ISSU MPLS Clients

MPLS applications can be upgraded using the In Service Software Upgrade (ISSU) process. Thus, MPLS applications are considered ISSU’s MPLS clients. The ISSU process allows Cisco IOS XE software to be updated or otherwise modified while packet forwarding continues.

Prerequisites for ISSU MPLS Clients

Before you perform an upgrade, you need to verify that the clients you are concerned about are compatible with the intended switchover. Use the commands listed in the Verifying the ISSU Process for an MPLS Client to determine compatibility.

The success performance of some clients in the upgraded network will depend upon their compatibility with other clients as described in the table below.

Information About ISSU MPLS Clients

Before examining ISSU coordination of MPLS clients, you should understand the following concepts:

This section provides information about upgrading MPLS-related applications through ISSU. Those MPLS applications are considered ISSU’s MPLS “clients.”

For more information on the ISSU procedure, see Cisco IOS XE In Service Software Upgrade Process document and see the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers Software Configuration Guide .

Configuration Examples for ISSU MPLS Clients

To examine any ISSU client, you must specify its unique client ID when entering the show issu sessions command. If you do not already know that client ID, enter the show issu clients command in user EXEC or privileged EXEC mode. Each ISSU client on the network will then be listed, with its client ID and client name on the same line, as shown in the following example:

Verifying the ISSU Process for an MPLS LDP Client Example

This example shows how to verify the ISSU process for an LDP client.

The first command shows you whether the LDP client’s old and new software versions are compatible, and therefore are able to make use of the ISSU opportunity: 


Router# show issu sessions 2011
---------------------------------------------------------------------
 Client_ID = 2011,  Entity_ID = 1 :
 *** Session_ID = 46,  Session_Name = LDP Session :
    Peer   Peer  Negotiate  Negotiated   Cap      Msg     Session
  UniqueID  Sid    Role       Result   GroupID  GroupID  Signature
     4       34   PRIMARY   COMPATIBLE    1        1         0
                           (no policy)
    Negotiation Session Info for This Message Session:
         Nego_Session_ID = 46
         Nego_Session_Name = LDP Session
         Transport_Mtu = 3948

Now you can take the session ID displayed in the previous command’s output and enter it into the next command, to see the negotiated message version: 


Router# show issu negotiated version 46
 Session_ID = 46 :
     Message_Type = 1,  Negotiated_Version = 2,  Message_MTU = 20
     Message_Type = 2,  Negotiated_Version = 2,  Message_MTU = 20
     Message_Type = 3,  Negotiated_Version = 2,  Message_MTU = 4

Next you can enter the same session ID into the following command to display the capability negotiation result: 


Router# show issu negotiated capability 46
 Session_ID = 46 :
     Negotiated_Cap_Entry = 1

Finally, to see which message types and versions are supported by this particular client, you enter the client ID into the following command: 


Router# show issu message types 2011
---------------------------------------------------------------------
 Client_ID = 2011,  Entity_ID = 1 :
    Message_Type = 1,  Version_Range = 2 ~ 2
          Message_Ver = 2,    Message_Mtu = 20
    Message_Type = 2,  Version_Range = 2 ~ 2
          Message_Ver = 2,    Message_Mtu = 20
    Message_Type = 3,  Version_Range = 2 ~ 2
          Message_Ver = 2,    Message_Mtu = 4

Client_ID = 2009,  Entity_ID = 1 :
*** Session_ID = 39,  Session_Name = MPLS VPN ISSU Session :
   Peer   Peer  Negotiate  Negotiated   Cap      Msg     Session
 UniqueID  Sid    Role       Result   GroupID  GroupID  Signature
    3       33   PASSIVE   COMPATIBLE    1        1         0
                          (no policy)
   Negotiation Session Info for This Message Session:
        Nego_Session_ID = 39
        Nego_Session_Name = MPLS VPN ISSU Session
        Transport_Mtu = 3980

Now you can take the session ID displayed in the previous command’s output and enter it into the next command, in order to see the negotiated message version: 


Router# show issu negotiated version 39
Session_ID = 39 :
    Message_Type = 1,  Negotiated_Version = 1,  Message_MTU = 32

Next you can enter the same session ID into the following command to display the capability negotiation result: 


Router# show issu negotiated capability 39
Session_ID = 39 :
Negotiated_Cap_Entry = 1

Finally,= to see which message types and versions are supported by this particular client, you enter the client ID into the following command: 


Router# show issu message types 2009
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Client_ID = 2009,  Entity_ID = 1 :
   Message_Type = 1,  Version_Range = 1 ~ 1
         Message_Ver = 1,    Message_Mtu = 32

                           (no policy)
    Negotiation Session Info for This Message Session:
         Nego_Session_ID = 19
         Nego_Session_Name = TABLEID ISSU CF
         Transport_Mtu = 3948


Router# show issu sessions 2008
---------------------------------------------------------------------
 Client_ID = 2008,  Entity_ID = 1 :
 *** Session_ID = 19,  Session_Name = TABLEID ISSU CF :
    Peer   Peer  Negotiate  Negotiated   Cap      Msg     Session
  UniqueID  Sid    Role       Result   GroupID  GroupID  Signature
     4       13   PRIMARY   COMPATIBLE    1        1         0
                           (no policy)
    Negotiation Session Info for This Message Session:
         Nego_Session_ID = 19
         Nego_Session_Name = TABLEID ISSU CF
         Transport_Mtu = 3948

Now you can take the session ID displayed in the previous command’s output and enter it into the next command, in order to see the negotiated message version: 


Router# show issu negotiated version 19
 Session_ID = 19 :
     Message_Type = 1,  Negotiated_Version = 1,  Message_MTU = 44
     Message_Type = 2,  Negotiated_Version = 1,  Message_MTU = 4

Next you can enter the same session ID into the following command to display the capability negotiation result: 


Router# show issu negotiated capability 19
Session_ID = 19 :
Negotiated_Cap_Entry = 1

Finally, to see which message types and versions are supported by this particular client, you enter the client ID into the following command: 


Router# show issu message types 2008
---------------------------------------------------------------------
 Client_ID = 2008,  Entity_ID = 1 :
    Message_Type = 1,  Version_Range = 1 ~ 1
          Message_Ver = 1,    Message_Mtu = 44
    Message_Type = 2,  Version_Range = 1 ~ 1
          Message_Ver = 1,    Message_Mtu = 4

---------------------------------------------------------------------
 Client_ID = 2007,  Entity_ID = 1 :
 *** Session_ID = 40,  Session_Name = lsd_ha :
    Peer   Peer  Negotiate  Negotiated   Cap      Msg     Session
  UniqueID  Sid    Role       Result   GroupID  GroupID  Signature
     4       30   PRIMARY   COMPATIBLE    1        1         0
                              (policy)
    Negotiation Session Info for This Message Session:
         Nego_Session_ID = 40
         Nego_Session_Name = lsd_ha
         Transport_Mtu = 3948
         Compat_Result: raw_result = COMPATIBLE,  policy_result = COMPATIBLE

Now you can take the session ID displayed in the previous command’s output and enter it into the next command, in order to see the negotiated message version: 


Router# show issu negotiated version 40

      7     36   PRIMARY    COMPATIBLE    1        1         0
                           (no policy)
    Negotiation Session Info for This Message Session:
         Nego_Session_ID = 45
         Nego_Session_Name = MPLS LSPV Push (6 )
         Transport_Mtu = 1438

Now you can take the session ID displayed in the previous command’s output and enter it into the next command, in order to see the negotiated message version: 


Router# show issu negotiated version 45
 Session_ID = 45:
	Message_Type = 0,  Negotiated_Version = 1,  Message_MTU = 74
	Message_Type = 1,  Negotiated_Version = 1,  Message_MTU = 120
	Message_Type = 2,  Negotiated_Version = 1,  Message_MTU = 120
	Message_Type = 3,  Negotiated_Version = 1,  Message_MTU = 5122
	Message_Type = 4,  Negotiated_Version = 1,  Message_MTU = 6

Next you can enter the same session ID into the following command to display the capability negotiation result: 


Router# show issu negotiated capability 45
Session_ID = 45:
Cap_Type = 0				Cap_Result = 1					No cap value assigned

Finally to see which message types and versions are supported by this particular client, you enter the client ID into the following command: 


Router# show issu message types 2089
---------------------------------------------------------------------
 Client_ID = 2089,  Entity_ID = 1 :
    Message_Type = 0,  Version_Range = 1 ~ 1
          Message_Ver = 1,    Message_Mtu = 74
    Message_Type = 1,  Version_Range = 1 ~ 1
          Message_Ver = 1,    Message_Mtu = 120
	Message_Type = 2,  Version_Range = 1 ~ 1
          Message_Ver = 1,    Message_Mtu = 120
    Message_Type = 3,  Version_Range = 1 ~ 1
          Message_Ver = 1,    Message_Mtu = 5122
	Message_Type = 4,  Version_Range = 1 ~ 1
          Message_Ver = 1,    Message_Mtu = 6

Verifying the ISSU Process for an MPLS TE Client Example

This example shows how to verify the ISSU process for an MPLS TE client.

The first command shows you whether the TE client’s old and new software versions are compatible, and therefore are able to make use of the ISSU opportunity: 


Router# show issu sessions 2053
---------------------------------------------------------------------
 Client_ID = 2053,  Entity_ID = 1 :
 *** Session_ID = 84,  Session_Name = RSVP HA Session :
    Peer   Peer  Negotiate  Negotiated   Cap      Msg     Session
  UniqueID  Sid    Role       Result   GroupID  GroupID  Signature
    22       94   PRIMARY   COMPATIBLE    1        1         0
                           (no policy)
    Negotiation Session Info for This Message Session:
         Nego_Session_ID = 84
         Nego_Session_Name = RSVP HA Session
         Transport_Mtu = 1392

Now you can take the session ID displayed in the previous command’s output and enter it into the next command, in order to see the negotiated message version: 


Router# show issu negotiated version 84
Session_ID = 84 :
     Message_Type = 1,  Negotiated_Version = 2,  Message_MTU = 1024

Next you can enter the same session ID into the following command to display the capability negotiation result: 


Router# show issu negotiated capability 84
Session_ID = 84 :
     Cap_Type = 0,     Cap_Result = 1     No cap value assigned

Finally to see which message types and versions are supported by this particular client, you enter the client ID into the following command: 


Router# show issu message types 2053
---------------------------------------------------------------------
 Client_ID = 2053,  Entity_ID = 1 :
    Message_Type = 1,  Version_Range = 1 ~ 2
          Message_Ver = 1,    Message_Mtu = 1024
          Message_Ver = 2,    Message_Mtu = 1024

ISSU MPLS--LDP

Cisco IOS XE Release 2.1

This feature allows In Service Software Upgrade (ISSU) support for the Label Distribution Protocol (LDP) and Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) Forwarding.

MPLS applications can be upgraded using the In Service Software Upgrade (ISSU) process. Thus, MPLS applications are considered ISSU’s MPLS clients. The ISSU process allows Cisco IOS XE software to be updated or otherwise modified while packet forwarding continues.

In Cisco IOS XE Release 2.1, this feature was introduced on Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers.

The following commands were introduced or modified: show issu clients, show issu entities, show issu message types, show issu negotiated, show issu outage, show issu sessions.

ISSU--MPLS VPN (Support for IPv4 VPNs)

Cisco IOS XE Release 2.1

This feature supports In Service Software Upgrade (ISSU) for Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) Virtual Private networks (VPNs) for IPv4 address families only.

In Cisco IOS XE Release 2.1, this feature was introduced on Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers.
