What's New in Cisco IOS XR Release 7.5.1
The following features are supported on N540-ACC-SYS, N540X-ACC-SYS, and N540-24Z8Q2C-SYS variants.
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
|
System Security |
|
|
This feature enables trust and security in the system’s steady state by encrypting data at the disk level. The encrypted data can be accessed only with a specific key stored in the TAm. |
|
The following features are supported on all the NCS 540 variants.
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
|
Modular QoS |
|
|
Prioritization of IS-IS and ARP Packets to Manage Transit Traffic |
This feature gives you the option to assign the highest priority to Integrated Intermediate System-to-Intermediate System (IS-IS) and Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) packets in transit. This feature is disabled by default. The feature provides more flexibility in transit traffic management on a per-hop basis and also fine-tunes the traffic profile management for transit traffic. This feature introduces the hw-module profile qos arp-isis-priority-enable command. |
|
Layer 2 Ingress QoS Matching for IPv4 and IPv6 Destination Addresses |
Using this feature, you can match class maps to IPv4 and IPv6 destination addresses on Layer 2 networks. The Layer 2 interface service policy has the relevant class maps, actioning them for ingress QoS operations. This feature provides you with an additional level of classification for aggregated customer traffic at your ingress, thus giving you granular control on traffic flows. This feature introduces the following commands: |
|
This feature enables you to configure 2 class maps per QoS policy. With a smaller class-map size supported, you can now apply QoS policies to more interfaces, thus increasing the scale numbers. This feature introduces the class-map-size 2 hw-module command. |
|
|
Telemetry |
|
|
This feature streams telemetry data about generic counters from the data producer using the telemetry push library. The data
producer (statsd) registers the sensor path using This feature introduces support for the following sensor path: |
|
|
Programmability |
|
|
gRPC Server on UNIX Sockets |
This feature allows local containers on the router to establish gRPC connections over UNIX domain sockets. These sockets provide better inter-process communication eliminating the need to manage passwords for local communications. This feature introduces the grpc local-connection command. |
|
Multicast |
|
|
This feature gives you the flexibility to customize the metrics that IGP uses to route traffic for MLDP tunnels. With this feature, your router can generate two multicast streams for the same feed, thus ensuring low latency and high availability of multicast traffic. This feature introduces the flex-algo keyword. |
|
|
This feature uses RSVP-TE to establish MPLS transport LSPs through traffic engineering and securely transmits multicast traffic between the PE routers in a MPLS network. |
|
|
Application Hosting |
|
|
From this release onwards, the Docker daemon service starts on a router only if you configure a third-party hosting application using the appmgr command. Such an on-demand service optimizes operating system resources such as CPU, memory, and power. In earlier releases, the Docker daemon service automatically started during the router boot up. |
|
|
Check Integrity of Golden ISO (GISO) Files |
This feature provides an option to verify the integrity of files in GISO using md5sum value. This hexadecimal value is used
to compare the source files against the same set of files after building the GISO image. The md5sum values are stored in |
|
L2VPN |
|
|
For Traffic Engineering, VPLS traffic can be sent using MPLS-TE with RSVP or SR-TE. Resource Reservation Protocol (RSVP) is a signaling protocol that enables systems to request resource reservations from the network. MPLS Traffic Engineering (MPLS-TE) learns the topology and resources available in a network and then maps traffic flows to particular paths, based on resource requirements and network resources such as bandwidth. MPLS-TE uses RSVP to signal LSPs. Segment routing for traffic engineering (SR-TE) uses a “policy” to steer traffic through the network. |
|
|
Netflow |
|
|
Sampled flow (sFlow) allows you to monitor real-time traffic in data networks that contain switches and routers. It uses the sampling mechanism in the sFlow agent software on routers to monitor traffic and to forward the sample data to the central data collector. sFlow uses version 5 export format to forward sampled data. |
|
|
System Setup and Software Installation |
|
|
You can determine whether a software version can be upgraded or downgraded to another version using this functionality. Before an actual upgrade or downgrade process, you can also view the hardware or software limitations that could cause the upgrade or downgrade to fail. This feature helps you plan successful software upgrades or downgrades. This feature introduces the show install upgrade-matrix command. |
|
|
Network Synchronization |
|
|
PTP Virtual Support |
To make a reliable timing source available for devices in backhaul networks, the PTP server and other local timing sources connected to the device are compared, and the best clock source is selected and advertised. Based on ITU-T G.8275 specification, this feature associates a virtual PTP port to an external clock input. The external clock inputs to participate in PTP protocol to select the best available source for the system. Please contact your cisco account representative for more information on supported hardware PIDs. |
|
Interfaces and Hardware |
|
|
This feature enables high availability between two bridged interfaces by disabling both interfaces if any one of them fails. This functionality allows a fault detected on one side of a CFM-protected network to propagate to the other side, enabling the device to re-route around the failure at that end. In earlier releases, a failure on one bridged interface did not disable the other interface, and connected devices remained unaware of the link loss. |
|
The following feature is supported on N540X-16Z4G8Q2C-A/D variants.
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
|
System Security |
|
|
MACSec for NCS 540 |
Support for this feature is now extended to additional Cisco NCS 540 router variants. |
The following features are supported on N540-ACC-SYS, N540X-ACC-SYS, N540-24Z8Q2C-SYS, N540-28Z4C-SYS-A/D, N540X-16Z4G8Q2C-A/D, N540-12Z20G-SYS-A/D, and N540X-12Z16G-SYS-A/D variants.
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
|
L2VPN |
|
|
he EVPN E-Tree Per-PE feature enables you to configure EVPN E-TREE using etree leaf label under the bridge-domain or EVI. This feature allows you to define communication between the leaf and root nodes. The provider edge (PE) nodes can receive L2 traffic either from the attachment circuit (AC) of a bridge domain (BD) or from the remote PE node. For a given BD or EVI, L2 communication can only happen from root to leaf and leaf to root. This feature does not allow any L2 communication between the ACs of two or more leafs. |
|
|
System Security |
|
|
This feature allows locally authenticated users—authenticated by the AAA server internal to the router—to run all XR VM commands even if a remote TACACS+ AAA server is not reachable for authorization. It prevents a complete router lockdown. The feature also prevents remotely authenticated users—authenticated using a remote AAA server (say, TACACS+ server)—from running any non-permitted commands on the router, and thus prevents misuse of user privileges. This feature modifies the aaa authorization commands default command to include the local option for XR VM command authorization. |
|
The following features are supported on N540-ACC-SYS, N540X-ACC-SYS, N540-24Z8Q2C-SYS, N540-28Z4C-SYS-A/D, N540X-16Z4G8Q2C-A/D, N540-12Z20G-SYS-A/D, and N540X-12Z16G-SYS-A/D variants.
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
|
Interfaces and Hardware |
|
|
This release enhances the two-way delay measurement feature from 100 to 1500 pps of Delay Measurement Message (DMM) sessions and 1500 pps of Synthetic Loss Measurement (SLM) sessions. Such enhanced measurement helps you monitor more services on your network. It also helps you monitor SLAs more effectively. |
|
The following features are supported on N540-ACC-SYS, N540X-ACC-SYS, N540-24Z8Q2C-SYS, N540-28Z4C-SYS-A/D, N540X-16Z4G8Q2C-A/D, N540-12Z20G-SYS-A/D, and N540X-12Z16G-SYS-A/D variants.
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
|
Segment Routing |
|
|
With this feature, support for a single PCE is enhanced to 50000 nodes, 100000 LSPs, 500000 links and 2000 PCEP sessions. |
|
|
This feature extends the current OSPF Flexible Algorithm functionality to support Flex-Algo Prefix Metric. This feature introduces a Flexible Algorithm-specific prefix-metric in the OSPF prefix advertisement. The prefix-metric provides a way to compute the best end-to-end Flexible Algorithm optimized paths across multiple areas or domains. |
|
|
The SR-PCE provides a north-bound HTTP-based API to allow communication between SR-PCE and external clients and applications. The Cisco Crosswork Optimization Engine is an application that leverages the SR-PCE. This release adds support for the following:
|
|
|
This feature allows the Flexible Algorithm definition to specify Shared Risk Link Groups (SRLGs) that the operator wants to exclude during the Flex-Algorithm path computation. This allows the setup of disjoint paths between two or more Flex Algos by leveraging deployed SRLG configurations. |
|
|
This feature adds support for importing routes from default-VRF to non-default VRF and routes from non-default VRF to default VRF. |
|
|
This feature introduces support for iBGP as PE-CE protocol. |
|
|
This feature provides the ability to assign a specific SRv6 locator for a given set of prefixes (IPv4/IPv6 GRT, IPv4/IPv6 VPN). The egress PE advertises prefixes with the locator associated with the desired behavior, such as Flex Algo. |
|
|
Multicast |
|
|
Using this feature, you can configure a multicast router interface to override the configuration specified in the local VRF table. When an IGMP client sends a join message to the multicast router, it performs a Reverse-path Forwarding (RPF) lookup for the IGMP join in the local VRF table. If the local VRF table does not have the information, the feature extends the lookup to the default (global) VRF table. This ensures that the interface in a specific VRF table is part of the outgoing list of interfaces in the global routing table for a multicast route. |
|
|
System Security |
|
|
This feature prevents service-providers from activating Lawful Intercept (LI) on their routers until the network vendor provides consent with a consent token. This feature is in compliance with the latest ANSSI (Agence nationale de la sécurité des systèmes d'information) security standards. Prior to this release, there was no gating for the LI feature on service-provider routers. The associated command is: |

 Note |
Quad configurations will be lost when you perform a software downgrade on Cisco NCS 540 Routers that support quad configurations from IOS XR Release 7.5.1 onwards to a release prior to IOS XR Release 7.5.1 due to a non-backward compatibility change. The lost configuration can be applied manually after the downgrade. |
Use user-class Option 'xr-config' Instead Of 'exr-config' To Provision ZTP
In Cisco IOS XR Release 7.3.1 and earlier, the system accepts the device sending user-class = "exr-config"; however starting Cisco IOS XR Release 7.3.2 and later, you must use only user-class = "xr-config".
In Cisco IOS XR Release 7.3.2 and later, use:
host cisco-rp0 {
hardware ethernet e4:c7:22:be:10:ba;
fixed-address 172.30.12.54;
if exists user-class and option user-class = "iPXE" {
filename = "http://172.30.0.22/boot.ipxe";
} elsif exists user-class and option user-class = "xr-config" {
filename = "http://172.30.0.22/scripts/cisco-rp0_ztp.sh";
}
