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), Routing Information Protocol (RIP), 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).
•BGP Prefix Independent Convergence—Provides the ability to converge BGP routes within subseconds 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 with out MPLS. This fast convergence innovation is unique to Cisco IOS XR software.
•Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS)—Supports MPLS protocols, including Traffic Engineering (TE), Resource Reservation Protocol (RSVP), Label Distribution Protocol (LDP), Layer 2 virtual private network (L2VPN), and Layer 3 VPN (L3VPN).
•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 command-line interface (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; authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA)/Terminal Access Controller Access Control System (TACACS+); Secure Shell (SSH); and Simple Network Management Protocol Versions 3 (SNMPv3). Control plane protections integrated into line card ASICs include Generalized TTL Security Mechanism (GTSM), RFC 3682, and dynamic control plane protection.
•Craft Works Interface (CWI)—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).
•Multicast service delivery in SP NGN—MVPNv4 support carries customer multicast traffic over an ISP IPv4 core network.
•6PE: Edge support for IPv6 applications—Delivers IPv6 traffic over an IPv4/MPLS core with 6PE support (Cisco XR 12000 Series Router only).
•6VPE—Delivers IPv6 VPN traffic over an IPv4/MPLS core with 6VPE support (Cisco XR 12000 Series Router only).
•6VPE over L2TPv3: Delivers IPv6 VPN traffic over L2TPv3 core with 6VPE support (Cisco XR 12000 Series Router only).
•Enhanced core competencies:
–Support for IS-IS and OSPF.
–IP fast convergence with Fast Re-route support for IS-IS.
–Traffic engineering support for unequal load balancing.
–Path Computation Element (PCE) capability for traffic engineering.
•Firewall Services—Seamless insertion of Firewall Services in the data path with Virtual Firewall support on the Multiservice Blade (XR-12K-MSB) for the Cisco XR 12000 Series Router.
•Voice Video interconnect between providers with SBC on the Cisco CRS-1.
•L2TPv3 tunneling mechanism—Service providers who do not use MPLS in the core, but want to offer VPN services can use the L2TPv3 tunneling mechanism. The feature support includes IPv4 (VPNv4) and IPv6 (6VPE) VPN services using L2TPv3 encapsulation. The L2TPv3 packet is encapsulated in an IPv4 delivery header and is carried across an IPv4 backbone. VPN prefixes are advertised with BGP labels and resolved over L2TPv3 tunnels.
See the "New and Changed Information" section for a detailed list of new features by platform for Cisco IOS XR Software for the current release.

Memory Requirements
Caution If you remove the media in which the software image or configuration is stored, the router may become unstable and fail.
The minimum memory requirements for Cisco XR 12000 Series Routers running Cisco IOS XR Software Release 3.5.3 consist of the following:
•2-GB route memory on Performance Route Processor 2 (PRP-2)
•1-GB ATA flash storage on PRP-2
•1-GB line card route memory on all Engine 3 line cards
•1-GB line card memory on all Engine 5-based SPA interface processors (SIPs)
–The default route memory on the 12000-SIP-600 is 1 GB.
–The default route memory on the 12000-SIP-401, 501, and 601 is 2 GB.
Note The Performance Route Processor 1 (PRP-1) is not supported in production environments.
Hardware Supported
Cisco IOS XR Software for the current release supports the Cisco XR 12000 Series Router. All hardware features are supported on Cisco IOS XR software, subject to the memory requirements specified in the "Memory Requirements" section.

Software Compatibility
Cisco IOS XR Software for the current release is compatible with the Cisco XR 12000 Series Router systems:
•Cisco XR 12404 Router
•Cisco XR 12406 Router
•Cisco XR 12410 Router
•Cisco XR 12416 Router
•Cisco XR 12810 Router
•Cisco XR 12816 Router
For the existing installed base, the following chassis are supported:
•Cisco 12008 Router
•Cisco 12010 Router
•Cisco 12012 Router
Note If you are running IOS XR on a 120xx system with SIP 600, 401, 501 and 601, you must upgrade the fabric. For ROMMON, MBUS, and Fabric Downloader versions, see Other Firmware Code.
Other Firmware Code
The following minimum firmware code is supported by the Cisco XR 12000 Series Router:
•LCs
–MBUS Agent Software version 2.54 (RAM) (ROM version is 3.53)
–ROM Monitor version 17.1
–Fabric Downloader version 6.5 (ROM version is 6.5)
•RPs
–MBUS Agent Software version 2.54 (RAM) (ROM version is 3.53)
–ROM Monitor version 1.14
Minimum Cisco IOS Image Level and Boot Helper Version for Migration to Cisco IOS XR on the Cisco XR 12000 Series Router
If you are migrating from Cisco IOS to Cisco IOS XR software on the Cisco XR 12000 Series Router, you must have the following minimum Cisco IOS Image Level and Boot Helper version to support Release 3.5.3:
•Cisco IOS image—12.0(32).S
•Cisco IOS Boot Helper—12.0(31).S0a
If you have an older version of this system, you must upgrade to the minimum level supported before performing a migration. Otherwise, your migration will fail. For more detailed information, see the document Migrating From Cisco IOS to Cisco IOS XR Software on the Cisco XR 12000 Series Router.
Determining Your Software Version
To determine the version of Cisco IOS XR software running on your router, log in to the router and enter the show version command, as illustrated below.
Step 1 Establish a Telnet session with the router.
Step 2 Enter the show version command:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router# show version
