New Features in Cisco IOS Release 12.2(15)BX

The following new features and improvements are supported on the Cisco 10000 router in Cisco IOS Release 12.2(15)BX. For more information on configuring these features, see the Cisco 10000 Series ESR Broadband Aggregation Configuration Guide.

Layer 2 Tunnel Protocol Features

L2TP Access Concentrator—Cisco IOS Release 12.2(15)BX brings L2TP Access Concentrator (LAC) capability to the Cisco 10000 router. LAC capability encapsulates PPPoX sessions in L2TP tunnels, allowing wholesale providers to tunnel subscriber PPP sessions to the retail provider. PPP in L2TP sessions are encapsulated in IP packets and forwarded over any IP transport network.

LAC functionality on the router includes MTU Path Discovery, allowing the PPP client to run the path MTU discovery algorithm to adjust the maximum MTU it can send—without forcing fragmentation.

L2TP on MPLS Interfaces—L2TP on MPLS Interfaces allow the Cisco 10000 router to receive L2TP tunnelled traffic on an MPLS tag interface.

Broadband Protocols

Broadband DCHP Functionality

The following new broadband DCHP functionality is supported by Cisco IOS Release 12.2(15)BX:

Broadband MPLS

The following new broadband MPLS features are supported by Cisco IOS Release 12.2(15)BX:

Broadband Quality of Service

The following new broadband Quality of Service (QoS) features are supported by Cisco IOS Release 12.2(15)BX:

Multilink Frame Relay

Cisco IOS Release 12.2(15)BX supports Multilink Frame Relay (MLFR). MLFR enables service providers to bond multiple Frame Relay DLCIs into a single logical link.

IP QoS for LNS Sessions

With Cisco IOS Release 12.2(15)BX, when the Cisco 10000 router is configured as an LNS, IP QoS for LNS sessions allows a QoS service policy to be applied to a PPP session in an L2TP tunnel (LNS side only). The actions in the service policy are restricted to policing and marking.

RADIUS, AAA, and Tunnel Selection

Cisco IOS Release 12.2(15)BX includes the following RADIUS, AAA, and tunnel selection new features:

Support for New Line Cards

•

Cisco 10000 Router Performance Routing Engine ESR-PRE2—Next generation route processor for the Cisco 10000 router, providing 6.2 Mpps of processing power, backplane throughput of 6.4 Gbps per slot, and processor redundancy.

•

Cisco OC-48/STM-16 Packet over SONET line card—A full-height line card for the Cisco 10000 router that provides a trunk uplink capable of supporting up to 2.4 Gbps full duplex throughput over a standard SONET/ITU-T Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH) interface, using a single mode fiber with SC connectors.

•

Cisco 24-port E1 line card—A full-slot line card with 24 ports which you can configure as E1 interfaces. Each port on the line card provides one or more interfaces that can be configured as framed (channelized) or unframed (unchannelized) interfaces.

•

8-port Fast Ethernet line card—A half-height line card containing eight 100BASE-TX ports. Each port autonegotiates between half and full duplex mode and supports 100BASE-T only. The FE line card provides the Cisco 10000 router with IEEE 802.3u-compliant 100BASE-TX Ethernet interfaces for high-density uplinks to content servers, routers, and other FE devices.

Cisco 10000 Series Router MIB Enhancements

Management Information Base (MIB) enhancements in Cisco IOS Release 12.2(15)BX provide enhanced management features that enable you to manage broadband configurations through the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). These enhanced management features allow you to:

•

Manage and monitor Cisco 10000 resources through an SNMP-based network management system

•

Reduce the amount of time and system resources required to perform functions like inventory management and bulk data transfers

•

A standards-based technology (SNMP) for monitoring faults and performance on the router

For information about broadband MIB capabilities on the router, see the Cisco 10000 Series Internet Router Broadband MIB Specifications Guide (version 2) at the following URL:

Note MIBs for broadband configurations were first introduced in Cisco IOS Release 12.2(15)BZ, which was a limited release.

Limitations and Restrictions

This section describes any limitations and restrictions that you should review before you use the Cisco 10000 router.

L2TP Tunnel Authorization

Cisco 10000 router supports L2TP tunnel authorization. However, RADIUS does not provide attributes for such parameter values as L2TP tunnel timeouts, L2TP tunnel hello intervals, and L2TP tunnel receive window size. When the Cisco 10000 router does not receive a RADIUS attribute for a parameter, the router uses the default value.

Broadband Aggregation Groups

Cisco IOS Release 12.2(15)BX does not support the configuration of Broadband Aggregation (BBA) groups using RADIUS. You must configure BBA groups manually.

ATM PXF Queuing

If you intend to disable ATM PXF queuing, to ensure reliable operation, you must enter the no atm pxf queuing mode command before you configure any VCs on an interface. If you have already configured VCs on an interface, and you need to disable ATM PXF queuing, remove the VCs from the configuration and then change the ATM PXF queuing mode.

ToS Settings on a Virtual Template

If you configure a ToS setting on a virtual template on the Cisco 10000 router, the inner (users) IP ToS settings are reflected in the outer IP TOS settings of the L2TP.

QoS Service Policy on a Virtual Access Interface

If you apply an output QoS service policy on a virtual-access interface, and that virtual access interface is L2TP tunneled (When the router is configured as an LNS, for example) and the service policy indicates that the TOS or DSCP bits should be set (with the set ip command, for example), the router sends the packets as-is, without changing the IP Precedence bits or DSCP bits. The outer header gets the correct value, but the inner header is not changed.

CISCO-VPDN-MGMT MIB

SNMP limits the size of Virtual Private Dialup Network (VPDN) template names to 128 characters. This affects the functionality of the CISCO-VPDN-MGMT MIB. Due to this restriction, if any template name (cvpdnTemplateName) in the cvpdnTemplateTable exceeds 128 characters, you cannot use an SNMP getmany request to retrieve any table entries. Instead, you must use individual getone requests to retrieve each template name that does not exceed 128 characters. For more information, see the Cisco 10000 Series ESR Broadband MIB Specifications Guide.

AAA Method Lists

Cisco IOS Release 12.2(14)BX supports a maximum of 99 authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA) method lists. If you configure more than 99 AAA method lists using the aaa authentication ppp or aaa authorization network command, traceback messages appear on the console.

RBE Subinterfaces with Per Session Rate Limiting

With Cisco IOS Release 12.2(15)BX, the Cisco 10000 router supports a maximum of 2,000 RBE RFC 1483 routed subinterfaces with per-session rate limiting.

Unshaped UBR PVCs

Cisco IOS Release 12.2(15)BX supports a maximum of 8000 unshaped UBR VCs on the OC-12 ATM line card. An unshaped UBR PVC is a PVC that has no rate configured on it. You can configure up to 16,000 shaped UBR VCs per port on the OC-12 line card if you configure the VCs with a shaped rate less than 299 Mbps.

Controlling the Rate of Logging Messages

It is important that you limit the rate that system messages are logged by the Cisco 10000 router. This helps to avoid a situation in which the router becomes unstable and the CPU is overloaded. To control the output of messages from the system, use the logging rate-limit command.

This rate-limits all messages to the console to 10 per second, except for messages with critical priority (level 3) or greater.

For more information on the logging rate-limit command, see the Cisco IOS Configuration Fundamentals Command Reference.

Testing Performance of High-Speed Interfaces

Cisco IOS software running on the Cisco 10000 router has multiple queues for all classes of traffic over high-speed interfaces. The software selects a queue based on the source and destination address for the packet. This ensures that a traffic flow always uses the same queue and the packets are transmitted in proper order.

When the Cisco 10000 router is installed in a real network, the high-speed interfaces work efficiently to spread traffic flow equally over the queues. However, using single traffic streams in a laboratory environment may result in less-than-expected performance.

Therefore, to ensure accurate test results, you should test the throughput of the gigabit Ethernet, POS, or ATM uplink with multiple source or destination addresses.

Tip

To determine if traffic is being properly distributed, use the show hardware pxf cpu queue command.

Important Notes

This section contains important issues that you should be aware of with Cisco IOS Release 12.2(15)BX.

Provisioning for Scaling

Cisco engineers have identified several configuration parameters that enable the Cisco 10000 router to scale the configuration. Please ensure that you have the following commands and parameters in your configuration. For more information about configuring the Cisco 10000 router for the highest scaling, see the Cisco 10000 Series ESR Broadband Aggregation Feature Guide.

PPPoA sessions with IP QoS Static Routes

To scale to 32,000 PPPoA with IP QoS enabled, you must limit the number of IP QoS static routes to 4,000 unidirectional QoS static routes.

AAA Authentication on the NME Port

If you use AAA authentication on the NME port, set both the in and out interface hold queues to 4096. For example:

Call Admission Control

We recommend that you set the Call Admission Control (CAC) to a maximum of 95. For example:

Inserting a New Line Card

Unlike other Cisco routers, if you insert a new or different line card into a Cisco 10000 chassis slot that previously had a line card installed, the line card initially reports that it is administratively up.

Open Caveats in Cisco IOS Release 12.2(15)BX

Table 2 Open Caveats in Cisco IOS Release 12.2(15)BX
Caveat	Description
CSCdy79740	If 32,000 PPPoA sessions, 99 VRFs, RADIUS authentication, and the per vrf aaa case command are configured on the Cisco 10000 router, and you insert or remove a line card, the PPPoA sessions go down within 45 seconds of the OIR event. When this happens, the following traceback message may appear on the console: `[%IPRT-4-ROUTECOUNTNEGATIVE]` Workaround: There is currently no workaround.
CSCea35508	The throughput of Frame Relay traffic may be up to 5 percent lower than the maximum possible throughput. Workaround: There is currently no workaround.
CSCea37038	If APS is configured using the aps force atm <slot/subslot/port> from protect command on the 4-port OC-3 line card or the single-port OC-12 ATM line card, and a signal failure is received on the port of either line card, the output of the show interface atm <slot/subslot/port> command may indicate the interface is up instead of down. Workaround: Clear the force state as soon as the port has been designated as working, by entering the aps clear atm <slot/subslot/port> command.
CSCea41145	The output of the show vpdn tunnel summary command fails to display tunnels that have no-session timeout (set using the l2tp timeout no-session timeout never command). Workaround: Do not set the no session timeout to never. In the following example, the no-session timeout is set to 30: `router# l2tp timeout no-session 30`
CSCea45943	In a Cisco 10000 chassis with redundant PREs, after a switch-over from the primary PRE to the secondary PRE, the traffic rate of the single-port OC-12 ATM line card is low. Workaround: There is currently no workaround.
CSCea46149	If you connect a test analyzer to the 6-port channelized T3 line card, and you configure a T1 under a T3 controller, and the line card and the test analyzer are both set to ESF framing, the T1 does not come up. Workaround: There is currently no workaround.
CSCea51673	If you enter the show ip dhcp pool command, and if the output to the console is paused (requiring that you hit any key to view the second page of that output), the statistics may be incorrect. Workaround: You can avoid this problem by performing one of the following: •Set the length of the console (or VTY) to zero by entering the term length 0 command. •Set the length of the console to be greater than the output of the command (based on configuration and pool usage). •When the output pauses at the --More-- prompt, respond immediately to allow the command output to complete.
CSCea52741	If the Cisco 10000 router reloads unexpectedly, any ODAP subnets allocated from the Network Registrar (CNR) remain marked as Leased (at the CNR). Workaround: There is currently no workaround to this problem. However, if this should occur, the subnets are released when the Lease-time expires, or they may be released manually through the CNR Command Line Interface (CLI).
CSCea67815	While disabling 32,000 sessions over 10,000 L2TP tunnels on a Cisco 10000 router configured as an LNS with RADIUS AAA accounting enabled, the router may terminate the remaining sessions due to the overwhelming number of RADIUS records generated by this event. If this occurs, the following message may appear on the console: `%ALIGN-3-TRACE` Workaround: There is currently no workaround.
CSCea73477	Packet counters and debug messages on the Cisco 10000 router cannot be used to accurately count or view ILMI keepalive messages. This is because basic ILMI configurations generate bursts of ILMI transactions between the Cisco 10000 and adjacent ATM switches. For example, if you connect an OC-3 ATM line card that is installed in a Cisco 10000 router to a Cisco LS1010 ATM switch, and you enable debugging using the debug atm ilmi command, the packet counters for the ILMI PVC increment to match the bursts of packets. Workaround: There is currently no workaround for this problem. However, this problem does not affect the performance or operation of the router.
CSCea77321	If the primary PRE fails, and the primary PRE switches over to the secondary (redundant) PRE, ODAP subnets that had been allocated to the previously active primary PRE remain marked as Leased by the Access Registrar (AR) Workaround: Release the sessions associated with the subnets at the AR.
CSCea78453	In rare circumstances, if you enter the hw-module slot <slot> shutdown command followed by the no card command, the router reloads unexpectedly. Workaround: There is currently no workaround for this problem. However, this problem rarely occurs, and you are unlikely to experience it.
CSCea78489	If you load and run the c10k2-eboot-mz image on the Cisco 10000 router, and an AAA server group is defined in the startup configuration, the following message appears on the console: `% Image does not support any AAA protocols.` `% Image does not support any AAA protocols.` Workaround: There is currently no workaround. This message is generated from the eboot image and can be ignored.
CSCea78861	If you enter the ip verify unicast rpf command for a virtual template, the calls-per-second rate is reduced. Workaround: There is currently no workaround for this problem. However, this problem only reduces the calls-per-second rate and does not otherwise affect the performance of the router.
CSCea78890	If you perform a tftp copy of a running configuration greater than 5 MB to a tftp server, the copy fails. Workaround: Copy the running configuration to the bootflash and then copy the configuration from the bootflash to the tftp server.
CSCea78899	If you have an OC-48 line card installed in the Cisco 10000 router that is transmitting and receiving traffic, and you remove it and install a channelized CT3 line card, and you then remove the channelized CT3 line card and re-insert the OC-48 line card, the POS interface flaps continuously. Workaround: Reload the line card.
CSCea81015	If you configure the management Ethernet port (fastethernet 0/0/0) on the PRE2 front panel using the ip address dhcp command, the port does not acquire an IP address. Workaround: Configure the fastethernet 0/0/0 interface with a static IP address.
CSCea82309	If you open two configuration sessions from two consoles on the PRE-2, a failure message appears on the consoles stating that simultaneous configuration is not supported. Workaround: There is currently no workaround.

Resolved Caveats in Cisco IOS Release 12.2(15)BX

Previously, if you pressed the break key, you could not enter ROMMON mode during the first 30 seconds after poweron. This problem has been fixed.

Previously, the show facility-alarm status command did not display the status of the external alarm contact for each alarm. This problem has been fixed.

Previously, if you typed the no tftp-server flash: command followed by a question mark (?), and then pressed the Enter key on the console, the CLI did not list more options for the command. This problem has been fixed.

Previously, if a T1 was configured under a T3 on channelized OC-12 line card, and the far end was sending LOF to near end, no alarms appeared to indicate that the T1 was down. This problem has been fixed.

Previously, if you configured the 4-port channelized STM-1 line card or the channelized OC-12 line card under SDH framing, and the j1 path trace buffer length was set to 16 bytes, messages inserted from a Hewlett-Packard Omniber test analyzer were not received on the Cisco 10000 router as expected.

Also, when the j1 path trace buffer length was set to 64 bytes, Tx/Rx path trace messages from the Cisco 10000 router to test analyzer, and from the test analyzer to the Cisco 10000 router were not received as expected. This problem has been fixed.

Previously, if you configured the channelized OC-12 line card with SF framing on the near and far end, the far end experienced a loss-of-frame (LOF) alarm. This problem has been fixed.

Previously, if you configured a controller on an 8-port E3/DS3 line card as E3, the Ethernet interfaces were ignored during when the router booted, and the interfaces were not configured after bootup. This problem has been fixed.

Previously, the Cisco 10000 router reloaded unexpected if you enter the show tag tdp neighbor command. This problem has been fixed.

Previously, in a laboratory test, when a Hewlett-Packard Omniber test analyzer was connected to a channnelized OC-12 line card that was configured for SDH, the au4-tug3 controllers 2 and 3 did not connect. This problem has been fixed.

Previously, the CLI for the 2-port channelized OC-12 line card showed the card slot <x/x> command as an available command when it was not supported. This problem has been fixed.

Previously, after the PRE initially loaded, if you entered a command on the file system of the secondary PRE, any error was returned as "unknown" instead of the correct error message text. This problem has been fixed.

Previously, the internal interface FastEthernet 0/0/1 appeared in the output of the show ip interface command. This problem has been fixed.

Previously, if you shut down the 4-port channelized STM-1 line card au-3 c-3 controller, traceback messages appeared on the console. This problem has been fixed.

GRE implementation of Cisco IOS is compliant with RFC2784 and RFC2890 and backward compatible with RFC1701.

Other Caveats

This section includes caveats listed in previous release notes that are regarded as resolved because they are either unreproducible, they were reported in error, or they do not affect the behavior of the Cisco 10000 router. If a caveat listed in this section causes problems, contact Cisco customer service.

Previously, it was reported that the output of the show controller e1 command showed the status of the E1 controller on the 24-port channelized E1/T1 line card as down when it was actually up. We have been unable to reproduce this problem.
