Software Features in Cisco IOS XE Fuji 16.9.2

Feature Name

Description and License Level Information

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.

See Programmability Configuration Guide.

Sampled NetFlow

The feature is now available at the LAN Base license level.


(LAN Base, IP Base, and IP Services)

Smart Licensing and Device Led Conversion

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.

You can use the device-led conversion feature to convert all existing, traditional licenses, to smart licenses. As part of the conversion process, migration data is sent to Cisco Smart Software Manager. Cisco Smart Software Manager creates license entitlements and deposits them in your user account.


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.

Transport Layer Security (TLS) Client

Provides secure and reliable signaling and data transfer between two systems or devices, by using secure ports and certificate exchange.

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 InterfaceUnderstanding 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.

Finding the Software Version

The package files for the Cisco IOS XE software are stored on the system board flash device (flash:).

You can use the show version privileged EXEC command to see the software version that is running on your switch.


Note

Although the show version output always shows the software image running on the switch, the model name shown at the end of this display is the factory configuration and does not change if you upgrade the software license.

You can also use the dir filesystem: privileged EXEC command to see the directory names of other software images that you might have stored in flash memory.

Automatic Boot Loader Upgrade

When you upgrade from any prior Cisco IOS XE 3.x.xE release to a Cisco IOS XE Denali 16.x.x, or Cisco IOS XE Everest 16.x.x, or Cisco IOS XE Fuji 16.x.x release for the first time, the boot loader may be automatically upgraded, based on the hardware version of the switch. If the boot loader is automatically upgraded, it will take effect on the next reload. If you go back to a Cisco IOS XE Release 3.x.xE, your boot loader will not be downgraded. The updated boot loader supports all previous releases.

For subsequent Cisco IOS XE Denali 16.x.x, or Cisco IOS XE Everest 16.x.x, or Cisco IOS XE Fuji 16.x.x releases, if there is a new bootloader in the release, it may be automatically upgraded based on the hardware version of the switch when you boot up your switch with the new image for the first time.


Caution

Do not power cycle your switch during the upgrade.

Scenario

Automatic Boot Loader Response

If you boot Cisco IOS XE Fuji 16.9.1 or Cisco IOS XE Fuji 16.9.2 or Cisco IOS XE Fuji 16.9.3 or Cisco IOS XE Fuji 16.9.4 or Cisco IOS XE Fuji 16.9.5 or Cisco IOS XE Fuji 16.9.6 or Cisco IOS XE Fuji 16.9.7or Cisco IOS XE Fuji 16.9.8 for the first time.

The boot loader may be upgraded to version 4.68. For example:

ROM: IOS-XE ROMMON
BOOTLDR: CAT3K_CAA Boot Loader (CAT3K_CAA-HBOOT-M) Version 4.68, RELEASE SOFTWARE (P)

If the automatic boot loader upgrade occurs, while booting Cisco IOS XE Fuji 16.9.1or Cisco IOS XE Fuji 16.9.2 or Cisco IOS XE Fuji 16.9.3 or Cisco IOS XE Fuji 16.9.4 or Cisco IOS XE Fuji 16.9.5 or Cisco IOS XE Fuji 16.9.6, you will see the following on the console:

%IOSXEBOOT-Tue-###: (rp/0): Oct 17 13:07:19 Universal 2017 PLEASE DO NOT POWER CYCLE ### BOOT LOADER UPGRADING 4
%IOSXEBOOT-loader-boot: (rp/0): upgrade successful 4

Automatic Microcode Upgrade

During a Cisco IOS image upgrade or downgrade on a PoE or UPoE switch, the microcode is updated to reflect applicable feature enhancements and bug fixes. Do not restart the switch during the upgrade or downgrade process.

Starting with Cisco IOS XE Denali 16.1.1 and all later releases:It takes approximately an additional 4 minutes to complete the microcode upgrade in addition to the normal reload time; however, data traffic continues to be forwarded during the upgrade. The microcode update occurs only during an image upgrade or downgrade on PoE or UPoE switches. It does not occur during switch reloads or on non-PoE switches.

The following console messages are displayed during microcode upgrade:

MM [1] MCU version 111 sw ver 105
MM [2] MCU version 111 sw ver 105

Step 3

Reload

If you said ‘Yes’ to the prompt in software install and your switches are configured with auto boot, the stack will automatically boot up with the new image. If not, you can manually boot flash:packages.conf

  1. boot flash:packages.conf

    Use this command to manually boot the new image.

    Note 
    When you boot the new image, the boot loader is automatically updated.
    
    switch: boot flash:packages.conf

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

When upgrading from ...

To...

Cisco IOS XE Release 3.x.xE

Cisco IOS XE Fuji 16.x.x

or Cisco IOS XE Everest 16.x.x

or Cisco IOS XE Denali 16.x.x

The sample output shows upgrade from Cisco IOS XE Release 3.7.3E to Cisco IOS XE Fuji 16.9.1

Copy new image to stack

Note 
You cannot boot Cisco IOS XE Fuji 16.x.x, Cisco IOS XE Everest 16.x.x, or Cisco IOS XE Denali 16.x.x via TFTP for the first time with a Cisco IOS XE 3.x.xE boot loader. The Cisco IOS XE 3.x.xE boot loaders have a limitation, which prevents the booting of an image larger than 400MB via the TFTP server. Since Cisco IOS XE Fuji 16.x.x, Cisco IOS XE Everest 16.x.x, and Cisco IOS XE Denali 16.x.x images are larger than 400MB, you must boot the image via flash.
  1. show run | i tftp

Step 2

Copy new image to stack

Copy the new image to flash: (If you point to the source image on a TFTP server you can skip this section and go to: Software install image to flash).

  1. copy tftp: flash:

    Use this command to copy the image from the tftp server to flash.

    Switch# copy tftp://5.28.11.250/cat3k_caa-universalk9.16.09.01.SPA.bin flash:
    cat3k_caa-universalk9.16.09.01.SPA.bin
    Destination filename [cat3k_caa-universalk9.16.09.01.SPA.bin]?
    Accessing tftp://5.28.11.250/cat3k_caa-universalk9.16.09.01.SPA.bin...
    Loading cat3k_caa-universalk9.16.09.01.SPA.bin from 5.28.11.250 (via
    GigabitEthernet0/0):
    !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    [OK - 373203016 bytes]
    
    
  2. dir flash:

    Use this command to confirm that the image has been successfully copied to flash.

    Switch# dir flash:*.bin
    Directory of flash:/
     
    32339 -rw- 373217171 Jul 10 2018 13:52:53 -07:00 cat3k_caa-universalk9.16.09.01.SPA.bin
     
    1562509312 bytes total (731021312 bytes free)
    Switch#
     
    
Step 3

Set boot variable

  1. boot system flash:packages.conf

    Use this command to set the boot variable to flash:packages.conf .

    Switch(config)# boot system flash:packages.conf
    Switch(config)# exit
  2. write memory

    Use this command to save boot settings.

    Switch# write memory
  3. show boot system

    Use this command to verify the boot variable is set to flash:packages.conf .

    The output should display BOOT variable = flash:packages.conf .

    Switch# show boot system
Step 4

Software install image to flash

  1. request platform software package install

    Use this command to install the target image to flash. Use the switch all option to upgrade all switches in your stack. Use the auto-copy option to copy the .bin image from flash: to all other switches in your stack

    We recommend copying the image to a TFTP server or the flash drive of the active switch. If you point to an image on the flash or USB drive of a member switch (instead of the active), you must specify the exact flash or USB drive - otherwise installation fails. For example, if the image is on the flash drive of member switch 3, the corresponding flash drive is flash-3: Switch# request platform software package install switch all file flash-3:cat3k_caa-universalk9.16.09.01.SPA.bin new auto-copy

    Note 
    You must use the new option when you upgrade from Cisco IOS XE Denali 16.1.x, 16.2.x or 16.3.1 to Cisco IOS XE Everest 16.x.x or Cisco IOS XE Fuji 16.8.1a, because there are packaging changes in the different 16.x.x releases.
    Note 
    When you execute the command, the following message is displayed. This is expected and does not affect the upgrade. See CSCux82059: Unknown package type 21

    Switch#
    
    
  4. delete flash:

    If an image is still saved, use this command to delete it, if not, it has been deleted as part of the install operation and you can skip this step.

    Switch# delete flash:cat3k_caa-universalk9.16.09.01.SPA.bin
    Delete filename [cat3k_caa-universalk9.16.09.01.SPA.bin]?
    Delete flash:/ cat3k_caa-universalk9.16.09.01.SPA.bin? [confirm]
    Switch#
    
    
Step 5

Reload

  1. reload

    Use this command in the privileged EXEC mode to reload the switch.

    Switch# reload
    
    
  2. boot flash:

    If the switch is configured with auto boot, then the stack automatically boots up with the new image. If not, you can manually boot flash:packages.conf

    switch:boot flash:packages.conf
    
    
  3. show version

    Use this command to verify the version of the new image.

    Switch# show version

  3. show boot system

    Use this command to verify the boot variable is set to flash:packages.conf .

    The output should display BOOT variable = flash:packages.conf .

    Switch# show boot system
Step 4

Software install image to flash

  1. request platform software package install

    Use this command to install the target image to flash.

    We recommend copying the image to a TFTP server or the flash drive of the active switch. If you point to an image on the flash or USB drive of a member switch (instead of the active), you must specify the exact flash or USB drive - otherwise installation fails. For example, if the image is on the flash drive of member switch 3, the corresponding flash drive is flash-3: Switch# request platform software package install switch all file flash-3:cat3k_caa-universalk9.16.10.01.SPA.bin new auto-copy

    Use the switch all option to upgrade or downgrade all the switches in your stack. Use the auto-copy option to copy the .bin image from flash: to all other switches in your stack

    Note 

    Old files listed in the logs will not be removed from flash.

Step 3

Downgrade Software Image

  1. request platform software package install

    You can point to the source image on your tftpserver or in flash if you have it copied to flash.

    Use this command with the new option, to downgrade your stack. Use the switch all option to downgrade all the switches in your stack. Use the auto-copy option to copy the .bin image from flash: to all other switches in your stack.

    The old files listed in the logs should be removed using the software clean command, after reload.

  2. delete flash:

    After you have successfully installed the image, you no longer need the .bin image. Use this command to delete the file from flash of each switch if you copied it to flash.

    Switch# delete flash: cat3k_caa-universalk9.SPA.03.07.02.E.152-3.E2.bin
    Delete filename [cat3k_caa-universalk9.SPA.03.07.02.E.152-3.E2.bin]?
    Delete flash:/ cat3k_caa-universalk9.SPA.03.07.02.E.152-3.E2.bin? [confirm]
    Switch#
    
    
Step 4

Reload

  1. reload

    Use this command in the privileged EXEC mode to reload the switch.

    Switch# reload
    
    
  2. boot flash:

    If the switch is configured with auto boot, then the stack automatically boots up with the new image. If not, you can manually boot flash:packages.conf

    Note 
    When you downgrade to a Cisco IOS XE 3.xE image, the boot loader does not automatically downgrade. It remains updated. The new boot loader can support booting both Cisco IOS XE Release 3.x.xE releases as well as Cisco IOS XE Denali 16.x.x, Cisco IOS XE Everest 16.x.x, and Cisco IOS XE Fuji 16.x.x releases.
    
    Switch:boot flash:packages.conf

Licensing

This section provides information about the licensing packages for features available on Cisco Catalyst 3850 Series Switches.

License Levels

The software features available on Cisco Catalyst 3850 Series Switches fall under these base or add-on license levels.

Base Licenses

  • LAN Base—Provides basic Layer 2+ features, including access control lists (ACLs) and quality of service (QoS), up to 255 VLANs, support for routing protocols (Routing Information Protocol (RIP), Open Shortest Path First (OSPF), Policy-Based Routing (PBR), Protocol Independent Multicast Stub Routing (PIM Stub Routing) with IPv4 and IPv6, and routed access with IPv4 and IPv6 (OSPF — up to 1000 routes, Multicast — up to 1000 routes).

  • IP Base—Provides Layer 2+ and basic Layer 3 features (enterprise-class intelligent services). These features include access control lists (ACLs), quality of service (QoS), static routing, Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP) stub routing, IP multicast routing, RIP, basic IPv6 management, the OSPF Protocol (for routed access only). The license supports up to 4094 VLANs.

  • IP Services—Provides a richer set of enterprise-class intelligent services and full IPv6 support. It includes all IP Base features plus full Layer 3 routing (IP unicast routing and IP multicast routing). The IP Services feature set includes protocols such as the EIGRP, OSPF Protocol. The license supports up to 4094 VLANs.

Add-On Licenses

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 Advantage

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.

  • Evaluation—a license that is not registered.

License Levels - Usage Guidelines

  • A permanent license can be moved from one device to another.

  • A switch stack cannot contain mixed license levels. Also, the switches must be of the same platform.

  • 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.

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

Procedure

Step 1

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

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.

  1. Accept the Smart Software Licensing Agreement.

  2. 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.


What to do next
Register and convert traditional licenses to Smart Licenses

Converting Traditional Licenses to Smart Licenses

For Cisco Catalyst 3850 Series Switches, after you have upgraded the software image and deployed Smart Licensing, all traditional licenses on the device must be migrated, to Cisco Smart Software Manager. This is a one-time migration process that you must complete on each device.

Procedure

Step 1

Register the device

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 a Device in CSSM.

Step 2

Migrate base licenses

The system converts traditional licenses to smart licenses and sends migration data to Cisco Smart Software Manager, which in turn Cisco Smart Software Manager creates license entitlements and deposits them in your user account. In the software configuration guide of the required release, see System Management → Configuring Smart Licensing → Migrating a License with License Conversion..

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 and then converted. After conversion, they are made available in your Smart Account.

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

Scaling Guidelines

System Feature

Maximum Limit

Number of HTTP session redirections system-wide

Up to 100 clients per second

Number of HTTPS session redirections system-wide

Up to 20 clients per second

Limitations and Restrictions

  • Cisco TrustSec restrictions:

    • Cisco TrustSec can be configured only on physical interfaces, not on logical interfaces.

    • Cisco TrustSec cannot be configured on a pure bridging domain with the IPSG feature enabled. You must either enable IP routing or disable the IPSG feature in the bridging domain.

    • Dynamic SGACL download is limited to 6KB per destination group tag (DGT)

  • 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.

  • DHCP Client—Starting with Cisco IOS XE Denali 16.1.x, a DHCP client that includes option 61 (used by DHCP clients to specify their unique client identifier) in their DHCP discover/offer packet must accept the response message with option 61 from the DHCP server/relay. A client that fails to accept the response message with option 61, is not in compliance with RFC 6842 and requires a firmware upgrade.

  • Centralized Management Mode (CMM)—Starting with Cisco IOS XE Denali 16.3.1, CMM is not supported.

  • Flexible NetFlow—You cannot configure NetFlow export using the Ethernet Management port (GigabitEthernet0/0).

  • Flex Links are not supported. We recommend that you use spanning tree protocol (STP) as the alternative.

  • 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.

    • ISSU from Cisco IOS XE Fuji 16.9.x to Cisco IOS XE Gibraltar 16.12.x is not supported in the FIPs mode of operation.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • UPoE connections—On the WS-C3850-12X48U-L, WS-C3850-12X48U-S and WS-C3850-12X48U-E switch models, a maximum of 28 ports are available for UPoE connections.

  • 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.

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.
