Software Features Enhanced and Introduced

To learn about features introduced in other Cisco IOS XR releases, select the release from the Documentation Landing Page.

The following features are supported on all the NCS 540 router variants.

Feature Description

Segment Routing

SRv6 Services: Services with Remote SIDs from W-LIB

This feature enables an SRv6 headend node to receive and install remote SIDs with Wide (32-bit) functions (Remote W-LIB).

The Remote W-LIB is supported for Layer 3 (VPN/BGP global) and Layer 2 EVPN services (ELINE/ELAN).

This capability is enabled by default.

SR-TE Explicit Segment Lists with Mix of IPv4 and IPv6 Segments

Explicit segment list can be configured to include IPv6 segments, for example IPv6 adjacency SIDs or IPv6 EPE SIDs.

This feature enables use-cases such as Centralized BGP EPE for 6PE in an SR-MPLS Network.

SR-TE Automated Steering Without Service Label

This feature allows traffic to a BGP service route to be steered over an SR-TE policy using the AS principles, and without imposing the service route’s prefix label.

This feature enables use-cases such as centralized BGP EPE for 6PE in an SR-MPLS network.

This feature introduces the following command:

  • bgp prefix-path-label ignore

IS-IS: Flexible Algorithm Reverse Affinity

This feature enhances the IS-IS Flexible Algorithm link admin group (affinity) constraint to include link colors on links in the reverse direction toward the calculating router.

The ability to apply affinity constraints in the reverse direction provides additional control for IS-IS Flexible Algorithm path computation.

Interface and Hardware Component

Transmission of VLAN-Tagged LLDP Packets

With this release, transmitting (Tx) VLAN-tagged LLDP packets on the subinterface is supported.

This feature helps to identify unauthorized devices on the network and discover VLANs configured on the network devices.

Use the following commands to enable transmitting tagged LLDP packets globally or on each subinterface:

Two-pass Forwarding over BVI

Two-pass forwarding of packets is supported over BVI.

In two-pass forwarding model, each packet goes through two ingress and egress processing before reaching the destination.

This model helps in implementing additional layer 3 features in BVI interfaces.

L2VPN and Ethernet Services

Call Admission Control for L2VPN P2P Services over Circuit-Style SR-TE Policies

This feature allows you to configure guaranteed bandwidth for Layer 2 P2P services steered over Circuit-Style SR-TE policies.

This ensures that a Circuit-Style SR-TE policy has sufficient bandwidth to accommodate a Layer 2 P2P service while preventing a Layer 2 P2P service from being steered over a Circuit-Style SR-TE policy when there is insufficient available bandwidth.

L2PT Support for Layer 2 Control Protocols

This feature provides Layer 2 Protocol Tunneling (L2PT) support for the following extended protocols:

  • Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP)

  • Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP)

  • Operation, Administration, Management (OAM)

  • Ethernet Local Management Interface (ELMI)

  • EtherChannel Port Aggregation Protocol (PAgP)

  • Unidirectional Link Detection (UDLD)

  • Multiple MAC Registration Protocol (MMRP)

  • Multiple VLAN Registration Protocol (MVRP)

Previously only CPSV (C-CDP, P-PVRST, S-STP, V -VTP) protocol set was supported for L2PT. Now with the extended protocol support, all the Layer 2 Control Protocols (L2CP) are supported with L2PT. This allows different network devices to communicate with each other, with high data security for critical applications.

This feature introduces the hw-module profile l2pt ext-protocols-enable command. You must reload the router to activate the command.

Modular QoS

Additional Routers Supported for ACL with Fragment Match

You can prevent malicious users from staging denial of service (DoS) attacks for non-initial IP by configuring an ACL with fragment match and specifying QoS match actions to rate-limit non-initial fragments for IPv4 traffic.

System Management

Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) MIBs Traps support

Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) is the satellite system which is used as a timing interface. GNSS receiver picks up signals from this satellite system to recalculate position, velocity and local time to high precision.

From this release, you can track GNSS module antenna OC alarm status, status of the GNSS satellite visibility (good or bad), and specify the lock status of GNSS module.

This release adds the support for the traps:

  • ciscoGnssAntennaOCAlarmStatus

  • ciscoGnssSatelliteVisibilityStatus

  • ciscoGnssModuleLockStatus

Routing

Limiting LSA numbers in a OSPF Link-State Database

The nonself-generated link-state advertisements (LSAs) for a given Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) process is limited to 500000. This protection mechanism prevents routers from receiving many LSAs, preventing CPU failure and memory shortages, and is enabled by default from this release onwards. If you have over 500000 LSAs in your network, configure the max-lsacommand with the expected LSA scale before upgrading to this release or later

This feature modifies the following commands:

Limiting the Maximum Redistributed Type-3 LSA Prefixes in OSPF

By default, the maximum redistributed Type-3 LSA prefixes for a given OSPF process is now limited to 100000. This mechanism prevents OSPF from redistributing a large number of prefixes as Type-3 LSAs and therefore preventing high CPU utilization and memory shortages.

Once the number of redistributed prefixes is reached or exceeds the threshold value, the system log message is generated, and no more prefixes are redistributed.

Programmability

Cisco-IOS-XR-um-mpls-static-cfg.yang

This Unified data model enables you to configure Label Switched Paths (LSPs) with statically assigned ingress labels that are mapped to prefixes or VRFs and egress paths explicitly defined or mapped to next hops. With this release, you can use the data model to disable the default route to resolve issues with the next hop information.

We recommend that you use the data model according to the CLI hierarchy.

System Security

Secure Key Integration Protocol for Routers

Your routers are now capable of handling the Secure Key Integration Protocol (SKIP) protocol. The SKIP protocol enables your routers to communicate with external quantum devices. With this ability, you can use the Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) devices for exchanging MACsec encryption keys between routers. Using QKD eliminates the key distribution problem in a post quantum world where the current cryptographic systems are no longer secure due to the advent of quantum computers.

This feature introduces the following:

For more information on Quantum Key Distribution, see Post Quantum Security Brief.

The following feature is supported only on N540-24Q8L2DD-SYS router variant.

Feature Description

System Security

IEEE 802.1X Port-Based Authentication Support for Multiple Authentication and Multiple Host Modes

The IEEE 802.1X port-based authentication allows only authorized supplicants to access the network. The IEEE 802.1X port-based authentication now supports multiple authentication and multiple host modes to allow multiple hosts or MAC addresses on a single port.

Applicable to Cisco N540-24Q8L2DD-SYS router variant.

The following feature is supported on all the NCS 540 variants, but not supported on N540-ACC-SYS, N540X-ACC-SYS, and N540-24Z8Q2C-SYS variants.

Feature Feature

Programmability

Cisco-IOS-XR-remote-attestation -agent-oper.yang

This Cisco native data model defines the remote attestation of the routers' security posture to assess the trustworthiness of hardware and software on the router.

With this release, you can use the data model to send gNMI requests to retrieve the system integrity information such as secure boot status, Attestation Identity Key (AIK), and Secure Unique Device Identifier (SUDI) certificates.

gNMI support is introduced for the show platform security attest certificate command.

The following feature is supported only on N540-28Z4C-SYS-A/D and N540-6Z14S-SYS-D router variants.

Feature Description

Time Division Multiplexing (TDM)

TDM2IP Smart SFP Optics is supported on N540-28Z4C-SYS-A/D and N540-6Z14S-SYS-D router variants

TDM2IP Smart SFP Optics is supported on N540-28Z4C-SYS-A/D and N540-6Z14S-SYS-D router variants.

The TPoP and CSoP Smart SFPs enable operators to migrate and integrate their TDM based transport network onto a single technology packet network for both data and TDM transport, which helps to streamline operations and to reduce operational expenditures.

The following feature is supported on N540-ACC-SYS, N540X-ACC-SYS, and N540-24Z8Q2C-SYS variants.

Feature Description

System Security

Securely retrieve dynamic NACM with LDAP over TLS authentication

You can now securely retrieve the NETCONF Access Control Model (NACM) policies or rules from a remote Lightweight DirectoryAccess Protocol (LDAP) server using Transport Layer Security (TLS) authentication. With TLS authentication, the communication between the router and the LDAP server is encrypted for security.

Before this release, the communication between the LDAP server and the router was not secured.

The following feature is supported on N540-6Z18G-SYS-A/D router variants.

Feature Feature

System Management

Support for Flexible Consumption Model on N540-6Z18G-SYS-A/D

The Flexible Consumption Model (FCM) provides the capability and flexibility to purchase software capacity as needed. FCM delivers the carrier-class IOS-XR software feature set with two software suites, Essentials and Advantage, that simplifies license management.

Support for FCM is now extended to the following Cisco NCS 540 variant:

  • N540-6Z18G-SYS-A/D

Hardware Introduced

The following new optics is supported only on N540-24Q8L2DD-SYS router variant.

Hardware

Description

Optics

This release launches Coherent 100GE transceiver optics on selective hardware within the product portfolio. For details and other new supported transceivers refer to the Transceiver Module Group (TMG) Compatibility Matrix.

  • Cisco Quad Small Form-Factor Pluggable Double Density (QSFP-DD)

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.

    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 on the Cisco NCS 540 Series Router

  • Fabric multicast queue stats are not supported in N540X-8Z16G-SYS-A/D, N540X-6Z18G-SYS-A/D, N540-6Z14S-SYS-D, N540-6Z18G-SYS-A/D, and N540X-4Z14G2Q-A/D variants.

  • Unlabeled BGP PIC EDGE for global prefixes is not supported.

  • The interface ports 0/0/0/24 to 0/0/0/31 do not support 1G Copper SFPs on N540-24Z8Q2C-SYS, N540-ACC-SYS, and N540X-ACC-SYS variants. Also, these ports do not support Auto-Negotiation with 1GE optical SFPs and they cannot act as 1GE Synchronous Ethernet sources.

  • The interface ports 0/0/0/20 to 0/0/0/27 do not support 1G Copper SFPs on N540X-16Z4G8Q2C-A, N540X-16Z8Q2C-D, and N540X-16Z4G8Q2C-D variants. Also, these ports do not support Auto-Negotiation with 1GE optical SFPs and they cannot act as 1GE Synchronous Ethernet sources.

  • Remove the speed settings on the 1G Copper optics when 10M/100M is configured and replaced with 1G SFP optics.

  • The hw-module profile mfib statistics command is not supported.

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.


Production Software Maintenance Updates (SMUs)

A production SMU is a SMU that is formally requested, developed, tested, and released. Production SMUs are intended for use in a live network environment and are formally supported by the Cisco TAC and the relevant development teams. Software bugs identified through software recommendations or Bug Search Tools are not a basis for production SMU requests.

For information on production SMU types, refer the Production SMU Types section of the IOS XR Software Maintenance Updates (SMUs) guide.
