Cisco IOS XR Release 7.0.2 is an Extended Maintenance Release of Cisco IOS XR Release 7.0.1 for Cisco NCS 540 Series routers. For more details on the Cisco IOS XR release model and associated support, see Guidelines for Cisco IOS XR Software. |
Supported Software Features for N540-24Z8Q2C-SYS, N540X-ACC-SYS, and N540-ACC-SYS
Following feature is supported on Cisco N540-24Z8Q2C-SYS, N540X-ACC-SYS, and N540-ACC-SYS variants.
SPAN over Pseudo-Wire
Pseudo-wire traffic mirroring (known as PW-SPAN) is an extra functionality on the existing SPAN solutions. The existing SPAN solutions are monitored on a destination interface or through a GRE tunnel or RSPAN. In PW-SPAN, the traffic mirroring destination port is configured to be a pseudo-wire rather than a physical port. Here, the designated traffic on the source port is mirrored over the pseudo-wire to a central location. Mirroring the designated traffic on the source port over the pseudo-wire to a central location allows the centralization of expensive network traffic analysis tools.
For more information about this feature, see the Configuring Traffic Mirroring chapter in the Interface and Hardware Component Configuration Guide for Cisco NCS 540 Series Routers.
Supported Hardware Features
There are no new hardware features supported in this release.
