Release Notes for Cisco NCS 6000 Series Routers, IOS XR Release 7.1.1


Note


This software release has reached end-of-life status. For more information see the End-of-Life and End-of-Sale Notices.


The Cisco Network Convergence System (NCS) 6000 series router delivers outstanding network agility, packet optical convergence, and a system scale measured in petabits per second. It also facilitates the build-out of next-generation core to:

  • support elastic capacity at the lowest total ownership cost

  • deliver high-bandwidth mobile, video, and cloud services

Running the Cisco IOS XR operating system, Cisco's innovative virtualized operating environment, the Cisco NCS 6000 series router advances the concept of distributed routing and virtualization. With Cisco Virtualized IOS XR, the Cisco NCS 6000 series router brings new levels of programmability and virtualization to:

  • enhance application service offerings

  • increase provisioning speed

  • optimize network economics

The Cisco NCS 6000 series router is engineered for environmental efficiency, with the use of adaptable power consumption. The Cisco NCS 6000 series router is powered by the Cisco nPower Network Processor Units (NPU). These technologies aid the Cisco NCS 6000 series router to achieve the lowest carbon footprint in service provider routing.

The Cisco NCS 6008 router, part of the Cisco NCS 6000 series routers, is the next-generation core routing system that provides industry-leading 8 Tbps of full-duplex network bandwidth through single chassis with eight line cards per chassis.

The Cisco NCS 6008 router runs on Cisco IOS XR software with Linux as the underlying host operating system. A Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) hypervisor provides a virtualized environment to independently run system administration and routing functions on separate virtual machines. This provision makes the new system versatile and robust, and provides immense flexibility for future expansion without the need for a complete system overhaul.

A multi-slice architecture of line cards enables the system to be configured in a mixed operating mode, simultaneously supporting traffic at 10 Gbps and 100 Gbps on slice-level granularity.

For a list of software caveats that apply to this Release, see the Caveats section. The caveats are updated for every release and are described at http://www.cisco.com.

What's New in Release

Cisco is continuously enhancing the product with every release and this section covers a brief description of key features and enhancements. It also includes links to detailed documentation, where available.

Software

Seamless Bidirectional Forwarding Detection

Bidirectional forwarding detection (BFD) provides low-overhead, short-duration detection of failures in the path between adjacent forwarding engines. BFD allows a single mechanism to be used for failure detection over any media and at any protocol layer, with a wide range of detection times and overhead.

In BFD, each end of the connection maintains a BFD state and transmits packets periodically over a forwarding path. Seamless BFD (SBFD) is unidirectional, resulting in faster session activation. The BFD state and client context is maintained on the head-end (initiator) only. The tail-end (reflector) validates the BFD packet and responds, so there’s no need to maintain the BFD state on the tail-end.

For more information, see the Segment Routing Configuration Guide for Cisco NCS 6000 Series Routers.

Segment Routing Traffic Matrix Collection for Telemetry

This feature introduces support for enabling the Segment Routing Traffic Matrix (SR-TM) and the corresponding model-driven streaming Telemetry paths to export SR-TM statistics.

For more information about streaming model-driven telemetry data, see Telemetry Configuration Guide for Cisco NCS 6000 Series Routers.

For more information about SR-TM, see the Segment Routing Configuration Guide for Cisco NCS 6000 Series Aggregation Services Routers.

Segment Routing for Flexible Algorithm

Segment Routing (SR) allows a flexible definition of end-to-end paths within IGP topologies by encoding paths as sequences of topological sub-paths, called segments. It also defines an algorithm that defines how the path is computed and provides a way to associate prefix-SID with an algorithm. This allows IGPs to compute the path based on various algorithms and forward the traffic on such a path using the algorithm-specific segments. No additional segments are required for traffic to stay on the computed paths as in the case of the SR-TE.

For more information, see the Segment Routing Configuration Guide for Cisco NCS 6000 Series Aggregation Services Routers.

ACL support on CSI interface

Secure domain routers (SDRs) are a means of carving multi-tenants of a single physical system into multiple logically separated routers. The software, the configurations, the protocols, and the routing tables, which are assigned, are unique to a particular SDR. Other functions, such as chassis-control and switch fabric, are shared with the rest of the system. This virtual interface that connects two SDRs to each other is known as cross SDR interconnect (CSI) interface. This feature enables the configuration of ACLs on CSI interfaces. Therefore, ingress traffic for SDRs can be filtered allowing better control and segregation of SDR traffic.

For more information about the feature, see the chapter Implementing Access Lists and Prefix Lists in the IP Addresses and Services Configuration Guide for Cisco NCS 6000 Series Routers and the chapter Configuring Collapsed Forwarding in the System Management Configuration Guide for Cisco NCS 6000 Series Routers.

MTU Configuration On a Layer-2 CSI-Ether Interface

MTU value can be configured for a CSI-Ether interface. If sub interfaces are created within the parent interface, they inherit the MTU configured on the parent interface.

For information on how to configure MTU value on a CSI-Ether interface, see the Configuring Collapsed Forwarding chapter in the System Management Configuration Guide for Cisco NCS 6000 Series Routers.

Add IPv6 Loop-Free Alternate Support

The Add IPv6 Loop-Free Alternate Support feature adds LFA support for IPv6 addresses.

For more information about the feature, see the chapter Implementing Implementing IP Fast Reroute Loop-Free Alternate in the Routing Configuration Guide for Cisco NCS 6000 Series Routers.

Layer 2 Support for LI and QoS on Pseudowire Headend Interface

The Layer 2 Support for LI and QoS on Pseudowire Headend Interface feature allows you to enable Lawful Intercept (LI) and Quality of Service (QoS) on PWHE L2 subinterface.

The Lawful Intercept (LI) feature supports service providers in meeting the requirements of law enforcement agencies to provide the ability to intercept Voice-over-Internet protocol (VoIP) or data traffic going through the edge routers. This feature allows you to replicate and forward intercepted packets to the mediation device (MD).

Quality of Service (QoS) is the technique of prioritizing traffic flows and providing preferential forwarding for higher-priority packets. You can apply only two-level hierarchical policy over the PWHE interface. The top-level parent policy with a default class and configured with shape or police rate in absolute bandwidth. Use this absolute rate as reference for the child policy where you specify actual match or action.

For more information about this feature, see the Configuring Collapsed Forwarding chapter in the System Management Configuration Guide for Cisco NCS 6000 Series Routers.

Multiple MPLS-TE Tunnel End Points

From the 7.0.1 release, with IS-IS as the IGP, multiple MPLS-TE tunnel end points can be enabled on an LER. You can configure a maximum of 63 IPv4 addresses, or 15 IPv6 addresses on an LER.

IS-IS autoroute announce function is enhanced to redirect traffic from an MPLS-TE tunnel source IP address prefix to a matching IP address of an MPLS-TE tunnel destination interface.

For information on how to use the enhanced IS-IS autoroute announce function, see the Implementing MPLS TE chapter in the MPLS Configuration Guide for Cisco NCS 6000 Series Routers.

MVPN GRE over PWHE with CSI – IPv6 support.

MVPN GRE over PWHE is supported on CSI interface. From this release both IPv4 and IPv6 are supported on PE-CE multicast over PWHE interfaces.

For more information on MVPN GRE over PWHE, see the Implementing Multicast Routing chapter in the Multicast Configuration Guide for the Cisco NCS 6000 Series Routers, Release 7.1.x

Pay As You Grow (PAYG) on 20-Port 100-Gbps Line Cards

The pricing benefits and operational flexibility provided by the Pay As You Grow (PAYG) licensing model has been extended to NCS 6000 20-Port 100-Gbps (2T) line cards.

Following are the new PAYG license hardware PIDs introduced in this release:

  • NC6-10/20X100G-L-C: NCS 6000 Series 20-port 100-Gbps Label Switch Router Line Card with 10 ports enabled

  • NC6-10/20X100G-M: NCS 6000 Series 20-port 100-Gbps Multiservice Line Card with 10 ports enabled

For enabling additional ports, use the following PAYG license software PIDs:

  • S-NC6-2T-PG-200-L=: Software license for 2x100GE ports on the NC6-10/20X100G-L-C Line Card

  • S-NC6-2T-PG-200-M=: Software license for 2x100GE ports on the NC6-10/20X100G-M Line Card

For more information about the NCS 6000 line cards, see Cisco Network Convergence System 6000 Series Routers Hardware Installation Guide.

Policy-Based Tunnel Selection for SR-TE Policy

Policy-Based Tunnel Selection (PBTS) is a mechanism that lets you direct traffic into specific SR-TE policies based on different classification criteria. PBTS benefits Internet service providers (ISPs) that carry voice and data traffic through their networks, who want to route this traffic to provide optimized voice service. PBTS works by selecting SR-TE policies based on the classification criteria of the incoming packets, which are based on the IP precedence, experimental (EXP), differentiated services code point (DSCP), or type of service (ToS) field in the packet.

For more information, see the "Configure SR-TE Policies" chapter in the Segment Routing Configuration Guide for Cisco NCS 6000 Series Aggregation Services Routers.

Minimum Firmware Requirement

The following table provides the procedures and resources for minimum firmware requirements:

After completing an Return Material Authorization (RMA), upgrade the firmware as per the matrix in this link, which also links to PDF copies of the IOS XR Firmware Upgrade Guides

http://www.cisco.com/web/Cisco_IOS_XR_Software/index.html

For the upgrade procedure, see the Performing System Upgrade and Installing Feature Packages chapter of the Cisco NCS 6008 System Setup and Software Installation Guide

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps13132/tsd_products_support_series_home.html

Other Important Information

  • To uniquely identify a line card as a Cisco device, all Cisco IOS XR supported platforms are shipped with a non-tamper-able Trust Anchor Module (TAM) in the hardware. The Cisco Trust Anchor module (TAm) helps verify that Cisco hardware is authentic and provides additional security services. This feature is supported from Cisco IOS XR Release 7.1.x on Cisco NCS 6000 platform.

  • From Release 6.0, the onePK toolkit is not supported.

  • Country-specific laws, regulations, and licenses—In certain countries, use of these products may be prohibited and subject to laws, regulations, or licenses, including requirements applicable to the use of the products under telecommunications and other laws and regulations; customers must comply with all such applicable laws in the countries in which they intend to use the products.

  • BFD limitation—If the current PPS (packets per second) is more than 7000 packets per line card (LC) then on upgrading the Cisco IOS XR software to release 5.2.5 or later the BFD sessions may shut down. You can avoid this scenario by adjusting the PPS per LC so that the load on a LC does not exceed more than 7000 PPS.

    To know the current load (PPS value), use show bfd summary command. Use the bfd address-family ipv4 minimum-interval command to configure BFD timer.

  • Field replacable unit (FRU) removal—For all card removal and replacement (including fabric cards, line cards, fan controller, and RP) follow the instructions provided by Cisco to avoid impact to traffic. See the Cisco Network Convergence System 6000 Series Routers Hardware Installation Guide for procedures.

  • Exceeding Cisco testing—If you intend to test beyond the combined maximum configuration tested and published by Cisco, contact your Cisco Technical Support representative to discuss how to engineer a large-scale configuration for your purpose.

    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.
