There are no new features introduced for this release.
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.

A new feature template, RSP3_SDM_TEMPLATE_IPV4_IPV6, is introduced to enhance the uRPF scale from 4096 to 32768 and decrease the IPv6 scale from 65536 to 36864. You can enable this template using the sdm prefer ipv4_ipv6 command.
For more information on SDM template enhancement for uRPF scale, see Cisco NCS 4200 Series Software Configuration Guide, Cisco IOS XE Fuji 16.9.x..

Starting Cisco IOS XE Fuji Release 16.9.3, BDI statistics is supported on the RSP3 module. The show interface command displays the BDI statistics for the interface.
For more information, see Carrier Ethernet Configuration Guide, Cisco IOS XE Fuji 16.9.x (Cisco ASR 4200 Series)
Starting with Cisco IOS XE Fuji 16.9.3, storm control over port channel is supported on the RSP3 module. Storm control over port-channel is applicable for port channel interfaces, and is used for restricting the unicast, broadcast and multicast ingress traffic on the port channel interfaces.
For more information see, Storm Control Configuration Guide, Cisco IOS XE Fuji 16.9.x (Cisco ASR 4200 Series)

3G CEM LC support with RSP3 400G
In addition to support on RSP2 module, the 1 port OC-48/STM-16 or 4 port OC-12/OC-3 / STM-1/STM-4 + 12 port T1/E1 + 4 port T3/E3 CEM interface module is supported on RSP3.
For more information, see the 1 port OC-48/STM-16 or 4 port OC-12/OC-3 / STM-1/STM-4 + 12 port T1/E1 + 4 port T3/E3 CEM Interface Module Configuration Guide, Cisco IOS XE Fuji 16.9.x (Cisco NCS 4200 Series).
BFD Echo Mode
BFD echo mode works with asynchronous BFD. Echo packets are sent by the forwarding engine and forwarded back along the same path in order to perform detection--the BFD session at the other end does not participate in the actual forwarding of the echo packets.
Starting with Cisco IOS Fuji XE Release 16.9.x, this feature is supported on the RSP3 module.
For more information, see the IP Routing: BFD Configuration Guide, Cisco IOS XE Fuji 16.9.x (NCS 4200 Series).
CoPP
The Control Plane Policing feature allows you to configure a quality of service (QoS) filter that manages the traffic flow of control plane packets to protect the control plane of routers and switches against reconnaissance and denial-of-service (DoS) attacks. In this way, the control plane (CP) can help maintain packet forwarding and protocol states despite an attack or heavy traffic load on the router or switch.
Starting with Cisco IOS XE Fuji Release 16.9.x, this feature is supported on the RSP3 module.
For more information, see the QoS Policing and Shaping Configuration Guide, Cisco IOS XE Fuji 16.9.x (Cisco NCS 4200 Series).
Dying GASP via SNMP trap
Dying GASP via SNMP trap feature is supported on Cisco RSP3 module. The feature helps to quickly notify a network administrator whenever a node undergoes power shutdown.
The following new command is introduced:
platform dying-gasp-port-enable
For more information on the feature, see the Cisco NCS 4200 Series Software Configuration Guide, Cisco IOS XE Fuji 16.9.x.
For more information on the new command, see the Cisco IOS Interface and Hardware Component Command Reference.
HDLC or PPP to Ethernet IPv4 Interworking Pseudowire
The L2VPN interworking allows you to connect disparate attachment circuits, for example, TDM and Ethernet attachment circuits. The L2VPN interworking operates in IP (routed) mode that facilitates transport of IPv4 payload in HDLC or PPP frames to Ethernet, over MPLS network translation. The configuration is supported on NCS4200-3GMS.
For more information, see the 1 port OC-48/STM-16 or 4 port OC-12/OC-3 / STM-1/STM-4 + 12 port T1/E1 + 4 port T3/E3 CEM Interface Module Configuration Guide, Cisco IOS XE Fuji 16.9.x (Cisco NCS 4200 Series).
Micro BFD
The BFD feature now supports micro BFD sessions on individual port channel member links to monitor Layer 3 connectivity on those links. With micro BFD feature, BFD is able to verify the ability of each member link to be able to forward Layer 3 packets and appropriately update the load balance.
For more information on the feature, see the IP Routing: BFD Configuration Guide, Cisco IOS XE Fuji 16.9.x.
MPLS TE and BGP PIC Edge
MPLS TE Load balancing, BGP PIC Edge, and RFC 3107 are now supported over TE-FRR.
For more information on the feature, see the IP Routing: BGP Configuration Guide, Cisco IOS XE Fuji 16.9.x.
Multicast VPN over Routed Pseudowire
Routed Pseudowire and Virtual Private LAN Services (VPLS) configuration can route layer 3 traffic as well as layer 2 traffic for pseudowire connections between Provider Edge (PE) devices using VPLS multipoint PE. The ability to route frames to and from these interfaces supports termination of pseudowires into the layer 3 network (VPN or global) on the same switch, or to the tunnel layer 3 frames over a layer 2 tunnel (VPLS).
For more information on the feature, see IP Multicast: Multicast Configuration Guide, Cisco IOS XE Fuji 16.9.x (Cisco NCS 4200 Series).
RS232 Sync
The serial interface module now supports pseudowire transport over MPLS and raw socket for Sync traffic. Out of 14 ports, 6 ports (8-13) support sync interfaces. RS232 Sync data is carried over Raw Socket.
For more information, see the Cisco NCS 4200 Series Software Configuration Guide, Cisco IOS XE Fuji 16.9.x.
Support for STS1e
3GSM-DS3 ports and 48 T3/E3 ports can be configured in STS-1e mode.
For more information, see the 48-Port T1/E1 CEM Interface Module Configuration Guide, Cisco IOS XE Fuji 16.9.x (Cisco NCS 4200 Series) and 1 port OC-48/STM-16 or 4 port OC-12/OC-3 / STM-1/STM-4 + 12 port T1/E1 + 4 port T3/E3 CEM Interface Module Configuration Guide, Cisco IOS XE Fuji 16.9.x (Cisco NCS 4200 Series).
Transparent Overhead Tunneling Data Communication Channel
Transport overhead tunnel is implemented using circuit emulation technology to provide transparency for the Data Communication Channel (DCC) bytes. It is achieved by sending DCC bytes from one Add or Drop multiplexers (ADM) to other peer ADM through ASR devices using transport overhead pseudowire.
For more information, see the 1-Port OC-192 or 8-Port Low Rate CEM Interface Module Configuration Guide, Cisco IOS XE Fuji 16.9.x (Cisco NCS 4200 Series).
Programmability Support
Candidate Configuration—A temporary configuration that can be modified without changing running configuration. You can then choose when to update the device's configuration with the candidate configuration, by committing and confirming the candidate configuration.
Model-Driven Telemetry—Model-driven telemetry allows network devices to continuously stream real time configuration and operating state information to subscribers.
For more information, see the Programmability Configuration Guide, Cisco IOS XE Fuji 16.9.x.
VPLS Statistics
VPLS statistic feature supports packet and byte count in ingress and egress directions.
For more information on the supported MIBs, see the MPLS Layer 2 VPNs Configuration Guide, Cisco IOS XE Fuji 16.9.x.
VRRPv3 SNMP MIB
SNMP MIBs are now supported for Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) version 3. For more information on the supported MIBs, see the First Hop Redundancy Protocols Configuration Guide, Cisco IOS XE Fuji 16.9.x (NCS 4200 Series).
Over subscription mode enables the operation of the 8-port 10 Gigabit Ethernet interface module in slots with a lesser backplane capacity. With over subscription mode all the front plane ports of the interface module receive and transmit traffic.
Partial port mode is used to free the used Serializer/Deserializer (SerDes) lines, to accommodate other interface modules that support over subscription in slots that may utilize the shared SerDes.
Both these modes are introduced to support population of maximum number of interface modules on the chassis.
For more information, see Cisco NCS 4200 Series Software Configuration Guide, Cisco IOS XE Fuji 16.9.x.
From current release, the following interface module is supported on NCS 4216 and NCS 4216 F2B chassis.
1-port OC48/ 4-port OC12/OC3 + 12-port T1/E1 + 4-port T3/E3 CEM Interface Module
The NCS4200-3GMS interface module supports:
12xDS1/E1 + 4xDS3/E3/STS-1e interface over the high-density port
1xOC48/12/3 or 1GE interface and 3xOC12/3 or 1GE interface
For more information on supported ports, see Cisco NCS 4206 Hardware Installation Guide, Cisco NCS 4216 Hardware Installation Guide, or Cisco NCS 4216 F2B Hardware Installation Guide.
