Release Notes for Cisco ASR 9000 Series Routers, IOS XR Release 6.9.2

Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Routers (ASR 9000 Series) deliver unprecedented scale, service flexibility, and high availability for service providers’ fixed and mobile networks, data centers, and transport networks. The routers are powered by Cisco IOS XR Software, an innovative, self-healing, distributed operating system designed for always-on operation while scaling system capacity into multiple terabits per second (Tbps).

For more information about ASR 9000 Series routers, see ASR 9000 Data Sheet listing page.

Cisco IOS XR Software is a distributed operating system designed for continuous system operation combined with service flexibility and higher performance.

To migrate from legacy 32 bit and new 64 bit IOS XR OS, refer to the Migration Guide for Cisco ASR 9000 Series Routers.

This release notes describe the features provided in the Cisco IOS XR Software Release 6.9.2. See the What's New in Cisco IOS XR Release 6.9.2 section in this document for information on new software features.

Caveats

There are no caveats in this release.

Other Important Information

  • Repetitive Smart Licensing evaluation expired warning messages are displayed on the console every hour, but there is no functionality impact observed on the device. To stop these repetitive messages, you should register the device again with a new registration token.

  • Cisco IOS XR Release 5.3.0 and later does not support the first and third generation Cisco ASR 9000 Line Cards to coexist in a single chassis.

    For the list of ASR 9000 Series line card types, see: http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/routers/asr-9000-series-aggregation-services-routers/116726-qanda-product-00.html#anc2

  • From IOS XR Release 6.0, A9K-RSP-4G, A9K-RSP-8G and the first generation ASR 9000 LCs are not supported. For a detailed listing, see End-of-Life and End-of-Sale Notices

  • In IOS XR Releases 6.8.x and 6.9.x, 2nd generation of ASR 9000 line cards is not supported.

  • From Release 6.0, the onePK toolkit is not supported.

  • Country-specific laws, regulations, and licenses—In certain countries, use of these products may be prohibited and subject to laws, regulations, or licenses, including requirements applicable to the use of the products under telecommunications and other laws and regulations; customers must comply with all such applicable laws in the countries in which they intend to use the products.

  • Exceeding Cisco testing—If you intend to test beyond the combined maximum configuration tested and published by Cisco, contact your Cisco Technical Support representative to discuss how to engineer a large-scale configuration for your purpose.

  • Installing a Line Card—For a fully populated 40-port high density Line Card with cable optics, maintenance time required for card replacement is higher. For more information about Line Card installation and removal, refer to the Cisco ASR 9000 Aggregation Services Router Ethernet Line Card Installation Guide.

    Supported Modular Port Adapters

    For the compatibility details of Modular Port Adapters (MPAs) on the line cards, see the datasheet of that specific line card.

    Upgrading Cisco IOS XR Software

    Cisco IOS XR Software is installed and activated from modular packages, allowing specific features or software patches to be installed, upgraded, or downgraded without affecting unrelated processes. Software packages can be upgraded or downgraded on all supported card types, or on a single card (node).

    Software packages are installed from package installation envelope (PIE) files that contain one or more software components.

    The upgrade document is available along with the software images.

    Cisco Software Manager (CSM) application provides an intuitive user interface to manage Cisco IOS XR installations, with pre-installation and post-installation checks and reports. CSM helps manage the process of software maintenance upgrades (SMUs) and service packs (SPs) on devices that run the Cisco IOS XR Software.

    For information on how to use CSM, see Cisco Software Manager User Guide.

    Production Software Maintenance Updates (SMUs)

    A production SMU is a SMU that is formally requested, developed, tested, and released. Production SMUs are intended for use in a live network environment and are formally supported by the Cisco TAC and the relevant development teams. Software bugs identified through software recommendations or Bug Search Tools are not a basis for production SMU requests.

    For information on production SMU types, refer the Production SMU Types section of the IOS XR Software Maintenance Updates (SMUs) guide.
