Introduction
Cisco IOS XR software is a distributed operating system designed for continuous system operation combined with service flexibility and high performance.
Cisco IOS XR software provides the following features and benefits:
•
IP and Routing—Supports a wide range of IPv4 and IPv6 services, and routing protocols; such as Border Gateway Protocol (BGP), Intermediate System-to-Intermediate System (IS-IS), Open Shortest Path First (OSPF), IP Multicast, Routing Policy Language (RPL), and Hot Standby Router Protocol (HSRP)/Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol features (VRRP).
•
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. The fast detection of failures provides immediate reaction to failure in the event of a failed link or neighbor. OSPF, ISIS, BGP and MPLS-TE FRR use BFD to detect failures.
•
MPLS—Supports Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) protocols such as Traffic Engineering (TE), Resource Reservation Protocol (RSVP), and Label Distribution Protocol (LDP).
•
Multicast—Provides comprehensive IP Multicast software including Source Specific Multicast (SSM). The Cisco CRS-1 platform supports Bidirectional Protocol Independent Multicast (BIDIR-PIM).
•
Quality of service (QoS)—Supports a rich QoS mechanisms including policing, marking, queuing, dropping, and shaping. Additionally the operating systems support Modular QoS CLI (MQC). MQC is used to configure various QoS features on various Cisco platforms.
•
Manageability—Provides industry-standard management interfaces including modular command-line interface (CLI), Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), and native Extensible Markup Language (XML) interfaces.
•
Security—Provides comprehensive network security features including access control lists (ACLs), routing authentications, AAA/TACACS+, Secure Shell (SSH), SNMPv3, and leading Routing Policy Language (RPL) support. Control-plane protections integrated into line card ASICs include Generalized TTL Security Mechanism (GTSM), RFC 3682, and dynamic control plane protection.
•
The Craft Works Interface (CWI) is a client-side application used to configure and manage Cisco routers. The management and configuration features include fault, configuration, security, and inventory, with an emphasis on speed and efficiency. The CWI provides a context-sensitive graphical representation of the objects in a Cisco router, simplifying the process of configuring and managing the router. The CWI allows you to log in to multiple routers and perform management tasks.
•
Availability—Supports rich availability features such as fault containment, fault tolerance, fast switchover, link aggregation, and nonstop forwarding (NSF).
•
In Service Software Upgrade (ISSU)—Supports a modular-packaging-based release model in order to minimize impact of upgrades and supports ISSU with NSF, where possible.
See the "New and Changed Information" section for a detailed list of new features by platform for Cisco IOS XR Software Release 3.2.1.

•
New Software Features in Cisco IOS XR Software Release 3.2.1
•
Changed Software Features in Cisco IOS XR Software Release 3.2.1
New Software Features in Cisco IOS XR Software Release 3.2.1
The following are new features in Cisco IOS XR Software Release 3.2.1 supported on the Cisco CRS-1 and Cisco XR 12000 Series Router platforms:
•
The alias command creates a command alias. The alias command uses the following syntax in Global configuration mode:
alias alias-name command-syntax [(variable)]The alias command syntax is describe in Table 7:
Multiple commands can be supported under a single command alias, and multiple variable can be supported for each command. If multiple commands are specified under a single alias, then each command is executed in the order in which it is listed in the alias command.
To specify multiple commands under a single command alias, include the
command-syntax [(variable)] argument multiple times after alias alias-name argument, as show in the following example:alias alias-name command-syntax [(variable)] command-syntax [(variable)] command-syntax [(variable)]
To delete an alias, use the no form of this command, as shown in the following example:
no alias alias-name command-syntaxThe following example shows how to configure the show interface pos and show controller sonet commands with the intf keyword under the alias show_intf:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# alias show_intf (intf) show int pos $intf; show controller sonet $intfRP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# exitRP/0/RP0/CPU0:router#show_int (0/1/0/0)RP/0/RP0/CPU0:equinox#show int pos 0/1/0/0 POS0/1/0/0 is up, line protocol is upDampening enabled: penalty 0, not suppressedhalf_life: 1 reuse: 750suppress: 2000 max-suppress-time: 4Hardware is Packet over SONET network interface(s)<snip>RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router#show controller sonet 0/1/0/0 Port SONET0/1/0/0: Status: Up <snip>
Note
The alias command is available only for commands that run in EXEC mode or Admin EXEC mode.
•
Use the logging events link-status command to enable link and line-protocol state change messages on a per-interface basis. To disable link and line-protocol state change messages on a per-interface basis, use the no form of this command. The logging events link-status command is available under the interface submode of all bundles, tunnels and VLAN interfaces.
Note
Link and line-protocol state change messages are disabled by default.
The following example shows how to enable link and line-protocol state change messages:
RP/0/0/CPU0:router(config-if)# logging events link-statusThe following example shows how to disable link and line-protocol state change messages:
RP/0/0/CPU0:router(config-if)# no logging events link-status•
MPLS and IP load balancing replicate the paths in the load-balance (LB) table based on the input from the platform. This path replication ensures the optimal distribution of the traffic between output links. For example, two paths are replicated to five paths, and so forth. This change affects the LDP label switching, and the TE and IP-imposition are not affected.
Prior to Release 3.2.1, MPLS and IP populated load-balance (LB) tables based on the information from the LDP routing plane without consulting with the platform. For example if route has two paths, then MPLS will populate the LB table with two entries for this route.Changed Software Features in Cisco IOS XR Software Release 3.2.1
The following features were modified in Cisco IOS XR Software Release 3.2.1, and are supported on the Cisco CRS-1 and Cisco XR 12000 Series Router platforms:
•
In Release 3.2.1, all Admin mode commands can be run only by entering into Admin mode, and not by prefixing the command with the admin keyword in EXEC mode.
The following example illustrates the correct usage of the admin command. In this example, the user executes the show running command from Admin mode by enter the admin command in EXEC mode, followed by the show running command in Admin mode:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router# adminRP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(admin)# show runningThe following example illustrates incorrect usage of the admin command. In this example, the user executes the show running command from EXEC mode by prefixing the show running command with admin keyword:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router# admin show running ^ % Invalid input detected at '^' marker.Important Notes
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.

If you intend to test beyond combined maximum configuration tested and published by Cisco, please contact your Cisco representative to discuss how to engineer a large-scale configuration maximum for your testing.
The Cisco SIP-600 line cards draw more power than previous line cards. Depending on the exact configuration of power entry modules (PEMs) and other cards in the chassis, there may not be enough power available when inserting a new card or removing a PEM. The admin command show environment power-supply table helps plan the power budget for the chassis. Before inserting a new card (of any type, not just a line card) or removing a PEM, execute the following commands:

If this power is less than the figure given in Worst Case Redundant Power Available (the figure is displayed in the show environment power-supply table command output), the card can be safely inserted. As long as the Worst Case Redundant Power Available is not zero, a PEM can be powered down for replacement without impact.
Note
No alerts are issued if more cards are inserted than the PEMs can support. It is your responsibility to determine your power budget for the chassis before making any changes to it. Exceeding the power budget may result in the PEM being overloaded and cards powering down due to insufficient power being provided.
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.
Release 3.2.0 Caveats Resolved in Release 3.2.1
This section lists the caveats from Cisco IOS XRSoftware Release 3.2.0 that were resolved in Cisco IOS XR Software Release 3.2.1.
•
CSCei14219
Basic Description: LDP installing "Unlabelled" as outgoing labels for prefixes over tunnel-te interface after RP Failover is performed.
Symptom: The traffic is not taking LDP label after RP Fail Over (FO) because prefixes pointing to a tunnel-te interface are marked as Unlabelled in show mpls forwarding.
Furthermore, LDP targeted session over tunnel-te interface does not seem to come up.
Conditions: When MPLS LDP is enabled on a tunnel-te interface and prefixes are learned over that tunnel-te interface with autoroute announce, labels are assigned to these prefixes pointing to the tunnel-te interface. After an RP switchover, these prefixes are marked as "Unlabelled."
Workaround: Restart the mpls_ldp process with process restart mpls_ldp.

Basic Description: On a Cisco CRS-1-8 RP chassis, show environment fans returns "0 rpm" for all fans if RP1 is active and RP0 is standby.
Symptom: On a Cisco CRS-1-8 RP chassis, if RP1 is active RP and RP0 is booted and in IOS XR RUN state, then show env fans will return "0 rpm" for all fans, even though the fans are spinning. Also, show environment leds will return UNKNOWN for the status of the fan-tray LED even though the LEDs are green (i.e. OK state).
Conditions: This problem can occur on any Cisco CRS-1-8 testbed which has 2 RPs, with RP1 as the active RP and RP0 in IOS XR RUN state.
Workaround: The workaround is to run the show environment fans command from RP0 always on CRS-8 chassis.

CSCeh76018
Basic Description: An invalid boothelper message displayed upon installing IOS XR when bootflash does not have requisite boothelper file.
Symptom: Install Director raises PKG_PLAT-4-INVALID_BOOTHELPER_VERSION warning message indicating the absence of a valid boothelper message. The device will continue to boot.
Conditions: If Install Director cannot find a boothelper file with named "c12kprp-boot-mz.120-30.S" or "c12kprp-boot-mz.120-29.2.S" on bootflash, it raises PKG_PLAT-4-INVALID_BOOTHELPER_VERSION warning message. Please note that the supported boothelper version is 12.0(30)S and Install Director's check is out of date.
Workaround: If the device already has the correct boothelper version, you can either ignore this warning message or make sure that the filename of the boothelper is either "c12kprp-boot-mz.120-30.S" or "c12kprp-boot-mz.120-29.2.S."
Open Caveats—Release 3.2.1
This section lists the open caveats for Cisco IOS XR Software Release 3.2.1. The caveats are organized as follows:
Platform-Independent Caveats
The following caveats apply to all platforms:
•
CSCei02630
Basic Description: TURBOBOOT (cold boot) procedure with -clean option cleans all files on boot disk (disk0:) of all non-DSC RPs.
Symptom: The TURBOBOOT procedure used with the clean option will clean only the package files on the boot disk (typically disk0:) on the DSC. However on all other RPs in the system all files on the boot disk will be deleted (including any user or configuration files).
The configuration for non-owner LRs is stored on the boot device of those LRs' RPs (not the DSC). So if a turboboot is issued with the clean option when LRs are carved out this will have the effect of deleting the configuration on any non-owner LRs.
Conditions: All package and user files on disk0: are deleted when easybake starts on the non-DSC RPs.
Workaround: The user should backup any configuration for non-owner LRs before starting the turboboot and re-apply this configuration manually once the turboboot has completed. Also, any other user files on the disk of any RP should be backed up before starting the turboboot.

CSCeh88606
Basic Description: Unconfig/reconfig of address family can cause BGP peer to remain down.
Symptom: IPV4 BGP neighbors do not come up after AFI config is restored.
Conditions: If the address family ipv4 is restored (config rollback) under router bgp ~3 min after the cfg was removed, the ipv4 bgp neighbors do not come back up.
Workaround: Restart the BGP process on the RP.
•
CSCei83676
Basic Description: This happens when FO is triggered with a heavy load on the systems:
many BGP/IGP routes and 1000s of tunnels. In this case, the FO goes awry and MPLS-TE might have the wrong labels installed in forwarding. This would cause forwarding over those tunnels to be broken. The solution is to restart te_control after the FO is done.
Symptom: Forwarding over TE tunnels may stop.
Conditions: With a heavy load, and after RP failover.
Workaround: Restart te_control process restart te_control.
•
CSCei76841
Basic Description: The OUNI connection goes down a few minutes after the RSVP Hellos come back up. This is because the passive side of the OUNI connection stops refreshing its RSVP state for the OUNI connection and the active side eventually times-out.
Symptom: On an Resource Reservation Protocol (RSVP) Hello control channel failure, an OUNI (Optical User Network Interface) connection may go down.
Conditions: The OUNI connection goes down if the control channel failure is detected by the passive side of the OUNI connection.
Workaround: After the RSVP Hello control channel failure on the passive side, restart the RSVP process.
Cisco CRS-1-specific Caveats
The following caveats are specific to the Cisco CRS-1 platform:
•
CSCei84404
Basic Description: On Cisco CRS-1-16 chassis, show hfr shows UNKNOWN entry after multiple AM0/AM1 card OIRs.
Symptom: After performing more than 15-20 OIRs of the alarm card while it is in various stages of booting, sh hfr shows up an UNKNOWN entry.
Conditions: On a Cisco CRS-1-16 chassis, if we do more than 15-20 OIRs of AM0 or AM1 while these nodes are booting (i.e. in MBI-BOOT or MBI-RUN state), we may eventually see an UNKNOWN entry show up in the output of show hfr.
Workaround: process restart invmgr fixes this problem.

CSCei67225
Basic Description: The error message in this DDTS is indicating that the uidb table in PLIM ASIC is inconsistent. There is a TCAM lookup in the uidb table for each packet passing through the PLIM ASIC to determine the uidb and other fields that need to be set in ingress PLIM header. What is happening is that the lookup results in multiple matches. So all packets entering into PLIM ASIC that hit this error are getting dropped
The error message is as follows:
LC/0/4/CPU0:Jul 29 16:33:03.301 : bambi_server[104]: %L2-BAMBI-3-ASIC_ERR : plaspa instance 0 L2P UIDB Multi, check uidb hash table LC/0/4/CPU0:Jul 29 16:33:03.334 : bambi_server[104]: %L2-BAMBI-3-ASIC_ERR : plaspa instance 0 L2P UIDB Multi, check uidb hash tableSymptom: PLIM ASIC error message flooding console.
Conditions: Seen on SPA OIR.
Workaround:
1.
Power down the SPA, wait a few minutes, power up the SPA.
2.
OIR the LC.
Software Installation Notes
Cisco IOS XR software is installed and activated as modular "packages," allowing specific features or software patches to be installed, upgraded, or downgraded without impacting unrelated processes. In addition, a software package can be upgraded or downgraded on all supported card types, or on a single card (node). Cisco IOS XR software packages are installed from package installation envelopes (PIE) files that contain one or more software components.
Use the procedures in Upgrading from Cisco IOS to Cisco IOS XR Software on the Cisco 12000 Series Router, Release 3.2 to upgrade a Cisco XR 12000 Series Router from Cisco IOS software 12.0(31)Sa to Cisco IOS XR software Release 3.2.1.
Note
For more information on bringing up a router using the Cisco IOS XR software, refer to the
Cisco IOS XR Getting Started Guide.Before performing an upgrade, perform the following tasks:
•
Review the "Caveats" section before proceeding with the upgrade.
•
Verify system stability with the commands described in the "Verifying System Stability" section.
•
Verify that your running configuration is backed up.
Note
To back up your running configuration, type the copy running-config destination command in EXEC mode, as show in the example that follows. Replace the destination argument with the location where you want to store the configuration file.
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router# copy running-config harddisk:•
Verify that all applicable mandatory SMUs, if any, are active on the router. Optional packages and SMUs can also be active on the system. Before proceeding with the upgrade, you need to activate any mandatory SMUs that are not active.
•
If you are upgrading from Cisco IOS XR software Release 3.2.0 to Release 3.2.1 on a Cisco CRS-1 or Cisco XR 12000 Series Router, type the show install rollback ? command and note latest rollback point available.
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router#(admin)# show install rollback ?•
If you are upgrading a Cisco CRS-1 from Release 3.0 to Release 3.2.1, type the copy bootflash:/source harddisk:/destination command to ensure that all files on the RP and standby RP bootflash are backed up, as shown in the example that follows. Replace the source argument with the name and location of the file you want to back up. Replace the destination argument with the name and location of the destination where you want to store the backup file.
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router#(admin)# copy bootflash:/<files> harddisk:/<files>
Note
In addition to backing up files on the RP bootflash, you can use the copy bootflash:/source harddisk:/destination command to back up files on the LC and SP bootflash. However, you are only required to back up those files that you have stored on the RP and standby RP boot flash.
Note
This task is applicable on Cisco CRS-1 only, and it applies only to software upgr
