New and Enhanced Software Features for Cisco IOS XE Gibraltar 16.11.x

New and Enhanced Features for Cisco IOS XE Gibraltar 16.11.1a

  • 10G CWDM SFP+ support

  • Cisco Unified Border Element Smart Licensing—Cisco Unified Border Element Smart Licensing—Cisco Smart Software Licensing provides a simple cloud-based solution for managing and tracking the use of your licenses and entitlements across your business. License requirements for the use of CUBE trunk sessions are reported to Cisco Smart Licensing.

    For a more detailed overview on Cisco Licensing, go to https://cisco.com/go/licensingguide.

  • Channel-Based Metrics Measurement—Configures the performance monitors used by PfRv3 to employ a data collection method combining metadata and traffic sampling to provide traffic metrics.

  • Consent Token for Shell Access—Consent Token is a time-bound multi-factor authentication mechanism for secure access to Cisco devices. When you try to access the Secure Shell on a Consent-Token-enabled device, the device generates an authentication challenge. You must obtain the response to this challenge from a Cisco Authorized personnel through an out-of-band mechanism such as email or phone call, and enter the response on the device to gain access to the Secure Shell. Secure Shell access is revoked after the time interval you specified while requesting access.

  • Dynamic Application Policy Routing—Dynamic Application Policy Routing (DAPR) dynamically steers overlay and underlay egress application traffic flows between multihomed sites connected over RAR links (virtual-access interfaces). This feature extends the existing path management solution of PfRv2 to virtual access interfaces. DAPR routes your traffic based on policy criteria such as link preference and load balancing to meet performance requirements such as delay and jitter.

  • Enhanced Policy Based Routing and Site Manager—The Enhanced Policy-based Routing (ePBR) routing enables application-based routing. Application-based routing provides a flexible, device-agnostic policy routing solution, while also ensuring application performance.

  • FlexVPN IKEv2 Dynamic Route Tagging—The IKEv2 Dynamic Route Tagging feature enables a tag value for automatically-learned (connected) routes. It also helps to apply this tag value on hub site during installation.

  • FlexVPN Event Trace—Displays event trace messages for FlexVPN.

  • IPFIX support for ETA—IP Flow Information Export (IPFIX) protocol is another way for transmitting traffic flow information over the network. Support for ipfix keyword in flow destinations was added.

  • IPv6 Object Group ACL—This feature extends object group-based policy application to IPv6 ACLs. The Object group for access control list (ACL) allows you to classify users, devices, or applications into groups and apply those groups to ACLs to create access control policies for those groups. Object group-based ACL approach reduces configuration size, makes ACLs easily readable and easier to manage, thus minimizing complex and larger ACL configurations.

  • MACsec exception reports for invalid keys and replay attacks—You can use the show mka policy command to verify the XPN configuration. If you do not want to include icv-indicator in MKPDUs, use the no include-icv-indicator command in the MKA policy.

  • MACsec varialble length CKN and optional support for ICV—Use the platform macsec logging replay protection command in global configuration mode to configure the packet count global configuration mode to configure the packet count.

  • PfRv3 Intelligent Load Balance—The PfRv3 Intelligent Load Balance feature detects the remote bandwidth overrun at the earliest possible. It helps to reduce the packet drop caused by per tunnel QoS and increases the bandwidth utilization.

  • PKI - EST CA Certs on Reykey—This feature enables client devices to obtain CA certificate automatically as part of rekey. The CA certificate certifies a new public key for a device.

  • Programmability—The following programmability features are introduced in this release:

    • Kill Telemetry Subscription—he ability to delete a dynamic model driven telemetry dynamic subscription using either:

      • The clear telemetry ietf subscription Cisco IOS command, or

      • The <kill-subscription> RPC

    • NETCONF and RESTCONF Service Level Access Control Lists: Enable you to configure an IPv4 or IPv6 access control list (ACL) for NETCONF and RESTCONF sessions.

      Clients that do not conform to the configured ACL are not allowed to access the NETCONF or RESTCONF subsystems. When service-level ACLs are configured, NETCONF and RESTCONF connection requests are filtered based on the source IP address.

    • YANG Data Models: For the list of Cisco IOS XE YANG models available with this release, navigate tohttps://github.com/YangModels/yang/tree/master/vendor/cisco/xe/16111.

      Revision statements embedded in the YANG files indicate if there has been a model revision. The README.md file in the same GitHub location highlights changes that have been made in the release.

  • Removal of Weak Encryption Types 0, 5, and 7 in AAA—Support has been added for auto-conversion of weak password types 0 and 7 to encrypted password type 6. Configure AES password encryption feature and primary encryption key to auto-convert password types 0 and 7 to password type 6.

  • Security Readiness Criteria (SRC) Closure—Refer to the following documents for information about this feature: Security Readiness Criteria (SRC) closure for Cisco Unified Border Element—SRC is a program to meet a set of security criteria before releasing the product offering to the customers. SRC helps to prioritize security requirements that are necessary to reduce the associated risk.

  • Show commands for ETA—Simplified show commands to display ETA configurations, flow statistics, and export statistics for quick troubleshooting.

  • show interface gigabitethernet accounting—The show command output was modified to display the number of packets of each protocol type that have been sent through all configured interfaces.

  • show platform resources - Display bootflash and harddisk Details for RP modules—With this feature, you can use the show platform resources command to view utilization of boot flash and hard disk of a Route Processor.

  • Source interface support for ETA Netflow records—Support for source-interface interface-name for ETA Netflow records was added.

  • Specific License Reservation—With Specific License Reservation, you can deploy a Smart License on a device without directly connecting it to the Cisco Cloud.

    For a more detailed overview on Cisco Licensing, go to https://cisco.com/go/licensingguide.

  • Support certificate CN/SAN validation—Server Identity Validation on Cisco Unified Border Element—Cisco Unified Border Element supports server identity validation through Common Name (CN) and Subject Alternate Name (SAN) fields in the server certificate during client-side SIP/TLS connections. Validation of CN and SAN fields of the server certificate ensures that the server-side domain is a valid entity.

  • VxLAN Static Routing—Provides a method for connecting multiple servers in a data center to an enterprise edge router, using one-to-many static routes and point-to-multipoint (P2MP) VxLAN tunnels.

  • Web User Interface—Supports an embedded GUI-based device-management tool that provides the ability to provision the router, simplifies device deployment and manageability, and enhances user experience. The following features are supported on Web User Interface from Cisco IOS XE Gibraltar 16.11.1:

    • Nat Statistics

    • IPv6 Support for AAA

    For information on how to access the Web User Interface, see Configure the Router for Web User Interface section.

  • ZBFW HSL using Source Interface Capability—Zone-based Firewall supports export of logged data record to an external collector using NetFlow Version 9, where the collector parses and interprets the data record based on the template. Zone-based firewall uses the High Speed Logging (HSL) capability to generate NetFlow data through the log flow-export v9 udp destination command under the parameter-map type inspect-global configuration.
