New and Changed Software Features in Cisco IOS XE 17.15.1a

Table 1. Software Features in Cisco Catalyst 8200 and Cisco Catalyst 8300 Series Edge Platforms

Feature

Description

Absolute Path for HTTP or HTTPS File Transfer

The File Transfer using HTTP or HTTPs feature allows you to copy files from a remote server to your local device, using the copy command.

Cisco Umbrella Scope Credentials

From Cisco IOS XE 17.15.1a, this feature provides the ability to define and configure a new single Cisco Umbrella credential for both Umbrella SIG and Umbrella DNS.

Enhanced NAT Management

From Cisco IOS XE 17.15.1a, the Enhanced NAT Management feature enables network operators to safeguard system performance by limiting NAT translations based on CPU usage with the ip nat translation max-entries cpu command. This feature also enables streamlining NAT synchronization in redundant systems using the ip nat settings redundancy optimized-data-sync command.

Enhancements to Segment Routing over IPv6 Dataplane

From Cisco IOS XE 17.15.1a, Segment Routing over IPv6 dataplane supports these functionalities:

Flexible Gigabit Ethernet and Fibre Channel Services

Cisco Coarse Wavelength-Division Multiplexing (CWDM) Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) solution allows you to deploy scalable Gigabit Ethernet and Fibre Channel services efficiently. These hot-swappable transceivers convert electrical signals into single-mode fiber-optic interfaces and can be connected to CWDM passive optical systems using standard SC connectors

SD-Routing License Management

This release introduces license management support for SD-Routing devices. The supported licensing workflows include license assignment or configuration, license use, and license usage reporting. Depending on the device, these workflows are performed in the Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Manager or on the device.

Configure Multiple WAN Interfaces on Cisco SD-Routing Devices Using a Custom VRF

You can now create a custom VRF that hosts one or more WAN interfaces. You can extend this functionality to create multiple custom VRFs with each VRF hosting multiple WAN interfaces. These WAN interfaces now function as transport interfaces to establish control connections to the Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Manager. Having multiple WAN interfaces ensures that there is resiliency in control connections and routing of transport traffic.

Monitoring SD-Routing Alarms

From Cisco IOS XE 17.15.1a, network administrators can monitor SD-Routing device alarms on Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Manager. This feature enables SD-Routing devices to record and store various alarms generated by control components and routers. For more information, see Cisco SD-Routing Command Reference Guide.

Network-Wide Path Insights on SD-Routing Devices

Network-Wide Path Insights (NWPI) is a tool that allows network administrators to monitor Cisco SD-Routing deployment, identify network and application issues, and optimize the network.

Configure DMVPN for SD-Routing Devices

Cisco DMVPN (Dynamic Multipoint VPN) is a routing technique to build a VPN network with multiple sites without having to statically configure all devices. This technique uses tunnelling protocols and encrypted security measures to create virtual connections, or tunnels, between sites. These tunnels are dynamically created as needed, making them both efficient and cost-effective.

Enabling Flow Level Flexible NetFlow Support for SD-Routing Devices

The Flow-level Flexible NetFlow (FNF) feature allows you to monitor the NetFlow traffic and view all the flow-level FNF data that is captured including application-level statistics.

Seamless Software Upgrade for SD-Routing Devices

This feature explains how to seamlessly upgrade and onboard an existing Cisco Routing device into the Cisco SD-WAN infrastructure.

Note


For Cisco Catalyst 8200 and 8200L Series Edge platforms, if your ROMMON is at a version lower than 17.6(8.1r), you can upgrade the device to IOS XE 17.15.1a using any of the following methods:

  • in bundle mode, manually upgrade the device to Cisco IOS XE 17.12.4. This will auto-upgrade the ROMMON to 17.6(8.1r). You can then upgrade the device to 17.15.1a, OR

  • in bundle mode, manually upgrade the ROMMON to 17.6(8.1r). You can then upgrade the device to 17.15.1a.

  • in install mode, you can upgrade the device to IOS XE 17.15.1a; the ROMMOM is auto-upgraded to the recommended version when the device boots.

For Cisco Catalyst 8300 Series Edge platforms, if your ROMMON is at a version lower than the minimum supported version, manually upgrade the device to Cisco IOS XE 17.12.4. This will auto-upgrade the ROMMON to the recommended version. You can then upgrade the device to 17.15.1a.


Upgrade ROMmon

To upgrade the ROMmon version of your device, use these steps:

  1. Check the existing version of ROMmon by using show rom-monitor r0 command. If you are installing Cisco IOS XE software on a new device, skip this step.

  2. Review Minimum and Recommended ROMmon Releases to identify the recommended version of ROMmon software for the device you plan to upgrade.

  3. Go to https://software.cisco.com/# and download the ROMmon package file.

  4. Copy the ROMmon file to flash drive:
    copy  ftp:// username:password@IP addressROMmon package file flash: 
  5. Upgrade the ROMmon package using the following command:
    upgrade rom-monitor filename bootflash: ROMmon package name all 
  6. Execute reload command to complete the ROMmon upgrade process

  7. Execute show rom-monitor r0 command to ensure the ROMmon software is upgraded.
