Product Field Notice

Cisco publishes Field Notices to notify customers and partners about significant issues in Cisco products that typically require an upgrade, workaround or other user action. For more information, see https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/web/field-notice-overview.html.

We recommend that you review the field notices to determine whether your software or hardware platforms are affected. You can access the field notices from https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/web/tsd-products-field-notice-summary.html#%7Etab-product-categories.

New and Changed Hardware Features

There are no new hardware features for this release.

New and Changed Software Features

Table 1. New Software Features in Cisco ASR 1000 Series Release Cisco IOS XE 17.11.1a

Feature

Description

Bridge Domain VIF Support on Layer 2 EVPN

This enhancement allows configuring a Layer 2 EVPN network to support a Bridge Domain Interface (BDI) to act as an interface to a routing domain. Also, you can attach one or more bridge domain VIF interfaces to an EVPN Layer 2 network.

Deprecation of Weak Ciphers

The minimum Rivest, Shamir, and Adleman (RSA) key pair size must be 2048 bits. The compliance shield on the device must be disabled using the crypto engine compliance shield disable command to use the weak RSA key.

Extending Dynamic Neighbor support for additional address-families

From Cisco IOS XE Dublin 17.11.1a, this feature extends BGP dynamic neighbors support to the following address families:

  • L2VPN EVPN

  • L2VPN VPLS

  • IPv4 FlowSpec

  • IPv4 MDT

  • IPv4 Multicast

  • IPv4 MVPN

  • IPv6 FlowSpec

  • IPv6 Multicast

  • IPv6 MVPN

  • Link-State

  • NSAP

  • RT-filter

MAC and IP Addressing Learning from a Static ARP Alias Entry

This enhancement allows you to configure an EVPN VXLAN network to learn an EVPN MAC address and IP binding from a static Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) alias entry. After learning the MAC address and IP binding, an EVPN Type-2 route is advertised across the EVPN network.

Quantum-Safe Encryption Using Post-Quantum Preshared Keys

This feature implements RFC 8784 and Cisco Secure Key Integration Protocol (SKIP) for quantum-safe encryption of IKEv2 and IPsec packets using Post-quantum Preshared Key (PPK). The PPKs configured manually are referred to as manual PPKs and the PPKs imported from an external key source (KS) using the SKIP protocol are referred to as dynamic PPKs.

This feature is applicable to all IKEv2/IPsec VPNs such as FlexVPN (SVTI-DVTI) and DMVPN, except for GETVPN.

See also Cisco IOS Security Command Reference.

Replication of Broadcast, Unknown-unicast, and Multicast Traffic

With this enhancement, the multi-destination Layer 2 broadcast, unknown-unicast, and multicast (BUM) traffic in an EVPN VXLAN network is replicated through a multicast group in the underlay network and forwarded to all the endpoints of the network.

Revised LISP Commands

The following LISP commands are revised:

Old Command

New Command

show ip/ipv6 lisp all

show lisp service ipv4/ipv6

show lisp site summary show lisp instance-id ipv4/ipv6 server summary

show lisp site rloc

show lisp instance-id ipv4/ipv6 server rloc

TE Metric Support for Segment Routing IS-IS Flex Algo

This feature adds support for TE metric as a metric type for IS-IS Flexible Algorithm. This allows the TE metric, along with IGP and delay metrics, to be used when running shortest path computations.

Upgrade in IPsec Tunnel Scaling for High-End Aggregation

IPsec FlexVPN tunnel scale is improved for ASR1000-RP3 based modular platforms.

Smart Licensing Using Policy Features

Snapshots for Product Activation Key (PAK) licenses

Starting with Cisco IOS XE Dublin 17.11.1a, the PAK-managing library is discontinued and the provision to take a snapshot is no longer available. Software images from Cisco IOS XE Dublin 17.11.1a onwards rely only on the snapshotted information about PAK licenses. For more information, see: Snapshots for PAK Licenses.

If you have a PAK license without a snapshot, and you want to upgrade to Cisco IOS XE Dublin 17.11.1a or a later release, you will have to upgrade twice. First upgrade to one of the releases where the system can take a snapshot of the PAK license and complete DLC, and then again upgrade to the required, later release.
