Hi Everyone,
I already have fresh Cisco N540(N540-12Z20G-SYS-A) routers. I need to configure below mentioned configuration on that router:
Note: I haven't any previous hands-on experience in IOS-XR, that Software, little bit different that other IOS so hope you guys gives your support to me...!
Thanks...!
Solved! Go to Solution.

Hello @Cisco Support
1. How to enable https web access via MGMTEthernet interface?
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ios# configure
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ios(config)# crypto key generate rsa modulus 2048
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ios(config)# username admin privilege 15 secret <password>
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ios(config)# aaa authentication login default local
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ios(config)# aaa authorization exec default local
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ios(config)# line default transport input ssh
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ios(config)# line default transport output ssh
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ios(config)# line console
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ios(config-line)# password <password>
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ios(config-line)# login
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ios(config-line)# exit
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ios(config)# ssh server v2
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ios(config)# ip http secure-server
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ios(config)# interface mgmtEth0/RP0/CPU0/0
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ios(config-if)# ip address <mgmt_ip_address>/<subnet_mask>
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ios(config-if)# no shutdown
-- These commands will generate an RSA key, create an admin user with a password, enable SSH, and enable HTTPS web access via the mgmtEth0/RP0/CPU0/0 interface.
2. If there is any possibility to create Link Aggregation? if yes, how can I configure Link Aggregation on IOS-XR software?
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ios# configure
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ios(config-if)# interface Bundle-Ether <bundle_id>
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ios(config-if)# ipv4 address <ip_address> <subnet_mask>
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ios(config-if)# no shutdown
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ios(config)# interface TenGigE0/0/0/1
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ios(config-if)# bundle id <bundle_id> mode active
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ios(config-if)# interface TenGigE0/0/0/2
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ios(config-if)# bundle id <bundle_id> mode active
-- These commands will create link aggregation with TenGigE0/0/0/1 and TenGigE0/0/0/2, and assign an IP address to the Bundle-Ether interface.
3. If there is any possibility to configure SVI or VLAN interfaces on IOS-XR software? if yes, how can I configure VLAN interfaces?
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ios# configure
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ios(config)# interface <interface_name>.<vlan id>
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ios(config-vlan)# ipv4 address <IP> <MASK>
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ios(config)# encapsulation dot1q <vlan_id>
4. How to Configure HSRP/VRRP on IOS-XR software?
router vrrp
interface XXXXX
address-family ipv4
vrrp <id> version 3
priority 200
preempt delay 15
timer 1
address <Virtual_IP>
If HSRP then router hsrp instead of router vrrp menu

You're welcome @Cisco Support
IOS XR is typically used in service provider or carrier-grade environments, where the focus is on routing rather than switching. As such, IOS XR does not have the same level of switch functionality as other Cisco operating systems like IOS or IOS XE. If you need more advanced switching capabilities, you may want to consider using a dedicated switch device such as a Cisco Catalyst switch with IOS or IOS XE.

As per your bundle-ether configuration i configured two IOS XR routers with bundle interface but i noticed bundle ether interface still down. What would be the issue?
Please refer to config files:

Hello @Cisco Support
The Bundle-Ether1 interface is showing as "down" on both routers because none of the member links have been activated. The local links section of the output shows that there are zero active links out of the 2 configured links for the bundle.
Please check the status of the physical interfaces Gig 0/0/0/0 and 0/0/0/1 on the routers.
