Feature Description

BGP

Peering Between BGP Routers Within the Same Confederation

You can now enable BGP peering between routers in the sub-autonomous system (AS) within a confederation to advertise specific router updates using iBGP. This capability ensures that the mesh of routers between sub-ASes in a confederation maintains consistent routing tables, ensuring proper network reachability. Enabling this feature helps improve preventing performance reduction and traffic management challenges.

The feature introduces these changes:

CLI:

YANG Data Model

  • New XPaths for

    Cisco-IOS-XR-ipv4-bgp-cfg.yang

  • Cisco-IOS-XR-um-router-bgp-cfg

(see GitHub, YANG Data Models Navigator

Virtual Routing Forwarding Next Hop Routing Policy

You can now enable a route policy at the BGP next-hop attach point to limit notifications delivered to BGP for specific prefixes, which equips you with better control over routing decisions, and allows for precise traffic engineering and security compliance for each VRF instance, and helps establish redundant paths specific to each VRF.

The feature introduces these changes:

(see GitHub, YANG Data Models Navigator)

Segment Routing

Microloop Avoidance for IS-IS with Per-Prefix Filtering

Currently, when SR Microloop Avoidance for IS-IS is enabled, it applies to all prefixes.

This feature allows you to selectively allow or deny specific IPv4 or IPv6 prefixes or routes that may cause microloops, which allows for efficient use of hardware resources and ensures overall network stability.

This feature introduces these changes:

CLI:

YANG Data Model:

IS-IS Flexible Algorithm with Exclude Maximum Delay Constraint

This feature enables you to configure topologies that exclude links that have delays over a specific threshold. This is especially critical for high-frequency trading applications, in satellite networks, or wherever there are fluctuations in link delays.

This feature introduces these changes:

CLI:

  • The router isis instance flex-algo algo command is modified with the new maximum-delay value option.

YANG Data Model:

IS-IS Flexible Algorithm with Exclude Minimum Bandwidth Constraint

Traffic engineering in networks can be optimized by avoiding low-bandwidth links that may not be capable of handling high volumes of traffic.

This feature allows you to use Flexible Algorithm to create topologies in your network that explicitly exclude high bandwidth traffic from utilizing links below a specified capacity. This constraint is achieved by introducing a new bandwidth-based metric type within the Flexible Algorithm framework. Links that do not satisfy the constraint are ignored when computing the associated Flexible Algorithm topology.

This feature introduces these changes:

CLI:

YANG Data Model:

SRv6 ESI Filtering

Split Horizon Group (SHG) labels and Ethernet Segment Identifier (ESI) filtering functionalities exist on MPLS underlay networks.

This feature introduces ESI filtering functionality to SRv6 underlay networks, using the End.DT2M SRv6 endpoint behavior. This behavior uses the "Arg.FE2" argument for SRv6, which is similar to the SHG label for MPLS.

This feature allows nodes to identify BUM traffic based on the advertised ESI and prevent a loop by avoiding re-broadcasting the same traffic back towards the access node.

This functionality is enabled by default.

Two-Way Active Measurement Protocol Light Source Address Filtering

You can now restrict unauthorized users from sending packets to the network and prevent compromising the network security and reliability. For a destination UDP port, you can configure the list of IP addresses that can send Two-Way Active Measurement Protocol (TWAMP)-light packets to responder or querier nodes.

In earlier releases, the responder or querier node accepted TWAMP-light packets from all IP addresses.

The feature introduces these changes:

CLI:

YANG Data Models:

  • Cisco-IOS-XR-um-performance-measurement-cfg.yang

  • Cisco-IOS-XR-perf-meas-oper.yang

See (GitHub, Yang Data Models Navigator)

SR Policy Liveness Monitoring on Segment Routing over IPv6 (SRv6)

In segment routing over IPv6 (SRv6), you can now verify end-to-end traffic forwarding over an SR policy candidate path by periodically sending probe messages. Performance monitoring on an SRv6 network enables you to track and monitor traffic flows at a granular level.

Earlier releases supported SR policy liveness monitoring over an SR policy candidate path on MPLS.

SRv6 Traffic Accounting

You can now enable the router to record the number of packets and bytes transmitted on a specific egress interface for IPv6 traffic using the SRv6 locator counter.

You can use this data to create deterministic data tools to anticipate and plan for future capacity planning solutions.

This feature introduces or modifies the following changes:

CLI:

YANG Data Models:

  • Cisco-IOS-XR-accounting-cfg

  • Cisco-IOS-XR-fib-common-oper.yang

(see GitHub, YANG Data Models Navigator)

Maximum Paths Per IS-IS Flexible Algorithm Per Prefix

Previously, you could configure a maximum number of Equal-Cost Multi-path (ECMP) to be set for individual Flex Algorithms.

This feature provides additional granularity to the IS-IS Maximum Paths Per-Algorithm feature by allowing you to specify a set of prefixes for Flexible Algorithm.

Now you can achieve a balance between path diversity and computational and memory requirements by controlling the number of paths for each specific algorithm and destination prefix combination.

This feature introduces these changes:

CLI:

  • maximum-paths route-policy name

YANG Data Models:

  • This feature extends the native Cisco-IOS-XR-clns-isis-cfg.yang model

See GitHub, YANG Data Models Navigator

Modular QoS

Egress EXP bits Marking Support on Single-Label

With this feature support, you can now mark MPLS EXP bits on single-label scenario.

You can now design the QoS for your network based on either single-label or global label. If the directly connected peer router doesn’t advertise the explicit-null label, then the router encapsulates the packets with only the global label.

Previously, the router was limited to mark MPLS EXP bits with a minimum of two labels. But even with a single EXP marking, you can prioritize certain types of traffic over others based on their importance.

Burst Size for Port-Level Shaper

Introduced in this release on:

You can now achieve a predictable and accurate burst size at the link level by configuring port-level shaper burst size, thus ensuring better adherence to traffic SLAs. Also, with the port-level shaper burst size configured in the egress policy maps, the predictability in peak burst ensures that you can configure any next-hop low-capacity device to handle these bursts.

Previously, you could configure burst sizes, which impacted traffic flow only at the Virtual Output Queue (VOQ) level but didn’t control packet transmission at the link level.

View Packet Processing and Traffic Management Resources

You can now view the utilization of some packet processing and traffic management resources, such as policer banks and connectors. Insights into their consumption and availability help you prevent or mitigate an Out of Resource (OOR) situation, thus ensuring optimal QoS operations with minimal impact on network performance.

The feature introduces the following changes:

CLI:

show controllers npu resources qos

YANG:

  • Cisco-IOS-XR-fretta-bcm-dpa-qos-resources-oper

  • Cisco-IOS-XR-5500-qos-oper

  • Cisco-IOS-XR-fretta-bcm-dpa-qos-rate-profile-resources-oper

  • Cisco-IOS-XR-fretta-bcm-dpa-qos-egq-resources-oper

(see GitHub, YANG Data Models Navigator)

Multicast

EVPN All-Active Multi-homed Multicast Source Behind a BVI

We have enhanced multicast routing efficiency, load balancing, and latency in EVPN topology by optimizing redundancy and enabling support for All-Active (AA) multicast multi-homed sources. The multi-homed multicast data sources are located behind a Bridge-Group Virtual Interface (BVI), while multicast receivers can be in either the core or a bridge domain.

This feature introduces the following changes:

Programmability

Automatic Resynchronization of OpenConfig Configuration

OpenConfig infrastructure can now reapply all the OpenConfig configurations automatically if there are any discrepancies in the running configuration.

With this feature, there is no need for manual replacement of the OpenConfig configuration using Netconf or gNMI.

The re-sync operation is triggered if the running configurations and the OpenConfig configuration go out of sync after any system event that removes some running configurations from the system. A corresponding system log gets generated to indicate the re-sync status.

YANG Data Models Introduced and Enhanced

This release introduces or enhances the following data models. For detailed information about the supported and unsupported sensor paths of all the data models, see the Github repository. To get a comprehensive list of the data models supported in a release, navigate to the Available-Content.md file for the release in the Github repository. The unsupported sensor paths are documented as deviations. For example, openconfig-acl.yangprovides details about the supported sensor paths, whereas cisco-xr-openconfig-acl-deviations.yang provides the unsupported sensor paths for openconfig-acl.yang on Cisco IOS XR routers.

You can also view the data model definitions using the YANG Data Models Navigator tool. This GUI-based and easy-to-use tool helps you explore the nuances of the data model and view the dependencies between various containers in the model. You can view the list of models supported across Cisco IOS XR releases and platforms, locate a specific model, view the containers and their respective lists, leaves, and leaf lists presented visually in a tree structure.

To get started with using data models, see the Programmability Configuration Guide for Cisco NCS 560 Series Routers.

Feature Description

Programmability

openconfig-system.yang Version 0.13.1

This OpenConfig data model is revised from version 0.6.0 to 0.13.1. There are no functional changes between these two versions.

openconfig-vlan.yang Version 3.2.2

This OpenConfig data model is revised from version 3.2.0 to 3.2.2. There are no functional changes between these two versions.

openconfig-mpls-static.yang Version 3.3.0

The OpenConfig data model is revised from version 3.2.2 to 3.3.0. There are no functional changes between these two versions.

openconfig-lldp.yang

This OpenConfig data model supports streaming model-driven telemetry (MDT) data for the leaves deviated in the previous releases.

You can stream cadence-driven telemetry data for the following nodes:

  • Retrieve the counters cleared and the number number of valid TLVs received using last-clear and tlv-accepted leaves

  • Gather data about LLDP interface counters using frame-in, frame-out, frame-error-in, frame-discard, tlv-discard, tlv-unknown, last-clear, and frame-error-out leaves

  • Stream operational state data for LLDP neighbors using age and last-update leaves

You can stream event-driven telemetry (EDT) data for system-name, system-description, chassis-id, and chassis-id-type leaves.

openconfig-spanning-tree.yang Version 0.3.1

This release introduces support for this OpenConfig data model to define the configuration and operational state data for Spanning Tree Protocol (STP). The protocol creates a spanning tree that can span all routers in the network, it then disables the links that are not part of the spanning tree, leaving a single active path between any two network nodes. Using this data model, you can configure STP for a loop free topology within Ethernet networks, allowing redundancy within the network to deal with link failures.

Note

 

The following limitations apply when using this data model:

  • Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP), which is an evolution of the original STP that provides faster convergence after a topology change, is not supported in IOS XR and is not configurable using the data model

  • Streaming telemetry data for the operational state of nodes is not supported

  • Instances of Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP), which creates multiple spanning tree instances for each VLAN is configured using mst-id node. Configuring this node with value 0 is not supported

openconfig-spanning-tree-types.yang Version 0.4.1

This release introduces support for this OpenConfig data model to define the types related to the openconfig-spanning-tree.yang model. This data model provides a way to consistently manage STP on the devices to increase network reliability and performance by preventing network loops.

Cisco-IOS-XR-um-performance-measurement-cfg.yang

This unified data model is enhanced as follows:

  • New containers allow-querier and allow-responder, to configure the list of IP addresses that can send TWAMP-light packets to responder or querier nodes.

  • A new container, flow-label, to monitor the liveness of multiple paths for a given segment list.

Cisco-IOS-XR-perf-meas-oper.yang

This native data model is enhanced as follows:

  • New containers, allowed-responder-summary and allowed-querier-summary, to configure the list of IP addresses that can send TWAMP-light packets to responder or querier nodes.

  • New container, usid-info, and new leaves such as sid-value, usid-length, sid-format, and sid-behavior in the PM-USID-INFO grouping, to monitor the liveness of a SRv6 candidate path.

Cisco-IOS-XR-infra-xtc-agent-cfg.yang

This native data model is enhanced with a new leaf, minimum-active-segment-lists, to configure the minimum number of active segment lists associated with the candidate path.

Hardware Introduced


Note


Before you install the Cisco router, you must prepare your site for the installation, for more details on site planning and environmental requirements, see Hardware Installation Guide.


There are no new hardware features introduced in this release.

Behavior Changes

  • Prior to Cisco IOS XR Release 7.2.1, a segment of an explicit segment list can be configured as an IPv4 address (representing a Node or a Link) using the index indexaddress ipv4 address command.

    Starting with Cisco IOS XR Release 7.2.1, an IPv4-based segment (representing a Node or a Link) can also be configured with the new index index mpls adjacencyaddress command. The configuration is stored in NVRAM in the same CLI format used to create it. There is no conversion from the old CLI to the new CLI.

    Starting with Cisco IOS XR Release 7.9.1, the old CLI has been deprecated. Old configurations stored in NVRAM will be rejected at boot-up.

    As a result, explicit segment lists with IPv4-based segments using the old CLI must be re-configured using the new CLI.

    There are no CLI changes for segments configured as MPLS labels using the index index mpls label label command.

  • If you are on a release before Cisco IOS XR Release 7.4.1, you can configure SR-ODN with Flexible Algorithm constraints using the segment-routing traffic-eng on-demand color color dynamic sid-algorithm algorithm-number command.

    Starting with Cisco IOS XR Release 7.4.1, you can also configure SR-ODN with Flexible Algorithm constraints using the new segment-routing traffic-eng on-demand color color constraints segments sid-algorithm algorithm-number command.

    From Cisco IOS XR Release 7.9.1, the segment-routing traffic-eng on-demand color color dynamic sid-algorithm algorithm-number command is deprecated. Previous configurations stored in NVRAM will be rejected at boot-up. (Performing In-Service Software Upgrade (ISSU) to Cisco IOS XR Release 7.9.1 will also be rejected.)

    Hence, for Cisco IOS XR Release 7.9.1, you must reconfigure all SR-ODN configurations with Flexible Algorithm constraints that use the on-demand dynamic sid-algorithm with the on-demand constraints command.

Restrictions and Limitations

  • The standby RP may get into 'NOT READY' state intermittently due to some network churn, though the corresponding VM is up and running. But this is a transient state and shows that some data aren’t in sync between active and standby due to the network churn. After both active and standby are in sync with respect to all the parameters, then the standby RP comes into 'READY' state.
