| Feature | Description | ||
|---|---|---|---|
|
System Error Messages |
|||
|
An intuitive interface to view, search, compare, and download Cisco IOS XR Error Messages. |
|||
|
System Setup |
|||
|
Secure Zero Touch Provisioning with Removable Storage Device |
This feature allows you to securely sign onboarding data in a removable storage device so that you can use the device for secure ZTP operations. This support gives you the plug-and-play flexibility for ZTP without any additional infrastructure requirements. |
||
|
Telemetry |
|||
|
This feature streams telemetry data about header decapsulation statistics for traffic that uses the Policy-Based Routing (PBR)
functionality to bypass a routing table lookup for egress. You use the |
|||
|
Programmability |
|||
|
When you create and run Python scripts on the router, this feature enables a contextual interaction between the scripts, the IOS XR software, and the external servers. This context, programmed in the script, uses Cisco IOS XR Python packages, modules, and libraries to:
|
|||
|
The openconfig-platform YANG data model provides a structure for querying hardware and software router components via the NETCONF protocol. This release delivers an enhanced openconfig-platform YANG data model to provide information about:
|
|||
|
This feature enables you to use remote procedure calls (RPCs) on YANG data models to perform the same automated operations as CLIs, such as edit configurations or retrieve router information. |
|||
|
Model-driven CLI to Display Running Configuration in XML and JSON Formats |
This feature enables you to display the configuration data for Cisco IOS XR platforms in both JSON and XML formats. This feature introduces the show run | [xml | json] command. |
||
|
This feature enables you to use a traditional CLI command to display YANG data model structures on the router console and also obtain operational data from the router in JSON or XML formats. The functionality helps you transition smoothly between CLI and YANG models, easing data retrieval from your router and network. This feature introduces the show yang operational command. |
|||
|
This feature lets you host and execute your automation scripts directly on a router running IOS XR software, instead of managing them on external controllers. The scripts available on-box can now leverage Python libraries, access the underlying router information to execute CLI commands, and monitor router configurations continuously. This results in setting up a seamless automation workflow by improving connectivity, access to resources, and speed of script execution. The following categories of on-box scripts are used to achieve operational simplicity: |
|||
|
IP Addresses and Services |
|||
|
This feature allows you to use the To access this data model, see the Github repository. |
|||
|
This feature enables the inclusion of permitted packet count for ABF in the hardware profile statistics, thus providing the cumulative packet count of permit and deny ACL and ABF. This information helps you plan your traffic management and distribution more effectively. Modified command: |
|||
|
L2VPN |
|||
|
This feature helps you monitor and manage a Layer 2 VPN running VPLS. It does so by providing proactive network management, enabling fault detection and isolation, and reporting end-to-end ethernet connectivity issues. |
|||
|
Double-Tagged 802.1ad Encapsulation Options for Layer 3 Physical and Bundle Subinterfaces |
This feature enables you to increase the number of VLAN tags in an interface and increment the number of subinterfaces up to 4094. Hence, with the dual tag, the number of VLANs can reach up to 4094*4094. You can enable this feature either on a physical interface or a bundle interface. When you cofigure this feature with the dual tag, interfaces check for IP addresses along with MAC addresses. | ||
|
In addition to the source IP address, destination IP address, and port number, this functionality enables using the unique tunnel endpoint identifier (TEID) to compute load balancing (or hashing) of traffic in tunnels between endpoints. The load balancing occurring at the TEID is unique for each traffic flow and achieves better distribution of traffic over equal-cost links. It also helps in load balancing GTP traffic over bundles at transit routers. By default, this functionality is enabled on the Cisco 8000 Series routers, and you cannot disable it. |
|||
|
This feature prevents packets from going into endless loops by aggregating attachment circuits and pseudowires into one of three groups called split-horizon groups. Split-horizon groups operate on the principle that members within a group will not send traffic to each other thereby preventing traffic loops. |
|||
|
This feature monitors incoming traffic levels on a port in the VPLS bridge. It drops traffic when the number of packets reaches the configured threshold level, thus preventing packets from flooding the VPLS bridge and creating excessive traffic and degrading network performance. |
|||
|
This feature allows Layer 2 protocol data units (PDUs) to be kept intact and delivered across the service-provider network to the other side of the customer network. Such delivery is transparent because the VLAN and Layer 2 protocol configurations are maintained throughout. With this feature, service providers can send traffic from multiple customers across a core network without impacting the traffic of other customers. This feature is enabled by default. |
|||
|
This feature employs PE routers connected by a mesh of tunnels, enabling you to connect multiple customer devices in a single bridged domain. Such a setup allows service providers to seamlessly offer a variety of services that they can provision rapidly. |
|||
|
L3VPN |
|||
|
Using labeled switch paths (LSPs), this feature enables resource reservations in each node across data paths on MPLS-configured Layer 3 VPNs. Such reservations allow service providers to offer high throughput to their subscribers with optimal network operations. |
|||
|
Modular QoS |
|||
|
This feature merges the functions of QoS and security access control lists (ACLs). This combination enables using the ACL filter with the Object Group ACL, which provides a vastly improved ACL scale due to much lower TCAM usage. Before this functionality was introduced, ACLs applied for QoS group actions consumed a sizeable number of TCAM entries, reducing the available scale of the feature. |
|||
|
System Security |
|||
|
This release introduces CiscoSSH, a newer implementation of SSH, on this platform. CiscoSSH leverages OpenSSH implementation, by using the Linux TCP/IP stack to transmit and receive SSH packets over the management Ethernet interface and line card interfaces on the router. CiscoSSH provides additional security features like FIPS compliance and X.509 digital certification. It supports packet path features like MPP, ACL and VRF support, and ensures interoperability with various existing SSH implementations.
|
|||
|
This feature allows you to generate public-key pairs in the XR Config mode, which in turn lets you save configurations. You can then load these saved configurations across different routers to quickly deploy the key-pair configurations. You could generate public-key pairs in earlier releases only in the XR EXEC mode, which does not save configurations. So manually executing the key-pair generation commands on every router was time-consuming. The following commands are available in XR Config mode, in addition to XR EXEC mode: |
|||
|
This release introduces SSH port forwarding with CiscoSSH, an OpenSSH-based implementation of SSH. CiscoSSH replaces Cisco IOS XR SSH, which is the older SSH implementation that existed prior to this release. |
|||
|
Graceful Termination of SSH Sessions |
This functionality gracefully terminates the active SSH sessions on the router by returning a successful exit code (0) to the SSH client. This functionality is mainly helpful for automation scenarios such as image installation on a router initiated by a client through an SSH session, where the router reloads automatically post-upgrade. This functionality existed earlier with Cisco IOS XR SSH and is now getting introduced with CiscoSSH. Without this functionality, the SSH sessions terminated abruptly by returning a failure error code (255) to the SSH client, causing the automation scripts to fail. The new functionality is applicable only for upgrade and router reload scenarios; not for RP failovers and active RP reload scenarios. |
||
|
Segment Routing |
|||
|
Topology-Independent Loop-Free Alternate (TI-LFA) uses segment routing to provide link, node, and Shared Risk Link Groups (SRLG) protection in topologies where other fast reroute techniques cannot provide protection. BFDv6-triggered TI-LFA allows you to obtain link, node, and SRLG protection using the Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) over IPv6 protocol. |
|||
|
This feature is a BGP extension to signal BGP prefix-SIDs. This feature allows you to attach BGP prefix SID attributes for remote prefixes learned over BGP labeled unicast (LU) sessions and propagate them as SR prefixes using BGP LU. This allows an LSP towards non-SR endpoints to use segment routing global block in the SR domain. |
|||
|
Interface and Hardware Component |
|||
|
This feature allows you to disable the time-to-live (TTL) decrement of the incoming packets. The result is that encapsulation of the original incoming packet takes place without any change in the TTL value. This feature avoids dropping incoming packets with a TTL value equal to one after GRE encapsulation. Before this release, the TTL value of incoming packets was decremented by one before GRE decapsulation. This feature introduces the tunnel ttl disable command. |
|||
|
With this release, the router allows you to mirror IPv4 or IPv6 traffic with ERSPAN over GRE IPv6 sessions to monitor traffic on remote traffic analyzers. In earlier releases, ERSPAN traffic monitoring was possible only on IPv4 networks |
|||
|
With this release, Cisco 8000 Series routers support eight ERSPAN sessions. This functionality helps you analyze higher payloads in real time across Layer 3 domains on your network. |
|||
|
Dynamic TCAM carving |
This feature enables the dynamic modification of the hardware resource TCAM, depending on the user configuration. Hence, allowing the system to accommodate changing service requirements. This feature doesn’t require a system reboot for the revised TCAM configuration to take effect. The following options are added to the show controller npu resources command:
|
||
|
Layer 3 VLAN Interfaces and Subinterfaces Scale |
The total number of Layer 3 VLAN interfaces supported on a router that is running IOS-XR has been increased from 2000 to 3580. This number includes main, bundle, and Layer 3 subinterfaces. For example, if the router is already configured with 96 main interfaces, you can configure up to a maximum of 3484 (3580 ― 96) subinterfaces. Also, the maximum number of Layer 3 subinterfaces under each main interface can be only up to 2000. |
||
|
Routing |
|||
|
The Conditional Default Route Originating in IS-IS feature allows you to enhance the granularity of the default route the IS-IS originates based on a condition. It enables IS-IS to originate the default route based on the presence of a specific route in the RIB originated by a particular BGP speaker. This feature improves the reaction time of the watched route in the RIB by avoiding periodical queries of the routing policy. This feature enables you to respond to the client in a timely fashion when the watched route changes in the RIB. |
|||
|
System Monitoring |
|||
|
Extending Graceful Handling of Out of Resource (OOR) Situations for GRE and MPLS traffic |
This release extends the graceful handling of dropped traffic in an out-of-resource situation to GRE and MPLS-enabled traffic. Modified command: |
||
|
This feature allows you to actively monitor, measure, and report traffic information continuously across the network. You can configure the router to measure and report jitter, response time, packet loss, QoS thresholds, connectivity, response or downtime, and delays. |
|||
|
System Management |
|||
|
Previously available for fabric and line cards, this feature that helps avoid excess power allocation by considering dynamic factors before allocating power to them is now available for optical modules. To view the power allocation on a per port basis, a new command “show environment power allocated [details]" is introduced. |
|||
|
Flexible Consumption model of Smart Licensing for 8100 Fixed chassis and 8800 Modular chassis |
The 8100 fixed chassis and 8800 modular chassis and licenses that are available are as follows:
|
||
|
PTP Delay Asymmetry |
Any delays on Precision Time Protocol (PTP) paths can impact PTP accuracy and in turn impact clock settings for all devices in a network. This feature allows you to configure the static asymmetry such that the delay is accounted for and the PTP synchronization remains accurate. The delay-symmetry command is introduced for this feature. |
||

To know about all the RPMs installed including XR, OS and other components use the show install active all command.
The software modularity approach provides a flexible model that allows you to install a subset of IOS XR packages on devices based on your individual requirements. All critical components are modularized as packages so that you can select the features that you want to run on your router.
 Note |
The above show command output displays mandatory packages that are installed on the router. To view the optional and bug fix RPM packages, first install the package and use the show install active summary command. |

Other Important Information
-
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.
-
When you execute the show tech-support command, a temporary directory is created and the related data is stored in this directory. This directory is deleted after the command is completed. For example,
