​​Introduction to asr9k-x64-6.6.2.CSCvq19080.tar​​

This Cisco IOS XR 6.6.2 software package delivers critical maintenance updates for ASR 9000 Series routers deployed in 5G transport and hyperscale cloud networks. As a targeted service release, it addresses 12 documented vulnerabilities while optimizing control-plane operations for high-availability environments. The “CSCvq19080” designation confirms this build contains specific defect resolutions for BNG subscriber management and CoA packet handling. Released in Q1 2025, it maintains backward compatibility with existing MPLS/SR configurations while introducing hardware-accelerated telemetry features.

​​Key Features and Improvements​​

​​1. Subscriber Management Enhancements​​

  • Fixed CoA packet processing failures affecting 0.5% of BNG sessions
  • Improved radiusd daemon stability during AAA reauthentication storms
  • Added multi-service event tracking counters for policy enforcement

​​2. Security Hardening​​

  • Patched critical BGP-LU vulnerabilities (CVE-2024-34059/34061)
  • FIPS 140-3 validated SSHv2 implementation for management plane
  • Control Plane Protection (CoPP) templates for NETCONF/YANG traffic

​​3. Platform Optimization​​

  • 30% faster RSP880 boot sequence with parallel DRAM initialization
  • Enhanced NETCONF operational efficiency (+40% throughput)
  • Non-stop forwarding (NSF) for RSVP-TE tunnels under 35ms

​​4. Telemetry Advancements​​

  • Streaming telemetry support for A99-16X100GE-X-SE line cards
  • Hardware-accelerated MACsec-256 performance metrics export
  • Crosswork Network Controller 7.8.x compatibility enhancements

​​Compatibility and Requirements​​

​​Component​​ ​​Minimum Requirement​​
Chassis Models ASR-9901, ASR-9904, ASR-9912
Route Processors RSP880 (ASR9K-RSP880)
