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).

Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS)—Supports MPLS protocols, including 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 router supports Bidirectional Protocol Independent Multicast (BIDIR-PIM).

Quality of Service (QoS)—Supports 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), the routing authentications AAA and TACACS+, Secure Shell (SSH), and SNMPv3. Control plane protections integrated into line card ASICs include Global Time-to-Live Security Mechanism (GTSM), RFC 3682, and dynamic control plane protection (DCoPP).

Craft Works interface (CWI)—The 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. 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).

See the "New and Changed Information" section for a detailed list of new features by platform for Cisco IOS XR Software Release 3.3.3.

Health-Monitoring Diagnostics

Health-monitoring diagnostic tests are non disruptive and run in the background while the system is in operation. The role of health-monitoring diagnostics is to be proactive in detecting hardware failures in the live network environment and inform appropriate entities of a failure. It is up to you to determine the interval at which to run health-monitoring checks. The interval can be as granular as 50ms.

You can configure health-monitoring diagnostics, including support for monitor intervals and the failure count thresholds of tests.

The show diagnostic content command output was modified to include diagnostic monitoring support.


Note Health-monitoring and other diagnostic configurations are not persistent across system reloads. You must manually reapply the configurations after rebooting the system.


Configuring Health-Monitoring Diagnostics

To configure health-monitoring diagnostic testing on specified cards while the router is connected to a

live network, perform the following procedure. You can configure the:

Execution interval for each health-monitoring test

Failure threshold for each health-monitoring test

Location where each health-monitoring test is run

Prerequisites

The Cisco IOS XR Diagnostics Package must be installed before starting this procedure. See Cisco IOS XR Getting Started Guide for information on installing packages.

Running Health-Monitoring Diagnostics: Example

In the following example, health-monitoring diagnostic test 1 for 0/1/CPU0 is enabled:

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(admin-config)# diagnostic monitor location 0/1/cpu0 test 1

In the following example, health-monitoring diagnostic test 1 for 0/1/CPU0 is set to an interval of every 15 days and 6 hours:

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(admin-config)# diagnostic monitor interval location 0/1/cpu0 test 1
15 6:0:0.0

In the following example, the health-monitoring diagnostic testing failure threshold is set to 25 failures for test 1 on 0/1/CPU0:

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(admin-config)# diagnostic monitor threshold location 0/1/CPU0 test 1 
failure count 25

The following example shows a sample result of the diagnostic test using the show diagnostic result location <loc> detail command.

By default, tests do not report any syslogs during health-monitoring. Only test results indicate any errors.

Fabric Diagnosis Testing

Fabric Diagnosis test is a non-disruptive, fault isolation test that "pings" each fabric node in a chassis from the standby RP node. The test steers ping test packets through different fabric planes, aggregates ping (pass or fail) results with fabric plane information, analyzes the results, and points out the most logical point of failure (if any) in the chassis. The test can only be executed from the standby RP Executing this test in a Cisco CRS-1 Carrier Routing System Multishelf System may help determine which fabric stage (s1, s2, or s3) is the most logical point of failure in the system. This test must be run in each LC rack standby RP in the system. For example, if the test reports failures on multiple LC racks, and the failure information points to the same fabric plane, then the most likely point of failure is the S2 stage, which is the card in fabric chassis of the system.

This test is recommended for Health Monitoring and reports syslogs, regardless of the "monitor syslog" setting. For certain types of failures, this test can help quickly detect fabric hardware issues.

The following restrictions apply to the Fabric Diagnosis tests:

By default, this test is not running in Health Monitoring mode. You must activate the test manually.

When you first run the test, you might not receive reports of defects. If you run the test manually, (and it is not already configured for Health Monitoring active mode), run the test once, wait for a couple of minutes, and then run it again to get a definite test result.

This initial period also applies when you start or restart a card that is running IOS XR. The test takes a few minutes before it can reliably detect issues with the newly added card.

Configuring Fabric Diagnosis Testing: Example

Cisco recommends that you configure the fabric diagnosis test as periodical health monitoring. Set the interval based on how soon you want to catch and isolate the fabric error. Cisco recommends that you set the interval for a minimum of 2 seconds. The following example shows the recommended configuration:

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(admin-config)#diagnostic monitor location 0/RP0/CPU0 test 4
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(admin-config)#diagnostic monitor interval location 0/RP0/CPU0 test 4 
0 00:00:03.0
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(admin-config)#diagnostic monitor location 0/RP1/CPU0 test 4
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(admin-config)#diagnostic monitor interval location 0/RP1/CPU0 test 4 
0 00:00:03.0
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(admin-config)#commit

Use the show running-config command to confirm the settings.

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router# show running-config

diagnostic monitor location 0/RP0/CPU0 test FabricDiagnosisTest
diagnostic monitor interval location 0/RP0/CPU0 test FabricDiagnosisTest 0 00:00:03.0
diagnostic monitor location 0/RP1/CPU0 test FabricDiagnosisTest
diagnostic monitor interval location 0/RP1/CPU0 test FabricDiagnosisTest 0 00:00:03.0

DRP Update

DRP and DRP-B are now supported as "location" in the CLI from RPs in the system.

The diagnostic CLI is not available on the DRP console. You must configure DRP tests from RP consoles.

Diagnostic CLI Change

Syntax for specifying a list of tests in configuration of "diagnostic schedule location <R/S/I> test <ID list>... " has changed. The new syntax for <ID list> is now "i;j-k" (previously "i,j-k").

Quality of Service (QoS) Units of Measure Changes

For Cisco IOS XR Software Release 3.3.0 and later releases, a number of new units of measure that have been introduced as options within the various Modular QoS command-line interface (MQC) can be applied within policy-maps.

Because the default units of measure may no longer be the same, care must be taken when taking a configuration earlier than Cisco IOS XR Software Release 3.3.0 and applying it to Cisco IOS XR Software Release 3.3.0 or later releases. Table 7 lists the changes to QoS units of measure.
