System Setup and Software Installation |
|
|
Install Owner and Partner RPMs Using IOS XR Install Infrastructure |
Introduced in this release on: NCS 5700 fixed port routers You can now use the existing IOS XR install infrastructure to install your proprietary Owner and Partner RPMs. This enhancement streamlines the process of integrating third-party software seamlessly into the IOS XR environment, including bundling the owner and partner RPMs into a GISO. In previous releases, you could only install Owner and Partner applications using the Application Manager interface. This feature introduces the keyword skip-implicit-owner-packages-checks in the following install commands:
|
|
Routing |
|
|
Multi-area Loopback Interface for OSPF on NCS 5700 Fixed Port Routers |
Introduced in this release on: NCS 5700 fixed port routers You can save IP addresses and resources, prevent the use of multiple node SIDs for labels associated with loopback interfaces, and save time configuring multiple loopback interfaces for an Area Border Router (ABR) in a network. These improvements are possible as you can now configure a single loopback interface for multiple areas. With this feature, an ABR can use a single loopback interface for all areas it connects to, eliminating the need for separate loopback interfaces for each area. Previously, each loopback interface was linked to only one area. The feature introduces these changes: CLI: The multi-area-interface command is extended to support loopback interfaces. |
|
Introduced in this release on: NCS 5700 fixed port routers This feature enables prompt alerts for out-of-resource conditions in IS-IS processes that could otherwise cause network instability and disruption due to memory leaks and excessive link-state packets (LSPs). That, in addition, they can disable the overload bit status flag that's included in the router's LSP to prevent setting of the overload-bit, but it's not recommended without Cisco consultation This ability to protect IS-IS processes in OOR conditions is enabled by default and you can't disable it. Previously, during OOR conditions, IS-IS processes restarted themselves, but the OOR conditions could persist. The feature introduces these changes: CLI:

Seamless Bidirectional Forwarding Detection on NCS 5700 Fixed Port Routers |
Introduced in this release on: NCS 5700 fixed port routers This feature introduces support for NCS 5500 routers as a Seamless BFD (S-BFD) reflector. Seamless BFD simplifies the negotiation and state establishment aspects of BFD by predetermining session discriminators and maintaining session state only at the headend. This approach ensures quicker connectivity tests and reduces complexity in session establishment. Previously, support for Seamless BFD reflector was not available. The feature introduces these changes: CLI: This feature introduces the sbfd command. |
|
Segment Routing |
|
|
Introduced in this release on: NCS 5700 fixed port routers You can now verify the network configuration and paths and policies set up, without interrupting or potentially disrupting live network traffic, for SR-MPLS (Segment Routing over Multiprotocol Label Switching) IPv6-based Label Switched Paths (LSPs). With this feature, you can validate controller instantiated LSPs programmed directly into the forwarding hardware. Previously, SR data plane validation was possible over IPv4-based LSPs. The feature introduces these changes: CLI: The dataplane-only keyword is introduced in the traceroute sr-mpls and ping sr-mpls commands. YANG Data Models:

Interface and Hardware Component |
|
|
Carrier Delay on Physical Interfaces on NCS 5700 fixed port routers |
Introduced in this release on: NCS 5700 fixed port routers With the carrier-delay timer functionality, the Ethernet interface state remains stable for the configured delay duration, even if the hardware link state fluctuates. This prevents interface flapping and improves network reliability. If you haven't configured the timer, the default carrier delay automatically delays the hardware link-up notifications by 200 ms. This time delay ensures that a stable hardware link state is established. If you want to change the delay of the interface state change notification, you can use the carrier-delay command to set a different value. The feature introduces these changes: CLI:
|
|
IP Addresses and Services |
|
|
Introduced in this release on: NCS 5700 fixed port routers You can now convert an entire TCP dump of packet traces in binary files into readable formats such as text or cap, which makes it easier to analyze them for troubleshooting using third-party or open-source tools. This feature saves time and effort by preventing the need to examine each packet for failure. This feature introduces the tcp dump-file convert command. |
|
|
L2VPN and Ethernet Services |
|
|
Introduced in this release on: NCS 5700 fixed port routers This feature support is now extended to NCS 5700 fixed port routers. |

Modular QoS |
|
|
Set VXLAN Outer IP Header DSCP Value to 0 on NCS 5700 fixed port routers |
Support for this feature is extended to: NCS 5700 fixed port routers When a PE device transports IP traffic over a VXLAN tunnel that originates on the device, it automatically sets the DSCP value in the VXLAN outer IP header to 0 (CS0). |
|
System Management |
|
|
Introduced in this release on: NCS 5700 fixed port routers The maximum number of commits is increased in the router that allows you to configure complex topology changes without interruptions caused by the default blocking of commit changes during rebase or ASCII backup operations. You can prevent the commit operation from getting blocked by using the cfs check command, which increases the commit (pacount) count from 20 to 40, and the commit file diff size (configuration data) from 2 MB to 4 MB, and by using the clear configuration ascii inconsistency command, which performs an ASCII backup after 55 minutes. The feature modifies the following commands:
|
|
|
System Monitoring |
|
|
Traffic Statistics with Packet Drop Location on NCS 5700 fixed port routers |
Introduced in this release on: NCS 5700 fixed port routers We help you save debugging time to locate packet drops by automatically detecting nonzero traffic drops from the commands running in the background and giving you the exact location of the packet drop. In earlier releases, you used multiple show commands with their respective locations to detect packet drops. This feature introduces the show drops all command. |

Behavior Changes
-
Starting from Cisco IOS XR Release 24.2.11, the NCS-57C3-MOD router supports 2x100GbE auto-breakout on MPA slots 2 and 3.
-
From this release, the set qos-group action can be used with the new parameter policy-map-extend in the hw-module profile segment-routing srv6 mode encapsulation traffic class command. Prior to this release, the set qos-group action cannot be used in conjunction with the parameter policy-map-extend in the hw-module profile segment-routing srv6 mode encapsulation traffic class command.
-
From this release, for the tx-interval value in performance-measurement liveness-profile , the allowed range for CPU sessions is from 15000 to 15000000 micro seconds. The modified range applies to both the liveness-profile sr-policy default and liveness-profile name commands. Prior to this release, the allowed range for CPU sessions was from 30000 to 15000000 micro seconds
-
Cisco IOS XR enforces the existence of the leaves referenced by OpenConfig list key leafrefs. If the referenced leaves do not exist in the OpenConfig datastore, the following error is returned:
Leaf
nameinside theconfigcontainer must also be set to valuedefaultto satisfy the leafref constraint on the list key. -
To configure load-balancing parameters, use the cef load-balancing command in Global configuration mode.
-
When multiple IS-IS instances are configured on a router, by default, show isis commands display information from all IS-IS instances. To display information from only one specific IS-IS instance, use the set default-isis-instance command in the EXEC mode.

Important Notes
-
The total number of bridge-domains (2*BDs) and GRE tunnels put together should not exceed 1518. Here the number 1518 represents the multi-dimensional scale value.
-
The offline diagnostics functionality is not supported in NCS 5500 platform. Therefore, the hw-module service offline location command will not work. However, you can use the (sysadmin)# hw-module shutdown location command to bring down the LC.
Licensing
Starting with Cisco IOS XR Release 24.1.1, Smart Licensing Using Policy (SLP) is the default Licensing model. When you upgrade to the Cisco IOS XR Release 24.1.1 release or later, the Smart Licensing Using Policy is enabled by default.
You can migrate your devices to Smart Licensing with Policy model, see Migrating from Smart Licensing to Smart Licensing Using Policy, Smart Licensing Using Policy on Cisco IOS XR Routers.
We recommend that you update to the latest version of SSM On-Prem or Cisco Smart Licensing Utility.
 Note |
SSM On-Prem and CSSM both support SLP devices and SL devices. SLP devices and SL devices can coexist in a network. The Smart Licensing (SL) model is available in releases Cisco IOS XR Release 7.11.1 and earlier. |
Supported Transceiver Modules
To determine the transceivers that Cisco hardware device supports, refer to the Transceiver Module Group (TMG) Compatibility Matrix tool.
Upgrading Cisco IOS XR Software
Cisco IOS XR Software is installed and activated from modular packages, allowing specific features or software patches to be installed, upgraded, or downgraded without affecting unrelated processes. Software packages can be upgraded or downgraded on all supported card types, or on a single card (node).
Before starting the software upgrade, use the show install health command in the admin mode. This command validates if the statuses of all relevant parameters of the system are ready for the software upgrade without interrupting the system.
Note |
You can ignore these messages and proceed with the installation operation.
