What Is a Secure Domain Router?
Cisco routers running Cisco IOS XR software can be partitioned into multiple, independent routers known as secure domain routers (SDRs). SDRs are a means of dividing a single physical system into multiple logically separated routers. SDRs perform routing functions the same as a physical router, but they share resources with the rest of the system. For example, the software, configurations, protocols, and routing tables assigned to an SDR belong to that SDR only, but other functions, such as
