Cisco IOS Release 15.9(3)M includes the following Cisco IOS images:
■c5921x86-universalk9_npe-ms.SPA
■c5921x86-universalk9_npe-tar.SPA
This section provides details on new features and functionality available in this release.
PMIP feature is now supported, as the design and implementation are platform independent and expected to work for the c5915 and c5921 platforms. Memory consumption depends on the number of mobile nodes & corresponding mobility sessions on a LMA/MAG. To support a single user session LMA/MAG needs:
PLR licensing feature allows using the reserved licenses in a disconnected mode. There are two types of reservation available, specific reservation and Universal reservation. At this time, PLR supports only Universal reservation. To enhance existing PLR feature the request is to provide support of different throughput levels, where as it support only unlimited/max throughput in current implementation. Base PLR support available only with universalk9 and univeralk9_npe images.
In Universal PLR, once license smart reservation" cli is configured and "license smart reservation install" has been successful, the below unlimited throughput entitlement will be activated based on throughput configured, before generating reservation request code.
The following lists some of the CLIs that pertain to this feature.
Enable/disable license reservation feature:
Configure platform plr-throughput level with appropriate throughput before generating request code:
Prints the “Reservation Request Code” that must be pasted into the portal to start the reservation process:
Enters the “Reservation Authorization Code” into the device to complete the process.
Prints the “Reservation Return Code” that must be pasted into the portal to return licenses and delete product instance:
Note : Uses the authorization code previously installed.
Prints the “Reservation Return Code” that must be pasted into the portal to return licenses and delete product instance.
Note : Uses the authorization code from the command line.
Cancels a reservation that is in progress and allows entitlement changes.
In order to switch between license throughputs, the old reservation should be returned if it is already installed:
Note : Take the return code and paste it into the CSSM portal to remove the license.
To switch between license throughputs, when license is not installed but a request code is generated, the old reservation code should be canceled and then generate a new one:
Previous versions of the C5921 Operating System would only support 32 bit operating systems. Starting with this release, support has been added for 64 bit operating systems with the addition of new libraries available to install.
There is a new image available for use on 64 bit machines named c5921x86-universalk9-SSA. <release>. The contents of the tarfile for the release will be:
Files that are new or modified include:
c5921-swr-init.sh - Modified to choose appropriate libraries and load the image based on OS type for 64-bit machines and works as it is for 32-bit machines.
swr_reload.sh - Introduced to use swr_reload by loading appropriate libraries and it required only for 64- bit machines.
swrvcon.sh - Introduced to use swrvcon by loading appropriate libraries and it required only for 64- bit machines.
The Cisco IOS Embedded Event Manager is an infrastructure feature that provides unique customization capabilities and event driven automation within Cisco products.
Event detectors determine when an SNMP event occurs. Event detectors are separate systems that provide an interface between the agent being monitored, for example SNMP, and the EEM policies where an action can be implemented.
