Software Features Enhanced and Introduced
To learn about features introduced in other Cisco IOS XR releases, select the release from the Documentation Landing Page.
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
|
Licensing |
|
|
Cisco Smart Licensing Using Policy (SLP) is an enhancement to the existing Cisco Smart Licensing model. It streamlines the licensing process for Cisco IOS XR products by introducing a more flexible and automated approach. With SLP, you no longer need to register your device during installation, and there is no evaluation license state or period. This simplifies the licensing process and reduces complexity. To use SLP, your devices must establish trust and send the initial license usage report within 90 days. Starting with this release, cslu is the default communication transport mode. The feature introduces these changes: YANG Data Models:
|
|
|
MPLS |
|
|
During Fast Reroute (FRR), an RSVP router sends multiple messages to neighbors. If a neighbor fails to acknowledge the messages due to an overload of RSVP message processing or a high frequency of failures, RSVP retransmits the messages, which can result in network congestion. You can now set a longer RSVP message retransmission interval to provide sufficient processing time for neighbors, reduce signaling overhead, and prevent network congestion. You can set this interval for all directly connected neighbors at once or remote neighbors connected through backup tunnels. Previously, you could only enable this option per interface. The feature introduces these changes: CLI: signalling refresh reduction reliable retransmit-time YANG Data Model: Cisco-IOS-XR-ip-rsvp-cfg.yang (see GitHub, YANG Data Models Navigator) |
|
|
IP Addresses and Services |
|
|
View NPU Information to Troubleshoot Forwarding Issues |
You can now easily access NPU informa0on such as the TCAM, Large Exact Match (LEM), Longest Prefix Match (LPM), Forwarding Equivalence Class (FEC) and Encapsula0on DB (EEDB) database informa0on for troubleshoo0ng forwarding issues. Before this release, obtaining NPU informa0on was a 0me-consuming process that required using the forwarding ASIC's diagnos0c shell u0lity with varying commands across forwarding ASICs. The feature introduces these changes: CLI: This feature modifies the show mpls forwarding labels hardware command. The npu keyword is added to it. |
|
Interface and Hardware Component |
|
|
Autonegotiation Support on the A900-IMA-8CS1Z Interface Module |
The A900-IMA-8CS1Z Interface Module now supports autonegotiation for speeds less than 1G (10/100/1000 Mbps) using Cisco 1000BASE-T Copper SFP. By default, autonegotiation remains disabled. You can enable autonegotiation on the Gigabit Ethernet interface using the negotiation auto command. After you enable autonegotiation, the link will auto-negotiate seamlessly to the configuration that is compatible with a peer device. |
|
L2VPN and Ethernet Services |
|
|
In a preference-based Designated Forwarder (DF) election, non-revertive mode prevents the traffic disruption that occurs during the recovery of a node in a port-active multihoming network. While recovering from a link failure, an EVPN ethernet-segment (ES) performs DF re-election and re-carves the services among the multihomed nodes, which causes traffic interruption and interface flapping, leading to traffic loss. In the non-revertive mode, the EVPN ES does not re-carve the services after the recovery, thus avoiding the traffic disruption. The feature introduces these changes: CLI:
YANG Data Model:
(see GitHub, YANG Data Models Navigator) |
|
|
Programmability |
|
|
OpenConfig infrastructure now provides an operational data YANG model, |
|
|
You can now specify a common-name for the certificate generated by the router while using gRPC dial-in and avoid failure during certificate verification. Earlier, the common-name in the certificate was fixed. The feature introduces these changes: CLI: YANG Data Model:
(see GitHub, YANG Data Models Navigator) |
|
|
This feature lists the four types of authentication mechanisms for Extensible Manageability Services (EMS) to ensure the security and integrity of data exchange are: Metadata with TLS, Metadata without TLS, Metadata with Mutual TLS, and Certificate based. |
|
|
System Management |
|
|
Combined Frame Delay and Frame Loss Measurement for Y.1564 Service Activation Test |
We have enhanced the ITU-T Y.1564 Service Activation Testing (SAT) capabilities by enabling a comprehensive service quality measurement that includes network responsiveness, congestion, and other issues degrading network performance. This feature also allows a holistic testing of the QoS SLAs, which helps identify potential issues faster and troubleshoot effectively. This feature introduces the following change: CLI: The measurement combined keyword is added to the ethernet service-activation-test profile command. YANG DATA Model:
|
|
This feature enables the redirection of test traffic from the destination router to the source router in loopback message (LBM) format. Loopback message enables the measurement of various parameters and performance metrics, such as frame delay, frame loss rates, and QoS settings, after the traffic has completed its round trip. Such comprehensive measurement helps identify issues within the network setup. You can also use it to ensure the service is running and meets the SLA. This feature introduces the following change: CLI: The packet-format lbm keyword is added to the ethernet service-activation-test profile command. YANG DATA Model: New XPaths for Cisco-IOS-XR-ethernet-sat-cfg.yang (see Github, YANG Data Models Navigator) |
|
|
Optional Source MAC Address for Y.1564 Service Activation Test |
By specifying the source MAC address to the ITU-T Y.1564 SAT, you can ensure that the test results are relevant and applicable to the specific service configuration for use in production and before deployment for your customers. This feature introduces the following change: Modified CLI: The source keyword is added to the ethernet service-activation-test command. YANG DATA Model:
|
|
Segment Routing |
|
|
We have introduced the capability for SR Policy to support segment lists with IPv6 addresses, which can be either dynamically computed or explicitly set at the SRTE headend. |
|
|
Identical Route Distinguisher (RD) for Interworking Gateways between MPLS and SRv6 Domains |
You can now configure the same Route Distinguisher (RD) for interworking gateways catering to both MPLS and SRv6 domains that help conserve hardware resources, reduce the BGP table scale and minimize the processing load on routers. At the same time, it ensures seamless connectivity across SRv6 and MPLS L3 EVPN domains, thus promoting interoperability and efficiency in modern network environments. Previously, a unique RD was required to extend L3 services between MPLS and SRv6 domains resulting in higher router load and resource consumption, which could have affected performance. |
|
Ability to Exclude Specific IP Addresses in Multi-Domain Path Computation |
This release supports the ability to exclude specific IP addresses in multi-domain path computation. Segment Routing Path Computation Element (SR-PCE) needs to remove the excluded nodes or links from its topology when computing the CSPF path from headend to endpoint. |
|
You can gather the Traffic Engineering Policy information that is locally available in a node and advertise it in BGP-LS for SRv6. Previous versions only supported SR-MPLS. There are no changes to the configuration procedures from previous releases and works on the same configuration as the SR-MPLS feature. |
|
|
Calculate candidate paths and SR-TE policies with IP exclusion, while enforcing affinity and disjointness constraints |
For new services using Pseudo-wire (PW) over SR-TE policies, you can now calculate, customize, and preview candidate paths. With this feature, you can now exclude network resources by IP address, and enforce affinity for a specific candidate path. Previously, affinity constraints and candidate path disjointness were mutually exclusive. The feature introduces these changes: CLI:
YANG Data Models:
|
|
System Security |
|
|
From this release, you can use the gRPC protocol to interact with MASA APIs in addition to the current HTTP protocols. Through structured serialization of data with gRPC's Protocol Buffers, the communication between services is made more efficient, type-safe, and consistent. |
|
|
You can now deploy robust authentication mechanisms for SSH connections to your routers and reduce security risks due to compromised or weak passwords. We now support multi-factor authentication (MFA)—a secure access management solution that verifies the identity of a user using multiple verification factors—for SSH login on Cisco IOS XR routers. These verification factors include a combination of login credentials such as username and password and a token, a cryptographic device, or a mobile phone with MFA application installed. No new commands or data models were introduced or modified as part of this feature. |
|
|
You can now pre-upload your Pinned-Domain Certificate (PDC) credentials before requesting OVs Ownership Vouchers (OVs) from the MASA server, thus making the voucher request process easier. |
|
|
Network Synchronization |
|
|
We have improved NTP synchronization and reliability to achieve nanosecond-level accuracy for applications that require high-precision timing. This is achieved by enabling NTP-PTP interworking which allows the use of PTP as the reference clock. As in previous releases, the NTP client continues to support polling NTP protocol-based external time servers to synchronize the local system clock and achieve accuracy within the millisecond range. |
|
YANG Data Models Introduced and Enhanced
This release introduces or enhances the following data models. For detailed information about the supported and unsupported
sensor paths of all the data models, see the Github repository. To get a comprehensive list of the data models supported in a release, navigate to the Available-Content.md file
for the release in the Github repository. The unsupported sensor paths are documented as deviations. For example, openconfig-acl.yangprovides details about the supported sensor paths, whereas cisco-xr-openconfig-acl-deviations.yang provides the unsupported sensor paths for openconfig-acl.yang on Cisco IOS XR routers.
You can also view the data model definitions using the YANG Data Models Navigator tool. This GUI-based and easy-to-use tool helps you explore the nuances of the data model and view the dependencies between various containers in the model. You can view the list of models supported across Cisco IOS XR releases and platforms, locate a specific model, view the containers and their respective lists, leaves, and leaf lists presented visually in a tree structure.
To get started with using data models, see the Programmability Configuration Guide for Cisco NCS 560 Series Routers.
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
|
Programmability |
|
|
|
This OpenConfig data model introduces the following changes:
|
|
Cisco-IOS-XR-evpn-oper.yang |
This YANG model is modified to enable non-revertive mode on preference based EVPN DF election. |
|
Cisco-IOS-XR-infra-xtc-agent-oper.yang |
This native data model is enhanced with a new container, excluded-resources to display associated resource lists for policies. |
|
Cisco-IOS-XR-infra-xtc-oper.yang |
This native data model is enhanced with a new container, constraints-information, to exclude IP constraints for candidate paths and includes the shortest-path flag in the disjoint constraints. |
|
Cisco-IOS-XR-infra-xtc-agent-cfg.yang |
This native data model is enhanced with a new container, resources, and a new leaf, exclude-resource-rule in the resources-rule-table container to configure and associate resource lists as constraints to policies. Additionally, new leaves such as shortest-path and fallback-disable are added in the disjoint-path container to extend the disjoint constraint configuration. |
Hardware Introduced

Behavior Changes
-
From this release, the default order of authentication methods for SSH clients on Cisco IOS XR routers running Cisco IOS XR SSH is changed to: public-key, keyboard-interactive, and password.
Prior to this release, the default order was: public-key, password, and keyboard-interactive.
-
Prior to Cisco IOS XR Release 7.2.1, a segment of an explicit segment list can be configured as an IPv4 address (representing a Node or a Link) using the index indexaddress ipv4 address command.
Starting with Cisco IOS XR Release 7.2.1, an IPv4-based segment (representing a Node or a Link) can also be configured with the new index index mpls adjacencyaddress command. The configuration is stored in NVRAM in the same CLI format used to create it. There is no conversion from the old CLI to the new CLI.
Starting with Cisco IOS XR Release 7.9.1, the old CLI has been deprecated. Old configurations stored in NVRAM will be rejected at boot-up.
As a result, explicit segment lists with IPv4-based segments using the old CLI must be re-configured using the new CLI.
There are no CLI changes for segments configured as MPLS labels using the index index mpls label label command.
-
If you are on a release before Cisco IOS XR Release 7.4.1, you can configure SR-ODN with Flexible Algorithm constraints using the segment-routing traffic-eng on-demand color color dynamic sid-algorithm algorithm-number command.
Starting with Cisco IOS XR Release 7.4.1, you can also configure SR-ODN with Flexible Algorithm constraints using the new segment-routing traffic-eng on-demand color color constraints segments sid-algorithm algorithm-number command.
From Cisco IOS XR Release 7.9.1, the segment-routing traffic-eng on-demand color color dynamic sid-algorithm algorithm-number command is deprecated. Previous configurations stored in NVRAM will be rejected at boot-up. (Performing In-Service Software Upgrade (ISSU) to Cisco IOS XR Release 7.9.1 will also be rejected.)
Hence, for Cisco IOS XR Release 7.9.1, you must reconfigure all SR-ODN configurations with Flexible Algorithm constraints that use the on-demand dynamic sid-algorithm with the on-demand constraints command.
Restrictions and Limitations
-
The standby RP may get into '
NOT READY' state intermittently due to some network churn, though the corresponding VM is up and running. But this is a transient state and shows that some data aren’t in sync between active and standby due to the network churn. After both active and standby are in sync with respect to all the parameters, then the standby RP comes into 'READY' state.

Important Notes
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. |
