Release Notes for Cisco IOS XRd, IOS XR Release
- XRd is a powerful IOS XR virtual platform that supports a wide variety of technology roles such as virtual route reflector (vRR), virtual cell-site router (vCSR), and virtual provider-edge (vPE). It is available in a containerised form factor, enabling both standalone and Kubernetes-based containerised network deployments.
Cisco IOS XRd Overview
XRd is the latest virtual platform from Cisco that brings the highly scalable, feature-rich, and reliable IOS-XR operating system to containerised network deployments. With XR control plane pedigree shared with the likes of Cisco 8000 and data plane capabilities that are derived from the powerful XRv9000, XRd brings the best of both worlds – enabling high-scale control plane use cases such as virtual route-reflector (vRR) and high-throughput requirements in virtual provider edge (vPE).
XRd is available in two formats:
- XRd Control Plane
- XRd vRouter
Cisco IOS XRd Licensing Model
- The Cisco IOS XRd platform offers two types of licensing schemes. This table lists details of Cisco IOS XRd Router’s software licenses or entitlements, arranged according to licensing PIDs.
- The Cisco IOS XRd instances are pre-loaded with an evaluation license valid for 90 days. For licenses post the evaluation period, you can purchase the XRd licenses using Cisco Smart Licensing.
