) encapsulation for VLAN subinterfaces. This involves configuring these subinterfaces to add an outer 802.1Q tag to packets that are already carrying an 802.1Q VLAN tag.

The support for Dot1Q Q-in-Q (0x8100/0x8100) Tunneling for VLAN Subinterface Encapsulation is now extended to all systems in the Cisco 8000 Series Routers.

Enhance network efficiency and scalability with GIL pruning for PWHE interfaces

Introduced in this release on: Modular Systems (8800 [LC ASIC: P100])(select variants only*)

You can now manage hardware resources for a Pseudowire Headend (PWHE) interface more efficiently by limiting PWHE replication to the line card locations where the interfaces listed in the Generic Interface List (GIL) are physically present. This optimization ensures that resource usage is confined to only the necessary line cards.

The router internally synchronizes the PWHE underlay with the GIL using a mechanism known as GIL pruning. The GIL consists of a subset of core-facing IGP/LDP-enabled interfaces expected to transmit pseudowire traffic for the PWHE interface.

This feature is enabled by default and does not require any user configuration.

*This feature is supported on:

  • 88-LC1-52Y8H-EM

  • 88-LC1-12TH24FH-E

Increase in pseudowire scale on Cisco 8000 Series Routers

Introduced in this release on: Fixed Systems (8200, 8700)(select variants only*); Centralized Systems (8600); Modular Systems (8800 [LC ASIC: P100])

Introduced in this release on: Fixed Systems (8200, 8700); Centralized Systems (8600); Modular Systems (8800 [LC ASIC: Q200, P100]).

This feature allows to prevent the MPLS labelled traffic or IP traffic to destinations associated with a segment routing prefix SID from resolving over the MPLS-TE tunnel thus ensuring optimal hardware resource utilization.

This feature enhances the existing configuration that prevents only the MPLS labelled segment routing traffic from steering into the MPLS-TE tunnel.

The feature introduces these changes:

CLI:

The all keyword is introduced in the autoroute announce exclude-traffic segment-routing command.

RSVP-TE Transport Solution with Flex LSP Headend

Introduced in this release on: Fixed Systems (8200, 8700); Centralized Systems (8600); Modular Systems (8800 [LC ASIC: Q100, Q200, P100])

You can enable the router to compute

  • a primary LSP path,

  • a secondary LSP path,

  • a dynamic restore path serves as a backup to the primary LSP path, and

  • another dynamic restore path acts as a backup to the secondary LSP path.

During the primary LSP path failure, the headend router computes a new dynamic restore primary path by reusing the links from the failed primary LSP path, and during the secondary LSP path or backup path or protecting path failure, the headend router computes a new dynamic restore path by reusing the links from the failed secondary LSP path.

CLI:

The protected-by keyword is enhanced to include two backup paths in the path-option command.

Multicast

LSM mLDP based MVPN bud or tail node enhancements on edge routers

Introduced in this release on: Fixed Systems(8200, 8700); Centralized Systems (8600); Modular Systems (8800 [LC ASIC: Q200, P100]).

This feature extends the support for the rendezvous point (RP) placement on the LSM mLDP based mVPN bud or tail node on edge routers.

With this feature, the BUD node is now supported on these profiles: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 17, 19, 23, 25, 27, 28, and 29.

Previously, the BUD node was supported only on Profiles 21 and 22.

System Security

IPv6 support for CA enrollment URL

Introduced in this release on: Fixed Systems (8200 [ASIC: Q200, P100], 8700 [ASIC: P100, K100]); Centralized Systems (8600 [ASIC:Q200]) ; Modular Systems (8800 [LC ASIC: Q100, Q200, P100])

You can enhance network compatibility and simplify management in modern network environments using IPv6 addresses and CA server URLs that resolve to IPv6 addresses as enrollment URLs for the CA hosted on IPv6-based servers. This improvement addresses previous limitations that caused configuration issues and failures when using IPv6 CA enrollment URL.

MACsec Encryption on Layer 3 Subinterfaces

Introduced in this release on: Centralized Systems (8600 [ASIC:Q200])

You can now configure MACsec policy on Layer 3 subinterfaces, which gives you the flexibility to apply MACsec policies to different L3 subinterfaces that belong to the same main physical interface. This capability is possible because we've enabled the router to keep the VLAN tags unencrypted, enabling the L3 subinterfaces to be the MACsec endpoints. When you apply MACsec policies on these subinterfaces, you can enhance the overall security of your network by adding an extra layer of security to the communication between different subnets.

The MACsec Encryption on Layer 3 Subinterfaces feature support is now extended to Cisco 8608 Routers.

Multi-auth MAC Authentication Bypass

Introduced in this release on: Fixed Systems (8200 [ASIC: Q100]) (*select variants only)

You can enhance network flexibility by enabling multiple hosts on a single port using MAC Authentication Bypass (MAB). The router now supports up to two clients per port by expanding its MAC learning capability from one to two. It authenticates each MAC address individually, allowing multi-domain authentication and enabling independent management of two endpoints. This feature simplifies network management and increases the connectivity options for devices per port.

*This feature is supported on the 8201-SYS routers.

Per-NPU hash rotation

Introduced in this release on: Fixed Systems (8200 [ASIC: Q200, P100], 8700 [ASIC: P100, K100]); Centralized Systems (8600 [ASIC:Q200]); Modular Systems (8800 [LC ASIC: Q100, Q200, P100])

You can now configure the hash rotation value for each Network Processing Unit (NPU) to improve traffic load balancing and minimize traffic polarization. Alternatively, the value can be automatically calculated, eliminating the need for manual configuration.

RADIUS with TLS protection

Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) packets are now less vulnerable to security risks, including data exposure, replay attacks, weak authentication, and encryption weaknesses. This is because we have enabled support for RADIUS with TLS protection.

You can configure the RADIUS protocol on the router to redirect RADIUS packets to a remote server over TLS for Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting (AAA) services.

The feature introduces these changes:

CLI:

YANG Data Models:

  • New Xpath for

MACsec Encryption on 8711-32FH-M

Introduced in this release on: Fixed Systems (8700 [ASIC: P100]) (select variants only*)

MACsec, the Layer 2 encryption protocol, secures data on physical media and provides data integrity and confidentiality.

*We now support MACsec encryption on all ports of8711-32FH-M.

TLS version 1.3 support

Introduced in this release on: Fixed Systems (8200 [ASIC: Q200, P100], 8700 [ASIC: P100, K100]); Centralized Systems (8600 [ASIC:Q200]); Modular Systems (8800 [LC ASIC: Q100, Q200, P100])

We have enhanced the security and performance of the routers by upgrading to TLS version 1.3. This version minimizes vulnerabilities by eliminating outdated algorithms and ensuring forward secrecy. Additionally, TLS 1.3 improves router performance by providing faster connection times and reducing latency. The routers will now use TLS version 1.3 as the default for all TLS session establishment requests. If the peer device does not support TLS version 1.3, the router will automatically revert to TLS version 1.2.

System Management

Support for Precision Time Protocol (PTP)

Introduced in this release on: Fixed Systems (8200 [ASIC: P100]) (select variants only*)

* With this release, support for PTP telecom profiles 8262, 8264, 8273.2, and 8275.1 is extended to the Cisco 8212-48FH-M router.

Important Notes

  • The warning message that the smart licensing evaluation period has expired is displayed in the console every hour. There is, however, no functionality impact on the device. The issue is seen on routers that don’t have the Flexible Consumption licensing model enabled. To stop the repetitive messaging, register the device with the smart licensing server and enable the Flexible Consumption model. Later load a new registration token.

    To register the device with the smart licensing server, see the Registering and Activating Your Router.

  • The Cisco IOS-XR Release 24.4.1 does not support ASIC Reset Use-case and Monitoring.

Licensing

Starting with Cisco IOS XR Release 24.1.1, Smart Licensing Using Policy (SLP) is the default Licensing model. When you upgrade to the Cisco IOS XR Release 24.1.1 release or later, the Smart Licensing Using Policy is enabled by default.

You can migrate your devices to Smart Licensing with Policy model, see Migrating from Smart Licensing to Smart Licensing Using Policy, Smart Licensing Using Policy on Cisco IOS XR Routers.

We recommend that you update to the latest version of SSM On-Prem or Cisco Smart Licensing Utility.


Note


SSM On-Prem and CSSM both support SLP devices and SL devices. SLP devices and SL devices can coexist in a network. The Smart Licensing (SL) model is available in releases Cisco IOS XR Release 7.11.1 and earlier.


Production Software Maintenance Updates (SMUs)

A production SMU is a SMU that is formally requested, developed, tested, and released. Production SMUs are intended for use in a live network environment and are formally supported by the Cisco TAC and the relevant development teams. Software bugs identified through software recommendations or Bug Search Tools are not a basis for production SMU requests.

For information on production SMU types, refer the Production SMU Types section of the IOS XR Software Maintenance Updates (SMUs) guide.
