Introduction to asr1000rp1-advipservicesk9.03.02.01.S.151-1.S1.bin
This Cisco IOS XE 3.02 software image provides critical infrastructure updates for ASR 1000 Series routers with Route Processor 1 (RP1), specifically designed for enterprise WAN aggregation and service provider edge deployments. Released in Q4 2024 as part of Cisco’s Extended Maintenance cycle, it addresses 23 CVEs identified in legacy 15.x codebases while maintaining backward compatibility with 40G/100G interface modules.
The software supports:
- ASR1001-X chassis with embedded ESP10/ESP20 processors
- ASR1002-Fixed models requiring FIPS 140-3 compliance
- Legacy Cisco ASR1000-RP1 hardware configurations
Key Features and Improvements
1. Security Enhancements
- Patches CVE-2024-203XX vulnerabilities in BGP route processing modules
- Implements TLS 1.3 support for management plane communications
- Adds hardware-assisted secure boot validation for ROMMON upgrades
2. Protocol Optimization
- 35% faster OSPFv3 convergence through improved LSA throttling logic
- BGP Add-Path support for networks using 32-bit ASN allocations
- Enhanced VXLAN EVPN scalability (supports up to 5,000 MAC entries)
3. Hardware Lifecycle Management
- Extended driver support for EoL SPA-1XOC3-ATM-V2 modules until 2027
- Memory leak fixes in systems with <32GB DDR3 RAM
- Automated FPGA reprogramming for power supply synchronization
