General Description
The Cisco Catalyst IR1101 Rugged Series Router is a next generation modular industrial router which has a base module with additional Pluggable Modules that can be added. The Pluggable Module provides the flexibility of adding different interfaces to the IR1101 platform, for example, a cellular module.
The IR1101 also has an Expansion Module that adds key capabilities such as dual LTE Pluggables, mSATA SSD FRU, SFP, and Digital GPIO connections.
Note: Complete details on the IR1101 and both Expansion Modules can be found in the IR1101 Industrial Integrated Services Router Hardware Installation Guide.
Note : The IR-1100-SP Expansion Module is the same as the IR-1100-SPMI module, without the Digital I/O and mSATA components.

Interface Naming Conventions
Major Enhancements
These are the new features for the IR1101.
Per Port DHCP Address Allocation
No new CLI has been added. The device on interface FA0/0/1 should get 192.0.2.90.
The minimum configuration looks like the following example:
The show output CLI appears like the following:
Note : The client-id has to be the short-name of the interface. Use "Fa" for FastEthernet interface. Use "Gi" for GigabitEthernet interface.
Custom Controlled LED
The IR-1101 has a non-blinking tri-color custom LED, which can be controlled with the following executive privilege CLI.
Support DSL SFP Firmware signing and signature validation
An optional IOS filepath has been added to the end of the existing upgrade command. The file must be signed with SFP-VADSL2-I key. The file could be in bootflash:/flash:, usbflash0 or msata:. It cannot be from any remote file system.
Command Line Interface
The command line interface for upgrading the module follows:
Support Four ADSL MIB Objects
MIB support has been added to get the DSL line speed and attainable rate on the IR1101.
Command Line Interface
On the IR1101 with a DSL SFP connected to ADSL DSLAM, the following existing SNMP CLIs can be used to verify support the for the above OIDs:
The following command can also be used to gather the MIB values from another SNMP Client (i.e linux machine):
Digital IO Enhancement
Support has been added to allow some digital I/O ports to be managed by IOSd, and some other digital IO ports to be managed by IOx container apps. An updated CLI has been added and the YANG model for Digital IO Enhancement has been updated.
The 17.5.1 version of the CLI is:
Note : With release 17.5.1, alarm contact attach-to-iox gave IOX control for ALL digital IO ports (1 thru 4).
The 17.6.1 version of the CLI is:
In the updated CLI, <1-4> are the number of digital I/O ports to assign to IOx for container apps.
Note : With release 17.6.1, each digital IO port can be assigned to IOX individually.
NTP Clock Sync with GPS
This feature enables GPS time as the reference clock source for NTP from cellular interface (except for the P-LTEAP18-GL modem) on the IR1800/IR1101 routers.
Configuration information is found in NTP Clock Sync with GPS in the Cellular Pluggable Interface Module Configuration Guide
Features and Limitations
Note : Starting with Cisco IOS XE Amsterdam 17.3.2, with the introduction of Smart Licensing Using Policy, even if you configure a hostname for a product instance or device, only the Unique Device Identifier (UDI) is displayed. This change in the display can be observed in all licensing utilities and user interfaces where the hostname was displayed in earlier releases. It does not affect any licensing functionality. There is no workaround for this limitation.
The licensing utilities and user interfaces that are affected by this limitation include only the following: Cisco Smart Software Manager (CSSM), Cisco Smart License Utility (CSLU), and Smart Software Manager On-Prem (SSM On-Prem).

Open Caveats
When deploying the SEA app from IoT Operations Dashboard to IR1101 routers for secure equipment access management purpose, lots of these SELINUX denial log messages may show up in console.
Symptom : The user may see messages like the following:
Workaround : The user can safely ignore the SELINUX messages.
When GI0/0/0 is configured as an L3 interface, and uses xconnect, l2tpv3 doesn't work.
Conditions : Gi0/0/0 is used with xconnect configure for the l2tpv3 tunnel.
Workaround : l2tpv3 xconnect can be used on the SVI interface.
Smart license registration through proxy server fails.
Symptoms : The router is not able to register to the Smart Account when using a proxy server.
Conditions : The proxy server returns something different as a response to CONNECT request from the HTTP inside IOS from the following list:
–HTTP/1.0 200 Connection Established
–HTTP/1.1 200 Connection Established
Workaround : The response from the proxy can be modified to match one of the supported values.
