XRv 5.1.1 - Working/non working features and roadmap

[daniel.dib]

Hi,

Cisco recently released Cisco XRv 5.1.1 which is IOS XR running in a VM. I thought it would be nice track features working not working and if Cisco could comment on the roadmap.

Working:

ISIS

BGP

LDP

Not working:

EoMPLS

VPLS

Control plane is up for EoMPLS and VPLS but no traffic passes through. Post anything you have tested.

Does ABF without VRF work?

[hantopia88]

I guess the same for l2vpn xconnect?  I set it up and it doesn't work.

[Vinit Jain]

Yes, as mentioned before, l2vpn / vpls is not supported yet.

Hi Vinit,

For L2VPN, is data-plane already supported on higher versions? Let's say 6.x something.

Regards,

Chris

Multicast routing does not seem to work over MPLS P2MP TE tunnels. Although the packets show up as forwarded out the MTE interface, they are not. I ran a packet capture to confirm this.

Interface : tunnel-mte5 (Enabled)

SW Mcast pkts in : 0, SW Mcast pkts out : 100

TTL Threshold : 0

Ref Count : 5

Hi Jasper,

Did you allow all the vlans on the interface on the vm side.

Also, what kind of interfaces have you added on the vbox. is it E1000.

Regards

Vinit

Hi vinijain,

On the vbox under promiscuous mode i set it to allow VMs then on adapter i set it on 1000 m server.

Hi

Once in in a while I have disconnect and reconnect the cables in GNS3 to get pings to work.  This really stumped me be the first - I watched a 10 minute video which repeated all the step I already did, and then at the end there was a quick blurb about this bug.

[jasper_arevalo]

Daniel.dib can you please share your setting on XRv vm.

TE path protection also not supported on XRv.

Can't enter following commands:

1) (config)#mpls ldp router-id loopback 0
                                                ^
% Invalid input detected at '^' marker.

2) Command completion doesn't work for

mpls ldp

label

   local
    advertise
     explicit-null

hierarcy.

3) Despite the fact I have loopback properly configured, I don't see LDP binding for it on remore router.

4) Locally I see

10.19.19.16/32, rev 2
        Local binding: label: ImpNull
        No remote bindings

despite explicit-null configured in 2)

Any advice ?

Hi ,

i guess this link will help explaining how to allocate implicit null.

Good Luck :)

As far as I can tell bundle-ether interfaces do not work at least with my basic set. Can someone else confirm?
