BGP EVPN VXLAN

• fast-detection command

• show lisp instance {ipv4 | ipv6 | ethernet} command

The following BGP EVPN VXLAN features are introduced in this release:

• fast-detection command: fast-detection command enables SD-Access support for fast wireless roaming of end points.

• show lisp instance {ipv4 | ipv6 | ethernet} command: The output of show lisp instance {ipv4 | ipv6 | ethernet} command is enhanced to display the affinity ID for the local device.

device tracking export oper data command

The device tracking export oper data command is introduced. This command is used to export information like Switch Integrated Security Features (SISF) IP addresses and MAC address tables to the Crimson database.

Distributed Processing for IPsec

Distributed processing increases the IPsec throughput which was earlier limited to 100G. On the Cisco Catalyst 9300X Series Switches, IPsec throughput is increased to 200G.

hw-module ecomode serdes-disable command

The hw-module ecomode serdes-disable command is introduced. Empty SFP ports have ecomode enabled and are powered down by default to save power. Use the hw-module ecomode serdes-disable command to turn off ecomode.

IP SLA Probe Configuration Modification Capability

Introduces support to reconfigure the parameters of a scheduled IP SLA session using the configure replace command.

mDNS Protocol Options

The mDNS protocol option is introduced in the device sensor filter spec command. This allows the user to apply the mDNS protocol TLV filter list to the device sensor output. The device sensor filter list mdns command is introduced to create a mDNS protocol filter containing a list of Type-Length-Value (TLV) fields that can be included or excluded in the device sensor output. The tlv command is introduced to configure the list of Type Length Value (TLVs) in mDNS protocol configuration mode.

NAT SSO support with StackWise Virtual

Introduces support for synchronization of the NAT state information across active and standby devices so that if the active device fails, the standby device can take over smoothly and update its software without interrupting In-Service Software Upgrade (ISSU).

OSPF Local RIB Path Limit Enhancement

The OSPF Local RIB Path Limit feature is designed to restrict the number of paths stored by OSPF in its Local RIB, offering enhanced control over network path selection. With the maximum-paths command enabled, the network administrators can now control the number of paths OSPF installs in the Local RIB for a specific prefix.

(Network Essentials and Network Advantage)

Programmability:

• gNMI: Stream Subscriptions with on-Change Mode

• gNMI: SubscribeResponse with sync_response

• YANG Data Models

• YANG Support for Mutiple Next-Hops

The following programmability features are introduced in this release:

• gNMI: Stream Subscriptions with on-Change Mode: gNMI telemetry supports on-change subscriptions on the same set of models as other telemetry protocols.

  (Network Essentials)

• gNMI: SubscribeResponse with sync_response: The sync_response is a boolean field that is part of the SubscribeResponse response message. The sync_response message is sent after the first update message.

  (Network Essentials)

• YANG Data Models: For the list of Cisco IOS XE YANG models available with this release, navigate to: https://github.com/YangModels/yang/tree/main/vendor/cisco/xe/17141.

  (Network Advantage)

• YANG Support for Mutiple Next-Hops: A new container is added under the next-hop-options choice node to retrieve all next-hops for a given route or prefix. Also, an uptime leaf node is added to provide the timestamp for each next hop.

  (Network Advantage)

show reload history command

The show reload history command is introduced. It displays the reason for device reload and its history.

spanning-tree bpdu sender-conflict command

This feature allows the user to enable spanning tree protocol BPDU sender conflict feature using the spanning-tree bpdu sender-conflict command. When the device is in RSTP mode, BPDU packets are transmitted every two seconds from a designated port to a non-designated port. When you use the spanning-tree bpdu sender-conflict command, if there is any change in the RSTP mode due to sender conflict, the device generates a notification.

There are no new WebUI features in this release.
