High Availability (HA)


Open Cisco IOS XE patchability


Software Maintenance Upgrade (SMU)

• SMU is an emergency point fix positioned for expedited delivery to a customer in case of a network down or revenue-affecting scenario. SMUs are:

- Quick (able to deliver point fixes much faster than possible in Cisco IOS®)

- Effective (do not require a monolithic code upgrade)

- Focused (target the specific area of code that has the issue)

• SMU is like a medication:

- It addresses the issue effectively

- In theory, there is no limit to the number you can take

- In practice, you want to be selective when using SMUs


When will you use SMUs?

• No workaround possible

• TAC/escalation approved

• Cisco vulnerabilities

• Open source vulnerabilities

Security vulnerabilities Critical issues

Risks to business• Production issues

• Qualification issues

The Heartbleed Bug

Leap Second


• New code requires bug analysis, certification

• Reduced IT staff slows software rollout

• Physicalpresence required

• Expensive upgrades – business loss

• Each device upgrade causes network outage

Why are SMUs needed?

Software upgrades are challenging

Cost Time Scope

SMU Point fixes

Reduce validation scope and time


SMU types

• Cold patching (traffic-affecting)

- Installation of an SMU will require a system reload in the first release

• Hot patching (non traffic-affecting)

- Hot restart of the patched process can be supported in the future

- Installation of an SMU will not require a system reload

• In-Service Software Upgrades (ISSU) (non traffic-affecting)

- Install the SMU using the ISSU mechanism (coming in 16.6)

- Will be available only on switches with redundant CPUs


GIRGraceful Insertion and Removal


Why GIR?To isolate a node with no or minimal impact

Hardware replacement

Software upgrades

Configuration changes

Layer 2

Layer 3

Shutdown

Protocol exchange

Shutdown

Isolating a node today is done

manually via CLIs and scripts

Easy execution with a single command

Highly customizable workflow

Power HA – Cisco innovations in UPOE deliver a robust, low-voltage infrastructure

Perpetual UPOE

• Uninterrupted PoE power during control plane reboot

2-event classification

• Fast power negotiationwithout LLDP

• Physical layer negotiation < 1 sec

Fast UPOE

• Bypasses Cisco IOS® control plane boot

• Restores power toPD within 30 sec ofpower resumption


Perpetual UPOE

UPOE Devices connected to switch staypowered on, even on switch reboot

Endpoints such as lightsneed resilient power

Cisco UPOE® devices continue to getlast negotiated power

Retain up to 60W per port
