Release Notes for Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Routers for Cisco IOS XR Software Release 5.1.1
Cisco IOS XR Software is a distributed operating system designed for continuous system operation combined with service flexibility and higher performance.
Note
For information on Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router running Cisco IOS XR Software Release 5.1.1, see the Features Supported on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router section.
These release notes describe the features provided on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router running Cisco IOS XR Software Release 5.1.1 and are updated as needed.
For a list of software caveats that apply to the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router running Cisco IOS XR Software Release 5.1.1, see the Caveats section. The caveats are updated for every release and are described at http://www.cisco.com.
Cisco IOS XR Software running on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router provides the following features and benefits:
- IP and Routing—This supports a wide range of IPv4 and IPv6 services and routing protocols such as Border Gateway Protocol (BGP), Routing Information Protocol (RIPv2), Intermediate System-to-Intermediate System (IS-IS), Open Shortest Path First (OSPF), IP Multicast, Routing Policy Language (RPL), Hot Standby Router Protocol (HSRP), and Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) features.
- Ethernet Services—The following Ethernet features are supported:
- Ethernet Virtual Connections (EVCs)
- Flexible VLAN classification
- Flexible VLAN translation
- IEEE bridging
- IEEE 802.1s Multiple Spanning Tree (MST)
- MST Access Gateway
- L2VPN
- Virtual Private LAN Services (VPLS), Hierarchical VPLS (H-VPLS), Virtual Private Wire Service (VPWS), Ethernet over MPLS (EoMPLS), pseudo wire redundancy, and multi segment pseudo wire stitching.
- BGP Prefix Independent Convergence—This provides the ability to converge BGP routes within sub seconds instead of multiple seconds. The Forwarding Information Base (FIB) is updated, independent of a prefix, to converge multiple 100K BGP routes with the occurrence of a single failure. This convergence is applicable to both core and edge failures and with or without MPLS. This fast convergence innovation is unique to Cisco IOS XR Software.
- Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS)—This supports MPLS protocols, including Traffic Engineering (TE) [including TE-FRR and TW Preferred Path], Resource Reservation Protocol (RSVP), Label Distribution Protocol (LDP), Targeted LDP (T-LDP), Differentiated Services (DiffServ)-aware traffic engineering, and Layer 3 Virtual Private Network (L3VPN).
- Multicast—This provides comprehensive IP Multicast software including Source Specific Multicast (SSM) and Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) in Sparse Mode only. The Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router also supports Auto-Rendezvous Point (AutoRP), Multiprotocol BGP (MBGP), Multicast Source Discovery Protocol (MSDP), Internet Group Management Protocol Versions 2 and 3 (IGMPv2 and v3), IGMPv2 and v3 snooping, Multicast Listener Discovery (MLD) versions 1 and 2, and MLD snooping versions 1 and 2.
- Quality of Service (QOS)—This supports QoS mechanisms including policing, marking, queuing, random and hard traffic dropping, and shaping. Additionally, Cisco IOS XR supports modular QoS command-line interface (MQC). MQC is used to configure various QoS features on various Cisco platforms, including the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router. Supports the following:
- Manageability—This provides industry-standard management interfaces including modular command-line interface (CLI), Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), and native Extensible Markup Language (XML) interfaces. Includes a comprehensive set of Syslog messages.
- Security—This provides comprehensive network security features including Layer 2 and Layer 3 access control lists (ACLs); routing authentications; Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting (AAA)/Terminal Access Controller Access Control System (TACACS+), Secure Shell (SSH), Management Plane Protection (MPP) for management plane security, and Simple Network Management Protocol version3 (SNMPv3). Control plane protections integrated into line card Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs) include Generalized TTL Security Mechanism (GTSM), RFC 3682, and Dynamic Control Plane Protection (DCPP).
- Availability—This supports rich availability features such as fault containment, fault tolerance, fast switchover, link aggregation, nonstop routing for ISIS, LDP and OSPF, and nonstop forwarding (NSF).

Note that error messages may display if features run without the appropriate licenses installed. For example, when creating or configuring VRF, if the A9K-IVRF-LIC license is not installed before creating a VRF, the following message displays:
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router#LC/0/0/CPU0:Dec 15 17:57:53.653 : rsi_agent[247]: %LICENSE-ASR9K_LICENSE-2-INFRA_VRF_NEEDED : 5 VRF(s) are configured without license A9K-iVRF-LIC in violation of the Software Right To Use Agreement. This feature may be disabled by the system without the appropriate license. Contact Cisco to purchase the license immediately to avoid potential service interruption.For Cisco license support, please contact your Cisco Sales Representative or Customer Service at 800- 553-NETS (6387) or 408-526-4000. For questions on the program other than ordering, please send e-mail to: cwm-license@cisco.com.
Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregration Services Router Right-To-Use (RTU) Licensing
Here are on-line locations of the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Right-To-Use (RTU) licensing docs:http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/routers/asr9000/hardware/Prodlicense/A9k-AIP-LIC-B.html
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/routers/asr9000/hardware/Prodlicense/A9k-AIP-LIC-E.html
NoteLayer 3 VPNs are only to be used after you have purchased a license. Cisco will enforce the RTU of L3VPNs in follow on releases. You should contact Cisco, or check the release notes for the follow on release before upgrading for directions on how to install the license as part of the upgrade - otherwise the L3VPN feature may be affected.
The activation of VRF capability still requires the use of the appropriate per line card license (A9K-IVRF-LIC / A9K-AIP-LIC-B / A9K-AIP-LIC-E). Please contact your sales representative for more details.
Firmware Support
To check the firmware code running on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router, run the show fpd package command in admin mode.
If upgrading from Release 3.7.3 or earlier releases, you may be expected to do a one-time FPD upgrade for any firmware images that may have changed since the last release. Refer to the documents at http://www.cisco.com/web/Cisco_IOS_XR_Software/index.html for upgrade instructions.

ProcedureTo determine the version of Cisco IOS XR Software running on your router, log in to the router and enter the show version command:
Software Features Introduced in Cisco IOS XR Software Release 5.1.1 for Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Service Router
ACL Support in RPL Prefix Sets
Access Control List (ACL) type prefix set entries holds IPv4 or IPv6 prefix match specifications, each of which has an address and a wildcard mask. The address and wildcard mask is a standard dotted-decimal IPv4 or colon-separated hexadecimal IPv6 address. The set of bits to be matched are provided in the form of wildcard also called as inverted mask in which a binary 0 means a mandatory match and binary 1 means a do not match condition. The prefix set allows to specify contiguous and non-contiguous set of bits that should be matched in any route.
For more information on ACL Support in RPL Prefix Sets, see the Implementing Routing Policy chapter in the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Routing Configuration Guide. For more information on ACL Support in RPL Prefix Sets commands, see the Routing Policy Language Commands chapter in the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Routing Command Reference.
BGP Link-State
BGP Link-State (LS) is an Address Family Identifier (AFI) and Sub-address Family Identifier (SAFI) defined to carry interior gateway protocol (IGP) link-state database through BGP. BGP LS delivers network topology information to topology servers and Application Layer Traffic Optimization (ALTO) servers. BGP LS allows policy-based control to aggregation, information-hiding, and abstraction. BGP LS supports IS-IS and OSPFv2.
Note
IGPs do not use BGP LS data from remote peers. BGP does not download the received BGP LS data to any other component on the router.For more information on BGP LS, see the Implementing BGP chapter in the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Routing Configuration Guide. For more information on BGP LS commands, see the Border Gateway Protocol Commands chapter in the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Routing Command Reference.
BGP Multi-Instance Multi-AS Enhancement
The BGP Multi-Instance Multi-AS supports hosting of multicast-enabled VPNs, Multicast Distribution Tree sub-address family identifier (MDT-SAFI), Multicast Virtual Private Network sub-address family identifier (MVPN-SAFI), and Multicast Source Discovery Protocol (MSDP) queries on multiple BGP instances.
BGP Permanent Network
BGP permanent network feature supports static routing through BGP. BGP routes to IPv4 or IPv6 destinations (identified by a route-policy) can be administratively created and selectively advertised to BGP peers. These routes remain in the routing table until they are administratively removed.
For more information on BGP LS, see the Implementing BGP chapter in the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Routing Configuration Guide. For more information on BGP LS commands, see the Border Gateway Protocol Commands chapter in the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Routing Command Reference.
OSPF IP Fast Reroute Loop Free Alternate
The OSPF IP Fast Reroute (FRR) Loop Free Alternate (LFA) computation supports these:
For more information on OSPF IP FRR LFA, see the Implementing OSPF chapter in the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Routing Configuration Guide. For more information on OSPF IP FRR LFA commands, see the OSPFCommands chapter in the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Routing Command Reference.
Advanced Satellite nV Topologies
Cisco IOS XR Software supports these advanced Satellite nV System Network Topologies:
- Dual-homed Satellite nV network architecture - In the dual home architecture, two hosts are connected to a satellite through the Satellite Discovery And Control (SDAC) Protocol. The SDAC Protocol provides the behavioral, semantic, and syntactic definition of the relationship between a satellite device and its host. Both these dual-homed hosts act in the active/standby mode for the satellite. The standby host takes control of the satellite only when the active host is down. The two hosts leverage the existing mLACP infrastructure to provide redundant Layer 2 and Layer 3 services for Satellite Ethernet interfaces.
- Simple Ring Satellite nV topology - A satellite or ring of satellites can be dual-homed to two hosts. The two hosts communicate using the ORBIT protocol over ICCP. In simple ring topology, the satellite chassis serial number is a mandatory configuration to identify the satellite. When the ring span is broken. the satellite and hosts detect the link failure using LOS mechanism and perform the necessary switching based Dual Home management.
- Layer 2 Fabric network architecture - In the Layer 2 Fabric network architecture, a satellite is connected to one or two hosts through one of two Ethernet Virtual Circuits (EVC) of Layer 2 Fabric network. An EVC can be identified by two transports VLAN IDs, such as TP-VID-S and TP-VID-H. TP-VID-S is the VLAN ID assigned by the satellite side transport and TP-VID-H is the VLAN ID assigned by the host. The CFM based Fast Fabric Link Failure Detection is supported only in the Layer 2 Fabric Network Architecture.
Refer the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Interface and Hardware Component Configuration Guide for more information on the satellite topologies and configuration.
DHCP RADIUS Proxy
BNG supports DHCP IPv4 RADIUS proxy for RADIUS-based authorization of DHCP leases. This is a RADIUS-based address assignment mechanism in which a DHCP server authorizes remote clients and allocates IP addresses, based on replies from a RADIUS server. For DHCP RADIUS proxy to work, you must configure the DHCPv4 server profile on the BNG interface.
For more information about the DHCP RADIUS Proxy feature, see the Establishing Subscriber Sessions chapter in the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Broadband Network Gateway Configuration Guide.
Line Card Subscribers
BNG supports line card (LC) subscribers which are based on physical access interfaces. This support is in addition to supporting route processor (RP) subscribers, which are based on bundle access-interfaces. Apart from route switch processor (RSP), line cards also support session termination and control plane protocols. For LC subscribers, both control and data planes run on the same node and share the same CPU resource. In contrast, for bundle subscribers, the control plane runs completely on RSP, and the data plane runs completely on LC.
For more information about the Line Card Subscribers feature, see the Establishing Subscriber Sessions chapter in the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Broadband Network Gateway Configuration Guide.
Routed Subscriber Sessions
BNG supports L3 or routed subscriber sessions, where IP subscribers are connected through a routed access network. The policies and services on the routed subscriber sessions are applied in a similar manner as with L2 subscriber sessions.
For more information about the Routed Subscriber Sessions feature, see the Establishing Subscriber Sessions chapter in the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Broadband Network Gateway Configuration Guide. For complete command reference of the Routed Subscriber Sessions specific commands, see the IPoE Commands chapter in the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Broadband Network Gateway Command Reference.
Static Sessions
BNG supports interface-based static sessions, where all traffic belonging to a particular VLAN sub-interface is treated as a single session. These sessions are created or deleted, based on the configuration of static session on the sub-interface (access-interface). The session establishment is triggered by creating a static subscriber configuration on a sub-interface; the session termination is triggered by removing that configuration.
For more information about the Static Sessions feature, see the Establishing Subscriber Sessions chapter in the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Broadband Network Gateway Configuration Guide. For complete command reference of the Static Sessions specific commands, see the IPoE Commands chapter and Subscriber Commands chapter in the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Broadband Network Gateway Command Reference.
Subscriber Session Limit
The subscriber session limit feature limits the total number of subscriber sessions in a BNG router. If a new subscriber session comes up after the router reaches the overall session limit, then the earliest un-authenticated session is deleted. If the router reaches the overall subscriber session limit and if all the sessions present in the router are authenticated sessions, then the request for a new session is rejected.
For more information about the Subscriber Session Limit feature, see the Establishing Subscriber Sessions chapter in the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Broadband Network Gateway Configuration Guide. For complete command reference of the Subscriber Session Limit specific commands, see the Subscriber Commands chapter in the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Broadband Network Gateway Command Reference.
Subscriber Session-Restart
BNG supports IPoE subscriber session-restart, where the DHCP binding for a subscriber session is retained even after the session is deleted. The DHCP client still holds the initial IP address issued by BNG. Later, when the client sends data packets or a DHCP renew request, the session is re-created in BNG. This behavior applies to DHCPv4 sessions on RP or LC.
For more information about Subscriber Session-restart feature, see the Establishing Subscriber Sessions chapter in the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Broadband Network Gateway Configuration Guide.
GRE Tunnel Key
The GRE Tunnel Key feature enables the encapsulation router to add a four-byte key as part of the GRE header during encapsulation. In the decapsulation router, the GRE key of an incoming packet should match the key value configured under the GRE tunnel. During decapsulation, if a mismatch between the key value of the incoming GRE packet and the key value configured under the GRE tunnel is identified, the incoming packet is dropped.
For more information on the GRE tunnel key feature, see the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router MPLS Layer 3 VPN Configuration Guide, Release 5.1.x . For information on the commands used for GRE tunnel configuration, see the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router L2VPN and Ethernet Services Command Reference, Release 5.1.x .
LFA over PW-HE
PW-HE is supported on loop free alternate (LFA) routes. For LFA to be effective on a PW-HE interface, all the routing paths (protected and backup) must be included in the generic interface list of that PW-HE interface.
For more information on LFA over PW-HE, see the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router MPLS Configuration Guide, Release 5.1.x.
PW-HE Ethernet Sub-interfaces and Interworking Interfaces (VC-type 11)
The PW-HE is created by configuring pw-ether main interface, pw-ether subinterface, or pw-iw interface. The available PW-HE types are pw-ether main interfaces, subinterfaces, and pw-iw interfaces.
Cross-connects that contain PW-Ether main interfaces can be configured as either VC-type 5 or VC-type 4.
Cross-connects that contain PW-Ether main interfaces, which have L3 PW-Ether subinterfaces associated with them, are supported with only VC-type 5.
Cross-connects that contain PW-IW interfaces are only supported with IPv4 and VC-type 11. PW-IW interfaces are the L3 virtual interfaces used for IP interworking.
For more information, see the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router L2VPN and Ethernet Services Configuration Guide.
Auto-IP
In ring topology, when a device is inserted into the ring, the neighboring node interfaces require manual reconfiguration. The auto-IP feature addresses the problem of manually reconfiguring nodes during insertion, deletion, and movement of nodes within the ring. The auto-IP feature automatically provides IP addresses to the nodes inserted into the ring.
DHCPv4 Local Server enhancements
DHCPv4 Client-Relay-Server Topology
ASR9K supports DHCPv4 Client-Relay-Server topology. The main features are:
- VRF awareness (RFC and CISCO modes, except TYPE-1, are supported):
- For standalone mode, if a VPN-ID sub-option is inserted by the relay, then the same VRF is used to select a pool under the matching class. If VPN-ID sub-option is not inserted by the relay, then the relay-interfacing or the client-interfacing VRF is used to select a pool under the matching class. The dynamic address pool server (DAPS) allocates the IP address from the same pool and VRF.
- For BNG mode, the VPN-ID sub-option is ignored. The VRF is read from the subscriber database only. The same VRF is used for pool selection also.
- IP address allocation based on the received DHCP Options 60, 77, 124 and 125:
- The data values of received DHCP options 60, 77, 124 and 125 are compared with the configured values of these options within a class. The order of matching a class is VRF, CID, RID, Option-60, Option-77, Option-124 and Option-125. All the values must match. The pool from the same address class is used to allocate the IP address.
- IP address allocation based on the received relay information, Circuit-ID (CID) and Remote-ID (RID):
- Support for Server-Id-Override sub-option (RFC and CISCO modes are supported):
- Support for Option-50 (Requested-IP):
- Support for Subnet-Selection sub-option (RFC and CISCO modes are supported):
- If the client is directly connected to the server, then the client-facing interface IP address is used as the subnet.
- If Option-50 is not inserted by the client, but if the Subnet-Selection sub-option is inserted by the relay, then the DAPS allocates the requested IP address within the received subnet. If the DAPS cannot allocate the IP address in the given subnet, then the packet is dropped.
- If Option-50 was not inserted by the client, and if Subnet-Selection sub-option was also not inserted by the relay, then the gateway IP address is considered as the subnet. The DAPS allocates the requested IP address within the same subnet.
A new command, option dhcp-option-code, is introduced to provide a generic interface to insert server specific options in raw format (ASCII, HEX and IP). The DHCP options 0, 1, 3, 6, 12, 15, 44, 46, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 58, 59, 61, 82 and 255 are not supported for this command.
Carrier-Supporting-Carrier Support for MPLS LDP
The carrier-supporting-carrier (CSC) support for MPLS LDP feature enables MPLS label distribution protocol (LDP) to provide carrier-supporting-carrier (CSC) support for Layer 3 Virtual Private Networks. To support LDP as label distribution protocol between PE-CE devices in an MPLS CSC L3VPN, LDP is required to operate in multiple VRF contexts. To support multiple VRFs, the LDP configuration model is be extended to allow VRF sub-mode and per-VRF configuration.
MPLS Static
The MPLS Static feature introduces ability to statically allocate MPLS label resources and provision static label switched paths (LSPs). MPLS static feature allows a user to:For information on MPLS Static configuration, refer Implementing MPLS Static module in Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router MPLS Configuration Guide. For information on the commands used for MPLS Static configuration, refer MPLS Static Commands module in Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router MPLS Command Reference.
MPLS TE Extended Admin Groups
The MPLS TE extended admin groups (EAG) configuration assigns EAG/AG name to bit-position and associates affinity-names with TE links. The configuration extends to assign names, up to 256, to TE links over the selected interface and assigns 32 names per attribute-set and index.
For more information on MPLS TE Extended Admin Groups, see the Implementing MPLS Traffic Engineering chapter in the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router MPLS Configuration Guide. For more information on MPLS TE Extended Admin Groups commands, see the MPLS Traffic Engineering Commands chapter in the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router MPLS Command Reference.
MPLS TE IPv6 Autoroute
The MPLS TE IPv6 Autoroute feature enables IPv4 and IPv6 routing over the same MPLS TEv4 tunnels in the core. This is done by exposing the IPv4 MPLS TE tunnels into the IPv6 IGP (IS-IS) topology as IPv6 forwarding adjacencies or autoroute announced tunnels (IGP shortcuts).
For more information on MPLS TE IPv6 Autoroute, see the Implementing MPLS Traffic Engineering chapter in the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router MPLS Configuration Guide. For more information on MPLS TE IPv6 Autoroute commands, see the MPLS Traffic Engineering Commands chapter in the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router MPLS Command Reference.
MPLS TE Usability Enhancements
MPLS traffic engineering command line interface and logging output messages are enhanced as follows:
- The show mpls traffic engineering commands display signaled-name and supports signaled-name filter.
- Ability to allow immediate teardown of all labelled switched paths ( LSPs) of the specified tunnel and to create new LSPs.
- Default behavior when affinity check fails at head-end is to reoptimize all LSP types.
- Logging output messages include MPLS TE tunnel signaled name.
- Logging of path change events and available bandwidth on the new for all auto-bandwidth operations.
- Auto-bandwidth logging output includes signaled name.
Policy Based Forwarding
Policy Based Forwarding (PBF) addresses the ability to forward packets based on these match conditions: Src address, Dst address, Protocol (TCP/UDP) and port number, DSCP markings, and Tos values. PBF works for both IPv4 and IPv6 address families.
PBF is supported only on ASR 9000 Enhanced Ethernet Line Cards.
PBF enables packet forwarding to the specified IPv4 /IPv6 next-hop based on packet classification using class-map.
NotePolicy based Forwarding (PBF) and Flow aware policy (UBRL/CAC) features will not work together on the same interface/direction.
PWHE over MPLS TE Tunnels
The PWHE over MPLS TE Tunnels feature supports forwarding of Pseudowire traffic (with Pseudowire Headend) over MPLS traffic engineering (TE) tunnels. PWHE over MPLS TE Tunnels supports PW-Ether and PW-IW with pseudowire forwarding over TE tunnels.
- TE tunnel cannot be configured as preferred-path for the PWHE-based Pseudowire. The preferred-path tunnel-te option under L2VPN XConnect PW-Class is not supported.
- Routing must be configured so that the route to the Pseudowire peer endpoint uses the TE tunnels.
- The TE tunnels can be configured with either "explicit" or with "dynamic path".
- TE tunnels redundancy and TE fast-reroute are supported with PWHE over MPLS TE tunnels.
No special configuration is required for TE tunnels to provide forwarding for PWHE-based Pseudowire. The default TE tunnel configuration is used for enabling PWHE over MPLS TE tunnels.
For information on MPLS TE configuration, refer Implementing MPLS Traffic Engineering module in Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router MPLS Configuration Guide.
For more information on PWHE configuration, refer Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router L2VPN and Ethernet Services Configuration Guide. For more information on the commands used for PWHE configuration, refer Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router L2VPN and Ethernet Services Command Reference.
Stateful Path Computation Element
The stateful path computation element (PCE) describes a set of procedures by which a path computation client ( PCC) can report and delegate control of head-end tunnels sourced from the PCC to a PCE peer. The PCE peer can request the PCC to update and modify parameters of label switched paths (LSPs) it controls. The stateful model also enables a PCC to allow the PCE to initiate computations allowing the PCE to perform network-wide orchestration.
For more information on Stateful PCE, see the Implementing MPLS Traffic Engineering chapter in the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router MPLS Configuration Guide. For more information on Stateful PCE commands, see the MPLS Traffic Engineering Commands chapter in the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router MPLS Command Reference.
VRF Redirection to MPLS TE Tunnels
The VRF redirection to MPLS TE tunnels feature adds automatic route with IGP metric over the MPLS TE tunnels through autoroute destination configuration. The VRF redirection to MPLS TE tunnels maps VRF prefixes over TE tunnels in the core to reach the same egress provider edge (PE). This enables to load-balance prefix traffic on multiple tunnels based on equal cost multi-path (ECMP). VRF redirection also updates metric changes so that BGP can pickup the best next-hop based on installed route metric.
VRF redirection supports:
- automatic static routing of traffic over TE tunnel
- intra and inter-area/AS tunnels and installing multiple IPv4 routes in the routing information base (RIB) over tunnel, and a route to the tunnel’s destination
- implicit /32 mask for each route
- high availability, RP failover, and non-stop forwarding (NSF)
For more information on VRF Redirection to MPLS TE Tunnels, see the Implementing MPLS Traffic Engineering chapter in the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router MPLS Configuration Guide. For more information on VRF Redirection to MPLS TE Tunnels commands, see the MPLS Traffic Engineering Commands chapter in the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router MPLS Command Reference.
Flow Aware QoS
The Flow aware QoS feature enables QoS actions to be applied at a flow level. The flows are detected or learnt dynamically on a per-class, per-interface, per-direction level and the QoS action or decisions are applied on a per-flow basis guided by a QoS policy applied on the interface. The framework also provides an option to enforce admission control on the incoming traffic to preemptively prevent congestion.
Inter Class Policer Bucket Sharing
Inter class policer bucket sharing feature allows policer bucket sharing among different classes in a hierarchical QoS model within the modular quality of service command line (MQC) construct to achieve multi rate policing of the same packet based on different classification criteria.
QoS Offload on Satellite
The QoS Offload feature offloads the QoS policies from the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router to the satellite switch so that traffic can be managed in the satellite itself. The QoS Offload feature supports the offloading of QoS policies applied not only to the Satellite access interfaces, but also to the Satellite switch's upstream interfaces, that face the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router. The offloading of QoS policies helps to drop excess traffic at the ingress direction (or access ports) and prioritize the protocol control traffic at the egress direction (or SFL). The QoS Offload feature is supported on Hub & Spoke, Dual Home, L2 Fabric and Simple Ring topologies.
Implementing CGv6 over Virtualized Services Module (VSM)
Cisco VSM is the next generation service card on the Cisco ASR9000 Series Aggregation Services Router. The software infrastructure on this card provides a virtual environment and the services run as virtual machines (VM) in this environment. CGv6 is the application VM running on VSM.
For more information on many-to-one address mapping, see the Implementing CGv6 over VSM module in the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router CGv6 Configuration Guide. For more information on Implementing CGv6 over VSM commands, see the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router CGv6 Command Reference.
Multicast IRB
Multicast IRB provides the ability to route multicast packets between a bridge group and a routed interface using a bridge-group virtual interface (BVI). It can be enabled with multicast-routing. THE BVI is a virtual interface within the router that acts like a normal routed interface. For details about BVI, refer Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Interface and Hardware Component Configuration Guide
BV interfaces are added to the existing VRF routes and integrated with the replication slot mask. After this integration, the traffic coming from a VRF BVI is forwarded to the VPN.
LSP-switch for P2MP-TE
Turnaround for P2MP-TE can be handled by LSP-switch with a partitioned profile. For partitioned profiles, there is no core tree (where all the PEs join). When the traffic arrives at the ingress PE, it is forwarded to the RP-PE on a LSP. The RP-PE must then switch the traffic to a different LSP for all the non-RP PE receivers.
Multicast support for PW-HE interfaces
Multicast support for Pseudowire Head-end (PW-HE) interfaces is available only on the enhanced ethernet cards.
Multicast support is available under these circumstances:
- IPv4 and IPv6 multicast traffic forwarding over the L3 PW-HE interface/sub-interface. PW-HE interface type can be PW-ether (VC4 or VC5) or PW-iw (VC11). IPv6 multicast is not available on VC11.
- L3 PW-HE interfaces/sub-interfaces in global , MVPNv4 and MVPNv6 VRFs.
- L3 PW-HE interface/sub-interfaces in MVPNv4 and MVPNv6 where the core can be GRE or MLDP.
- PIM-SM, PIM-SSM (PE-CE) , MSDP and PIM Auto-RP over the PW-HE interface.
- IGMP/ MLD snooping on L2 PW-HE VC5 sub-interface.
- VC label-based load balancing.
Two-Way Active Measurement Protocol (TWAMP)
The Two-Way Active Measurement Protocol (TWAMP) defines a flexible method for measuring round-trip IP performance between any two devices.

Note
The Cisco ASR 901 router does not support 10 GE interfaces as ICL or access ports.- MR-APS support on SPA-1XCHOC48/DS3—Multirouter Automatic Protection Switching (MR-APS) provides redundancy to the ASR 9000 platform at the Layer 1 level. This is achieved by the termination of the APS working and protect interfaces on two separate routers. The two routers are interconnected by an OOB (Out of Band) channel, over which the APS state is communicated to the standby router. PGP (Protect Group Protocol), a Cisco proprietary protocol runs on this channel. Any interface can be used for the OBB channel but we recommended that you use a reliable dedicated channel (with no user data traffic) between the working and protect routers.

To configure the control word, enter the control-word keyword shown in the following example:
pw-class class1 encapsulation mpls control-word- For configured policer rates of less than 1 Mbps, the actual policer rate can be approximately 10 percent less than the configured rate. For example, for a configured policer rate of 500 kbps, the actual policer rate is 448 kbps due to a granularity round down in hardware.
- In Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Software Release 4.0.0, the minimum configurable logging buffered size has been increased to 307200. Any configuration with a value less than 307200 fails to upgrade to Release 4.0.1.
- dsu mode Command Default— For E3 interfaces on the 4-Port Clear Channel T3/E3 SPA that interoperate with E3 interfaces on a Cisco 10000 Series router, the default data service unit (DSU) mode is digital-link. To change the DSU mode to cisco, configure scrambling.
- Starting from Cisco IOS XR Software Release 4.0.0, the hw-module location <LOC> reload warm command is disabled. As a result, the warm reload feature also has been disabled.
- In Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Software Release 4.1.0, you use the cablelength short command to set a cable length of 655 feet or shorter for a DS1 link on a 4-Port Channelized T1/E1 SPA. The cablelength short command options are listed as follows:
However, when using the cablelength short command on a 4-Port Channelized T1/E1 SPA in Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Software Release 4.1.0, only the 133ft option (for cable lengths from 0 to 133 feet) works. The other values that are greater than 133 feet (266, 399, 533, or 655) all cause the T1 controller to go down. The workaround is to restart the controller after you set the cable length to 266, 399, 533, or 655 feet. The cablelength long command works correctlyRP/0/RSP0/CPU0:vkg_ro1_a(config-t1)#cablelength short ? 133ft 0-133ft 266ft 134-266ft 399ft 267-399ft 533ft 400-533ft 655ft 534-655ft
Caveats

This section lists the caveats for Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Software Release and the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router platform.
- Cisco IOS XR Caveats
- Caveats Specific to the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router
- Caveats Specific to the ASR 9001 Router
Cisco IOS XR Caveats
The following open caveats apply to Cisco IOS XR Software Release and are not platform specific:
- CSCuh97547 Basic Description: BGP process crash @ bgp_fwdentry_info on heavy route flaps. Symptom BGP process crash observed when router undergoes route churn. Route churn as a result of triggers like clear bgp command may also hit this issue. Conditions: Router running Cisco IOS XR Software Release 5.1.1 software with label RPF feature configured AND BGP undergoes heavy route churn with prefix scale of around 420K v4 and 60k v6 routes. Workaround: None.
- CSCuj77052 Basic Description: IPv6 sessions with ND framed prefix delegation go down post RPFO. Symptom Immediately after an RPFO, IPv6 PPPoE sessions are brought down by the router and IPv6 traffic stops flowing on the sessions. This is accompanied by the following error message on the console (where addresses displayed will depend on the router's configuration): %ROUTING-RIB-3-ECMP_ERR_ADD : Path add exceed max number of paths supported by protocol. Table 0xXXXXXXXX, prefix XXXX:X:X::/64, protocol subscriber, intf 0xXXXXXXXX, tunnelid 0, nexthop_table 0xXXXXXXXX, nexthop fe80::XXX:XXXX:XXXX:XXX Conditions: This issue occurs with IPv6-only or dual stack PPPoE subscriber sessions when the ipv6_rib process is restarted or following an RP failover. This is observed when "ipv6 nd framed-prefix-pool" is used to delegate the prefix. Workaround: None.
- CSCul82815 Basic Description: VTY_disconnect is not able to clear allocated TTY. Symptom VTY line not getting cleared up on child channel exit. New child channel allocates a next available VTY line and very soon all VTY lines would be exhausted. Conditions: Using SSH client which support multichannel (openssh 5.0 or higher version). Workaround:
- CSCum59810 Basic Description: qos_ma crash if input Satellite QoS offload configured under ICL. Symptom qos_ma process crash observed during router boot-up. This happens with an incorrect service-policy configuration on an ICL interface (interface connected to Satellite). Conditions: The following mis-configuration can cause this crash:
interface TenGigE0/7/0/8 cdp nv service-policy input Sat-QoS-Offload satellite-fabric-link satellite 100Workaround: Configure as below:interface TenGigE0/7/0/8 cdp nv satellite-fabric-link satellite 100- CSCum70594 Basic Description: Self-originated External LSA counter underflow. Symptom
In some situations, the counter that keeps the number of redistributed prefixes can be decremented multiple times for a given prefix when prefix is not redistributed anymore. The following may occur:Conditions: Double decrement of the counter happens if the prefix that has been redistributed by OPFv3 changes the source protocol in RIB first, which is followed by the RIB removal of the prefix. Both of these need to happen in a very short period of time. Workaround: Restart the OSPFv3 process.- CSCum71861 Basic Description: The show ospf vrf xxx command output routes summary shows negative intra-area. Symptom show ospf vrf route summary command output may sometime show negative path counter value. Conditions: Router may show negative value for intra-Area path counter maintained by OSPF. Intermittently, observed this issue showing up after clearing OSPF session for VRFs. Workaround: None.
- CSCum11308 Basic Description: L2fab-DH: Satellite stuck in "probing" after changing encapsulation type. Symptom After changing the encaps type of an L2 satellite-fabric-link, the state of the interface (as displayed in show nv satellite protocol discovery) is Probing. Conditions: Changing the encapsulation type of the L2 satellite-fabric-link without shutting the interface or removing the nV ICPE configuration. Workaround: Shut down the interface (or remove the nv ICPE configuration) before changing the encapsulation type of an L2 fabric satellite-fabric-link.
- CSCum42969 Basic Description: Policy-map configured through XML has value mismatch. Symptom After configuring policy-map discard-class through XML request, user may notice mismatch in the value shown under show running-config. Conditions: Configuring policy-map discard-class using XML on a router running Cisco IOS XR Software Release 5.1.1. Workaround: Use CLI instead of XML to configure policy-map discard-class.
Caveats Specific to the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router
The following caveats are specific to the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router platform:
- CSCuj50356 Basic Description: %MGBL-IFSTATS-3-COUNTER_OVERRUN seen randomly Symptom The following Syslog message is seen as follows on the console: LC/0/0/CPU0:Jan 15 18:47:56.164 : statsd_manager_l[339]: %MGBL-IFSTATS-3-COUNTER_OVERRUN : Counter overrun for one or more deltas for interface TenGigE0/0/0/9, stats type 2, from collector pkg/bin/vic, on node 0/0/CPU0. Overrun counters: OUTPUT BYTES, example overrun value: 18446744073409243993 RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:Jan 15 18:47:56.171 : statsd_manager_g[1126]: %MGBL-IFSTATS-3-COUNTER_OVERRUN : Counter overrun for one or more deltas for interface Bundle-Ether204, stats type 2, from collector pkg/bin/vic, on node 0/0/CPU0. Overrun counters: OUTPUT BYTES, example overrun value: 18446744073409243993 RP/0/RSP1/CPU0:Jan 15 18:47:56.179 : statsd_manager_g[1126]: %MGBL-IFSTATS-3-COUNTER_OVERRUN : Counter overrun for one or more deltas for interface Bundle-Ether204, stats type 2, from collector pkg/bin/vic, on node 0/0/CPU0. Overrun counters: OUTPUT BYTES, example overrun value: 18446744073409243993 LC/0/0/CPU0:statsd_manager_l[340]: %MGBL-IFSTATS-3-COUNTER_OVERRUN : Counter overrun for one or more deltas for interface TenGigE0/0/0/21, stats type 2, from collector pkg/bin/vic, on node 0/0/CPU0. Overrun counters: INPUT BYTES, example overrun value: 18446744069430553424 Conditions: The messages appear randomly and the exact trigger/condition for the message is not known at this time. No functional impact has been observed as a result of this this message. Workaround: None. There is no impact on functionality as a result of this message.
- CSCum04770 Basic Description: ASR9000v DOM: Threshold values incorrect after router reload. Symptom The threshold values shown in show controllers output on an ICL interface are having wrong values after host router reload. Conditions: After reload of the host router that is connected to Satellite box via ICL link, sometimes the envmon process is not able to retrieve correct satellite type leading to stale threshold values being shown in the show controllers output on ICL interface. Workaround: User needs to flap (shut/no-shut) the ICL link. This will lead to re-read of satellite type data thus correcting threshold values.
- CSCum51798 Basic Description: MAC table out of sync when CE MAC is learnt from L2Fab/Ring Satellite. Symptom Source Mac address received from a satellite AC is only seen to be learnt on the NP that it is rec'd on and not on all NPs. An end user may find this MAC entry missing from the output of the show l2vpn forward command. Conditions: In VPLS bridge domain, the source MAC address of a L2 frame received from Satellite AC is learned only on one NP - the NP received the frame from wire. All other NPs/LCs in the system do not learn the MAC entry, this is the state called MAC table out of sync among NPs/LCs. Workaround: None. The problem corrects itself and does not impact traffic.
Caveats Specific to the ASR 9001 Router
- CSCts82447 Basic Description: attachCon not working. Symptom: After running attachCon, the console will not connect to Line card. The below message is seen on console:
Conditions: This feature is not supported in 4.2.3 as well and will be supported from 4.3.0 onwards. Workaround: Convert AUX port as LC console from RP KSH using the command fill –l 0xd2000198 0x4 0x80000001. To revert back to AUX port, use fill –l 0xd2000198 0x4 0x0. Recovery: None.attachCon is not supported in this release in this chassis typeUpgrading Cisco IOS XR Software
Cisco IOS XR Software is installed and activated from modular packages, allowing specific features or software patches to be installed, upgraded, or downgraded without affecting unrelated processes. Software packages can be upgraded or downgraded on all supported card types, or on a single card (node).
Software packages are installed from package installation envelope (PIE) files that contain one or more software components.

Troubleshooting
Resolving Upgrade File Issues
NoteIn some very rare cases inconsistencies in the content of the internal configuration files can appear. In such situations, to avoid configuration loss during upgrade, the following steps can be optionally done before activating packages:
- Clear the NVGEN cache:
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router# run nvgen -F 1- Create a dummy config commit:
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router# config RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config)# hostname <hostname> RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:rotuer(config)# commit RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config)# end- Force a commit update by using the reload command. Press n when the confirmation prompt appears:
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router# reload Updating Commit Database. Please wait...[OK] Proceed with reload? [confirm]- Press n
In some cases other activity may preclude a reload. The following message may display:
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router# reload Preparing system for backup. This may take a few minutes ............System configuration backup in progress [Retry later]If you receive this message wait and then retry the command after some time.
