Prerequisites for ISSU MPLS Clients

Before you perform an upgrade, you need to verify that the clients you are concerned about are compatible with the intended switchover. Use the commands listed in the Verifying the ISSU Process for an MPLS Client to determine compatibility.

The success performance of some clients in the upgraded network will depend upon their compatibility with other clients as described in the table below.

Table 1. MPLS Client Interdependencies
This client . . .	...can only work when this client is shown to be compatible

TE	Base clients: Checkpointing and Redundancy Facility MPLS TE High Availability

Information About ISSU MPLS Clients

Before examining ISSU coordination of MPLS clients, you should understand the following concepts:

This section provides information about upgrading MPLS-related applications through ISSU. Those MPLS applications are considered ISSU’s MPLS “clients.”

For more information on the ISSU procedure, see Cisco IOS XE In Service Software Upgrade Process document and see the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers Software Configuration Guide .

ISSU-Capable Protocols and Applications Clients

Protocols and applications that can be upgraded through the ISSU process are considered clients of ISSU. These include at least the following:

Address Resolution Protocol (ARP)
Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM)
Cisco Express Forwarding
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
EtherChannel--port aggregration protocol (PagP) and Link Aggregration Control Protocol (LACP)
Frame Relay (FR)
Gateway Load Balancing Protocol (GLBP)
High-Level Data Link Control (HDLC)
Hot Standby Router Protocol (HSRP)
IEEE 802.1x and 802.3af
Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) snooping
IP host
Intermediate System-to-Intermediate System (IS-IS)
Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS)
PPP and Multilink PPP
Port security
Quality of service (QoS)
Remote File System (RFS) versioning
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
Spanning Tree Protocol (STP)

Note

For a complete list of ISSU- compliant protocols and applications that are supported for the Cisco ASR Series Routers for your release, see the Release Notes for Cisco ASR Series Aggregation Services Routers .

ISSU-Capable MPLS Feature Sets

Within the MPLS technology, ISSU supports the following feature sets as clients:

Label Distribution Protocol (LDP)
MPLS Virtual Private Network (MPLS VPN)
VPN routing and forwarding (VRF), also called the “Table ID” client
Label Switching Database Label Manager for high availability, usually called “LSD Label Manager for HA”
MPLS Forwarding Infrastructure Pull, called “MFI Pull”
MPLS Forwarding Infrastructure Push, called “MFI Push”
Label Switched Path Verification Push within Operation, Administration, and Management (OAM), called “LSPV Push”
TE

How to Verify that an MPLS Client Can Support an In Service Software Upgrade

Note

For the complete task sequence that accomplishes ISSU see the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers Software Configuration Guide .

Verifying the ISSU Process for an MPLS Client

Perform this task to verify that a particular MPLS client can be upgraded successfully during a particular ISSU session. The commands in this task also can be used to display other details about the ISSU MPLS clients, and should be entered in the order described.

Before you begin

Ensure that you have successfully loaded new Cisco IOS XE software onto the standby processor as described in the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers Software Configuration Guide.

SUMMARY STEPS

DETAILED STEPS

	Command or Action	Purpose
Step 1	enable Example: `Router> enable`	Enables privileged EXEC mode. Enter your password if prompted.
Step 2	show issu clients Example: `Router# show issu clients`	Lists network applications and protocols currently supported by ISSU. You can use this command to discover the client ID that you will need to enter in Steps 3 and 6.
Step 3	show issu sessions `clientID` Example: `Router# show issu sessions 2002`	Displays detailed information about a particular ISSU client that includes whether a particular client is compatible with the intended upgrade. You can use this command to discover the session ID that you will need to enter in Steps 4 and 5.
Step 4	show issu negotiated version `sessionID` Example: `Router# show issu negotiated version 33`	Displays details of the session’s negotiated message version.
Step 5	show issu negotiated capability `sessionID` Example: `Router# show issu negotiated capability 33`	Displays results of a negotiation about the client application’s capabilities.
Step 6	show issu message types `clientID` Example: `Router# show issu message types 2002`	Displays the message formats (“types”) and versions supported by the specified client.

Configuration Examples for ISSU MPLS Clients

To examine any ISSU client, you must specify its unique client ID when entering the show issu sessions command. If you do not already know that client ID, enter the show issu clients command in user EXEC or privileged EXEC mode. Each ISSU client on the network will then be listed, with its client ID and client name on the same line, as shown in the following example:

Verifying the ISSU Process for an MPLS LDP Client Example

This example shows how to verify the ISSU process for an LDP client.

The first command shows you whether the LDP client’s old and new software versions are compatible, and therefore are able to make use of the ISSU opportunity:


Router# show issu sessions 2011
---------------------------------------------------------------------
 Client_ID = 2011,  Entity_ID = 1 :
 *** Session_ID = 46,  Session_Name = LDP Session :
    Peer   Peer  Negotiate  Negotiated   Cap      Msg     Session
  UniqueID  Sid    Role       Result   GroupID  GroupID  Signature
     4       34   PRIMARY   COMPATIBLE    1        1         0
                           (no policy)
    Negotiation Session Info for This Message Session:
         Nego_Session_ID = 46
         Nego_Session_Name = LDP Session
         Transport_Mtu = 3948

Now you can take the session ID displayed in the previous command’s output and enter it into the next command, to see the negotiated message version:


Router# show issu negotiated version 46
 Session_ID = 46 :
     Message_Type = 1,  Negotiated_Version = 2,  Message_MTU = 20
     Message_Type = 2,  Negotiated_Version = 2,  Message_MTU = 20
     Message_Type = 3,  Negotiated_Version = 2,  Message_MTU = 4

Next you can enter the same session ID into the following command to display the capability negotiation result:


Router# show issu negotiated capability 46
 Session_ID = 46 :
     Negotiated_Cap_Entry = 1

Finally, to see which message types and versions are supported by this particular client, you enter the client ID into the following command:


Router# show issu message types 2011
---------------------------------------------------------------------
 Client_ID = 2011,  Entity_ID = 1 :
    Message_Type = 1,  Version_Range = 2 ~ 2
          Message_Ver = 2,    Message_Mtu = 20
    Message_Type = 2,  Version_Range = 2 ~ 2
          Message_Ver = 2,    Message_Mtu = 20
    Message_Type = 3,  Version_Range = 2 ~ 2
          Message_Ver = 2,    Message_Mtu = 4

Verifying the ISSU Process for an MPLS VPN Client Example

This example shows how to verify the ISSU process for an MPLS VPN client.

The first command shows you whether the VPN client’s old and new software versions are compatible, and therefore are able to make use of the ISSU opportunity:


Router# show issu sessions 2009
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Client_ID = 2009,  Entity_ID = 1 :
*** Session_ID = 39,  Session_Name = MPLS VPN ISSU Session :
   Peer   Peer  Negotiate  Negotiated   Cap      Msg     Session
 UniqueID  Sid    Role       Result   GroupID  GroupID  Signature
    3       33   PASSIVE   COMPATIBLE    1        1         0
                          (no policy)
   Negotiation Session Info for This Message Session:
        Nego_Session_ID = 39
        Nego_Session_Name = MPLS VPN ISSU Session
        Transport_Mtu = 3980

Now you can take the session ID displayed in the previous command’s output and enter it into the next command, in order to see the negotiated message version:


Router# show issu negotiated version 39
Session_ID = 39 :
    Message_Type = 1,  Negotiated_Version = 1,  Message_MTU = 32

Next you can enter the same session ID into the following command to display the capability negotiation result:


Router# show issu negotiated capability 39
Session_ID = 39 :
Negotiated_Cap_Entry = 1

Finally,= to see which message types and versions are supported by this particular client, you enter the client ID into the following command:


Router# show issu message types 2009
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Client_ID = 2009,  Entity_ID = 1 :
   Message_Type = 1,  Version_Range = 1 ~ 1
         Message_Ver = 1,    Message_Mtu = 32

Verifying the ISSU Process for an MPLS VRF (“Table ID”) Client Example

This example shows how to verify the ISSU process for an MPLS VRF (“Table ID”) client.

The first command shows you whether the VRF client’s old and new software versions are compatible, and therefore are able to make use of the ISSU opportunity:

---------------------------------------------------------------------
 Client_ID = 2008,  Entity_ID = 1 :
 *** Session_ID = 19,  Session_Name = TABLEID ISSU CF :
    Peer   Peer  Negotiate  Negotiated   Cap      Msg     Session
  UniqueID  Sid    Role       Result   GroupID  GroupID  Signature
     4       13   PRIMARY   COMPATIBLE    1        1         0
                           (no policy)
    Negotiation Session Info for This Message Session:
         Nego_Session_ID = 19
         Nego_Session_Name = TABLEID ISSU CF
         Transport_Mtu = 3948


Router# show issu sessions 2008
---------------------------------------------------------------------
 Client_ID = 2008,  Entity_ID = 1 :
 *** Session_ID = 19,  Session_Name = TABLEID ISSU CF :
    Peer   Peer  Negotiate  Negotiated   Cap      Msg     Session
  UniqueID  Sid    Role       Result   GroupID  GroupID  Signature
     4       13   PRIMARY   COMPATIBLE    1        1         0
                           (no policy)
    Negotiation Session Info for This Message Session:
         Nego_Session_ID = 19
         Nego_Session_Name = TABLEID ISSU CF
         Transport_Mtu = 3948

Now you can take the session ID displayed in the previous command’s output and enter it into the next command, in order to see the negotiated message version:


Router# show issu negotiated version 19
 Session_ID = 19 :
     Message_Type = 1,  Negotiated_Version = 1,  Message_MTU = 44
     Message_Type = 2,  Negotiated_Version = 1,  Message_MTU = 4

Next you can enter the same session ID into the following command to display the capability negotiation result:


Router# show issu negotiated capability 19
Session_ID = 19 :
Negotiated_Cap_Entry = 1

Finally, to see which message types and versions are supported by this particular client, you enter the client ID into the following command:


Router# show issu message types 2008
---------------------------------------------------------------------
 Client_ID = 2008,  Entity_ID = 1 :
    Message_Type = 1,  Version_Range = 1 ~ 1
          Message_Ver = 1,    Message_Mtu = 44
    Message_Type = 2,  Version_Range = 1 ~ 1
          Message_Ver = 1,    Message_Mtu = 4

Verifying the ISSU Process for an MPLS LSD Label Manager HA Client Example

This example shows how to verify the ISSU process for an MPLS LSD Label Manager HA client.

The first command shows you whether the LSD client’s old and new software versions are compatible, and therefore are able to make use of the ISSU opportunity:


Router# show issu sessions 2007
---------------------------------------------------------------------
 Client_ID = 2007,  Entity_ID = 1 :
 *** Session_ID = 40,  Session_Name = lsd_ha :
    Peer   Peer  Negotiate  Negotiated   Cap      Msg     Session
  UniqueID  Sid    Role       Result   GroupID  GroupID  Signature
     4       30   PRIMARY   COMPATIBLE    1        1         0
                              (policy)
    Negotiation Session Info for This Message Session:
         Nego_Session_ID = 40
         Nego_Session_Name = lsd_ha
         Transport_Mtu = 3948
         Compat_Result: raw_result = COMPATIBLE,  policy_result = COMPATIBLE

Now you can take the session ID displayed in the previous command’s output and enter it into the next command, in order to see the negotiated message version:


Router# show issu negotiated version 40
Session_ID = 40 :
     Message_Type = 1,  Negotiated_Version = 2,  Message_MTU = 8

Next you can enter the same session ID into the following command to display the capability negotiation result:


Router# show issu negotiated capability 40
---------------------------------------------------
  Client_ID = 2007,  Entity_ID = 1,  Session_ID = 40 :
      Negotiated_Cap_Entry = 1

Finally, to see which message types and versions are supported by this particular client, you enter the client ID into the following command:

---------------------------------------------------------------------
 Client_ID = 2007,  Entity_ID = 1 :
    Message_Type = 1,  Version_Range = 1 ~ 2
          Message_Ver = 1,    Message_Mtu = 12
          Message_Ver = 2,    Message_Mtu = 8

     7      35   PRIMARY    COMPATIBLE    1        1         0
                              (no policy)
    Negotiation Session Info for This Message Session:
         Nego_Session_ID = 131073
         Nego_Session_Name = MFI Pull                       (6)
         Transport_Mtu = 4056

Now you can take the session ID displayed in the previous command’s output and enter it into the next command, in order to see the negotiated message version:


Router# show issu negotiated version 131073
	Session_ID = 131073:
     Message_Type = 1006,  Negotiated_Version = 1,  Message_MTU = 4
	Message_Type = 3003,  Negotiated_Version = 1,  Message_MTU = 12

    Negotiation Session Info for This Message Session:
         Nego_Session_ID = 196646
         Nego_Session_Name = MFI Push                      (6)
         Transport_Mtu = 4056

Now you can take the session ID displayed in the previous command’s output and enter it into the next command, in order to see the negotiated message version:

         Nego_Session_ID = 45
         Nego_Session_Name = MPLS LSPV Push (6 )
         Transport_Mtu = 1438

Now you can take the session ID displayed in the previous command’s output and enter it into the next command, in order to see the negotiated message version:


Router# show issu negotiated version 45
 Session_ID = 45:
	Message_Type = 0,  Negotiated_Version = 1,  Message_MTU = 74
	Message_Type = 1,  Negotiated_Version = 1,  Message_MTU = 120
	Message_Type = 2,  Negotiated_Version = 1,  Message_MTU = 120
	Message_Type = 3,  Negotiated_Version = 1,  Message_MTU = 5122
	Message_Type = 4,  Negotiated_Version = 1,  Message_MTU = 6

Next you can enter the same session ID into the following command to display the capability negotiation result:


Router# show issu negotiated capability 45
Session_ID = 45:
Cap_Type = 0				Cap_Result = 1					No cap value assigned

Finally to see which message types and versions are supported by this particular client, you enter the client ID into the following command:


Router# show issu message types 2089
---------------------------------------------------------------------
 Client_ID = 2089,  Entity_ID = 1 :
    Message_Type = 0,  Version_Range = 1 ~ 1
          Message_Ver = 1,    Message_Mtu = 74
    Message_Type = 1,  Version_Range = 1 ~ 1
          Message_Ver = 1,    Message_Mtu = 120
	Message_Type = 2,  Version_Range = 1 ~ 1
          Message_Ver = 1,    Message_Mtu = 120
    Message_Type = 3,  Version_Range = 1 ~ 1
          Message_Ver = 1,    Message_Mtu = 5122
	Message_Type = 4,  Version_Range = 1 ~ 1
          Message_Ver = 1,    Message_Mtu = 6

Verifying the ISSU Process for an MPLS TE Client Example

This example shows how to verify the ISSU process for an MPLS TE client.

The first command shows you whether the TE client’s old and new software versions are compatible, and therefore are able to make use of the ISSU opportunity:


Router# show issu sessions 2053
---------------------------------------------------------------------
 Client_ID = 2053,  Entity_ID = 1 :
 *** Session_ID = 84,  Session_Name = RSVP HA Session :
    Peer   Peer  Negotiate  Negotiated   Cap      Msg     Session
  UniqueID  Sid    Role       Result   GroupID  GroupID  Signature
    22       94   PRIMARY   COMPATIBLE    1        1         0
                           (no policy)
    Negotiation Session Info for This Message Session:
         Nego_Session_ID = 84
         Nego_Session_Name = RSVP HA Session
         Transport_Mtu = 1392

Now you can take the session ID displayed in the previous command’s output and enter it into the next command, in order to see the negotiated message version:


Router# show issu negotiated version 84
Session_ID = 84 :
     Message_Type = 1,  Negotiated_Version = 2,  Message_MTU = 1024

Next you can enter the same session ID into the following command to display the capability negotiation result:


Router# show issu negotiated capability 84
Session_ID = 84 :
     Cap_Type = 0,     Cap_Result = 1     No cap value assigned

Finally to see which message types and versions are supported by this particular client, you enter the client ID into the following command:


Router# show issu message types 2053
---------------------------------------------------------------------
 Client_ID = 2053,  Entity_ID = 1 :
    Message_Type = 1,  Version_Range = 1 ~ 2
          Message_Ver = 1,    Message_Mtu = 1024
          Message_Ver = 2,    Message_Mtu = 1024
