| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
|
Routing |
|
|
This feature introduces support for NCS 560 routers as a Seamless BFD (SBFD) 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: The sbfd command is extended to support NCS 560 routers. |

|
Segment Routing |
|
|
Data Plane Validation for SR-MPLS IPv6-based Controller Instantiated LSPs |
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:
See (GitHub, Yang Data Models Navigator) |
|
In Segment Routing over an IPv6 network (SRv6), you can measure packet delay from the source to a specific IP endpoint. You can use this information for troubleshooting, network maintenance, and optimizing network performance. Additionally, you can use flow labels to verify the delay of each subsequent hop path towards the IP endpoint of that path. So that, when network traffic is distributed across multiple available paths towards an IP endpoint, delay measurement tracks the delay of each of these paths towards the IP endpoint. The feature introduces these changes: CLI:
YANG Data Model:
(See GitHub, YANG Data Models Navigator) |
|
|
In Segment Routing over an IPv6 network (SRv6), you can keep track of the operational status of both the forward and reverse paths of a particular node or IP endpoint. You can use this information for troubleshooting, network maintenance, and optimizing network performance. Additionally, you can use flow labels to verify the liveness of each subsequent hop path toward the IP endpoint of that path. So that, when network traffic is distributed across multiple available paths towards an IP endpoint, liveness detection tracks the operational status of each of these paths towards the IP endpoint. The feature introduces these changes: CLI:
YANG Data Model:
(see GitHub, YANG Data Models Navigator) |
|
|
MPLS OAM support for SR-TE Policies using MPLS IPv6-based LSPs |
You can now verify the network configuration and paths and SR-TE 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). Previously, MPLS OAM support was only for IPv4-based LSPs. The feature introduces these changes: CLI: The traceroute sr-mpls and ping sr-mpls commands are extended to support IPv6 nexthop addresses. YANG Data Models:
See (GitHub, Yang Data Models Navigator) |
|
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. |
|
|
This feature enables you to configure the traffic-class DSCP marking to 6-bits using the newpolicy-map-extend keyword in the hw-module profile segment-routing srv6 mode microsegment f3216 encapsulation traffic-class CLI in both the L2 and L3 traffic configurations for SRv6. This is a mutually inclusive feature for L2 and L3 traffic. Therefore, this feature cannot be used in the individual configuration for L2 and L3 traffic. When you use the policy-map-extend keyword in the hw-module profile segment-routing srv6 mode microsegment f3216 encapsulation traffic-class CLI, the existing 3-bit DSCP marking set by the hw-module profile segment-routing srv6 mode microsegment f3216 encapsulation traffic-class l3-traffic policy-map CLI in the L3 traffic configuration is modified to 6-bits. This feature introduces this change: CLI: The policy-map-extend keyword is introduced in the hw-module profile segment-routing srv6 mode microsegment f3216 encapsulation traffic-class command. |
|
|
You can now minimize ECMP-FEC resource consumption and duplication of resources during underlay programming for an SR-MPLS network for IPv6 prefixes. The feature supports sharing the same ECMP-FEC, regular FEC, and Egress Encapsulation DB (EEDB) entries for all paths with the same outgoing MPLS label among IPv6 prefixes. This improvement is now possible by using the hw-module fib mpls label lsr-optimized command. In earlier releases, ECMP-FEC optimization for IPv4 prefixes was available. |
|
|
This feature adds support for user-defined generic metric as a metric type for IS-IS Flexible Algorithm. You can now have more control over traffic flows using user-defined generic metrics. You can define a family of user-defined generic metrics that can advertise different types of administrative metrics such as jitter, reliability, and fiscal cost depending on the traffic class for Flexible Algorithms. You can selectively define and assign semantics of these metrics as per the network requirement. The feature introduces the following changes: CLI:
YANG Data Models:
|
|
|
L3VPN |
|
|
You can now verify that MPLS labels are correctly programmed in the control plane (or software) and the data plane (hardware forwarding tables) using the show mpls forwarding labels command. Previously the command only showed the MPLS label information for software, additional steps were required to verify the label status in the hardware, by checking in the SDK. |
|
|
Netflow |
|
|
You can now export GTP-U traffic flow records using NetFlow v9 and IPFIX in 5G network. This enables you to monitor provides you with bidirectional traffic monitoring crucial for analytics and robust DDoS prevention strategies. This feature modifies the output of the show flow monitor command. |
|
|
System Management |
|
|
Advanced Network Latency Insights through Frame Delay Categorization |
By precisely measuring the frame delay range into widths, bins, minimum-delay and range percentile, you can now get a clearer picture of network speeds by sorting delays into groups. This helps make sure data flows smoothly and problems are found and fixed faster. Plus, it allows users to check if most data gets through the network quickly, making the network more reliable for everyone. This feature introduces these changes: CLI: frame delay width bins minimum-delay frame-delay-range percentileYang Data Models:
|
|
Using the default encapsulation setting for Service Activation Tests (SAT) streamlines the activation process with its ease of configuration and uniform testing standards. It accelerates service rollout by diminishing the need for intricate adjustments and guarantees the consistency of test outcomes. This setting establishes a dependable benchmark for assessing performance, benefits from extensive vendor support, and ensures seamless interaction between diverse network elements, aiding in the efficient deployment and ongoing management of network services. |
|
|
User-Specified MTU Support for EMIX Traffic in Service Activation Tests |
Defining the MTU packet size in Service Activation Tests (SAT) allows for tailored testing that matches the network's maximum frame capacity. This precision testing ensures accurate service performance validation and a reliable network service rollout. This feature introduces the following changes: CLI: packet-size emix Sequence h |
|
System Security |
|
|
Support for Layer 2 Untagged Sub-interface configuration in IEEE 802.1X Port-based Authentication |
This feature allows you to configure the Layer 2 untagged sub-interfaces in the IEEE 802.1X port-based authentication. |
|
System Monitoring |
|
|
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. |
|

| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
|
Programmability |
|
|
openconfig-local-routing.yang Version 2.0.1 |
The OpenConfig data model, which is part of the openconfig-network-instance.yang data model is revised from version 1.2.0 to 2.0.1. This revision enables you to configure the preference for the order selection when multiple sources, such as protocols and static routes, contribute to the same prefix entry. A lower number signifies a better preference. When the preference value is not specified, default preference value is considered which is one. This data model supports event-driven and Model-driven telemetry. |
|
Cisco-IOS-XR-infra-statsd-oper.yang |
The native yang data model streams cached counters using a TARGET_DEFINED subscription. It enables you to fetch interface statistics, such as bytes-received, packets-received and other details, from a cache which is periodically updated from hardware using generic-counters container. The hardware-timestamp field indicates the timestamp of the most recent hardware counter readings. If hardware-timestamp field is 0, the last-data-time field indicates the timestamp of the most recent counter readings, which could be either from hardware or software. |
|
openconfig-if-ip.yang Version 3.5.0 |
The OpenConfig data model has been updated from version 3.0.0 to 3.5.0. This data model helps you specify data structures for managing both configuration and operational state on IP interfaces, supporting IPv4 and IPv6. You can stream telemetry for the operational state of these interfaces using both model-driven and event-driven approaches. |
|
Cisco-IOS-XR-mpls-traceroute-act.yang |
This unified data model is enhanced with a new container, ipv6, and leaves such as next-hop, lsp-endpoint, and force-ipv6-explicit-null in the type-ipv6-next-hop interface to extend support to Segment Routing OAM to verify network configuration for SR-MPLS IPv6-based LSPs. |
|
Cisco-IOS-XR-um-router-isis-cfg |
This unified data model is enhanced with new containers generic-metric, and generic-metric-level to define a family of user-defined generic metrics that can advertise different types of administrative metrics such as jitter, reliability, and fiscal cost depending on the traffic class for Flexible Algorithms. |
Hardware Introduced

|---|---|
|
Optics |
This release launches the following new optics on selective hardware within the product portfolio. For details and other new supported transceivers, refer to the Transceiver Module Group (TMG) Compatibility Matrix.
|
Behavior Changes
-
From this release, the default order of authentication methods for SSH clients on Cisco IOS XR routers running Cisco IOS XR SSH is changed to: public-key, keyboard-interactive, and password.
Prior to this release, the default order was: public-key, password, and keyboard-interactive.
-
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. (Performing In-Service Software Upgrade (ISSU) to Cisco IOS XR Release 7.9.1 will also be rejected.)
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
-
The statistics collection may time out due to CPU overload during route churn. In such scenarios, statistics collection will resume when the CPU becomes available after the route churn is complete.
-
The standby RP may get into '
NOT READY' state intermittently due to some network churn, though the corresponding VM is up and running. But this is a transient state and shows that some data aren’t in sync between active and standby due to the network churn. After both active and standby are in sync with respect to all the parameters, then the standby RP comes into 'READY' state.
Caveats
There are no caveats in this release.

Important Notes
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. |

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).
The upgrade document for Cisco NCS 560 router is available along with the software image in NCS560_Upgrade_MOP_24.2.1.tar file.
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.
