About Cisco 1000 Series Integrated Services Routers

The Cisco 1000 Series Integrated Services Routers (also referred to as router in this document) are powerful fixed branch routers based on the Cisco IOS XE operating system. They are multi-core routers with separate core for data plane and control plane. There are two primary models with 8 LAN ports and 4 LAN ports. Features such as Smart Licensing, VDSL2 and ADSL2/2+, 802.11ac with Wave 2, 4G LTE-Advanced and 3G/4G LTE and LTEA Omnidirectional Dipole Antenna (LTE-ANTM-SMA-D) are supported on the router.

Smart Licensing Using Policy

Starting with Cisco IOS XE Amsterdam 17.3.2 release, with the introduction of Smart Licensing Using Policy, even if you configure a hostname for a product instance or device, only the Unique Device Identifier (UDI) is displayed. This change in the display can be observed in all licensing utilities and user interfaces where the hostname was displayed in earlier releases. It does not affect any licensing functionality. There is no workaround for this limitation.

The licensing utilities and user interfaces that are affected by this limitation include only the following:

  • Cisco Smart Software Manager (CSSM),

  • Cisco Smart License Utility (CSLU), and

  • Smart Software Manager On-Prem (SSM On-Prem).

Security

Custom IPS signature sets From Cisco IOS XE 17.18.1a release, Custom IPS signature sets are supported in Cisco SD-WAN Manager, which allows you to create and deploy personalized Snort3 IPS signature sets.This feature allows direct modification of actions for existing IPS rules within profiles and supports building custom rules using rule groups or existing rules. With Custom IPS signature sets, organizations can gain greater control and precision in tailoring threat detection to their specific security needs.

Ease of Use

Certificate Management on SD-Routing Devices This feature introduces a new certificate authorization setting, Enterprise Certificate Settings, which unifies certificate configurations for SD-Routing devices. Cisco SD-WAN Manager automates certificate management by leveraging protocols like EST (Enrolment over Secure Transport) and SCEP (Simple Certificate Enrolment Protocol). The feature automates the enrolment, and renewal of certificates.

Ease of use

Configure cellular band select for cellular interfaces on SD-Routing devices You can select specific frequency bands to which the device can connect to, allowing optimized connection depending on location and network availability. This configuration can be done using Feature Parcels in Catalyst Cisco SD-WAN Manager.

Ease of use

Configure logging of crash dump events for cellular interfaces on SD-Routing devices You can configure the device to collect the crash dump logs by enabling the boot-and-hold mode on the device using the lte modem crash-action boot-and-hold command.

Ease of use

Reset cellular profile for cellular interfaces on SD-Routing devices You can reset the cellular network profile settings on a specific interface to a factory default state using the cellular<slot> lte profile reset command.

Ease of Use

Show drops command

The show drops command is introduced in Cisco IOS XE 17.18.1a. This command consolidates multiple platform and protocol-specific debugging tools into a single, user-friendly interface, enabling network operators to efficiently identify the root causes of packet drops. By streamlining the troubleshooting process, this feature significantly improves operational efficiency and network performance.

Upgrade

MVPN Ingress Replication (IR) over SRv6 This feature enables the transport of IPv4 MVPN traffic across an SRv6 network. It simplifies multicast deployment by using the existing SRv6 unicast infrastructure as the underlay. With this feature, the ingress PE router receives multicast traffic and creates a separate unicast SRv6-encapsulated copy for each egress PE router in the multicast group.

Upgrade

SRv6 Path MTU Discovery This feature introduces a mechanism to determine the maximum transmission unit (MTU) for packets traversing an SRv6 underlay network. It ensures efficient packet forwarding by preventing fragmentation and packet drops, thereby allowing network devices to dynamically adjust packet sizes to avoid exceeding link MTU limits. The system relays ICMP Packet Too Big (PTB) messages from the SRv6 underlay to the IPv6/IPv4 overlay network, supporting both Transit-node and Headend-node PTB relay methods.

Upgrade

SRv6 Flex-Algo with TI-LFA and uLoop Avoidance From Cisco IOS XE 17.18.1a, Flexible Algorithm enhances SRv6 by including functions like Topology Independent Loop-Free Alternate (TI-LFA) and microloop (uLoop) avoidance. This feature improves network resilience and efficiency.

If you need to use guestshell, then download it from https://developer.cisco.com/docs/iox/#!iox-resource-downloads/downloads. For more information, see Guestshell installation procedure.


Cisco ISR1000 ROMmon Compatibility Matrix

The following table lists the ROMmon releases supported in Cisco IOS XE 16.x.x releases and Cisco IOS XE 17.x.x releases.


Warning


Device unrecoverable after upgrade failure

If a device running certain older Cisco IOS XE releases (earlier than 17.5.x) has password recovery disabled and experiences an upgrade failure to Cisco IOS XE 17.11.x or later, the device may become unrecoverable.

To mitigate this risk, upgrade the device to any Cisco IOS XE image between 17.5.x and 17.10.x before upgrading to the destination Cisco IOS XE release (17.11.x or later). Refer to the Release Notes for Cisco 1000 Series Integrated Services Routers, Cisco IOS XE 17.11.x for specific upgrade steps.

Subsequent release notes include this guidance. For example, refer to the Release Notes for Cisco ISR 1000 Series, Cisco IOS XE Dublin 17.13.1.



Warning


Recommendations before upgrade

Before you upgrade, consider these actions:

  • Configure the old working image as a backup image before performing the upgrade. For example:

Router(config)# no boot system
Router(config)# boot system bootflash:new.bin
Router(config)# boot system bootflash:old.bin
  • Enable password recovery before you upgrade. After the upgrade, reapply no service password-recovery for security. For example:

Router(config)# service password-recovery

(After upgrade)

Router(config)# no service password-recovery


Note


Reset button behavior

The Reset button behavior changes when specific ROMmon and Cisco IOS XE versions are in use:

  • If ROMmon is 16.12(2r) or later, and Cisco IOS XE is 17.2.1 or later:

    The Reset button does not take effect if no service password-recovery strict is configured.

  • If ROMmon is earlier than 16.12(2r):

    The factory reset does not take effect, regardless of whether the strict option is included.



Note


To identify the manufacturing date, use the show license udi command. For example:

Router#show license udi 
UDI: PID:C1131-8PLTEPWB,SN:FGLxxxxLCQ6

The xxxx in the command output represents the manufacturing date.

  • If the manufacturing date is greater than or equal to 0x2535, the manufactured ROMmon version is 17.6(1r) or higher.

  • If the manufacturing date is less than 0x2535, the ROMmon will be automatically upgraded to 17.5(1r) or above when the Cisco IOS XE 17.9.x release is installed.

  • The minimal or recommended ROMmon version for devices using Cisco IOS XE 17.5 or later is 17.5(1r) or later.



Note


To upgrade to Cisco IOS XE Dublin 17.12.x, follow these steps:

  1. If you are on a device that is running software version between Cisco IOS XE 16.x to Cisco IOS XE 17.4.x, upgrade to any IOS XE image between Cisco IOS XE 17.5.x to Cisco IOS XE 17.10.x.

  2. After performing step 1, upgrade to Cisco IOS XE 17.12.x.

  3. For devices that are running on software version Cisco IOS XE 17.5.x or later, you can upgrade to Cisco IOS XE 17.12.x directly.
