The Cisco Catalyst IR1101 Rugged Series Router is a next-generation modular industrial router, which has a base platform with additional pluggable modules that can be added. The pluggable modules provide the flexibility of adding different interfaces to the IR1101 platform, for example, a cellular module, which provides 5G and Fourth-Generation Long-Term Evolution (4G LTE) cellular networks.

The IR1101 also has expansion modules that adds key capabilities to the IR1101. The expansion modules are:

SKU ID	Description
IRM-1100-SPMI	Expansion Module with 1 GE SFP, 1 Pluggable Module, 4 GPIO ports on 1 Digital I/O Connector, and 1 mSATA SSD Slot.

Smart Licensing Using Policy

Starting with Cisco IOS XE 17.6.1, with the introduction of Smart Licensing Using Policy, even if you configure a hostname for a product instance or device, only the Unique Device Identifier (UDI) is displayed. This change in the display can be observed in all licensing utilities and user interfaces where the hostname was displayed in earlier releases. It does not affect any licensing functionality. There is no workaround for this limitation.

The licensing utilities and user interfaces that are affected by this limitation include only the following: Cisco Smart Software Manager (CSSM), Cisco Smart License Utility (CSLU), and Smart Software Manager On-Prem (SSM On-Prem).

Config register change issue with service password recovery update

When service password recovery is disabled, then the config register cannot be changed and will be stuck at 0x01. This issue was found on the IR1101 Router. For additional information see the tech note Understand Configuration Register Usage on all Routers.

Expansion Module on the IR1101

The expansion module IR1101 does not support +1500 MT size on LAN interfaces. See this Caveat for details.

Caveats describe unexpected behavior in Cisco IOS XE releases. Caveats listed as open in a prior release are carried forward to the next release as either open or resolved.
