Cisco Catalyst IR1101 Rugged Series Router
The Cisco Catalyst IR1101 Rugged Series Router is a next-generation modular industrial router, which has a base platform with additional pluggable modules that can be added. The pluggable modules provide the flexibility of adding different interfaces to the IR1101 platform, for example, a cellular module, which provides Fourth-Generation Long-Term Evolution (4G LTE) cellular networks and Third-Generation (3G) cellular networks.
The IR1101 also has an expansion module that adds key capabilities to the IR1101, such as mSATA SSD FRU, Ethernet SFP port, and digital GPIO connections. The expansion module also makes the IR1101 dual LTE capable, with one LTE module in the base and the other LTE module in the expansion module.
Note |
The IR-1100-SP expansion module is the same as the IR-1100-SPMI module, without the digital I/O and mSATA components. |

Major Enhancements in IR8140
Support for Online Insertion and Removal of the BBU Module
IR8140H supports up to three Battery Backup Units (BBUs) to allow the system to continue running during power outages. From Release 17.7.1, BBUs can be added or removed while the system is running, and get initialized properly. Syslog messages and SNMP traps are generated when a new BBU is inserted or a BBU is removed.
Support for Deployment of Dual WPAN Modules, with Proper Selection of Antennas and Cables
IR8140H has three Universal Interface Module (UIM) slots. In releases earlier than Release 17.7.1, only a single WPAN module was supported, and it had to be installed in slot 1. Slot 2 and slot 3 could support only LTE modules. In Release 17.7.1, IR8140H can have two WPAN modules installed at the same time. One WPAN module should be installed in slot 1, and the other in slot 2 or slot 3.
A WPAN module is associated with a corresponding WPAN interface. When two WPAN modules are installed, two WPAN interfaces are independent, and high availability (HA) is not supported between the two modules. Two interfaces should be configured with different PAN IDs and different IPv6 prefixes, while they can be configured with either the same SSID or different SSIDs.
For increased antenna isolation and better WPAN and LTE performance, follow the instructions in the Cisco Catalyst IR8140 Heavy Duty Router Installation Guide for guidance on WPAN and LTE module installation and antenna selection.
Major Enhancements in IR8340
No enhancements have been listed.
Note |
Cisco IOS XE 17.7.1 is the initial release for the IR8340. |
Major Enhancements in ESR6300
LTE Modem Support
Cisco IOS-XE Release 17.7.1 adds support for LTE modules on the ESR6300 platform in slot 3. The related interface is Cellular 0/3/0.
Note |
The systems integrator or partner must have designed a slot in its finished product in order to support the LTE module. |
ESR6300 supports only the following LTE modules:
-
P-LTE-MNA (WP7610 modem)
-
P-LTEA-LA (EM7430 modem)
-
P-LTEA-EA (EM7455 modem)
-

You cannot use a factory-installed trust code to communicate with CSSM. |
Support for trust code in additional topologies
A trust code is automatically obtained in topologies where the product instance initiates the sending of data to Cisco Smart License Utility (CSLU) and in topologies where the product instance is in an air-gapped network.
If a trust code is not available on the product instance, the product instance detects and automatically includes a request for one, as part of the RUM report. The ACK from CSSM includes the trust code.
Ability to save authorization code request and return in a file and simpler upload in the CSSM WebUI
If a product instance is in an air-gapped network, you can now save a SLAC request in a file on the product instance by configuring the license smart authorization request {add|replace} feature_name {all|local} , followed by the license smart authorization request save [path] commands.
The SLAC request file must be uploaded to the CSSM Web UI. You can then download the file containing the SLAC code and install it on the product instance. You can also upload a return request file in a similar manner. With this new method you do not have to gather and enter the required details on the CSSM Web UI to generate a SLAC. You also do not have to locate the product instance in the CSSM Web UI to return an authorization code.
In the CSSM Web UI, you must upload the SLAC request or return file in the same way as you upload a RUM report. In the required Smart Account, navigate to Reports → Usage Data Files .
RUM Report optimization and availability of statistics
RUM report generation and related processes have been optimized. This includes a reduction in the time it takes to process RUM reports, better memory and disk space utilization, and visibility into the RUM reports on the product instance (how many there are, the processing state each one is in, if there are errors in any of them, and so on).
The new show license rum privileged EXEC command displays information about Resource Utilization Measurement reports (RUM report) available on the product instance, including report IDs, the current processing state of a report, error information (if any), and to save the detailed or summarized view that is displayed.
The output of the show license tech and show license all commands were enhanced to display RUM report information.
Support to collect software version in a RUM report
If version privacy is disabled (no license smart privacy version global configuration command), the Cisco IOS-XE software version running on the product instance and the Smart Agent version is included in the RUM report.
Account information included in the ACK and show command outputs
A RUM report acknowledgement (ACK) includes the Smart Account and Virtual Account that was reported to, in CSSM. Once the ACK is installed on the product instance, you can display account information in the show license summary, show license status, show license all and show license tech commands. The account information that is displayed is always as per the latest available ACK on the product instance.
CSLU support for Linux
CSLU can now be deployed on a machine (laptop or desktop) running Linux.

Known Limitations
Smart Licensing Using Policy
Starting with Cisco IOS XE 17.6.1, with the introduction of Smart Licensing Using Policy, even if you configure a hostname for a product instance or device, only the Unique Device Identifier (UDI) is displayed. This change in the display can be observed in all licensing utilities and user interfaces where the hostname was displayed in earlier releases. It does not affect any licensing functionality. There is no workaround for this limitation.
The licensing utilities and user interfaces that are affected by this limitation include only the following: Cisco Smart Software Manager (CSSM), Cisco Smart License Utility (CSLU), and Smart Software Manager On-Prem (SSM On-Prem).
IOx on the ESR6300
Note |
IOx development is not supported on the ESR6300. While this is platform independent code, it is unsupported and untested on this device. |
Standalone MAC Authentication Bypass (MAB) Limitation
Standalone MAC Authentication Bypass (MAB) is an authentication method that grants network access to specific MAC addresses regardless of 802.1X capability or credentials.
There are two defects associated with this functionality, CSCwa33567 and CSCwb23372.

dACL and device-tracking features are not supported on the IR1101 and ESR6300 due to a hardware limitation. dACL is supported on the IR1800 series. Therefore, features such as MAB and Dot1x should not be used with the optional dACL/device-tracking enabled. |

Hardware limitation, no software fix available. |
