Supported MIBs

The Cisco NCS 5500 MIB support list is also applicable to the Cisco NCS 560 Series Routers. For the list of supported MIBs, see the Cisco NCS5500 MIB Support List.

Behavior Change Introduced in this release

Deprecated Commands

  • From this release onwards the interface tunnel-te tunnel-id path-option pref {dynamic|explicit} segment-routing command is deprecated. Configure Segment Routing Traffic Engineering (SR-TE) using the segment-routing traffic-eng command.

    For more information on the SR-TE commands and configurations, see the Segment Routing Command Reference and Segment Routing Configuration Guide for Cisco NCS 560 Series Routers.

RPKI Prefix Validation

Starting from Cisco IOS XR Release 6.5.1, origin-as validation is disabled by default, you must enable it per address family.

See Configure BGP Prefix Validation

Restrictions and Limitations on the Cisco NCS 560 Series Router

  • The show inventory and the show diagnostic commands do not display the fan serial number.

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

  • Ensure that the ISIS hello interval-timer value is not greater than six seconds, otherwise it may result in an ISIS adjacency flap.

  • Do not use the Cisco N560-RSP4 and Cisco N560-RSP4-E route processors together in the same router.

Caveats

This section describes open and resolved severity 1 and 2 caveats and select severity 3 caveats:

  • The “Open Caveats” sections list open caveats that apply to the current release and may apply to previous releases. A caveat that is open for a prior release and is still unresolved applies to all future releases until it is resolved.

  • The “Resolved Caveats” sections list caveats resolved in a specific release, but open in previous releases.

The bug IDs are sorted alphanumerically.


Note

The Caveats section includes the bug ID and a short description of the bug. For details on the symptoms, conditions, and workaround for a specific caveat you must use the Bug Search Tool.
