Upgrading Field-Programmable Hardware Devices

The hardware-programmable firmware is upgraded when Cisco 4000 Series ISR contains an incompatible version of the hardware-programmable firmware. To do this upgrade, a hardware-programmable firmware package is released to customers.

Generally, an upgrade is necessary only when a system message indicates one of the field-programmable devices on the Cisco 4000 Series ISR needs an upgrade, or a Cisco technical support representative suggests an upgrade.

From Cisco IOS XE Release 3.10S onwards, you must upgrade the CPLD firmware to support the incompatible versions of the firmware on the Cisco 4000 Series ISR. For upgrade procedures, see the Upgrading Field-Programmable Hardware Devices for Cisco 4000 Series ISRs.

Feature Navigator

You can use Cisco Feature Navigator to find information about feature, platform, and software image support. To access Cisco Feature Navigator, go to https://cfnng.cisco.com/. An account on cisco.com is not required.

Table 2. New Software Features in Cisco IOS XE 17.16.1a

Feature

Description

Asymmetric Carrier Delay

Asymmetric Carrier Delay allows you to configure separate delay times for link-up and link-down event notification on physical interfaces.

From Cisco IOS XE 17.16.1a, asymmetric carrier delay is supported on Cisco 4000 Series Integrated Services Routers.

Configure Source Interface for High Speed Logging

From Cisco IOS XE 17.16.1a, you can configure source interfaces for High-Speed Logging (HSL) and SysLog for security logging in Cisco SD-WAN Manager. You can also enable HSL for your firewall messages, to allow a firewall to log records with minimum impact to packet processing.

Disablement of Weak SSH Algorithms

From Cisco IOS XE 17.16.1a, the ssh-rsa algorithm isdisabled by default on port 22 to improve security.

Enhanced Support for Binary Tracing

From Cisco IOS XE 17.16.1a onwards, you can retrieve events sent to the IOS process in the binary trace using the show logging process IOS module nhrp command, without enabling DMVPN event tracing.

Enhancement to the show cellular 0/x/0 connection Command

From Cisco IOS XE 17.16.1a, the output for the show cellular 0/x/0 connection command includes the following parameters:

  • Access Point Name (APN), and

  • Cellular Link Uptime

Monitoring Application Performance on SD-Routing Devices

In Cisco IOS XE 17.16.1a, you can now monitor TCP and RTP traffic on DMVPN tunnels for IKEv2 traffic using Application Response Time (ART) monitor and Media monitor respectively. This functionality is only supported on DMVPN tunnels with IKEv2 encryption.

Monitoring Crypto VPN Solutions on SD-Routing Devices

If you have configured crypto VPN solutions such as DMVPN, FlexVPN or Layer 3 VPNs on SD-Routing devices, you can use Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Manager to visualize the VPN solution deployed in the network and observe the functioning of the devices using various states, stats, charts and events.Having high visibility into the network can help identify errors in real time therefore reducing the network downtime.

Speed Test Enhancement for SD-Routing Devices

From Cisco IOS XE 17.16.1a, Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Manager enables site-to-site speed tests to measure bandwidth between devices over DMVPN tunnels. These tests check upload speed from the source device to the destination, and measure download speed from destination to the source device.

UTD Container Management for SD-Routing Devices

When Cisco IOS-XE autonomous devices transition to Cisco SD-Routing mode, the Unified Threat Defense (UTD) Container Migration feature ensures that existing container functionalities are preserved. From Cisco IOS XE 17.16.1a you can detect, upgrade, and manage UTD Security Virtual Images through Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Manager. For devices without pre-existing containers, you can also install and manage UTD images using policy groups.

CUBE Features

CUBE: Secure Communications Interoperability Protocol (SCIP) support in CUBE

From Cisco IOS XE 17.16.1a onwards, support for Secure Communication Interoperability Protocol (SCIP) voice and video codec is available, that ensures secure traffic sessions between the endpoints.

Note

 

Preview Feature Disclaimer: The Secure Communications Interoperability Protocol (SCIP) feature in Cisco IOS XE 17.16.1a release is available in 'preview’ mode as it includes limited functionality or incomplete software dependencies. Cisco reserves the right to disable preview features at any time without notice. Cisco Technical Support provides reasonable effort support for features in preview mode. There is no Service Level Objective (SLO) in response times for features in preview mode; response times may be slow.

Configure the Router for Web User Interface

This section explains how to configure the router to access Web User Interface. Web User Interface requires the following basic configuration to connect to the router and manage it.

  • An HTTP or HTTPs server must be enabled with local authentication.

  • A local user account with privilege level 15 and accompanying password must be configured.

  • Vty line with protocol SSH/Telnet must be enabled with local authentication. This is needed for interactive commands.

  • For more information on how to configure the router for Web User Interface, see Cisco 4000 Series ISRs Software Configuration Guide, Cisco IOS XE 17.
