Software Features Enhanced and Introduced
| 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:
|
|
|
Application Hosting |
|
|
This feature enables you to configure Docker runtime options during the launch of the container. This allows you to overwrite default configurations for parameters such as CPU usage, security settings, health checks, and more. Multiple Docker runtime options are supported, providing users with the flexibility to customize container behavior based on specific requirements. |
|
| To monitor Quality of Service (QoS) actions executed by the penultimate router before reaching the egress router, we have introduced support for explicit null. This enables MPLS labeled packets destined for Linux TPA to be processed and forwarded to the respective TPAs without removing the MPLS labels. Prior to this release, the MPLS labeled packets intended for Linux TPA were not processed. | |
|
Telemetry Data Export from Line Card Port via User Defined VRF |
In this release, you now have the capability to export telemetry data from the router to your specified destination address through line card data ports using user-defined or default VRFs. This helps in improving network segmentation, enabling you to direct telemetry data through distinct VRFs, enhancing network isolation and security. Prior to this update, telemetry data export was limited to the default VRF. |
|
Programmability |
|
|
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) |
|
|
Enhances the security of device-based gRPC services by implementing a unified authentication mechanism. This feature introduces the following change: CLI:
|
|
|
OpenConfig infrastructure now provides an operational data YANG model, |
|
|
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: |
|
|
Segment Routing |
|
|
In Segment Routing over an IPv6 network (SRv6), you can measure packet delay from the source to a specific IP endpoint. You can use this information for troubleshooting, network maintenance, and optimizing network performance. Additionally, you can use flow labels to verify the delay of each subsequent hop path towards the IP endpoint of that path. So that, when network traffic is distributed across multiple available paths towards an IP endpoint, delay measurement tracks the delay of each of these paths towards the IP endpoint. The feature introduces these changes: CLI:
YANG Data Model:
(See GitHub, YANG Data Models Navigator) |
|
|
Unequal-Cost Multiple Path (UCMP) support, present in ISIS for algorithm 0, permits the use of non-optimal paths to carry a part of the traffic. This is particularly beneficial in networks with redundancy where redundant links are not part of the Equal-Cost Multi-Path (ECMP) set and are not fully utilized. UCMP allows complete usage of these redundant network resources. When applied to Flex-Algo, UCMP provides similar functionality for algorithm-specific paths, ensuring compliance with the specific constraints of each algorithm. When UCMP is enabled at ISIS-AF level using the existing UCMP configuration, it is enabled for all the Flex-algos. You can use ucmp disable command under ISIS Flex-Algo sub-mode to disable UCMP for a specific Flex-Algo. This feature introduces the ucmp disable command. |
|
|
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. |
|
In Segment Routing over an IPv6 network (SRv6), you can keep track of the operational status of both the forward and reverse paths of a particular node or IP endpoint. You can use this information for troubleshooting, network maintenance, and optimizing network performance. Additionally, you can use flow labels to verify the liveness of each subsequent hop path toward the IP endpoint of that path. So that, when network traffic is distributed across multiple available paths towards an IP endpoint, liveness detection tracks the operational status of each of these paths towards the IP endpoint. The feature introduces these changes: CLI:
YANG Data Model:
(see GitHub, YANG Data Models Navigator) |
|
|
You can now measure the Hop-by-Hop delay, trace the path in the network, collect egress interface load information and interface ID, and store them for both Source and Sink nodes. You can now gain visibility into the Path Tracing Source and Sink nodes, which handle IPv6 transit in Path Tracing and full characterization of the packet delivery path. This characterization includes real-time information and checking the network's current status, such as if packets are diverted because of a breach, pinpointing the exact location of problems between routers, and checking that traffic flows per specified priority for Quality of Service (QoS) enforcement. This feature introduces a new behavior keyword utef under the router static command. |
|
|
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. |
|
|
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. |
|
|
You can now proactively monitor and address potential network issues before they impact users by measuring key parameters everywhere, packet loss, and jitter. Using this information, you can plan network capacity optimally and ensure quality of service. Such proactive action is possible because this feature reports synthetic Two-Way Active Measurement Protocol (TWAMP) test packets deployed in delay-profile or delay measurement sessions. It also enables you to set the upper and lower limits and notifies when the synthetic packet loss metric is out of the set limit. The feature introduces these changes: CLI:
YANG Data Model
|
|
|
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) |
|
|
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. |
|

Important Notes
-
Repetitive Smart Licensing evaluation expired warning messages are displayed on the console every hour, but no functionality impact is observed on the device. To stop these repetitive messages, you should register the device again with a new registration token.
-
From IOS XR Release 7.0, 1st and 2nd generation of Ethernet ASR 9000 line cards are not supported.
-
Country-specific laws, regulations, and licenses—In certain countries, use of these products may be prohibited and subject to laws, regulations, or licenses, including requirements applicable to the use of the products under telecommunications and other laws and regulations; customers must comply with all such applicable laws in the countries in which they intend to use the products.
-
Exceeding Cisco testing—If you intend to test beyond the combined maximum configuration tested and published by Cisco, contact your Cisco Account Team or Technical Support representative to discuss how to engineer a large-scale configuration for your purpose.
-
The ISSU SMU for ASR 9000 third-generation line cards will be supported until the Cisco IOS XR Release 7.11.2 only. The ISSU SMU will not be supported in the future releases for ASR 9000 third-generation line cards.
-
Installing a Line Card—For a fully populated Line Card with cable optics, maintenance time required for card replacement is higher. For more information about Line Card installation and removal, refer to the Cisco ASR 9000 Aggregation Services Router Ethernet Line Card Installation Guide.
-
For ZTP, In Cisco IOS XR Release 7.3.1 and earlier, the system accepts the device sending user-class = "exr-config"; however starting Cisco IOS XR Release 7.3.2 and later, you must use only user-class = "xr-config".
In Cisco IOS XR Release 7.3.2 and later, use:
host cisco-rp0 { hardware ethernet e4:c7:22:be:10:ba; fixed-address 172.30.12.54; if exists user-class and option user-class = "iPXE" { filename = "http://172.30.0.22/boot.ipxe"; } elsif exists user-class and option user-class = "xr-config" { filename = "http://172.30.0.22/scripts/cisco-rp0_ztp.sh"; } } -
The auto FPD upgrade may result in certain intentional exceptions, which may need manual upgrades or reloading for a few FPDs. We recommend you use the show hw-module fpd command to check the hardware module status immediately after the FPD auto upgrade is complete and take necessary action in both admin and XR VM mode. That is, if any FPD displays a NEED UPGD status, then upgrade those FPDs individually by the manual upgrade and follow it with a reload in admin mode, and if any FPDs show a RLOAD REQ status, perform a hardware module reload from admin mode.
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. |
Supported Transceiver Modules
To determine the transceivers that Cisco hardware device supports, refer to the Transceiver Module Group (TMG) Compatibility Matrix tool.
Supported Modular Port Adapters
For the compatibility details of Modular Port Adapters (MPAs) on the line cards, see the datasheet of that specific line card.
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.
Upgrading Cisco IOS XR Software
Cisco IOS XR Software is installed and activated from modular packages, allowing specific features or software patches to be installed, upgraded, or downgraded without affecting unrelated processes. Software packages can be upgraded or downgraded on all supported card types, or on a single card (node).
Software packages are installed from Route Processor Module (RPM) files that contain one or more software components.
The upgrade document is available along with the software images.
Note |
If you have mLACP/ICCP Redundancy Model setup, ensure that you upgrade the active and standby nodes to the same IOS XR version while upgrading to a newer version of the ASR 9000 router. |
Cisco IOS XR Error messages
To view, search, compare, and download Cisco IOS XR Error Messages, refer to the Cisco IOS XR Error messages tool.
Cisco IOS XR MIBs
To determine the MIBs supported by platform and release, refer to the Cisco IOS XR MIBs tool.
