Introduction

The Cisco ASR 901 Series Aggregation Services Router is a cell-site access platform specifically designed to aggregate and transport mixed-generation radio access network (RAN) traffic. The router is used at the cell site edge as a part of a 2G, 3G, or 4G RAN.

The Cisco ASR 901 router helps enable a variety of RAN solutions by extending IP connectivity to devices using Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM), General Packet Radio Service (GPRS), Node Bs using High Speed Packet Access (HSPA) or Long Term Evolution (LTE), base transceiver stations (BTSs) using Enhanced Data Rates for GSM Evolution (EDGE), Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA), CDMA-2000, EVDO, or WiMAX, and other cell-site equipment.

It transparently and efficiently transports cell-site voice, data, and signaling traffic over IP using traditional T1 and E1 circuits, as well as alternative backhaul networks such as Carrier Ethernet and DSL, Ethernet in the First Mile (EFM), and WiMAX. It also supports standards-based Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) Internet protocols over the RAN transport network, including those standardized at the Third-Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) for IP RAN transport. Custom designed for the cell site, the Cisco ASR 901 router features a small form factor, extended operating temperature, and cell-site DC input voltages.

Table 1 lists the Cisco ASR 901 router model versions.

New Software Features in Release 15.3(2)S

The following features are supported from this release:

Configuring Y.1564 to Generate Ethernet Traffic

Y.1564 is an Ethernet service activation or performance test methodology for turning up, installing, and troubleshooting Ethernet-based services. This test methodology allows for complete validation of Ethernet service-level agreements (SLAs) in a single test. Using traffic generator performance profile, you can create the traffic based on your requirements. The network performance like throughput, loss, and availability are analyzed using Layer 2 traffic with various bandwidth profiles.

For more information about this feature, see Configuring Y.1564 for Ethernet Traffic Generation section of the Configuring Ethernet OAM feature guide at the following URL:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/asr_901/Configuration/Guide/oam.html

Ethernet Synthetic Loss Measurement in Y.1731

The Ethernet Synthetic Loss Measurement in Y.1731 feature allows you to measure the Frame Loss Ratio (FLR) in the network, that is, the ratio of frames lost to frames sent, using synthetic frames.

For more information about this feature, see the ITU-T Y.1731 Performance Monitoring feature guide at the following URL: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/asr_901/Configuration/Guide/y1731pm.html

EVC Default Encapsulation

Cisco IOS Release 15.3(2)S introduces support for EVC default encapsulation on the Cisco ASR 901 router. This feature matches and forwards all the ingress traffic on the port. The default service instance on a port is configured using the encapsulation default command.

For more details, see the following URLs:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/asr_901/Configuration/Guide/swevc.html (Configuring Ethernet Virtual Connections)

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/asr_901/Configuration/Guide/oam.html (Configuring Ethernet OAM)

Hot Standby Pseudowire Support for ATM and TDM Access Circuits

The Hot Standby Pseudowire Support for Inverse Multiplexing over ATM (IMA) feature improves the availability of pseudowires by detecting failures and handling them with minimal disruption to the service. This feature allows the backup pseudowire to be in a "hot standby" state, so that it can immediately take over if the primary pseudowire fails.

For more information about this feature, see Configuring Pseudowire feature guide at the following URL: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/asr_901/Configuration/Guide/pseudowire.html

Microwave ACM Signaling and EEM Integration

The Microwave ACM Signaling and EEM Integration feature enables the microwave radio transceivers to report link bandwidth information to an upstream Ethernet switch and take action on the signal degradation to provide optimal bandwidth.

For information about this feature, see Microwave ACM Signaling and EEM Integration feature guide at the following URL: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/asr_901/Configuration/Guide/mw_acm.html

Multi-UNI MEPs in the Same VPN

Effective with Cisco IOS Release 15.3(2)S, services are configured such that two or more bridge domains (BDs) are used to achieve UNI isolation and backhauling towards provider edge (PE) device. Local MEPs (with up direction) need to be configured on the UNIs (with the associated BDs) to monitor the service backhaul connection.

For more information about this feature, see Configuring Multi-UNI CFM MEPs in the Same VPN section of the Configuring Ethernet OAM feature guide at the following URL: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/asr_901/Configuration/Guide/oam.html

OSPFv3 MIBs

The OSPFV3-MIB is supported from Cisco IOS Release 15.3(2)S onwards. This MIB module is for OSPF version 3.

For more information about this MIB, see Cisco ASR 901 Series Aggregation Services Router MIB Specifications guide at the following URL:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/asr_901/mib/reference/asr_mib.html

Remote Loop-Free Alternate - Fast Reroute for EoMPLS

The Remote Loop-Free Alternate - Fast Reroute for EoMPLS feature is introduced.

For more information about this feature, see Remote Loop-Free Alternate - Fast Reroute feature guide at the following URL: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/asr_901/Configuration/Guide/remote_lfa-frr.html

Traffic Engineering - Fast Reroute for EoMPLS

The Traffic Engineering - Fast Reroute for EoMPLS feature is introduced.

For more information about this feature, see MPLS Traffic Engineering - Fast Reroute Link feature guide at the following URL: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/asr_901/Configuration/Guide/mpls_te-frr.html

Y.1731 Performance Monitoring

Y.1731 Performance Monitoring feature provides standards-based Ethernet performance monitoring as outlined in the ITU-T Y-1731 specification and interpreted by the Metro Ethernet Forum (MEF).

For more information about this feature, see the ITU-T Y.1731 Performance Monitoring feature guide at the following URL: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/asr_901/Configuration/Guide/y1731pm.html

Modified Software Features in Release 15.3(2)S

This section lists the features modified for this release:

Combo Port Media Type Select

Starting with Cisco IOS Release 15.3(2)S, the Cisco ASR 901 router supports selection of combo ports as the media type. A combo port is considered as a single interface with dual front ends (an RJ-45 connector and an SFP module connector).

For more details, see Configuring Gigabit Ethernet Interfaces guide at the following URL:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/asr_901/Configuration/Guide/gige_intf.html

Configurable MTU on Physical Interface

For more details, see Configuring Gigabit Ethernet Interfaces guide at the following URL:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/asr_901/Configuration/Guide/gige_intf.html

Disabling MAC Address Learning on an Interface or Bridge Domain

Starting with Cisco IOS Release 15.3(2)S, you can control MAC address learning on an interface or VLAN to manage the available MAC address table space by controlling which interfaces or VLANs can learn MAC addresses.

For more details, see Disabling MAC Address Learning on an Interface or Bridge Domain section of the Configuring Ethernet Virtual Connections feature guide at the following URL: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/asr_901/Configuration/Guide/swevc.html

Layer 3 Ping in Customer EVC

Starting with Cisco IOS Release 15.3(2)S, pop 2 configuration is supported on layer 2 and layer 3 operations. Additionally, it is supported on GigabitEthernet and port channel interfaces.

For more details, see L3 PING in customer EVC section of the Configuring Ethernet Virtual Connections feature guide at the following URL: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/asr_901/Configuration/Guide/swevc.html

Sub-second Link OAM Timers
