Note |
When you upgrade from one IOS XE release to another, you may see |
-
eZPM Performance Improvement—The ezPM (easy performance monitor) introduces a performance improvement to the Application Performance profile for the following monitors:
-
application-client-server-stats
-
application-response-time
-
application-stats
-
media
-
url
The performance improvement is achieved by using the mode optimised command, which is enabled by default. If any other monitors are enabled, the performance improvement is automatically disabled.
-
-
6VPE over DMVPN with IPv6 Transport—This feature supports multi-tenant IPv6 LAN prefixes. You can create these prefixes using an IPv6 DMVPN transport over the IPv4 overlay neighborship.
-
MAG or customer-specific SLA Configuration—This feature lets you configure MAG and customer-specific SLA to enable or disable IP SLA probes for PMIPv6 multipath management. To change the IP SLA probe parameters, use the enable-sla command.
-
Install and Deploy Cisco IOS XE and Cisco IOS XE SD-WAN Functionality on Edge Router—This feature supports the use of a single universalk9 image to deploy Cisco IOS XE SD-WAN and Cisco IOS XE functionality on all the supported devices. This universalk9 image supports two modes - Autonomous mode (for IOS XE features) and controlled mode (for SD-WAN features).
-
Fail Close Revert Mode—This feature lets group members remove the downloaded key server policy when there is no rekey or the group member is not able to re-register to the key server, and therefore return to the fail close mode.
-
Partial Configuration on CPE—This feature supports use of Download RPC and Transfer Complete RPC to apply partial configuration on a CPE. It helps in the configuration of the CPE using download RPC method in CWMP instead of a manual configuration.
-
Enhanced VRF option for TCL socket—In this release, the -myvrf keyword is added to the fconfigure command. This command specifies the options in a channel and enables you to associate a VRF table name with it.
-
Support for configuring GRE in tunnel encapsulation mode —You can now configure a GRE tunnel in tunnel encapsulation mode in addition to the existing support for UDP tunnels.
-
MACSec on Port Channel—This feature lets you configure MACsec encryption support on port channels therefore increasing the security of the traffic.
-
Improving NAT 44 performance—This enhancement introduces ip nat settings high command that allows high connection set up rate for non-ALG NAT traffic.
-
VPN-ID in NetFlow exported packet—This feature helps in identification of VPN using the MPLS VPN-ID.
-
Ingress and Egress Accounting MIB—This feature allows the user to access all VxLAN accounting information in a single SNMP request.
-
DHCP unicast support on IOS-XE—This feature introduces support for unicast mode on DHCP. This helps with splitting the horizon therefore improving security of the network.
-
Block BGP Dynamic Neighbor Sessions—This feature allows you to block a router from establishing BGP dynamic neighbor sessions with certain nodes in a BGP peer group - these nodes are identified with their IP addresses. The ability to shut down or prevent the creation of BGP dynamic neighbor sessions is useful when a peer needs maintenance.
-
Support for Spoke Nodes as P Nodes in MPLS over DMVPN Phase 3—This feature helps you configure a spoke node as either a P node or PE node in an MPLS over DMVPN deployment. To configure the spoke node, MP-BGP redistributes the route or label information between the spoke node and a PE node behind it.
-
LISP Support for TCP Authentication Option—This feature helps you configure TCP Authentication Option (TCP AO) to prevent spoofed TCP segments in the sessions between an ETR and an MS.
-
EBGP Route Propagation without Policies— This feature helps you configure an EBGP router to not propagate routes to and from an EBGP neighbor, when at least one inbound and one outbound policy are not configured for the neighbor.
-
Debug commands for PIM and VRF — This release introduces debug commands for VRF (debug condition vrf) and PIM (debug ip pim)details. The debug condition vrf command lets you limit the debug output to a specific virtual routing and forwarding (VRF) instance. The debug ip pim command displays PIM packets received and transmitted, as well as PIM related events.
-
CUBE: Fax detect for IP-IP flows on IOS XE platform — This release introduces support for fax detection for SIP calls and transfer on Cisco IOS XE platforms.
-
gNMI Protocol— This release introduces support for gNMI protocol on ASR 1000 routers.
New Hardware Supported for Cisco IOS XE Amsterdam 17.2.1r
-
ESP-100X and ESP-200X—Cisco ASR 1000 ESP100-X and ESP-200X are QFP-based embedded services processors for the Cisco ASR1000 Series Routers. These ESP's are based on third-generation QFP ASIC. The ESP100-X contains one, third-generation QFP ASIC and the ESP200-X contains two, third-generation QFP ASIC.
