Secure Domain Router
Commands
Secure domain routers (SDRs) provide a means of partitioning a router into multiple, independent routers. SDRs perform routing functions in the same manner as a physical router but share resources with the rest of the system. For example, the applications, configurations, protocols, and routing tables assigned to an SDR belong to that SDR only, but other functions such as chassis control, switch fabric, and partitioning are shared with the rest of the system.
For detailed information about secure domain router concepts, configuration tasks, and examples, see the Configuring Secure Domain Routers on Cisco IOS XR Software module in Cisco IOS XR System Management Configuration Guide for the Cisco CRS Router.
location (SDR)
To assign a node to a secure domain router (SDR), use the location command in SDR configuration mode. To remove a node from an SDR and return the node to the owner SDR, use the no form of this command.
location node-location
location partially-qualified-nodeid [primary]
no location
Syntax Description
|
partially-qualified-nodeid |
Node to be assigned to the specified secure domain router. Refer to the Usage Guidelines for the syntax required in each router platform. |
|
primary |
(Optional) Configures the node as the DSDRSC for a secure domain router. |
Command Default
All nodes are assigned to the owner SDR.
Command Modes
SDR configuration
Command History
|
Release |
Modification |
|---|---|
|
Release 3.2 |
This command was introduced. |
|
Release 3.3.0 |
The term logical router (LR) was changed to secure domain router (SDR). Added support for the primary keyword. |
Usage Guidelines
To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes appropriate task IDs. If the user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance.
Use the location command to assign a node to an SDR. By default, all nodes belong to the owner SDR. When a node is assigned to a non-owner SDR, it is automatically removed from the owner SDR inventory.
Use the no form of the location command to remove a node from an SDR. Removing a node from an SDR implicitly returns it to the owner SDR. When a node has been removed from an SDR, it can be reassigned to another SDR. To remove the designated secure domain router system controller (DSDRSC), you must first remove all other nodes in the SDR. You cannot remove the designated system controller (DSC) from the owner SDR.
![]() Note | Removing all nodes from an SDR deletes the secure domain router from the configuration. |
Usage Notes
- Use the location command with the primary keyword to assign a route processor (RP) pair or a single distributed route processor (DRP) as the DSDRSC. If the primary keyword is not used, the node is assigned to the SDR, but it is not the DSDRSC.
- You cannot assign a single RP to an SDR. RPs must be added in redundant pairs. The value of the partially-qualified-nodeid argument for RPs is entered in the rack/slot/* notation. This command assigns the redundant RP pair as the DSDRSC. One RP is automatically elected as the DSDRSC, and the second RP acts as the standby DSDRSC.
- To assign a single DRP to an SDR, use the location command with the partially-qualified-nodeid argument. To assign a single DRP node as the DSDRSC, enter the location command with the partially-qualified-nodeid argument and the primary keyword.
- To assign a redundant DRP pair to an SDR, use the pair (SDR) command. We recommend the use of DRP pairs as the DSDRSC for all non-owner SDRs.
- If an RP is already assigned to the SDR as the DSDRSC, it must be removed before a DRP can be assigned as the DSDRSC.

Examples
In the following example, a new SDR “rname2” is created. The location command is used to add an RP pair as the primary node (DSDRSC). An additional node in rack 1, slot 0 is then added to the configuration.
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router# admin RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(admin)# configure RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(admin-config)# sdr rname2 RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(admin-config-sdr:rname2)# location 1/RP*/* primary RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(admin-config-sdr:rname2)# location 1/0/* RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(admin-config-sdr:rname2)# end
The following example shows how to remove a node from SDR “rname2”:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router# admin RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(admin)# configure RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(admin-config)# sdr rname2 RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(admin-config-sdr:rname2)# no location 1/0/* RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router (admin-config-sdr:rname2)# end

Command | Description |
Creates a secure domain router (SDR) and enters SDR configuration mode. | |
Assigns a distributed route processor (DRP) pair to a secure domain router (SDR). |
pair (SDR)
To assign a distributed route processor (DRP) pair to a secure domain router (SDR), use the pair command in SDR configuration mode. To remove a DRP pair from the configuration, use the no form of this command.
pair pair-name [primary]
no pair pair-name
Syntax Description
| pair-name |
Specifies a DRP pair to be assigned to the specified secure domain router. The pair-name argument is the name assigned to the DRP pair. For instructions to create a DRP pair name, see the pairing (drp) command in the Distributed Route Processor Commands on Cisco IOS XR Software. |
|
primary |
(Optional) Specifies the named DRP pair as the primary and standby designated secure domain router system controllers (DSDRSC). |
Command Default
None
Command Modes

Command History
| Release | Modification |

Usage Guidelines
To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes appropriate task IDs. If the user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance.
Use the pair command with the pair-name argument to assign a DRP pair to an SDR. Enter the pair command with the primary keyword to assign the DRP pair as the DSDRSCs (primary and standby DSDRSCs).
To assign a DRP pair to an SDR, you must first create a DRP pair name as described in Distributed Route Processor Commands on Cisco IOS XR Software and Configuring Secure Domain Routers on Cisco IOS XR Software. When the DRP pair is created, you can add the pair-name to the SDR.
When a DRP pair is assigned to a non-owner SDR, it is automatically removed from the owner SDR inventory. When a DRP pair is removed from a non-owner SDR configuration, it is automatically returned to the owner SDR inventory.
RPs have precedence over DRPs for DSDRSC configuration. If an SDR already includes an RP, the RP must become the DSDRSC.
Use the no form of the pair command to remove the DRP pair from an SDR. Removing a DRP pair from an SDR implicitly returns it to the owner SDR. When a DRP pair has been removed from an SDR, it can be reassigned to another SDR.

Examples
The following example shows how to enter SDR configuration mode and add a DRP pair as the DSDRSC. The command show configuration is used in SDR configuration mode to display the SDR configuration.
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(admin-config)# sdr rname2
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(admin-config-sdr:rname2)# pair drp1 primary
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(admin-config-sdr:rname2)# show configuration
Building configuration... sdr rname2 pair drp1 primary

The following example shows how to enter SDR configuration mode and remove a DRP pair from the SDR configuration:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(admin-config)# sdr rname2 RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(admin-config-sdr:rname2)# no pair drp1

Use the sdr command to create an SDR or modify an existing SDR.
![]() Note | The sdr-name argument creates an SDR if the SDR specified for the sdr-name argument does not exist. |
By default, a router running Cisco IOS XR software contains one SDR, the owner SDR. You cannot create the owner SDR because it always exists—nor can you completely remove it because it is necessary for managing the router.
After the sdr command is used, the router enters SDR configuration mode. From SDR configuration mode, you can add nodes to the SDR or remove nodes from the SDR using the location (SDR) command. You can also add or remove DRP pairs using the pair (SDR) command.
Use the no form of the command to remove a non-owner SDR configuration. When an SDR is removed from the router configuration, all nodes included in the SDR configuration are returned to the owner SDR inventory. The owner SDR cannot be removed.
Maximum Number of SDR Configurations
A maximum of eight SDRs are supported, including one owner SDR and up to seven non-owner SDRs.
