Why is considered hidden? Because you won’t see it in the command in Cisco Routers Command Line Interface (CLI). Sample output: RP/0/RSP1/CPU0:CORE1#ser? service RP/0/RSP1/CPU0:CORE1#service ?   redundancy  Service Director related commands. Then what it is? service unsupported-transceiver Configuration: Cisco IOS-XE Router1(config)#service unsupported-transceiver Warning: When Cisco determines that a fault or defect can be traced to the use of third-party transceivers installed by a customer or reseller, then, at Cisco’s discretion, Cisco may withhold support under warranty or a Cisco support…

Objective: The PBR policy will be removed facing Uplink-Router once it detected that the server is unreachable. Policy-based routing (PBR) is a method used to make routing decisions based on policies. Scenario: Server1 providing web caching to customers for faster web page loading. Since there is route-map in place to route their http/https traffic to the next hop which is Server1, what if this server suddenly goes down?, the expected behaviour is  the customer won’t be able to access websites.…

Objective: To separate management traffic from data/customer traffic in your Cisco XR routers. Preferably, Data and Management are into 2 separate network domains. Pre-requisite: UTP cables (for each RSP management port in case for switchover) are connected to a network switch to access the OOB management gateway * * Management IP Configuration* *  1. Configure the vrf for management vrf management description VRF for Out-of-Band address-family ipv4 unicast 2. Set the physical IP address on each RSP management port. There are total of…

As per Cisco official site definition of FPD: An FPD refers to any programmable hardware device on a router, which includes a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) and Read Only Memory Monitor (ROMMON). Cisco IOS® XR routers use a number of FPDs that are crucial for the function of route processors, line cards, shared port adapters (SPAs), SPA Interface Processors (SIPs), and fan trays.Sample of upgrading fpd in ASR9000 running in IOS-XR. Linecard used is 24x10GE Tomahawk linecard.A. Check first…

Static Route Configuration Examples in Cisco (IOS-XR)  for BGP aggregated prefix advertisements In order to advertise the aggregated routes (and default routes) via BGP, it should exists in the routing table, that’s the #1 rule. If these summarized routes (/16) are not existing and only smaller subnets are learned via the IGP(e.g. OSPF,IS-IS), then configure static route and next hop e.g. Null0. Configuration: router static address-family ipv4 unicast 0.0.0.0/0 Null0 172.16.0.0/16 Null0 address-family ipv6 unicast ::/0 Null0 fd41:c8be:2153:f400::/64 Null0 In…

Originating BGP advertisement can be configured to any iBGP peer router. Here’s the sample configuration of originating BGP routes and community tagging in Cisco Assuming these are the summarized prefixes that you want to advertise via BGP. 111.111.0.0/16 222.222.0.0/16 Configuration: Configure the prefix-set prefix-set SITE1 111.111.0.0/16, 222.222.0.0/16 end-set 2. Configure the community route-policy bgp-statement if destination in SITE1 then set community (12345:111) endif end-policy 3.
