Release Notes for Cisco NCS 6000 Series Routers, IOS XR Release 7.1.2


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.


Note


Cisco IOS XR Release 7.1.2 is an Extended Maintenance Release of Cisco IOS XR Release 7.1.1 for Cisco NCS 6000 Series routers. For more details on the Cisco IOS XR release model and associated support, see Guidelines for Cisco IOS XR Software.

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 7.1.2

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

GRE Tunnel Configuration in oc-interfaces Data Model

Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE) Tunnel configuration support is added to oc-interfaces data model. This data model is used to manage network interfaces and subinterfaces.

In this release, oc-interfaces data model supports additional sensor paths for tunnel configuration and state parameters:
  • src

  • dst

  • ttl (time-to-live or hop limit)

  • gre-key

Obtain this data model from Github repository.

See New and Changed Programmability Features.

OCNI BGP Advertised Prefix

OCNI BGP data model has global, neighbor and peer-group containers. Under the neighbor container are the Address Family Identifier (AFI) state-related leaves. Three leaves (sent, installed and advertised prefix count) are related to the prefixes received from and advertised to the neighbor specific to that AFI. The sent count is defined as how many prefixes are sent to the neighbor for a specific AFI.

In the existing implementation, the cumulative count may not display accurate value owing to various conditions such as route-refresh out, policy changes, route-target changes, configuration changes like nexthop-self to name a few.

In this release, BGP walks through the prefix table calculating exactly how many prefixes are advertised for each neighbor. The results are collected in an array, converted and sent to MDT.

Obtain this data model from Github repository.

See New and Changed Programmability Features.

Table Connection Support in OC NI Data Model

The openconfig-network-instance (oc-ni) data model is defined by OpenConfig community. This model defines the network instance concept to model Layer 3 and Layer 2 network instances applicable for services such as L3VPN, L2VPN, and EVPN.

The table-conection container in the oc-ni data model contains policies that dictate how routing information base (RIB) or forwarding information base (FIB) entries are propagated between routing tables.

The leaf list consists of a list of connections between pairs of routing or forwarding tables, the leaking of entries between which is specified by the import policy. A connection connecting a source table to a destination table implies that routes that match the policy specified for the connection are available for the destination protocol to advertise, or match within its policies. It shows the configuration and state parameters that relate to the connection between tables.

The oc-ni data model is available in the Github repository.

See New and Changed Feature Information.

Segment Routing Performance Measurement for Link Delay Using RFC5357 (TWAMP Light) Encoding

This feature introduces support for Two-Way Active Measurement Protocol (TWAMP) Light (RFC5357) for link delay measurement. TWAMP Light adds two-way or round-trip measurement capabilities.

Network performance data such as packet loss, delay and delay variation, and bandwidth utilization is a critical measure for Traffic Engineering (TE). This data provides service providers the characteristics of their networks for performance evaluation that is required to ensure the Service Level Agreements (SLAs). The performance measurement and delay variation feature allows you to measure those metrics and advertise them through IGP extensions as extended TE metrics.

See Link Delay Measurement.

Hardware

No new hardware features are introduced in this release.

Behavior Change Introduced

Behavior change refers to any modification of an existing software feature, configuration, or a command. This release introduces following behavior change:

Logging Format BSD

Cisco IOS XR Release 7.1.2 introduces the command logging format bsd which enables the router to send system log messages to a remote server in BSD (Berkeley Software Distribution) format. This enables systems that are dependent on the BSD format to correctly interpret the log message.

The command, logging format bsd is introduced.

Caveats

Caveats describe unexpected behavior in Cisco IOS XR Software releases. Severity-1 caveats are the most critical caveats; severity-2 caveats are less critical.

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.
