These release notes describe the features provided on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router running Cisco IOS XR Software Release 4.2.3 and are updated as needed.
For a list of software caveats that apply to the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router running Cisco IOS XR Software Release 4.2.3, see the Caveats section. The caveats are updated for every release and are described at http://www.cisco.com.
Cisco IOS XR Software running on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router provides the following features and benefits:
- IP and Routing—This supports a wide range of IPv4 and IPv6 services and routing protocols such as Border Gateway Protocol (BGP), Routing Information Protocol (RIPv2), Intermediate System-to-Intermediate System (IS-IS), Open Shortest Path First (OSPF), IP Multicast, Routing Policy Language (RPL), Hot Standby Router Protocol (HSRP), and Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) features.
- Ethernet Services—The following Ethernet features are supported:
- Ethernet Virtual Connections (EVCs)
- Flexible VLAN classification
- Flexible VLAN translation
- IEEE bridging
- IEEE 802.1s Multiple Spanning Tree (MST)
- MST Access Gateway
- L2VPN
- Virtual Private LAN Services (VPLS), Hierarchical VPLS (H-VPLS), Virtual Private Wire Service (VPWS), Ethernet over MPLS (EoMPLS), pseudo wire redundancy, and multi segment pseudo wire stitching.
- BGP Prefix Independent Convergence—This provides the ability to converge BGP routes within sub seconds instead of multiple seconds. The Forwarding Information Base (FIB) is updated, independent of a prefix, to converge multiple 100K BGP routes with the occurrence of a single failure. This convergence is applicable to both core and edge failures and with or without MPLS. This fast convergence innovation is unique to Cisco IOS XR Software.
- Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS)—This supports MPLS protocols, including Traffic Engineering (TE) [including TE-FRR and TW Preferred Path], Resource Reservation Protocol (RSVP), Label Distribution Protocol (LDP), Targeted LDP (T-LDP), Differentiated Services (DiffServ)-aware traffic engineering, and Layer 3 Virtual Private Network (L3VPN).
- Multicast—This provides comprehensive IP Multicast software including Source Specific Multicast (SSM) and Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) in Sparse Mode only. The Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router also supports Auto-Rendezvous Point (AutoRP), Multiprotocol BGP (MBGP), Multicast Source Discovery Protocol (MSDP), Internet Group Management Protocol Versions 2 and 3 (IGMPv2 and v3), and IGMPv2 and v3 snooping.
- Quality of Service (QOS)—This supports QoS mechanisms including policing, marking, queuing, random and hard traffic dropping, and shaping. Additionally, Cisco IOS XR supports modular QoS command-line interface (MQC). MQC is used to configure various QoS features on various Cisco platforms, including the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router. Supports the following:
- Manageability—This provides industry-standard management interfaces including modular command-line interface (CLI), Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), and native Extensible Markup Language (XML) interfaces. Includes a comprehensive set of Syslog messages.
- Security—This provides comprehensive network security features including Layer 2 and Layer 3 access control lists (ACLs); routing authentications; Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting (AAA)/Terminal Access Controller Access Control System (TACACS+), Secure Shell (SSH), Management Plane Protection (MPP) for management plane security, and Simple Network Management Protocol version3 (SNMPv3). Control plane protections integrated into line card Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs) include Generalized TTL Security Mechanism (GTSM), RFC 3682, and Dynamic Control Plane Protection (DCPP).
- Availability—This supports rich availability features such as fault containment, fault tolerance, fast switchover, link aggregation, nonstop routing for ISIS, LDP and OSPF, and nonstop forwarding (NSF).

Table 5 Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Supported Software Licenses Software License
Part Number
Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router iVRF License
A9K-IVRF-LIC
Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Per Chassis Advanced Video License
A9K-ADV-VIDEO-LIC
Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Per Line Card Advanced Optical License
A9K-ADV-OPTIC-LIC
Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router L3VPN License, Medium Queue and Low Queue Line Cards
A9K-AIP-LIC-B
Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router L3VPN License, High Queue Line Cards
A9K-AIP-LIC-E
Note that error messages may display if features run without the appropriate licenses installed. For example, when creating or configuring VRF, if the A9K-IVRF-LIC license is not installed before creating a VRF, the following message displays:
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router#LC/0/0/CPU0:Dec 15 17:57:53.653 : rsi_agent[247]: %LICENSE-ASR9K_LICENSE-2-INFRA_VRF_NEEDED : 5 VRF(s) are configured without license A9K-iVRF-LIC in violation of the Software Right To Use Agreement. This feature may be disabled by the system without the appropriate license. Contact Cisco to purchase the license immediately to avoid potential service interruption.
For Cisco license support, please contact your Cisco Sales Representative or Customer Service at 800- 553-NETS (6387) or 408-526-4000. For questions on the program other than ordering, please send e-mail to: cwm-license@cisco.com.
Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregration Services Router Right-To-Use (RTU) Licensing
Here are on-line locations of the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Right-To-Use (RTU) licensing docs:http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/routers/asr9000/hardware/Prodlicense/A9k-AIP-LIC-B.html
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/routers/asr9000/hardware/Prodlicense/A9k-AIP-LIC-E.html
NoteLayer 3 VPNs are only to be used after you have purchased a license. Cisco will enforce the RTU of L3VPNs in follow on releases. You should contact Cisco, or check the release notes for the follow on release before upgrading for directions on how to install the license as part of the upgrade - otherwise the L3VPN feature may be affected.
The activation of VRF capability still requires the use of the appropriate per line card license (A9K-IVRF-LIC / A9K-AIP-LIC-B / A9K-AIP-LIC-E). Please contact your sales representative for more details.
Firmware Support
To check the firmware code supported by the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router, run the show fpd package command in admin mode.
NoteIn upgrading from Release 3.7.3 or earlier releases, you may be expected to do a one-time FPD upgrade for any firmware images that may have changed since the last release. Refer to the documents at http://www.cisco.com/web/Cisco_IOS_XR_Software/index.html for upgrade instructions.

Software Version
ProcedureTo determine the version of Cisco IOS XR Software running on your router, log in to the router and enter the show version command:
Software Features Introduced in Cisco IOS XR Software Release 4.2.3 for Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Service Router
MPLS TE End-to-End Path Protection
Path protection provides an end-to-end failure recovery mechanism for MPLS-TE tunnels. An alternate recovery mechanism is Fast Reroute (FRR), which protects MPLS-TE LSPs only from link and node failures by locally repairing the LSPs at the point of failure. The explicit paths are used to create backup autotunnels. The protected-by keyword is used to configure path protection for an explicit path that is protected by another explicit path.
Co-existence of FRR and path protection is supported; this means FRR and path-protection can be configured on the same tunnel at the same time.
For more information about the MPLS TE end-to-end path protection feature, see the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router MPLS Configuration Guide and Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router MPLS Command Reference.
MPLS P2MP TE Inter-area Enhancements
The MPLS-TE inter-area tunneling feature allows you to establish P2P and P2MP TE tunnels that spans multiple Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) areas and levels, thereby eliminating the requirement that headend and tailend routers reside in a single area. An enhancement to P2MP-TE inter-area allows ABRs to support loose hop ERO expansion to find path to the next ABR until it reaches to the tail-end LSR, without introducing remerge.
For more information about the P2MP TE inter-area enhancements feature, see the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router MPLS Configuration Guide and Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router MPLS Command Reference.
Virtual Routing and Forwarding (vrf) Aware Source Interface for Syslog Transactions
A syslog message contains the IPv4 or IPv6 address of the interface used to exit the router. The virtual routing and forwarding aware source interface enables you to configure syslog packets to contain the IPv4 or IPv6 address of a particular interface for a VRF, regardless of which interface the packet uses to exit the router.
For more information about the vrf aware source interface for syslog transactions feature, see the Implementing VRRP module in the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router IP Addresses and Services Configuration Guide.
BGP Attribute Filtering
The BGP Attribute Filter feature checks integrity of BGP updates in BGP update messages and optimizes reaction when detecting invalid attributes. BGP Update message contains a list of mandatory and optional attributes. These attributes in the update message include MED, LOCAL_PREF, COMMUNITY etc. In some cases, if the attributes are malformed, there is a need to filter these attributes at the receiving end of the router. The BGP Attribute Filter functionality filters the attributes received in the incoming update message. The attribute filter can also be used to filter any attributes that may potentially cause undesirable behavior on the receiving router.
Some of the BGP updates are malformed due to wrong formatting of attributes such as the network layer reachability information (NLRI) or other fields in the update message. These malformed updates, when received, causes undesirable behavior on the receiving routers. Such undesirable behavior may be encountered during update message parsing or during re-advertisement of received NLRIs. In such scenarios, its better to filter these corrupted attributes at the receiving end.
For more information on BGP Attribute Filtering, see the Implementing BGP module in the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Routing Configuration Guide.
IPoDWDM Proactive Protection
Proactive maintenance automatically triggers Forward Error Correction-Fast Re-Route (FEC-FRR). Proactive maintenance requires coordinated maintenance between Layer 0 (L0) and Layer 3 (L3). L0 is the DWDM optical layer. FEC-FRR is an L3 protection mechanism. FEC-FRR detects failures before they happen and corrects errors introduced during transmission or that are due to a degrading signal.
Support for these commands was included on the A9K-1X100GE-SE, A9K-1X100GE-TR, A9K-2X100GE-SE, A9K-2X100GE-TR, as well as on the A9K-MPA-2X40GE and A9K-MPA-1X40GE Modular Port Adaptors(MPAs) which are used in the Mod80 and Mod160 line cards:The status of the proactive protection will be displayed in the show controller dwdm pro-active command. For more information, see the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Interface and Hardware Component Command Reference.
Link Autonegotiation for Ethernet Interfaces
Link autonegotiation ensures that devices that share a link segment are automatically configured with the highest performance mode of interoperation. Use the negotiation auto command in interface configuration mode to enable link autonegotiation on an Ethernet interface. On line card Ethernet interfaces, link autonegotiation is disabled by default. In Release 4.2.3, the negotiation auto and flow-control commands are supported on 1 GigE interfaces.
When you explicitly enable the sending of flow-control pause frames, the value you configured with the flow-control command overrides any autonegotiated value. This prevents a link from coming up if the value you set with the flow-control command conflicts with the allowable settings on the other end of the connection.
For more information, see the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Interfaces and Hardware Component Configuration Guide.
Limitation on ISM Card
Cisco IOS XR Software Release 4.2.3 removes the software limitation that only allowed five ISM cards per Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router chassis.
The following references can be used for more information on Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router and ISM line card installation:

Support for Multiple Integrated Service Module (ISM) Line Cards
Cisco IOS XR Software Release 4.2.3 supports a maximum of six ISM line cards in each Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router chassis. For applications such as NAT44 and DS-Lite, the configuration can be independently applied to each ISM line card.
For NAT-44, a maximum of ten million sessions are supported by each ISM line card.
For DS-Lite, a maximum of twenty million sessions are supported by each ISM line card.
NoteNo additional configuration is required to support multiple ISM line cards.
CLI Enhancements on ISM Line Card
In Cisco IOS XR Software Release 4.2.3, two new commands are introduced on the ISM line card:
- map ip one-to-one To map a single private IP address to a single public IP address, use the map ip one-to-one command in NAT44 configuration mode. To undo this mapping, use the no form of this command. map ip one-to-one no map ip one-to-one Syntax Description This command has no arguments and keywords. Command Default No default behavior or values. Command Modes CGN inside VRF NAT44 configuration mode Command History Usage Guidelines To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes appropriate task IDs. If the user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance. Task ID Example This example shows how to configure one-to-one IP address mapping:

To configure the control word, enter the control-word keyword shown in the following example:
pw-class class1 encapsulation mpls control-word- For configured policer rates of less than 1 Mbps, the actual policer rate can be approximately 10 percent less than the configured rate. For example, for a configured policer rate of 500 kbps, the actual policer rate is 448 kbps due to a granularity round down in hardware.
- In Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Software Release 4.0.0, the minimum configurable logging buffered size has been increased to 307200. Any configuration with a value less than 307200 fails to upgrade to Release 4.0.1.
- dsu mode Command Default— For E3 interfaces on the 4-Port Clear Channel T3/E3 SPA that interoperate with E3 interfaces on a Cisco 10000 Series router, the default data service unit (DSU) mode is digital-link. To change the DSU mode to cisco, configure scrambling.
- Starting from Cisco IOS XR Software Release 4.0.0, the hw-module location <LOC> reload warm command is disabled. As a result, the warm reload feature also has been disabled.
- In Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Software Release 4.1.0, you use the cablelength short command to set a cable length of 655 feet or shorter for a DS1 link on a 4-Port Channelized T1/E1 SPA. The cablelength short command options are listed as follows:
However, when using the cablelength short command on a 4-Port Channelized T1/E1 SPA in Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Software Release 4.1.0, only the 133ft option (for cable lengths from 0 to 133 feet) works. The other values that are greater than 133 feet (266, 399, 533, or 655) all cause the T1 controller to go down. The workaround is to restart the controller after you set the cable length to 266, 399, 533, or 655 feet. The cablelength long command works correctlyRP/0/RSP0/CPU0:vkg_ro1_a(config-t1)#cablelength short ? 133ft 0-133ft 266ft 134-266ft 399ft 267-399ft 533ft 400-533ft 655ft 534-655ft
Caveats
Caveats describe unexpected behavior in Cisco IOS XR Software releases. Severity-1 caveats are the most serious caveats; severity-2 caveats are less serious.
This section lists the caveats for Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Software Release 4.2.3 and the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router platform.
- Cisco IOS XR Caveats
- Caveats Specific to the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router
- Caveats Specific to the ASR 9001 Router
Cisco IOS XR Caveats
The following open caveats apply to Cisco IOS XR Software Release and are not platform specific:
- CSCtt38345 Basic Description: The SNMP duplicate request dropping feature is not working. Symptom: SNMP duplicate request dropping feature is supposed to drop requests from the same NMS and port with the same request ID, and if the number of requests in queue is greater than 20. Conditions: SNMP duplicate request dropping feature is supposed to drop requests from the same NMS and port with the same request ID and if the number of requests in queue is greater than 20. Workaround: None.
- CSCti50227 Basic Description: Not able to modify RPL and delete prefix-set in a single commit. Symptom: When a policy that is attached directly or indirectly to an attach point needs to be modified, a single commit operation cannot be performed when: Workaround: The commit must be performed in two steps:
- CSCub15328 Basic Description: underscore "_" in a RPL regexp does not match the start of a AS-SET segment denoted as {a, b, c, ...}. Symptom: The underscore symbol "_" in an RPL regexp does not match the start of a AS-SET segment denoted as {a, b, c, ...}. Conditions: When an RPL regexp is used in either inbound route-policy or outbound route-policy, the AS-PATH string contains AS-SET segment {a, b, c, ...}. Workaround: Use rpl native as-path semantics such as as-path neighbor-is, as-path originates-from or as-path passes-through instead of the regular expressions. As-Path native semantics are more superior to ios regex. Use of regular expressions is computation intensive since regular expression is stored as a string.
- CSCub98462 Basic Description: Radiusd mem leak occurred while executing all radius related CLI on router, which is used more than 10000 bytes for each and every radius CLI. Symptom: The show radius command triggers memory leak in 'radiusd' on routers with LC nodes, more so on MC (Multi-Chassis) routers than on SC routers. Conditions: The radius is configured on the router. Workaround: Use 'location' option with the show radius command to get statistics from a particular node. On non-BNG platforms (Carrier Routing System, Gigabit Switch Router, Aggregation Service Router) statistics from only dSC/dLRSC nodes are relevant because 'radiusd' that runs on other nodes are not used for non-BNG deployments. Therefore, dSC/dLRSC node-name can be given as input to 'location' option without any loss of functionality (statistics) of the show radius command. Alternately, restart 'radiusd' if heap memory has accumulated.
- CSCuc30874 Basic Description: MGMT fails to resolve NH in ingress LC(0/6/cpu0) if prefix and NH are from different VRF (V500:U31) and imported via export-map. Symptom: Routes imported from another vrf (on another LC) shows as unresolved in cef. Conditions: When prefix (from a vrf on a LC) is exported via export route-policy with additive route-target instead of export route-target configuration to another vrf on another LC. Workaround: Use export route-target configuration to export the routes in stead of route-policy or disable selective vrf download.
Caveats Specific to the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router
The following caveats are specific to the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router platform:
- CSCuc11537 Basic Description: During a negative testing to measure convergence, multi AS BGP failed to switch the packet received MPBGP link. Whenever it receives labelled traffic on MP BGP link, router drops at ingress point. Symptom: In a special scenario where traffic destination is a IP address1/prefix which belongs to a VRF and the nexthop is a labelled path associated with a IPaddress/prefix which also is part of a VRF. In such a situation,Router1 does not push any label(vrf label) on the packet before sending it to Router2. This causes Router2 to fail the lookup since it cannot identify the VRF to look up inside without the VRF label pushed on the packet. The traffic will drop on Router2 because IPaddress1 cannot be found in the global routing table (since its part of a VRF table). Conditions: ASR9000 routers should be running release 4.2.0 or 4.2.1 release. Traffic should be going to an IP address in a VRF which is recursively reachable over a Label nexthop with nexthop being in a VRF as well. Its only applicable to ASR 9000 Ethernet Line Card and ASR 9000 Enhanced Ethernet Line Card based Line Cards. Workaround: None.
- CSCtz94343 Basic Description: Upon trying to initiate imdr, it fails due to ifo_ea error with 30I image. Symptom: imDR fails in presence of satellite configurations on router. Conditions: This condition is observed when a satellite configuration on a router, imdr is configured on a ASR 9000 Enhanced Ethernet Line Card. Workaround: None.
- CSCua51573 Basic Description: For 3 routers topology, Use TE Tunnel as a backup path. When OSPF LFA FRR occurs, all FRR packets dropped due to RESOLVE_UTURNCHECK_FRR_DROP. Symptom: Traffic is dropped under OSPF Basic LFA FRR due to RESOLVE_UTURNCHECK_FRR_DROP. Conditions: This is seen only in a three-router topology with the backup path configured over a TE-Tunnel. Workaround: Don't have a backup path over a TE-tunnel with basic LFA FRR in 4.2.3. This issue will be resolved in a future release-release 4.3.1. The Remote LFA FRR feature support is also planned for release during Release 4.3.1.
Caveats Specific to the ASR 9001 Router
- CSCts82447 Basic Description: attachCon not working. Symptom: After running attachCon, the console will not connect to Line card. The below message is seen on console:
Conditions: This feature is not supported in 4.2.3 as well and will be supported from 4.3.0 onwards. Workaround: Convert AUX port as LC console from RP KSH using the command fill –l 0xd2000198 0x4 0x80000001. To revert back to AUX port, use fill –l 0xd2000198 0x4 0x0. Recovery: None.attachCon is not supported in this release in this chassis typeUpgrading 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. Software packages can be upgraded or downgraded on all supported card types, or on a single card (node).
Software packages are installed from package installation envelope (PIE) files that contain one or more software components.
Refer to Table 1 for a list of the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Software feature set matrix (PIE files) and associated filenames available for the Cisco IOS XR Software Release 4.2.3 supported on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router.

Troubleshooting
Resolving Upgrade File Issues
NoteIn some very rare cases inconsistencies in the content of the internal configuration files can appear. In such situations, to avoid configuration loss during upgrade, the following steps can be optionally done before activating packages:
- Clear the NVGEN cache:
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router# run nvgen -F 1- Create a dummy config commit:
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router# config RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config)# hostname <hostname> RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:rotuer(config)# commit RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config)# end- Force a commit update by using the reload command. Press n when the confirmation prompt appears:
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router# reload Updating Commit Database. Please wait...[OK] Proceed with reload? [confirm]- Press n
In some cases other activity may preclude a reload. The following message may display:
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router# reload Preparing system for backup. This may take a few minutes ............System configuration backup in progress [Retry later]If you receive this message wait and then retry the command after some time.
