Release Notes for Cisco Catalyst 9400 Series Switches, Cisco IOS XE Fuji 16.9.x

Introduction

Cisco Catalyst 9400 Series Switches are Cisco’s leading modular enterprise switching access platform and has been purpose-built to address emerging trends of Security, IoT, Mobility, and Cloud.

They deliver complete convergence with the rest of the Cisco Catalyst 9000 Series Switches in terms of ASIC architecture with a Unified Access Data Plane (UADP) 2.0. The platform runs an Open Cisco IOS XE that supports model driven programmability, has the capacity to host containers, and run 3rd party applications and scripts natively within the switch (by virtue of x86 CPU architecture, local storage, and a higher memory footprint). The series forms the foundational building block for SD-Access, which is Cisco’s lead enterprise architecture.

Cisco Catalyst 9400 Series Switches are enterprise optimized with a dual-serviceable fan tray design, side to side airflow, and are closet-friendly with a16-inch depth

GIR is now supported for the VRRP protocol.

See High Availability → Configuring Graceful Insertion and Removal .

(Network Advantage)

Hot Patching Support

Allows Software Maintenance Upgrade (SMU) to happen immediately after activation, without reloading the system.

See System Management → Software Maintenance Upgrade .

(Network Advantage for CLI and DNA Advantage for DNAC)

In Service Software Upgrade (ISSU)

A process that allows Cisco IOS software to be updated or otherwise modified while packet forwarding continues. In most networks, planned software upgrades are a significant cause of downtime. ISSU allows Cisco IOS software to be modified while packet forwarding continues, which increases network availability and reduces downtime caused by planned software upgrades.

Note

ISSU is supported in dual supervisor module configuration on a standalone switch.

See High Availability → Configuring ISSU .

(Network Advantage)

Media Access Control Security (MACsec): Support for Host to Switch Connections

Support for 128-bit AES MACsec (IEEE 802.1AE) encryption with MACsec Key Agreement (MKA) on the line card ports is enabled.

See Security → MACsec Encryption .

128-bit—(Network Essentials and Network Advantage)

Multicast scale increase

Starting from Cisco IOS XE Fuji 16.9.1, Access, Core, Software-Defined Access (SDA), and Network Address Translation (NAT) Switch Database Management (SDM) templates are available. For the Core and NAT templates, the multicast scale numbers are increased to 32,000.

See the Cisco Catalyst 9400 Series Switch Data Sheet.

(Network Advantage)

Multiprotocol Label Switching

EIGRP MPLS VPN PE-CE Site of Origin (SoO)
Route Target Rewrite
External BGP (eBGP) and internal BGP (iBGP)
IPv6 Provider Edge over MPLS (6PE)
IPv6 VPN Provider Edge over MPLS (6VPE)

The following MPLS features are introduced in this release:

EIGRP MPLS VPN PE-CE SoO—Introduces the capability to filter MPLS Virtual Private Network (VPN) traffic on a per-site basis for Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP) networks. SoO filtering is configured at the interface level and is used to manage MPLS VPN traffic, and to prevent transient routing loops from occurring in complex and mixed network topologies.
Route Target Rewrite—Allows the replacement of route targets on incoming and outgoing Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) updates. Route targets are carried as extended community attributes in BGP Virtual Private Network IP Version 4 (VPNv4) updates. Route target extended community attributes are used to identify a set of sites and VPN routing and forwarding (VRF) instances that can receive routes with a configured route target.
eBGP and iBGP— Enables you to configure multipath load balancing with both eBGP and iBGP paths in Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) networks that are configured to use MPLS VPNs. The feature provides improved load balancing deployment and service offering capabilities and is useful for multi-homed autonomous systems and Provider Edge (PE) routers that import both eBGP and iBGP paths from multihomed and stub networks.
6PE—A technique that provides global IPv6 reachability over IPv4 MPLS. It allows one shared routing table for all other devices. 6PE allows IPv6 domains to communicate with one another over the IPv4 without an explicit tunnel setup, requiring only one IPv4 address per IPv6 domain.
6VPE—A mechanism to use the IPv4 backbone to provide VPN IPv6 services. 6VPE is like a regular IPv4 MPLS-VPN provider edge, with an addition of IPv6 support within VRF. It provides logically separate routing table entries for VPN member devices.

See Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) .

(Network Advantage)

Network-Based Application Recognition (NBAR) and NBAR2

Support for wired AVC is enabled.

AVC is a solution for Cisco network devices that provides application-level classification, monitoring, and traffic control to improve business-critical application performance, facilitate capacity management and planning, and reduce network operating costs.

See System Management → Configuring Application Visibility and Control in a Wired Network .

(DNA Advantage)

Open Shortest Path First version 3 (OSPFv3) Authentication Trailer

Provides a mechanism to authenticate OSPFv3 protocol packets as an alternative to existing OSPFv3 IPsec authentication.

See Routing → Configuring OSPFv3 Authentication Trailer .

(Network Advantage)

Programmability

The following programmability features are introduced in this release:

Candidate Configuration—A temporary configuration that can be modified without changing running configuration. You can then choose when to update the device's configuration with the candidate configuration, by committing and confirming the candidate configuration.
OpenFlow 1.3 Multitable—Enables integration with open source Faucet SDN Controllers to automate management of layer 2 switching, VLANs, ACLs, and layer 3 routing

(Network Essentials and Network Advantage)
YANG Data Models—For the list of Cisco IOS XE YANG models available with this release, navigate to https://github.com/YangModels/yang/tree/master/vendor/cisco/xe/1691.

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.
Zero Touch Provisioning (DHCPv6)—Dynamic Host Control Protocol Version 6 (DHCPv6) support is added to the Zero-touch provisioning feature in this release. DHCPv6 is enabled by default, and works on any device that boots without startup configuration.

See Programmability Configuration Guide.

Resilient Ethernet Protocol (REP)

Controls network loops, handles link failures and improves convergence time. You can configure the feature on uplink and downlink ports.

See Layer2 → Configuring Resilient Ethernet Protocol.

(Network Essentials and Network Advantage)

SDM Templates

You can use SDM templates to configure system resources, to optimize support for specific features, depending on how your device is used in the network. You can select a template to provide maximum system usage for some functions.

See System Management → Configuring SDM Templates.

(Network Advantage)

Security Group Tag (SGT) Caching

Enhances the ability of Cisco TrustSec to make Security Group Tag (SGT) transportability flexible. This feature identifies the IP-SGT binding and caches the corresponding SGT so that network packets are forwarded through all network services for normal deep packet inspection processing and at the service egress point the packets are re-tagged with the appropriate SGT.

See Cisco TrustSec → Cisco TrustSec SGT Caching.

(Network Advantage)

Smart Licensing

A cloud-based, software license management solution that allows you to manage and track the status of your license, hardware, and software usage trends.

Note

Starting from this release, Smart Licensing is the default and the only available method to manage licenses.

Important

Starting from Cisco IOS XE Fuji 16.9.1 the Right-To-Use (RTU) licensing mode is deprecated, and the associated license right-to-use command is no longer available on the CLI.

See the Cisco Smart Licensing section in this release note document and System Management → Configuring Smart Licensing in the configuration guide.

A license level is not applicable.

Virtual Extensible LAN (VXLAN) Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) Ethernet VPN (EVPN)

A VXLAN is a network overlay that allows layer 2 segments to be stretched across an IP core. All the benefits of layer 3 topologies are thereby available with VXLAN. The overlay protocol is VXLAN and BGP uses EVPN as the address family for communicating end host MAC and IP addresses

See Layer 2 → Configuring VXLAN BGP EVPN

(Network Advantage)

New on the Web UI

These features are introduced on the Web UI in this release

Multicast—Minor improvements to configuring Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) snooping and to set the IGMP timeout.
Open Shortest Path First (OSPF)—Supports OSPF standards-based routing protocol for improved routing of data packets to their destination.
Quality of Service (QoS)—Supports QoS to make your network performance more predictable and bandwidth utilization more effective.
Site Profile—New site profiles for access, distributed, and core switches for easier initial configuration of the device.
Smart Licencing—Supports both online and offline method of license reservation to simplify and automate the management of licenses for your Cisco products. Smart Licensing on the device works with the Cisco Smart Software Manager (Cisco SSM).

Accessing Hidden Commands

Starting with Cisco IOS XE Fuji 16.8.1a, as an improved security measure, the way in which hidden commands can be accessed has changed.

Hidden commands have always been present in Cisco IOS XE, but were not equipped with CLI help. This means that entering enter a question mark (?) at the system prompt did not display the list of available commands. Such hidden commands are only meant to assist Cisco TAC in advanced troubleshooting and are therefore not documented. For more information about CLI help, see the Using the Command-Line Interface → Understanding the Help System chapter of the Comman Reference document.

Hidden commands are available under:

Category 1—Hidden commands in privileged or User EXEC mode. Begin by entering the service internal command to access these commands.
Category 2—Hidden commands in one of the configuration modes (global, interface and so on). These commands do not require the service internal command.

Further, the following applies to hidden commands under Category 1 and 2:

The commands have CLI help. Entering enter a question mark (?) at the system prompt displays the list of available commands.

Note: For Category 1, enter the service internal command before you enter the question mark; you do not have to do this for Category 2.

The system generates a %PARSER-5-HIDDEN syslog message when the command is used. For example:

*Feb 14 10:44:37.917: %PARSER-5-HIDDEN: Warning!!! 'show processes memory old-header ' is a hidden command. 
Use of this command is not recommended/supported and will be removed in future.

Apart from category 1 and 2, there remain internal commands displayed on the CLI, for which the system does NOT generate the %PARSER-5-HIDDEN syslog message.

Important

We recommend that you use any hidden command only under TAC supervision.

If you find that you are using a hidden command, open a TAC case for help with finding another way of collecting the same information as the hidden command (for a hidden EXEC mode command), or to configure the same functionality (for a hidden configuration mode command) using non-hidden commands.

Automatic Boot Loader Upgrade

Note

If Cisco Catalyst 9400 Series Supervisor 1 Module power is disconnected and reconnected within a 5-second window, the boot SPI may get corrupted.

Caution

Do not power cycle your switch during an upgrade.
Do not disconnect power or remove the supervisor module during an upgrade.
Do not perform an online insertion and replacement (OIR) of either supervisor (in a High Availability setup), if one of the supervisor modules in the chassis is in the process of a bootloader upgrade or when the switch is booting up.
Do not perform OIR of a switching module (linecard) when the switch is booting up.

Note

There is no boot loader version upgrade in Cisco IOS XE Fuji 16.9.1.

Complex Programmable Logic Device (CPLD) Upgrade

This refers to hardware-programmable firmware. The CPLD upgrade process is part of the automatic boot loader upgrade. The sequence of events is as follows:

Note

There are no FPGA or CPLD upgrades in Cisco IOS XE Fuji 16.9.1.

The system copies mcnewfpgaclose.hdr and mcnewfpgaclose.img to the bootflash.
The supervisor module then automatically reloads to enable the new boot loader.
When the new boot loader boots up, the CPLD upgrade process starts automatically. The CPLD upgrade process takes approximately from 7 to 10 minutes. The supervisor will power cycle itself during the CPLD upgrade.

The following is sample output from a CPLD upgrade:

Software Installation Commands


Summary of Software Installation Commands
To install and activate the specified file, and to commit changes to be persistent across reloads: `install add file filename [ activate commit]` To separately install, activate, commit, cancel, or remove the installation file: `install ?`
add file tftp: `filename`	Copies the install file package from a remote location to the device and performs a compatibility check for the platform and image versions.
activate `[` auto-abort-timer`]`	Activates the file, and reloads the device. The auto-abort-timer keyword automatically rolls back image activation.
commit	Makes changes persistent over reloads.
rollback to committed	Rolls back the update to the last committed version.
abort	Cancels file activation, and rolls back to the version that was running before the current installation procedure started.
remove	Deletes all unused and inactive software installation files.

Upgrading with In Service Software Upgrade (ISSU) in Dual Supervisor Module Configuration

Follow these instructions to perform ISSU upgrade from Cisco IOS XE Fuji 16.9.1, in install mode. The sample output in this section displays upgrade from Cisco IOS XE Fuji 16.9.1 to Cisco IOS XE Fuji 16.9.4 using install commands.

Before you begin

ISSU from Cisco IOS XE Fuji 16.9.1 to any release up to Cisco IOS XE Fuji 16.9.5 in the 16.9.x release train requires installation of Software Maintenance Upgrade (SMU) packages. ISSU from Cisco IOS XE Fuji 16.9.5 and later releases does not require installation of SMU packages.

Install the following SMU packages before performing ISSU.

Step 9

exit

Exits privileged EXEC mode and returns to user EXEC mode.

Upgrading in Install Mode

Follow these instructions to upgrade from one release to another, in install mode.

Before you begin

Note that you can use this procedure for the following upgrade scenarios.

When upgrading from ...

Permitted Supervisor Setup

(Applies to the release you are upgrading from)

First upgrade to...

To upgrade to ...

Cisco IOS XE Everest 16.6.1⁴

Upgrade a single supervisor, and complete the boot loader and CPLD upgrade. After completing the first supervisor upgrade, remove and swap in the second supervisor. After both supervisors are upgraded, they can be inserted and booted in a high availability setup.

Note

Do not simultaneously upgrade dual supervisors from Cisco IOS XE Everest 16.6.1 to a later release. Doing so may cause hardware damage.

Cisco IOS XE Everest 16.6.3

Follow the upgrade steps as in the Release Notes for Cisco Catalyst 9400 Series Switches, Cisco IOS XE Everest 16.6.x → Upgrading the Switch Software → Upgrading in Install Mode

Cisco IOS XE Fuji 16.x.x

Cisco IOS XE Everest 16.6.2 and later releases

This procedure automatically copies the images to both active and standby supervisor modules. Both supervisor modules are simultaneously upgraded.

Not applicable

⁴

When upgrading from Cisco IOS XE Everest 16.6.1 to a later release, the upgrade may take a long time, and the system will reset three times due to rommon and complex programmable logic device (CPLD) upgrade. Stateful switchover is supported from Cisco IOS XE Everest 16.6.2

Caution

Do not power cycle your switch during an upgrade.
Do not disconnect power or remove the supervisor module during an upgrade.
Do not perform an online insertion and replacement (OIR) of either supervisor (in a High Availability setup), if one of the supervisor modules in the chassis is in the process of a bootloader upgrade or when the switch is booting up.
Do not perform OIR of a switching module (linecard) when the switch is booting up.

The sample output in this section displays upgrade from Cisco IOS XE Everest 16.6.3 to Cisco IOS XE Fuji 16.9.1 using install commands.

Step 5

Reload

reload
Use this command to reload the switch.
```
Switch# reload
```
boot flash:
If your switches are configured with auto boot, then the stack will automatically boot up with the new image. If not, you can manually boot flash:packages.conf
```
Switch: boot flash:packages.conf
```

show version

After the image boots up, use this command to verify the version of the new image.

Note

When you boot the new image, the boot loader is automatically updated, but the new bootloader version is not displayed in the output until the next reload.

The following sample output of the show version command displays the Cisco IOS XE Fuji 16.9.1 image on the device:

Switch# show version

Downgrading in Install Mode

Follow these instructions to downgrade from one release to another, in install mode. To perform a software image downgrade, you must be booted into IOS via boot flash:packages.conf .

Before you begin

Note that you can use this procedure for the following downgrade scenarios:

When downgrading from ...

Permitted Supervisor Setup

(Applies to the release you are downgrading from)

To ...

Cisco IOS XE Fuji 16.9.5 or Cisco IOS XE Fuji 16.9.4 or Cisco IOS XE Fuji 16.9.3 or Cisco IOS XE Fuji 16.9.2 or Cisco IOS XE Fuji 16.9.1

This procedure automatically copies the images to both active and standby supervisor modules. Both supervisor modules are simultaneously downgraded.

Note

Do not perform an Online Removal and Replacement (OIR) of either supervisor module during the process.

Cisco IOS XE Fuji 16.9.x or Cisco IOS XE Fuji 16.8.x or Cisco IOS XE Everest 16.x.x

The sample output in this section shows downgrade from Cisco IOS XE Fuji 16.9.1 to Cisco IOS XE Everest 16.6.2, using install commands.

Important

New hardware models (supervisors or line card modules) that are introduced in a release cannot be downgraded. For instance, if a new model is first introduced in Cisco IOS XE Fuji 16.8.1a, this is the minimum software version for the model. We recommend upgrading all existing hardware to the same release as the latest hardware.

Procedure

Step 1

Clean Up

install remove inactive

Use this command to clean up old installation files in case of insufficient space. Ensure that you have at least 1GB of space in flash to expand a new image.

If your switches are configured with auto boot, then the stack will automatically boot up with the new image. If not, you can manually boot flash:packages.conf

Switch: boot flash:packages.conf

Note

When you downgrade the software image, the boot loader does not automatically downgrade. It remains updated.

show version

After the image boots up, use this command to verify the version of the new image.

Note

When you boot the new image, the boot loader is automatically updated, but the new bootloader version is not displayed in the output until the next reload.

The following sample output of the show version command displays the Cisco IOS XE Everest 16.6.2 image on the device:

Licensing

This section provides information about the licensing packages for features available on Cisco Catalyst 9000 Series Switches.

License Levels

The software features available on Cisco Catalyst 9400 Series Switches fall under these base or add-on license levels.

Base Licenses

Network Essentials
Network Advantage—Includes features available with the Network Essentials license and more.

Add-On Licenses

Add-On Licenses require a Network Essentials or Network Advantage as a pre-requisite. The features available with add-on license levels provide Cisco innovations on the switch, as well as on the Cisco Digital Network Architecture Center (Cisco DNA Center).

DNA Essentials
DNA Advantage— Includes features available with the DNA Essentials license and more.

To find information about platform support and to know which license levels a feature is available with, use Cisco Feature Navigator. To access Cisco Feature Navigator, go to https://cfnng.cisco.com. An account on cisco.com is not required.

License Types

The following license types are available:

Permanent—for a license level, and without an expiration date.
Term—for a license level, and for a three, five, or seven year period.
Evaluation—a license that is not registered.

License Levels - Usage Guidelines

Base licenses (Network Essentials and Network-Advantage) are ordered and fulfilled only with a permanent license type.
Add-on licenses (DNA Essentials and DNA Advantage) are ordered and fulfilled only with a term license type.
An add-on license level is included when you choose a network license level. If you use DNA features, renew the license before term expiry, to continue using it, or deactivate the add-on license and then reload the switch to continue operating with the base license capabilities.

When ordering an add-on license with a base license, note the combinations that are permitted and those that are not permitted:

Table 1. Permitted Combinations
	DNA Essentials	DNA Advantage
Network Essentials	Yes	No
Network Advantage	Yes⁵	Yes

⁵ You will be able to purchase this combination only at the time of the DNA license renewal and not when you purchase DNA-Essentials the first time.

Evaluation licenses cannot be ordered. They are not tracked via Cisco Smart Software Manager and expire after a 90-day period. Evaluation licenses can be used only once on the switch and cannot be regenerated. Warning system messages about an evaluation license expiry are generated only 275 days after expiration and every week thereafter. An expired evaluation license cannot be reactivated after reload. This applies only to Smart Licensing. The notion of evaluation licenses does not apply to Smart Licensing Using Policy.

Cisco Smart Licensing

Cisco Smart Licensing is a flexible licensing model that provides you with an easier, faster, and more consistent way to purchase and manage software across the Cisco portfolio and across your organization. And it’s secure – you control what users can access. With Smart Licensing you get:

Easy Activation: Smart Licensing establishes a pool of software licenses that can be used across the entire organization—no more PAKs (Product Activation Keys).
Unified Management: My Cisco Entitlements (MCE) provides a complete view into all of your Cisco products and services in an easy-to-use portal, so you always know what you have and what you are using.
License Flexibility: Your software is not node-locked to your hardware, so you can easily use and transfer licenses as needed.

To use Smart Licensing, you must first set up a Smart Account on Cisco Software Central (http://software.cisco.com).

Important

Cisco Smart Licensing is the default and the only available method to manage licenses.

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

Deploying Smart Licensing

The following provides a process overview of a day 0 to day N deployment directly initiated from a device that is running Cisco IOS XE Fuji 16.9.1 or later releases. Links to the configuration guide provide detailed information to help you complete each one of the smaller tasks.

Procedure

Step 1

Begin by establishing a connection from your network to Cisco Smart Software Manager on cisco.com.

In the software configuration guide of the required release, see System Management → Configuring Smart Licensing → Connecting to CSSM

Step 2

Create and activate your Smart Account, or login if you already have one.

To create and activate Smart Account, go to Cisco Software Central → Create Smart Accounts. Only authorized users can activate the Smart Account.

Step 3

Complete the Cisco Smart Software Manager set up.

Accept the Smart Software Licensing Agreement.
Set up the required number of Virtual Accounts, users and access rights for the virtual account users.

Virtual accounts help you organize licenses by business unit, product type, IT group, and so on.
Generate the registration token in the Cisco Smart Software Manager portal and register your device with the token.

In the software configuration guide of the required release, see System Management → Configuring Smart Licensing → Registering the Device in CSSM

With this,

The device is now in an authorized state and ready to use.
The licenses that you have purchased are displayed in your Smart Account.

How Upgrading or Downgrading Software Affects Smart Licensing

Starting from Cisco IOS XE Fuji 16.9.1, Smart Licensing is the default and only license management solution; all licenses are managed as Smart Licenses.

Important

Starting from Cisco IOS XE Fuji 16.9.1, the Right-To-Use (RTU) licensing mode is deprecated, and the associated license right-to-use command is no longer available on the CLI.

Note how upgrading to a release that supports Smart Licensing or moving to a release that does not support Smart Licensing affects licenses on a device:

When you upgrade from an earlier release to one that supports Smart Licensing—all existing licenses remain in evaluation mode until registered in Cisco Smart Software Manager. After registration, they are made available in your Smart Account.

In the software configuration guide of the required release, see System Management → Configuring Smart Licensing → Registering the Device in CSSM
When you downgrade to a release where Smart Licensing is not supported—all smart licenses on the device are converted to traditional licenses and all smart licensing information on the device is removed.

Using Smart Licensing on an Out-of-the-Box Device

Starting from Cisco IOS XE Fuji 16.9.1, if an out-of-the-box device has the software version factory-provisioned, all licenses on such a device remain in evaluation mode until registered in Cisco Smart Software Manager.

In the software configuration guide of the required release, see System Management → Configuring Smart Licensing → Registering the Device in CSSM

Scaling Guidelines

https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/switches/catalyst-9400-series-switches/nb-06-cat9400-ser-sup-eng-data-sheet-cte-en.html

Limitations and Restrictions

Cisco Catalyst 9400 Series 3200W DC Power Supply—The power supply module operates normally as long as DC input voltage is within the full input range (-40 to -75VDC). However, if the input voltage range is beyond the -51 to -57VDC range, Cisco IOS software displays the Capacity field as n.a (the show power command). This issue exists in the Cisco IOS XE Fuji 16.9.1 and Cisco IOS XE Fuji 16.9.2 releases; it is corrected in all the later releases of Cisco IOS XE Fuji 16.9.x train.
Cisco TrustSec restrictions—Cisco TrustSec can be configured only on physical interfaces, not on logical interfaces.
Control Plane Policing (CoPP)—The show run command does not display information about classes configured under system-cpp policy, when they are left at default values. Use the show policy-map system-cpp-policy or the show policy-map control-plane commands in privileged EXEC mode instead.
Flexible NetFlow limitations:
- You cannot configure NetFlow export using the Ethernet Management port (GigabitEthernet0/0).
- You can not configure a flow monitor on logical interfaces, such as switched virtual interfaces (SVIs), port-channel, loopback, tunnels.
- You can not configure multiple flow monitors of same type (ipv4, ipv6 or datalink) on the same interface for same direction.
Hardware limitations:
- When you use Cisco QSFP-4SFP10G-CUxM Direct-Attach Copper Cables, autonegotiation is enabled by default. If the other end of the line does not support autonegotation, the link does not come up.
Interoperability limitations:
- When you use Cisco QSFP-4SFP10G-CUxM Direct-Attach Copper Cables, if one end of the 40G link is a Catalyst 9400 Series Switch and the other end is a Catalyst 9500 Series Switch, the link does not come up, or comes up on one side and stays down on the other. To avoid this interoperability issue between devices, apply the speed nonegotiate command on the Catalyst 9500 Series Switch interface. This command disables autonegotiation and brings the link up. To restore autonegotiation, use the no speed nonegotiation command.
In-Service Software Upgrade (ISSU)
- While performing ISSU from Cisco IOS XE Fuji 16.9.x to Cisco IOS XE Gibraltar 16.12.x, if interface-id snmp-if-index command is not configured with OSPFv3, packet loss can occur. Configure the interface-id snmp-if-index command either during the maintenance window or after isolating the device (by using maintenance mode feature) from the network before doing the ISSU.
No service password recovery—With ROMMON versions R16.6.1r and R16.6.2r, the 'no service password-recovery' feature is not available.
QoS restrictions:
- When configuring QoS queuing policy, the sum of the queuing buffer should not exceed 100%.
- For QoS policies, only switched virtual interfaces (SVI) are supported for logical interfaces.
- QoS policies are not supported for port-channel interfaces, tunnel interfaces, and other logical interfaces.
- Stack Queuing and Scheduling (SQS) drops CPU bound packets exceeding 1.4 Gbps.

Redundancy—The supervisor module (hardware) supports redundancy. Software redundancy is supported starting with Cisco IOS XE Everest 16.6.2. However, the associated route processor redundancy (RPR) feature is not supported.

Before performing a switchover, use the show redundancy , show platform , and show platform software iomd redundancy commands to ensure that both the SSOs have formed and that the IOMD process is completed.

In the following sample output for the show redundancy , note that both the SSOs have formed.

With bootloader version 16.6.2r, you cannot access the M.2 SATA SSD drive at the ROMMON prompt (rommon> dir disk0). The system displays an error message indicating that the corresponding file system protocol is not found on the device. The only way to access the drive when on bootloader version 16.6.2r, is through the Cisco IOS prompt, after boot up.
Secure Shell (SSH)
- Use SSH Version 2. SSH Version 1 is not supported.
- When the device is running SCP and SSH cryptographic operations, expect high CPU until the SCP read process is completed. SCP supports file transfers between hosts on a network and uses SSH for the transfer.
  
  Since SCP and SSH operations are currently not supported on the hardware crypto engine, running encryption and decryption process in software causes high CPU. The SCP and SSH processes can show as much as 40 or 50 percent CPU usage, but they do not cause the device to shutdown.
Uplink Symmetry—When a redundant supervisor module is inserted, we recommend that you have symmetric uplinks, to minimize packet loss during a switchover.

Uplinks are said to be in symmetry when the same interface on both supervisor modules have the same type of transceiver module. For example, a TenGigabitEthernet interface with no transceiver installed operates at a default 10G mode; if the matching interface of the other supervisor has a 10G transceiver, then they are in symmetry. Symmetry provides the best SWO packet loss and user experience.

Asymmetric uplinks have at least one or more pairs of interfaces in one supervisor not matching the transceiver speed of the other supervisor.
VLAN Restriction—It is advisable to have well-defined segregation while defining data and voice domain during switch configuration and to maintain a data VLAN different from voice VLAN across the switch stack. If the same VLAN is configured for data and voice domains on an interface, the resulting high CPU utilization might affect the device.
YANG data modeling limitation—A maximum of 20 simultaneous NETCONF sessions are supported.
The File System Check (fsck) utility is not supported in install mode.

Caveats

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.

Cisco Bug Search Tool

The Cisco Bug Search Tool (BST) allows partners and customers to search for software bugs based on product, release, and keyword, and aggregates key data such as bug details, product, and version. The BST is designed to improve the effectiveness in network risk management and device troubleshooting. The tool has a provision to filter bugs based on credentials to provide external and internal bug views for the search input.
