The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

| System Security |
|||
| Ease of Setup
|
The security template framework is based on RFC 5289 , which specifies new cipher suites for the Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol. |
||
| Ease of Setup
|
Security templates reduce misconfiguration risks and operational overhead by centralizing and standardizing security policy configuration for TLS-enabled applications. A security template bundles certificate authentication policy, TLS controls, and compliance mode settings. It acts as a single source of truth that applications reference, avoiding local embedding of security settings. This template defines how certificates are handled and controls various aspects of the TLS handshake. |

Synchronous Ethernet ESMC and SSM on 8011-12G12X4Y-D and 8011-12G12X4Y-A |
SyncE provides synchronization signals transmitted over the Ethernet physical layer to downstream devices, while the Synchronization Status Message (SSM) indicates the quality level of the transmitting clock to the neighboring nodes, informing the nodes about the level of the network's reliability. Ethernet Synchronization Message Channel (ESMC) is the logical channel that uses an Ethernet PDU (protocol data unit) to exchange SSM information over the SyncE link. |

● Deprecation and phasing out features with insecure capabilities and its secure alternatives
From Release 25.4.1, Cisco IOS XR software displays warning messages when you configure features or protocols that lack sufficient security, such as those that transmit sensitive data without encryption or use outdated encryption mechanisms. The software also shows warnings when you do not follow security best practices, and it provides suggestions for secure alternatives.
This list may change, but Cisco plans to generate warnings for the following features and protocols from Release 25.4.1. Each Release Notes will describe the exact changes for that version.
These documents list all features planned for removal, including insecure commands, and provide recommended secure alternatives to help you maintain network security and compliance.

Overview of Cisco IOS XR software
The Cisco IOS XR software is composed of a base image (ISO) that provides the XR infrastructure. The ISO image is made up of a set of packages (also called RPMs). These packages are of three types:
● A mandatory package that is included in the ISO
● An optional package that is included in the ISO
● An optional package that is not included in the ISO
Visit the Cisco Software Download page to download the Cisco IOS XR software images.
View installed software packages
To determine the Cisco IOS XR Software packages installed on your router, log in to the router and enter the show install active command. To view the optional and bug fix RPM packages, first install the package and use the show install active summary command.
To know about all the RPMs installed including XR, OS and other components use the show install active all command.
Flexible software modularity
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.
Determine firmware support
To determine firmware support on your router, log in to the router and enter show fpd package command.
