Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol v3 Generic Object-Oriented Substation Event Traffic Support

New Features in Cisco IOS XE 17.15.1

Feature Name: Dying Gasp
License Level: Network Essentials
Supported Devices: IR1101

• From this release, the Dying Gasp feature is supported. When the router is about to shut down due to a power failure, it sends alerts to connected devices as packets through the configured Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet ports.

Feature Name: GNSS on PIMS
Supported Devices: IR1101 and IR1800

• This feature allows you to configure and manage the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) PIM module on Cisco IOS XE Catalyst SD-WAN devices using Cisco SD-WAN Manager.

Feature Name: Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol v3 Generic Object-Oriented Substation Event Traffic Support
License Level: Network Essentials and Network Advantage
Supported Devices: IR1101

• This release supports Layer 2 Tunnelling Protocol v3 (L2TPv3) to transmit Generic Object-Oriented Substation Event (GOOSE) and Sampled Value (SV) traffic through Layer 2 tunnels between geographically separated substations over a WAN. This feature supports interoperability and real-time exchange of information between the substations to facilitate improved monitoring, control, efficiency, safety, and reliability.

Feature Name: Managed Cellular Activation
License Level: Network Essentials
Supported Devices: IR1101 and IR1800

• The Managed Cellular Activation solution provides a programmable1800
• The Managed Cellular Activation solution provides a programmable subscriber identity module (SIM), called an eSIM, a physical SIM card that you can configure with a cellular service plan of your choice. When ordering a pluggable interface module (PIM) to provide cellular connectivity for your router, choose a PIM model with a preinstalled eSIM. The Managed Cellular Activation solution comes with a “bootstrap” cellular plan to provide internet connectivity with a limited amount of data intended only for Day 0 onboarding of the device to your cellular plan. For information about configuring Cisco SD-WAN Manager with the details of your cellular plan in preparation for onboarding the device, see the Cisco Managed Cellular Activation Configuration Guide.
  Prepare the configuration in Cisco SD-WAN Manager before powering on and onboarding the device, to avoid running out of the limited data in the bootstrap cellular plan.
  Note: In this context, eSIM refers to a removable SIM pre-installed by Cisco. In other contexts, eSIM can refer to a non-removable SIM embedded in a cellular-enabled device.

Feature Name: P-LTE-450 Module Firmware Upgrade
License Level: Network Essentials
Supported Devices: IR1101 and IR1800

• The P-LTE-450 module now supports firmware upgrades using a REST API. This method allows you to upgrade the module's PIM and modem firmware.

Feature Name: WAN Port on IR1101 Routers
License Level: Network Essentials
Supported Devices: IR1101

• This release enables the conversion of the Layer 2 GO/0/5 interface into a Layer 3 WAN port. This feature enhances network flexibility and optimizes traffic management without additional hardware, and it is compatible with Jumbo MTU (9000 bytes) IRM-1100-SPMI and IRM-1100-SP expansion modules.
