Software Features in Cisco IOS XE Cupertino 17.9.1

Feature Name

Description

DHCP Snooping with Egress SPAN on the same interface

Introduces support for configuring concurrent DHCP Snooping and egress SPAN on the same interface for non-SDA deployments.

Programmability

- YANG Data Models

- Pubd Restartability

The following programmability features are introduced in this release:

- YANG Data Models: For the list of Cisco IOS XE YANG models available with this release, navigate to: https://github.com/YangModels/yang/tree/master/vendor/cisco/xe/1791.

Revision statements embedded in the YANG files indicate if there has been a model revision. The README.md file in the same GitHub location highlights changes that have been made in the release.

(Network Advantage)

- Pubd Restartability: The pubd process is restartable on all platforms in this release. Prior to this release, pubd was restartable only on certain platforms. On other platforms, to restart the pubd process, the whole device had to be restarted.

Smart Licensing Using Policy

- New mechanism to send data privacy related information

- Hostname support

The following Smart Licensing Using Policy features are introduced in this release:

- New mechanism to send data privacy related information: This information is no longer included in a RUM report.

If data privacy is disabled (no license smart privacy { all | hostname | version} global configuration command), data privacy related information is sent in a separate sync message or offline file.

Depending on the topology you have implemented, the product instance initiates the sending of this information in a separate message, or CSLU and SSM On-Prem initiates the retrieval of this information from the product instance, or this information is saved in the offline file that is generated when you enter the license smart save usage privileged EXEC command.

- Hostname support: Support for sending hostname information was introduced.

If you configure a hostname on the product instance and disable the corresponding privacy setting (no license smart privacy hostname global configuration command), hostname information is sent from the product instance, in a separate sync message or offline file.

Depending on the topology you have implemented, the hostname information is received by CSSM, and CSLU or SSM On-Prem. It is then displayed on the corresponding user interface.

(Network Advantage)

SMU Installation disabled in bundle mode

Support for SMU installation is disabled in bundle mode. Installation is supported only in install mode.

(Network Advantage)

Support for PI SSH

Cisco IOS SSH Server and Client support for the following encryption algorithms have been introduced:

- aes128-gcm@openssh.com

- aes256-gcm@openssh.com

SXP Version 5

SXP version 5 has been designed to export and import SXP mappings between specified SXP peers.

(DNA Advantage)

New on the WebUI

There are no WebUI features in this release.

Hardware and Software Behavior Changes in Cisco IOS XE Cupertino 17.9.1

Behavior Change

Description

Custom SDM Templates: Default FIB MAC Address Value

The custom FIB MAC address minimum/default value is 16K. The configurable range for the number of 1k entries is 16 to 128.

From Cisco IOS XE Cupertino 17.9.1, this is applicable to all subsequent releases.

DHCP Egress Packets Captured in SPAN Sessions

SPAN sessions capture Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) egress packets when DHCP snooping is enabled on the device.

Inlet Temperature Threshold Values

Yellow and Red thresholds for inlet temperature are modified on Cisco Catalyst 9200CX Series Switches. The new values are:

- Yellow Threshold: 75 degree celsius

- Red Threshold: 85 degree celsius

Last Reload Reason in show version command output

The show version command output in User EXEC mode is modified. This applies only to stacked switches. Last reload reason does not display error now.

RUM report throttling

For all topologies where the product instance initiates communication, the minimum reporting frequency is throttled to one day. This means the product instance does not send more than one RUM report a day.

The affected topologies are: Connected Directly to CSSM, Connected to CSSM Through CSLU (product instance-initiated communication), CSLU Disconnected from CSSM (product instance-initiated communication), and SSM On-Prem Deployment (product instance-initiated communication).

This resolves the problem of too many RUM reports being generated and sent for certain licenses. It also resolves the memory-related issues and system slow-down that was caused by an excessive generation of RUM reports.

You can override the reporting frequency throttling, by entering the license smart sync command in privileged EXEC mode. This triggers an on-demand synchronization with CSSM or CSLU, or SSM On-Prem, to send and receive any pending data.

RUM report throttling also applies to the Cisco IOS XE Amsterdam 17.3.6 and later releases of the 17.3.x train, and Cisco IOS XE Bengaluru 17.6.4 and later releases of the 17.6.x train. From Cisco IOS XE Cupertino 17.9.1, RUM report throttling is applicable to all subsequent releases.

show logging onboard switch poe command output

The show logging onboard switch poe command output is modified on Cisco Catalyst 9200CX Series Switches. The maximum sensor value is modified.

show vlan mapping command output

The show vlan mapping command output is modified. Information about Five GigabitEthernet interface is displayed in the output.

Accessing Hidden Commands

This section provides information about hidden commands in Cisco IOS XE and the security measures that are in place, when they are accessed. These commands are only meant to assist Cisco TAC in advanced troubleshooting and are not documented.

Hidden commands are available under:

- Category 1—Hidden commands in privileged or User EXEC mode. Begin by entering the service internal command to access these commands.

- Category 2—Hidden commands in one of the configuration modes (global, interface and so on). These commands do not require the service internal command.

Further, the following applies to hidden commands under Category 1 and 2:

- The commands have CLI help. Enter enter a question mark (?) at the system prompt to display the list of available commands.

Note: For Category 1, enter the service internal command before you enter the question mark; you do not have to do this for Category 2.

- The system generates a %PARSER-5-HIDDEN syslog message when a hidden command is used. For example:

*Feb 14 10:44:37.917: %PARSER-5-HIDDEN: Warning!!! 'show processes memory old-header ' is a hidden command.
Use of this command is not recommended/supported and will be removed in future.

Apart from category 1 and 2, there remain internal commands displayed on the CLI, for which the system does NOT generate the %PARSER-5-HIDDEN syslog message.

Important

We recommend that you use any hidden command only under TAC supervision.

If you find that you are using a hidden command, open a TAC case for help with finding another way of collecting the same information as the hidden command (for a hidden EXEC mode command), or to configure the same functionality (for a hidden configuration mode command) using non-hidden commands.

Default Behaviour

Beginning from Cisco IOS XE Gibraltar 16.12.5 and later, do not fragment bit (DF bit) in the IP packet is always set to 0 for all outgoing RADIUS packets (packets that originate from the device towards the RADIUS server).

https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/switches/catalyst-9200-series-switches/nb-06-cat9200-ser-data-sheet-cte-en.html

Chapter 6. Limitations and Restrictions

Limitations and Restrictions

- Control Plane Policing (CoPP)—The show run command does not display information about classes configured under system-cpp policy, when they are left at default values. Use the show policy-map system-cpp-policy or the show policy-map control-plane commands in privileged EXEC mode instead.

- Hardware Limitations

- Management Port—You cannot modify the configured port speed, duplex mode and flow control and disable auto-negotiation on the Ethernet Management port (GigabitEthernet0/0). Port speed and duplex mode can only be changed from a peer port.

- Network Module — When the C9200-NM-4X network module is plugged into the C9200 SKUs of the Cisco Catalyst 9200 Series Switches, the uplink interface remains in down state until the network module is recognized by the switch. The time taken for the switch to recognize the network module is longer in comparison to the time taken by the switch to recognize other interconnected devices.

- If the 1-meter and 1.5-meter 10-GBase-CX1 cables, which are connected on the 10-G ports of the Catalyst 9200L switches, are connected to the 10-G peer ports of the Catalyst 9200L or Catalyst 9200 switches, the peer device might go into the error-disabled state because of link flapping if the local device is restarted. As a workaround, run the shut and no shut commands on the error-disabled peer interfaces.

- Some DWDM 10G SFPs may take slightly longer (up to 2 seconds) to link up on some variants of the Catalyst 9200 Series Switches. Before the link is up, you may expect to see SymbolErr frames in the output of the show controller ethernet command. Once the link is up, SymbolErr frames count stops increasing.

- QoS restrictions

- When configuring QoS queuing policy, the sum of the queuing buffer should not exceed 100%.

- Policing and marking policy on sub interfaces is supported.

- Marking policy on witched virtual interfaces (SVI) is supported.

- QoS policies are not supported for port-channel interfaces, tunnel interfaces, and other logical interfaces.

- Secure Shell (SSH)

- Use SSH Version 2. SSH Version 1 is not supported.

- When the device is running SCP and SSH cryptographic operations, expect high CPU until the SCP read process is completed. SCP supports file transfers between hosts on a network and uses SSH for the transfer.

Since SCP and SSH operations are currently not supported on the hardware crypto engine, running encryption and decryption process in software causes high CPU. The SCP and SSH processes can show as much as 40 or 50 percent CPU usage, but they do not cause the device to shutdown.

- Smart Licensing Using Policy: Starting with Cisco IOS XE Amsterdam 17.3.2a, 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).

This limitation is removed from Cisco IOS XE Cupertino 17.9.1. If you configure a hostname and disable hostname privacy (no license smart privacy hostname global configuration command), hostname information is sent from the product instance and displayed on the applicable user interfaces (CSSM, CSLU, SSM On-Prem). For more information, see the command reference for this release.

- Stacking

- Stacking is supported on Cisco Catalyst 9200 Series Switches. A switch stack supports up to eight stack members. However, you cannot stack C9200 SKUs with C9200L SKUs

The supported stacking bandwidth on C9200L SKUs is up to 80Gbps; on C9200 SKUs, this is up to 160Gbps.

- The C9200-24PB and C9200-48PB switch models can be stacked only with each other and not with other models of the Cisco Catalyst 9200 Series Switches.

- Auto upgrade for a new member switch is supported only in the install mode.

- TACACS legacy command: Do not configure the legacy tacacs-server host command; this command is deprecated. If the software version running on your device is Cisco IOS XE Gibraltar 16.12.2 or a later release, using the legacy command can cause authentication failures. Use the tacacs server command in global configuration mode.

- USB Authentication—When you connect a Cisco USB drive to the switch, the switch tries to authenticate the drive against an existing encrypted preshared key. Since the USB drive does not send a key for authentication, the following message is displayed on the console when you enter password encryption aes command:

Device(config)# password encryption aes
Master key change notification called without new or old key

- MACsec is not supported on Software-Defined Access deployments.

- VLAN Restriction—It is advisable to have well-defined segregation while defining data and voice domain during switch configuration and to maintain a data VLAN different from voice VLAN across the switch stack. If the same VLAN is configured for data and voice domains on an interface, the resulting high CPU utilization might affect the device.

- YANG data modeling limitation—A maximum of 20 simultaneous NETCONF sessions are supported.

- Embedded Event Manager—Identity event detector is not supported on Embedded Event Manager.

- Upgrading the software image from Cisco IOS XE Gibraltar 16.12.x to any of the later releases can result in a persistent database operation failure and after which the persistent database cannot be restored.

To avoid the persistent database operation failure, use the dir bootflash:.dbpersist command to list all DB persist files and then use delete bootflash:/.dbpersist/folder_name/file_name and bootflash:/.dbpersist/folder_name/file_name.meta commands to delete individual database and meta files from each persistent database folder.

- The File System Check (fsck) utility is not supported in install mode.

- The DiagMemoryTest GOLD test is not supported on the Catalyst 9200 Series Switches.

- Downgrading in Install Mode

Finding the Software Version

The package files for the Cisco IOS XE software are stored on the system board flash device (flash:).

You can use the show version privileged EXEC command to see the software version that is running on your switch.

Note

Although the show version output always shows the software image running on the switch, the model name shown at the end of this display is the factory configuration and does not change if you upgrade the software license.

You can also use the dir filesystem: privileged EXEC command to see the directory names of other software images that you might have stored in flash memory.

Automatic Boot Loader Upgrade

When you upgrade from the existing release on your switch to a later or newer release for the first time, the boot loader may be automatically upgraded, based on the hardware version of the switch. If the boot loader is automatically upgraded, it will take effect on the next reload. If you go back to the older release after this, the boot loader is not downgraded. The updated boot loader supports all previous releases.

Caution

Do not power cycle your switch during the upgrade.

Software Installation Commands

Summary of Software Installation Commands

To install and activate the specified file, and to commit changes to be persistent across reloads:

install add file filename [ activate commit]

To separately install, activate, commit, cancel, or remove the installation file: install ?

add file tftp: filename

Copies the install file package from a remote location to the device and performs a compatibility check for the platform and image versions.

activate [ auto-abort-timer]

Activates the file, and reloads the device. The auto-abort-timer keyword automatically rolls back image activation.

commit

Makes changes persistent over reloads.

rollback to committed

Rolls back the update to the last committed version.

abort

Cancels file activation, and rolls back to the version that was running before the current installation procedure started.

remove

Deletes all unused and inactive software installation files.

Upgrading in Install Mode

Follow these instructions to upgrade from one release to another, in install mode. To perform a software image upgrade, you must be booted into IOS through boot flash:packages.conf .
