Software Features Enhanced and Introduced

To learn about features introduced in other Cisco IOS XR releases, select the release from the Documentation Landing Page.

The following features are supported on all the NCS 540 variants.

Feature Description

IP Addresses and Services

Support for HSRP version 2 Extended Group Range

You can now use HSRP version 2, which has an expanded group IDs up to 4095 with 255 number of (IPv4 and IPv6 combined) HSRP sessions.

Now, the inter operation with the other routers is supported.

Earlier, you could configure only up to 255 group IDs with 255 number of (IPv4 and IPv6 combined) HSRP sessions.

L2VPN and Ethernet Services

Increased VLAN-IDs per VLAN list

From this release, you can configure up to 64 VLAN-IDs per VLAN list. Previously, the number of VLAN-IDs supported were only up to 9, per VLAN list.

The enhanced VLAN-IDs help to add more number of customers in an Ethernet network.

Use the encapsulation list-extended dot1q command, to configure up to 64 VLAN-IDs.

Storm Control Configuration for Subinterfaces

Storm control helps prevent LAN ports from being disrupted by a broadcast, multicast, or unicast traffic storm.

You can now configure different storm control rates for each subinterface on a physical port. This will give you control at a granular level and prevent flooding of excess traffic at the subinterface level.

In earlier releases, storm control could be configured only at the physical port level or only on one subinterface under a main interface.

This feature modifies the hw-module storm-control-combine-policer-bw enable command to enable per subinterface configuration support for storm control.

Single Tagged VLAN Range Support for Double Tagged Frames

From this release, L2 subinterface configuration with single tagged VLAN range can be matched with the double tagged frames. Previously, the packet matching was done only with single VLAN ID and the double tagged packets were dropped.

With single tagged VLAN range support for double tagged frames, the traffic can reach the VLAN destination safely.

MAC Address Limit Configuration for Static Addresses

You can now configure the MAC address limit for bridge domains to learn only static MAC addresses and to drop traffic from unknown sources.

Malicious attackers can spoof a Layer 2 MAC address to change dynamic entries in the MAC table. However, with this functionality enabling you to configure the MAC address limit for bridge domains to learn only static MAC addresses, the dynamic MAC addresses are blocked. In addition, a static entry always overrules dynamic entries. This functionality thus prevents the interception of your data by unauthorized users and improves your network security.

Modular QoS

Support for displaying the QoS hardware module profiles

It is now possible to view the supported QoS hardware module profile names on the router by using the show qos hw-module-status command. You can now identify if the profile is configured on the router, and whether it requires a reboot or not.

Network Synchronization

PTP Holdover Traceability flag override for T-GM and Virtual-port/APTS modes

This feature extends the PTP holdover traceability suppression functionality to T-GM and Virtual-port/APTS modes.

Netflow

IPFIX Enablement for SRv6 and Services over SRv6 Core

This feature provides improved information about IP traffic flows, through the introduction of sub-menus to two commands.

The record ipv6 command is modified to support a new optional keyword, srv6.

A new subtype for ipv4 record and ipv6 record is introduced for l2-l3 records.

For more information, see:

  • record ipv6

  • show flow monitor-map

Routing

Configure flex-algo IS-IS maximum-path

This feature introduces the new algorithm 0 command and provides information on the updated flex-algo command.

These updates enable individual granularity for flex-algo and regular SPF algorithms.

Segment Routing

EVPN VPWS and EVPN ELAN ODN over SRv6-TE policy

This feature enables support for On-Demand Next-Hop over SRv6-TE policy.

When SRv6-TE is configured, the ODN policy uses SRv6-TE tunnels, thus improving traffic performance.

Configure SR-TE Head-end Explicit Path with TI-LFA

An SRv6 segment using an IPv6 prefix enables validation of all SIDs in the segment list. Segments in the topology database are validated, providing for improved traffic flow.

Circuit-Style SR-TE Policies

This solution allows Segment Routing to meet the requirements of a connection-oriented transport network, which was historically delivered over circuit-switched SONET/SDH networks.

Circuit-style SR-TE policies allow a common network infrastructure to be used for both connection-oriented services and classic IP-based transport. This eliminates the need for multiple parallel networks, which greatly reduces both capital expenditures (CapEx) and operating expenditures (OpEx).

Path Tracing Midpoint

Path Tracing (PT) provides a log or record of the packet path as a sequence of interface IDs along with its time stamp. In Path Tracing, a node can behave as a source, midpoint, or sink node.

The Path Tracing Midpoint feature is implemented in this release which measures the hop-by-hop delay, traces the path in the network and collects egress interface load information and interface Id, and stores them in the Midpoint Compressed Data (MCD) section of Hop-by-Hop Path Tracing (HbH-PT) header.

This feature provides visibility to the Path Tracing Midpoint node that handles IPv6 transit in Path Tracing and full characterization of the packet delivery path. It provides real time information and the current status of the network.

This feature introduces the following command:

SR IS-IS Enhancements: max-metric and data plane updates

The new anomaly optional keyword is introduced to affinity flex-algo command. This keyword helps to advertise the flex-algo affinity when the performance measurement signals a link anomaly, such as an excessive delay on a link. You could use the anomaly option to exclude the link from flex-algo path computations.

affinity flex-algo

Manual SRv6-TE Policies with Explicit Paths

This feature is now supported on Cisco NCS 540 routers. To enable the native mode, use the hw-module profile npu native-mode-enable command in the configuration mode. Ensure that you reload the router after configuring the native mode.

IS-IS Unreachable Prefix Announcement

The Unreachable Prefix Announcement (UPA) notifies the loss of prefix reachability between areas or domains, for prefixes that are covered by the summary address range during inter-area or inter-domain summarization.

This feature helps in identifying the routers that are facing prefix unreachability issues faster and fix it.

The new commands introduced for this feature are:

Full-Replace Migration to SRv6 Micro-SID

This feature enables migration of existing SRv6 SID format1 to SRv6 Micro-SIDs (f3216) formats.

Earlier, only one format was supported at a time, and you had to choose either format1 or Micro-SID format for the deployment of services. Migration from Full-length SIDs to SRv6 Micro-SIDs was not possible.

The hw-module profile segment-routing srv6 mode base-and-micro-segment-f3216 subcommand is introduced under hw-module profile segment-routing srv6 mode.

System Management

Smart Licensing Per Port for Segment Routing-Traffic Engineering

Cisco Smart Licensing is a cloud-based, flexible software licensing model that enables you to activate and manage Cisco software licenses across your organization. Under the flexible, automated software licensing model, we have Advantage licenses which are required on top of Essential Licenses for ports that use advanced features like L3VPN.

This release allows you to allocate the Advantage licenses to the Segment Routing Traffic Engineering (SR-TE) based on the active ports under MPLS or SRV6. Before this release, when you configured SR-TE, all the ports used to consume Advantage licenses. This allows you to manage advantage licenses for SR-TE.

The following features are supported only on N540-24Q8L2DD-SYS variant.

Feature Feature

System Management

Y.1564 Service Activation Test in Native Mode

Y.1564 - Ethernet Service Activation Test (or performance test methodology) is a testing procedure which tests service turn-up, installation, and troubleshooting of Ethernet-based services. This test methodology was created to have a standard way of measuring Ethernet-based services in the industry.

This testing procedure is now supported on Cisco N540-24Q8L2DD-SYS routers that are installed and operate in the Native mode.

Segment Routing

Automated Steering of L3 BGP-based services

This feature is now supported on Cisco NCS 540 routers. To enable the native mode, use the hw-module profile npu native-mode-enable command in the configuration mode. Ensure that you reload the router after configuring the native mode.

The following features are supported on all the NCS 540 variants, but not supported on N540-ACC-SYS, N540X-ACC-SYS, and N540-24Z8Q2C-SYS variants.

Feature Feature

System Security

Secure Boot Status

You can now verify whether the router is securely booted up with an authentic Cisco software image. We have introduced a show command to verify the secure boot status of the router. If the software image was tampered with, then the secure boot fails, and the router does not boot up. Before this release, there was no provision on the router to verify the secure boot status.

The feature introduces these:

The feature is supported only on the following Cisco NCS 540 router variants:

  • N540-28Z4C-SYS-A/D

  • N540X-16Z4G8Q2C-A/D

  • N540X-16Z8Q2C-D

  • Cancel a pending reboot request using the CancelReboot RPC

  • Terminate a process using the KillProcess RPC

You can access the gNOI system RPC messages from the Github repository.

The following features are supported on N540-28Z4C-SYS-A/D, N540-12Z20G-SYS-A/D, N540X-12Z16G-SYS-A/D, N540X-6Z18G-SYS-A/D, N540X-8Z16G-SYS-A/D, and N540X-4Z14G2Q-A/D variants.

Feature Description

System Security

Selective Authentication Methods for SSH Server

You now have the flexibility to choose the preferred SSH server authentication methods on the router. These methods include password authentication, keyboard-interactive authentication, and public-key authentication. This feature allows you to selectively disable these authentication methods. By allowing the SSH clients to connect to the server only through these permitted authentication methods, this functionality provides additional security for router access through SSH. Before this release, by default, the SSH server allowed all these authentication methods for establishing SSH connections.

The feature introduces these changes:

  • CLI: New disable auth-methods command

  • YANG Data Model: New XPaths for Cisco-IOS-XR-crypto-ssh-cfg.yang Cisco native model (see GitHub)

Reimage Protection for Routers

By disallowing USB and PXE boots, this feature aims to prevent the reimage of stolen routers. Such an intervention ensures that attackers can't use the USB or PXE boot facility to erase the existing configuration and boot the stolen router with a fresh IOS Rx image for resale.

This feature is supported on the following Cisco NCS 540 router variants:

  • N540-28Z4C-SYS-A/D

  • N540X-16Z4G8Q2C-A/D

  • N540X-16Z8Q2C-D

  • N540-6Z14S-SYS-D

  • N540-12Z20G-SYS-A/D

  • N540X-12Z16G-SYS-A/D

  • N540X-6Z18G-SYS-A/D

  • N540X-8Z16G-SYS-A/D

  • N540X-4Z14G2Q-A/D

  • N540-6Z18G-SYS-A/D

The following feature is supported only on N540X-6Z18G-SYS-A/D router variants.

Feature Description

Time Division Multiplexing (TDM)

TDM2IP Smart SFP Optics is supported on N540X-6Z18G-SYS-A/D router variants

TDM2IP Smart SFP Optics is supported on N540X-6Z18G-SYS-A/D router variants.

The TPoP and CSoP Smart SFPs enable operators to migrate and integrate their TDM based transport network onto a single technology packet network for both data and TDM transport, which helps to streamline operations and to reduce operational expenditures.

The following feature is supported on N540X-6Z18G-SYS-A/D, N540X-8Z16G-SYS-A/D, N540X-4Z14G2Q-A/D, N540-6Z14S-SYS-D, and N540-6Z18G-SYS-A/D variants.

Feature Description

System Security

IMA Enforcement

We now use Integrity Measurement Architecture (IMA) to provide a higher level of trust and runtime security for the routers. With IMA appraisal, you can detect modifications to a file or executable within the router. These modifications could be accidental or malicious, carried out remotely or locally. In addition to logging an integrity violation, the IMA policy also enforces an appraisal by blocking any operation (open or run) for a compromised executable.

IMA Enforcement is now introduced on the following Cisco NCS 540 router variants:

  • N540X-6Z18G-SYS-A/D

  • N540X-8Z16G-SYS-A/D

  • N540X-4Z14G2Q-A/D

  • N540-6Z18G-SYS-A/D

  • N540-6Z14S-SYS-D

The following feature is supported only on N540X-12Z16G-SYS-A/D variants.

Feature Description

System Security

IP Security (IPSec) for Management Traffic

You can now use IP Security (IPSec), a protocol suite that authenticates and encrypts packets of data to provide secure communication over an unprotected network for all management traffic flows between routers.

With IPSec, management traffic data is sent across a public network without observation, modification, or spoofing.

This feature introduces the following commands:

  • ikev2 policy

  • ikev2 profile

  • ikev2 proposal

  • ipsec profile

  • ipsec transform-set

  • keyring

  • show ikev2 session detail

  • show ikev2 session

  • show ikev2 summary

  • show ipsec sa

This feature modifies the tunnel mode command.

Determine Firmware Support

Use the show command in EXEC mode to view the hardware components with their current FPD version and status. The status of the hardware must be “CURRENT”; Running and Programed version must be the same. The Golden FPDs with “NEED UPGD” can be ignored, the Golden FPDs are not upgradable.

Log in to the router and enter the show fpd package and show hw-module fpd commands on the Cisco N540-24Z8Q2C-SYS, N540X-ACC-SYS, and N540-ACC-SYS variants:


Note


If the Req Reload field is mentioned as Yes in the output, then it indicates the need for a router reboot for the FPD's latest version to take effect.

Important Notes

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.

The upgrade document for N540-24Z8Q2C-SYS, N540X-ACC-SYS, and N540-ACC-SYS variants is available along with the software image in NCS540-docs-7.8.1.tar file.

The upgrade document for N540-28Z4C-SYS-A/D, N540-12Z20G-SYS-A/D, N540X-12Z16G-SYS-A/D, N540X-16Z4G8Q2C-A/D, N540-24Q8L2DD-SYS, N540-FH-AGG-SYS, N540X-16Z8Q2C-D, and N540-FH-CSR-SYS variants is available along with the software image in NCS540l-docs-7.8.1.tar file.

The upgrade document for N540X-4Z14G2Q-A/D, N540X-8Z16G-SYS-A/D, N540-6Z14S-SYS-D, and N540X-6Z18G-SYS-A/D variants is available along with the software image in NCS540l-aarch64-docs-7.8.1.tar file.


Note


Quad configurations will be lost when you perform a software downgrade on Cisco NCS 540 Routers that support quad configurations from IOS XR Release 7.5.1 onwards to a release prior to IOS XR Release 7.5.1 due to a non-backward compatibility change. The lost configuration can be applied manually after the downgrade.


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.
