Cisco IOS XR Software running on the Cisco CRS 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.
- 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), Resource Reservation Protocol (RSVP), Label Distribution Protocol (LDP), Virtual Private LAN Service (VPLS), Layer 2 Virtual Private Network (L2VPN), 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, and Bidirectional Protocol Independent Multicast (BIDIR-PIM).
- Quality of Service (QoS)—This supports QoS mechanisms including policing, marking, queuing, random and hard traffic dropping, and shaping. Additionally, Cisco IOS XR Software also supports modular QoS command-line interface (MQC). MQC is used to configure QoS features.
- 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 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, BGP, and OSPF, and nonstop forwarding (NSF).
- Multicast service delivery in SP NGN—MVPNv4 support carries multicast traffic over an ISP MPLS core network.
- IPv6 Provider Edge Router support for IPv6 applications—This delivers IPv6 traffic over an IPv4/MPLS core with IPv6 provider edge router (6PE) support.
- IPv6 VPN over MPLS (6VPE) support—This delivers IPv6 VPN over MPLS (IPv6) VPN traffic over an IPv4 or MPLS core with 6VPE support.
- IPv6 VPN over IP —This delivers IPv6 VPN over IP traffic.
NoteIPv6 VPN over MPLS and IPv6 VPN over IP won't co-exist
- Carrier Grade Network Address Translation (CGN)—This enables services providers to execute orderly transitions to IPv6 through mixed IPv4 and IPv6 networks. CGN provides address family translation but is not limited to just translation within one address family. CGN delivers a comprehensive solution suite for IP address management and IPv6 transition.
- Enhanced core competencies:
- IP fast convergence with Fast reroute (FRR) support for intermediate System-to-Intermediate System (IS-IS) and OSPF
- Traffic engineering support for unequal load balancing
- Traffic engineering over generic routing encapsulation (GRE) tunnel interfaces—LDP, L2VPN, and L3VPN over TE over GRE are supported. VPN routes over TE and over GRE, require a labelled path for path resolution
- VRF support for GRE tunnel interfaces—This support includes GRE tunnel interfaces under a VRF, however the GRE tunnel source and destination are in the global table
- RSVP support over GRE tunnels
- Path Computation Element (PCE) capability for traffic engineering

Determining Your Software Version
Procedure
NoteP image is discontinued from Cisco IOS XR Software Release 4.2 onwards. For more information about this, see the discontinuation of P image for Cisco CRS in Cisco IOS XR Software Release 4.2 and later at
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/routers/ps5763/product_bulletin_c25-663499.html.
To 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
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 IOS XR Routing Configuration Guide for the Cisco CRS Router.
Bidirectional Forwarding Detection over Logical Bundle
The Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) over Logical Bundle feature implements and deploys BFD over bundle interfaces based on RFC 5880. The BFD over Logical Bundle (BLB) feature replaces the BVLAN feature and resolves certain interoperability issues with other platforms that run BFD over bundle interface in pure RFC5880 fashion. These platforms include products of other vendors, as well as other Cisco products running Cisco IOS or Cisco Nexus OS software.
BLB is a multipath (MP) single-hop session. BLB requires limited knowledge of the bundle interfaces on which the sessions run; this is because BFD treats the bundle as one big pipe. To function, BLB requires only information about IP addresses, interface types, and caps on bundle interfaces. Information such as list of bundle members, member states, and configured minimum or maximum bundle links are not required.
BLB is supported on IPv4 address, IPv6 global address, and IPv6 link-local address.
For more information on BFD over Logical Bundle, refer the Configuring Bidirectional Forwarding Detection chapter in Cisco IOS XR Routing Configuration Guide for the Cisco CRS Router. For complete command reference of the BFD commands, see the Bidirectional Forwarding Detection Commands chapter in the Cisco IOS XR Routing Command Reference for the Cisco CRS Router.
Support for 6PE/6VPE over L2TPv3
The 6PE/6VPE over L2TPv3 feature supports native IPv6 (6PE) and IPv6 VPN services (6VPE) (described in RFC 2547) over L2TPv3 tunnels across an IPv4 core network. The 6PE/6VPE over L2TPv3 feature is supported for label, IPv6 VPN (6VPE) and 6PE traffic.
For more information on configuring L2TPv3, see the Implementing Layer 2 Tunnel Protocol Version 3 module in the Cisco IOS XR Virtual Private Network Configuration Guide for the Cisco CRS 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.
For more information about the MPLS TE end-to-end path protection feature, see the Cisco IOS XR MPLS Configuration Guide for the Cisco CRS Router and Cisco IOS XR MPLS Command Reference for the Cisco CRS Router.
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 IOS XR MPLS Configuration Guide for the Cisco CRS Router and Cisco IOS XR MPLS Command Reference for the Cisco CRS Router.
Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP)
The Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) is a device discovery protocol that runs over Layer 2 (the Data Link layer) on all Cisco-manufactured devices (routers, bridges, access servers, and switches). CDP allows network management applications to automatically discover and learn about other Cisco devices connected to the network.
To support non-Cisco devices and to allow for interoperability between other devices, the Cisco CRS Router also supports the IEEE 802.1AB LLDP. LLDP is also a neighbor discovery protocol that is used for network devices to advertise information about themselves to other devices on the network. This protocol runs over the Data Link Layer, which allows two systems running different network layer protocols to learn about each other.
LLDP supports a set of attributes that it uses to learn information about neighbor devices. These attributes have a defined format known as a Type-Length-Value (TLV). LLDP supported devices can use TLVs to receive and send information to their neighbors. Details such as configuration information, device capabilities, and device identity can be advertised using this protocol.
For more information about the LLDP feature, see the Cisco IOS XR Interface and Hardware Component Configuration Guide for the Cisco CRS Router.
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 IOS XR IP Addresses and Services Configuration Guide for the Cisco CRS Router.
GTP Tunnel Load Balancing
GPRS Tunneling Protocol (GTP) is used mainly to deliver mobile data on wireless networks via Cisco CRS Router as core router. When two routers carrying GTP traffic are connected with link bundling, the traffic is required to be distributed evenly between all bundle members. You can use the bundle-hash command in EXEC mode to verify that the interface selected within the bundle for load balancing matches with the output from the bundle-hash command.
When two routers carrying GTP traffic are connected with equal-cost multi-path (ECMP) between them, you can use the sh cef exact-route command in EXEC mode to verify the interface selected for load balancing.
To achieve load balancing, Cisco CRS router uses 7-tuple load balancing mechanism which takes account of source IP, destination IP, router-id, ingress interface, protocol, L4 source and destination port (if traffic is TCP or UDP) fields from the packet. But for GTP traffic, limited number of unique values for these fields restrict the equal distribution of traffic load on tunnel.
For more information about GTP tunnel load balancing feature, see the Implementing Cisco Express Forwarding module in the Cisco IOS XR IP Addresses and Services Configuration Guide for the Cisco CRS Router
Video Monitoring
Poor video experience is a major cause for concern among service providers in terms of service costs and loss of revenue. To avoid the service costs of help desk time, NOC (network operation center) troubleshooting resources, and truck rolls, the capability of monitoring video traffic is essential. On Cisco IOS XR software, problems in video flows can be easily diagnosed by video monitoring.
For more information about the video monitoring feature, see the Implementing Video Monitoring module in the Cisco IOS XR IP Addresses and Services Configuration Guide for the Cisco CRS Router.
Updating Software Images Without a Router Reload
In-service software upgrade (ISSU) is a user initiated and controlled process that upgrades a stateful switchover/nonstop forwarding (SSO/NSF)-capable Cisco IOS XR image from a lower to a higher version, or installs ISSU software maintenance updates (SMUs). ISSU upgrades a SSO/NSF-capable image with minimal downtime, degradation of service, or loss of packets.
NoteISSU is supported on Cisco CRS single-shelf systems only.
ISSU involves a route processor (RP) switchover followed by line card upgrades performed via an ISSU minimum disruption restart (MDR) [iMDR]. ISSU consists of three phases:
- Load is the first phase of the ISSU process. The new image is downloaded to all nodes in the router. The new image is checked for compatibility to ensure the router can be upgraded. If the image is found to be incompatible, or an outage is warranted, you are notified. Standby RPs and shelf controllers (SCs) are reloaded with the new version of the software. Each fabric card is also reloaded with the new software one at a time to minimize the impact to traffic. Each plane is brought down, fabric cards in this plane are reloaded with the new image and then the plane is added back before proceeding to the next plane. At the end of this stage, all standby nodes are running the new software and all active nodes (including all line cards) are still running the original software images. Any abort of the upgrade process during the load phase, either intentional (user abort) or due to failures, results in a hitless rollback and each standby/upgraded node is reloaded with the original software. The load phase is completed once all standby nodes are ISSU-ready.
- Run is the second phase of the ISSU process. Each RP/SC pair completes an active to standby switchover. In parallel, each line card undergoes an iMDR to complete the software upgrade. Any abort of the upgrade process during the run phase results in a router reload with the original software. The ISSU run phase is completed once all iMDR and switchover operations are completed.
- Complete is the final step of the ISSU process. This concludes the ISSU process and the new software is running on all nodes in the system. Since this is the conclusion of the ISSU process, the system cannot be reverted back to the original software from this point onwards.
The ISSU process can be performed in prompted mode, to ensure and verify that there is no degradation of the service throughout the process. Or the ISSU process can be performed unprompted, where the phases are executed automatically with no user intervention.
ISSU Release Information
For Cisco IOS XR Release 4.2.3, only Software Maintenance Upgrades (SMUs) that are identified and tagged as ISSU SMUs can be activated using ISSU.
NoteOnly an SMU marked as ISSU can be activated using ISSU.
This table provides information regarding hardware not supported by the ISSU process in Cisco IOS XR Release 4.2.3.

During the ISSU orchestration (from the load process till the complete process), ISSU disables all unsupported line cards, SPAs and service engine cards (CGSEs) and holds them in the MBI run state. After the ISSU process is complete, the unsupported line cards, SPAs and CGSEs boot with the new software.
CautionIf the users have DRPs (Distributed Route Processors) in the router, then they must shut down the DRPs manually to start ISSU. If this is not done, ISSU is aborted. Also, SDR configurations must be avoided or removed before starting ISSU.
An SMU delivers a software change to the user in the least possible time. Prior to ISSU support, SMU installations resulted in either restart of one or more processes, or reload of one or more nodes. ISSU minimizes the operational impact that a user experiences. As ISSU does not support software downgrade, SMU upgrades installed using ISSU can only be uninstalled by means of parallel reload method.
To perform an ISSU SMU upgrade, use the issu keyword with the install activate command. There are three types of SMUs:
- ISSU SMU—This is installed using the ISSU method. These SMUs can also be installed using the parallel reload method by omitting the issu keyword in the install activate command.
- Reload SMU—This SMU requires parallel reloads during its installation.
- Restart SMU—This SMU requires process restarts during its installation.
The type of SMU can be identified by viewing output of the show install pie-info pie detail command. ISSU SMUs are identified by ISSU (quick) warm-reload in the Restart information field.

ISSU cannot be used to activate parallel-process-restart SMUs. However, if the user wants to install both parallel-process-restart and ISSU SMUs, the following two options are provided:
- Use parallel-reload to install the SMUs.
- Install the parallel-process-restart SMU(s) as a first operation, and then install the ISSU SMU(s) as a separate operation.
You can use the following commands outside the maintenance window since there is no traffic impact:
- install add Example: install add tftp://223.255.254.254/hfr-px-4.2.3.CSCzz99999.pie
- install activate—This command is used to initiate the ISSU and specify the prompt mode. Example: install activate id 1 issu prompt-level all issu
It is recommend to use the following command within the maintenance window in run phase:
- ISSU Run Phase Example: install operation 70 run
- ISSU Complete Phase Example: install operation 70 complete
Available ISSU process syslog events are:
SMU Installation Combinations
The three types of maintenance upgrades (SMUs), process restart SMUs, ISSU SMUs, and reload SMUs, can be combined in various combinations in an upgrade procedure. Not all combinations of SMUs can be installed in one step. This table lists the installation behavior when the SMU activation is done both with and without the issu keyword:
SMU Type With issu Keyword Without issu Keyword Restart SMU User is prompted to continue operation as Parallel Process Restart
Parallel Process Restart ISSU SMU In-service upgrade
Parallel Reload Reload SMU User is prompted to continue operation as Parallel Reload
Parallel Reload Restart and ISSU SMUs Not supported, but allowed. The recommended procedure is to install the SMUs in two steps: first install the restart SMUs using the Parallel Process Restart method, then perform the in-service upgrade of the ISSU SMUs.
Parallel Reload ISSU and Reload SMUs User is prompted to continue the operation as a Parallel Reload
Parallel Reload Restart, ISSU and Reload SMUs User is prompted to continue operation as a Parallel Reload
Parallel Reload DDoS Mitigation Support on CGSE
Threat Management System (TMS) software is ported to the Cisco Carrier Grade Services Engine (CGSE) to mitigate the attacks, and to send clean traffic back to the targeted host or network. The Cisco CGSE is a single-slot module supported on all models of Cisco's proven high-end carrier-class routing system: CRS-1 and CRS-3. CGSE offers carrier-class performance and scale in support of various applications and services.
For more information on Implementing DDoS Mitigation Support on CGSE, refer to the Implementing DDoS Mitigation Support on CGSE chapter in the Cisco IOS XR System Security Configuration Guide for the Cisco CRS Router.

Hardware Features Introduced in Cisco IOS XR Software Release 4.2.3 for Cisco CRS Router
The following hardware features were introduced in Cisco IOS XR Software Release 4.2.3 on the Cisco CRS Router:
- 1-port 100-GE IPoDWDM PLIM Cisco IOS XR Software Release 4.2.3 introduces support for the new Cisco 1-port 100-GE IPoDWDM PLIM on the Cisco CRS Router. The 1-port 100-GE DWDM PLIM supports a DWDM optics module.
- 4-port 40-GE OTU3 CFP PLIM Cisco IOS XR Software Release 4.2.3 introduces support for the new Cisco 4-port 40-GE OTU3 CFP PLIM on the Cisco CRS Router. The 4-port 40-GE OTU3 CFP PLIM supports up to four 40-Gigabit Ethernet C Form-factor Pluggable (CFP) optics modules. The 4-port 40-GE OTU3 CFP PLIM supports the following types of CFP optical transceiver modules:
- 2-port 40-GE OTU3 CFP PLIM Cisco IOS XR Software Release 4.2.3 introduces support for the new Cisco 2-port 40-GE OTU3 CFP PLIM on the Cisco CRS Router. The 2-port 40-GE OTU3 CFP PLIM supports up to two 40-Gigabit Ethernet C Form-factor Pluggable (CFP) optics modules. The 2-port 40-GE OTU3 CFP PLIM supports the following types of CFP optical transceiver modules:
For more general hardware information about the new Cisco 1-port 100-GE IPoDWDM PLIM, the new Cisco 4-port 40-GE OTU3 CFP PLIM, the new Cisco 2-port 40-GE OTU3 CFP PLIM, the CFP-40G-LR4, CFP-40G-FR. and CFP-40G-SR4CFP optical transceivers, and the new Cisco Tunable Optics feature, refer to the Cisco CRS Carrier Routing System Ethernet Physical Layer Interface Module Installation Note online.
Limitations
The 2-port 40-GE OTU3 CFP PLIM, the 4-port 40-GE OTU3 CFP PLIM, and the 1-port 100-GE IPoDWDM PLIM are examples of high powered PLIMs. High powered PLIMs are confined to upper slots, but are allowed in lower slots only if another identical PLIM is installed directly above. This restriction applies solely to the standard 16-slot chassis; the 4-slot and 8-slot chassis are excepted.
If you want to fill your chassis with either of these two PLIMs, then the following power management restrictions apply:
The new Cisco Tunable Optics on the Cisco CRS Router support introduced with Cisco IOS XR Software Release 4.2.3 does not support management using SNMP. There is no XML support for tunable optics. Using the controller dwdm command, you can only configure the wavelength. The PID is DWDM-XFP-C and the supported channel range is 3-84. Both LAN and WAN mode are supported. The default wavelength configured is channel 84 and the controller state default is “out-of-service”.
Tunable Optics
Cisco IOS XR Software Release 4.2.3 introduces support for the new Cisco Tunable Optics on the Cisco CRS Router. The new Cisco Tunable Optics on the Cisco CRS Router is a 10-Gbps, long-reach, ITU-compliant, 50-GHz-spaced optical interface using LC connectors supporting 10-Gigabit Ethernet LAN PHY interfaces tunable across 82 adjacent 50-GHz wavelengths, enabling support for C-Band DWDM networks.
The new Cisco Tunable Optics on the Cisco CRS Router are supported on the following PLIMs:
To make any configuration on dwdm XFP we need to change the admin-state to "out-of-service" or "maintenance". We cannot configure anything till XFP holds "in-service" state.
For new Cisco Tunable Optics on the Cisco CRS Router configuration and command information, refer to the controller dwdm information in the Cisco IOS XR Interface and Hardware Component Command Reference for the Cisco CRS Router, Release 4.2.x and the Cisco IOS XR Interface and Hardware Component Configuration Guide for the Cisco CRS Router, Release 4.2.x online.
For more general hardware information about the new Cisco 1-port 100-GE IPoDWDM PLIM, the new Cisco 4-port 40-GE OTU3 CFP PLIM, the new Cisco 2-port 40-GE OTU3 CFP PLIM, the CFP-40G-LR4, CFP-40G-FR. and CFP-40G-SR4CFP optical transceivers, and the new Cisco Tunable Optics feature, refer to the,Cisco CRS Carrier Routing System Ethernet Physical Layer Interface Module Installation Note online.
Important Notes on Cisco IOS XR Software and Cisco CRS Router
- Default timestamp setting—The timestamp prompt that precedes console output is enabled by default. To disable the timestamp prompt, use the no service timestamp command. For more information, refer to the Cisco IOS XR System Management Command Reference for the Cisco CRS Router .
- 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.
- Card fan controller, and RSP removal—For all card removal and replacement (including fabric cards, line cards, fan controller, and RSP) follow the instructions provided by Cisco to avoid impact to traffic. See the Cisco IOS XR Getting Started Guide for the Cisco CRS Routerfor 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 maximum for your purpose.
- mpls traffic engineering igp-intact command—This command must be used only when policy based tunnel selection is configured for all tunnels originating on the device. This CLI needs to be turned on under IGP (OSPF/ISIS) under the respective AFI.
- The following TE Path option attribute commands are not supported on the Cisco CRS-1 Series Router:
- BFD IPv6 UDP Checksum Calculation—In Cisco IOS XR Software Release 3.9, you turn the BFD IPv6 UDP checksum calculation on and off:
- To disable the BFD IPv6 UDP checksum calculation:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)#bfd RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bfd)#ipv6 checksum disable RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bfd)#end- To enable BFD IPv6 UDP checksum calculation:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)#bfd RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bfd)#no ipv6 checksum disable RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bfd)#end- On upgrading Cisco IOS XR Software from 3.6.2 to 4.0.0 the MAC address assigned to physical interfaces changes. This is required because prior to Cisco IOS XR Software Release 3.8.4 the MAC address assigned to the bundle interface was taken from the first member's MAC address. If this bundle member is removed from the bundle, the bundle gets a new MAC address, which results in traffic loss due to ARP resolution. Beginning in Cisco IOS XR Software Release 3.8.4, a pool of MAC addresses are assigned to the bundle interfaces by the bundlemgr process during bundle interface creation.
- Deactivation of os-mbi dependent (Nonreload) SMU fails—Backing out the non reload os-mbi SMU fails because deactivation runs out of memory (activation did not release some memory, which stayed at 38 MB). This failure to activate or deactivate the SMU due to insufficient SP resources impacts SP cards on CRS.
- When configuring the Label Distribution Protocol (LDP) graceful restart (GR) process in a network with multiple [link and/or targeted] LDP hello adjacencies with the same neighbor, make sure that GR is activated on the session before any hello adjacency times out due to neighbor control plane failures. One way of achieving this is by configuring a lower session hold time between neighbors such that session time out always occurs before hello adjacency can time out. Cisco recommends setting LDP session hold time using the following formula: LDP session hold time <= (Hello hold time - Hello interval) * 3 This means that for default values of 15/5 seconds respectively for the link Hello hold time and the Hello interval, the LDP session hold time should be set to 30 seconds or less. For more information, refer to the Implementing MPLS Label Distribution Protocol on Cisco IOS XR Software section of the Cisco IOS XR MPLS Configuration Guide for the Cisco CRS Router.

DWDM Configuration Management
NoteThis section describes the new DWDM configuration requirements in Cisco IOS XR 3.9.0 and later releases. It does not describe all updates to the DWDM feature. For more information about DWDM configuration, refer to the Configuring Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing Controllers on Cisco IOS XR Software module in the Cisco IOS XR Interface and Hardware Component Configuration Guide for the Cisco CRS Router.
Cisco IOS XR Software Release 3.9.0 introduced new commands in addition to an important change to the default laser state for all of the DWDM physical layer interface modules (PLIMs) supported on the Cisco CRS-1 and CRS-3 routers, which impacts the required configuration to support those cards.
This change affects all models of the following hardware on the Cisco CRS-1 router:
This change affects all models of the following hardware on the Cisco CRS-3 router:
- Cisco 1-Port 100GE OTU4 IPoDWDM PLIM
- Cisco 4-Port 40-GE OTU3 OTN/LAN PLIM
- Cisco 2-Port 40-GE OTU3 OTN/LAN PLIM
The g709 fec high-gain and g709 fec long-haul commands are added under DWDM configuration to configure the new high-gain FEC mode and long-haul FEC mode for Cisco 1-Port 100GE OTU4 IPoDWDM PLIM.
The following is an example of configuring the g709 fec high-gain command under DWDM configuration to configure the new high-gain FEC mode:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router# configure RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# controller dwdm <> RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# g709 fec high-gain RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# commitThe following is an example of configuring the g709 fec long-haul command under DWDM configuration to configure the new long-haul FEC mode:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router# configure RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# g709 fec long-haul RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# commit

Important DWDM Changes in Cisco IOS XR Software Release 3.9.0 and Later Releases
- The laser off and shutdown (DWDM) commands are replaced by the admin-state-out-of-service command.
- The default state of the laser has changed from "On" to "Off" for all PLIMs. Therefore, the laser for all DWDM controllers must explicitly be turned on using the admin-state in-service command in DWDM configuration mode
Configuration Examples in Cisco IOS XR Software Release 3.9.0 and Later Releases
This section provides configuration examples for turning on and off the laser on a DWDM PLIM.
Turning On the Laser: Example
NoteThis is a required configuration beginning in Cisco IOS XR Software Release 3.9.0. The DWDM PLIMs will not operate without this configuration.
The following example shows how to turn on the laser and place a DWDM port in In Service (IS) state:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router# configure RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# controller dwdm 0/1/0/1 RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-dwdm)# admin-state in-service RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-dwdm)# commitTurning Off the Laser: Example
NoteThis configuration replaces the laser off and shutdown (DWDM) configuration commands.
The following example shows how to turn off the laser, stop all traffic and place a DWDM port in Out of Service (OOS) state:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router# configure RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# controller dwdm 0/1/0/1 RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-dwdm)# admin-state out-of-service RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-dwdm)# commitMinimum Flash Disk Requirements When Upgrading to Release 4.2.3
Cisco IOS XR Software Release 4.2.3 requires a minimum of 4-GB Flash Disk. This release also provides an upgrade option to 16-GB Flash Disk. 1-GB and 2-GB Flash Disks are no longer supported with this release. For information on End-of-Sale and End-of-Life Announcement for the Cisco CRS-1 PCMCIA Flash Disk 2 GB, refer to: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/routers/ps5763/end_of_life_notice_c51-681333.html
To upgrade from a 1-GB or 2-GB to a greater Flash Disk, refer to the Flash Disk Upgrade Tasks link on the following Cisco CRS router Installation and Upgrade URL: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps5763/prod_installation_guides_list.html
For Cisco CRS routers, change to FAT32 in order to partition a 4 GB Flash Disk as a 3.5 GB and 0.5 GB partition. This type of partition is recommended in order to create a partition with more than 2 GB of flash space. Disk partitioning has been supported from Cisco IOS XR Software Release 3.6 onwards. For more information, refer to the Turbo Boot Appendix of the Cisco CRS-1 Carrier Routing System to Cisco CRS-3 Carrier Routing System Migration Guide .
Additional upgrade instructions for the Cisco CRS router are available from http://www.cisco.com/web/Cisco_IOS_XR_Software/pdf/ReplacingPCMCIACardOnCRS-1.pdf.
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 contains caveats that are generic to the Cisco IOS XR Software Release 4.2.3 and those specific to the Cisco CRS-1 router and the Cisco CRS-3 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 CRS Router
The following open caveats are specific to the Cisco CRS platform:
- CSCub93111 Basic Description: On Cisco CRS-3 Carrier Routing System Back-to-Back profile with full scale, the metro line cards have low memory available. The services pie takes ~90MB memory which is not required on these cards. Symptom: Cisco CRS-3 Carrier Routing Systems with high scale on Edge profile in Cisco IOS XR Release 4.2.3, may run into memory issues on Cisco CRS-1 Carrier Routing System line cards after loading the services pie. A Wdsysmon messages similar to the following is observed. LC/0/5/CPU0:Sep 21 08:12:51 : wdsysmon[405]: %HA-HA_WD-4-MEMORY_ALARM : Memory threshold crossed: Minor with 198.367MB free. Conditions: Memory issues are observed with Cisco CRS-1 Carrier Routing System line cards on Cisco CRS-3 Carrier Routing System running high scale with edge profile after loading services pie. Workaround: Customers requiring services pie on Cisco CRS-3 Carrier Routing System running edge profile configuration should budget for a 30% reduction in supported release scale.
- CSCuc09108 Basic Description: Unable to upgrade due to SP bootflash reporting wrong memory values. Symptom: Install operations fail on Cisco Carrier Routing Systems (CRS) due to stale space on SP nodes. This issue is more likely to occur on a system that over time has accumulated install operations. Once the issue is encountered, any further install operations are blocked until the stale space is cleaned up. Conditions: Occasionally observed on CRS systems that have a buildup of install operations over time. Workaround: When the issue is hit, enter the sh filesystem bootflash: all location all command in admin mode to get a list of all SP nodes in the system including nodes that indicate stale space. Then enter the bootflash reclaim command in admin mode to reclaim stale space for all nodes in the system.
- CSCub87255 Basic Description: The gsp ping on admin system group fails, check show health gsp. Symptom:
In Multi-chassis systems with seven or more LCCs and two or more FCCs running Cisco IOS XR, Release 4.2.3 and later releases, the show health gsp command output occasionally drops packets for multiple nodes. This behavior is inconsistent. However this does not cause any impact to the functionality of the system. The following example shows the show health gsp command output:Conditions: Observed only on multi-chassis systems with seven or more LCCs and two or more FCCs. Workaround: None.RP/0/RP0/CPU0:a1#show health gsp Wed Oct 24 08:39:30.334 PDT ------------------------------------------------------------ In case this blocks for more than 5 minutes, Ctrl-C to abort and contact gsp team for further triage. ------------------------------------------------------------ 1) Verifying admin transport ... admin transport is healthy. 2) Verifying gsp admin system group ... Gsp ping on group 1 to the following node failed: 6/12/CPU0 1/11/CPU0 7/2/CPU0 6/4/CPU0 2/3/CPU0 Detect a gsp issue. Contact GSP team to triage further RP/0/RP0/CPU0:a1#Upgrading 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.
