MPLS TE Preferred Path: Preferred tunnel path functions let you map pseudowires to specific TE tunnels. Attachment circuits are cross-connected to specific MPLS TE tunnel interfaces instead of remote provider-edge router IP addresses (reachable using Interior Gateway Protocol [IGP] or Label Distribution Protocol [LDP]).

High Availability

The router is intended for use in Enterprise networks that require high-availability. It is designed to provide high MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures) and low MTTR (Mean Time To Resolve) rates. This minimizes outages or and maximizes availability. The router achieves this using the following:

Component redundancy

Duplex power supplies

Cooling systems

Fault detection

Management features

High availability features

Non-stop forwarding (NSF)—Cisco IOS XR Software supports forwarding without traffic loss during a brief outage of the control plane through signaling and routing protocol implementations for graceful restart extensions as standardized by the IETF, NSF requires neighboring nodes to be NSF-aware.

Process restartability (minimum disruption restart)

Stateful switchovers

In-service software upgrades

MPLS TE FRR

Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD)

Standard IEEE 802.3ad link aggregation bundles

System Configurations

The router runs Cisco IOS XR Software on the following standalone chassis types, available in AC or DC versions:

a 6-slot chassis

a 10-slot chassis
