Note Cisco IOS XE 17.15.1a is the first release for Cisco 4000 Series Integrated Services Routers in the Cisco IOS
XE 17.15.x release series.
Note See the End-of-Sale and End-of-Life Announcement for the Cisco ISR4200, ISR4300 and select ISR4400
Series Platform page for information about the end-of-life milestones for the Cisco 4000 Series Integrated
Service Routers.
Note See the End-of-Sale and End-of-Life Announcement for the Cisco ISR4461 Series Platform page for information
about the end-of-life milestones for the Cisco ISR4461 series platform.
The Cisco 4000 Series ISRs are modular routers with LAN and WAN connections that can be configured by
means of interface modules, including Cisco Enhanced Service Modules (SM-Xs), and Network Interface
Modules (NIMs).
Note Starting with Cisco IOS XE Amsterdam 17.3.2 release, with the introduction of Smart Licensing Using Policy,
even if you configure a hostname for a product instance or device, only the Unique Device Identifier (UDI)
is displayed. This change in the display can be observed in all licensing utilities and user interfaces where the
hostname was displayed in earlier releases. It does not affect any licensing functionality. There is no workaround
for this limitation.
The licensing utilities and user interfaces that are affected by this limitation include only the following:
• Cisco Smart Software Manager (CSSM),
• Cisco Smart License Utility (CSLU), and
• Smart Software Manager On-Prem (SSM On-Prem).

System Requirements
The following are the minimum system requirements:
Note There is no change in the system requirements from the earlier releases.
• Memory: 4 GB DDR3 up to 32 GB
• Hard Drive: 200 GB or higher (Optional). The hard drive is only required for running services such as
Cisco ISR-WAAS.
• Flash Storage: 4 GB to 32 GB
• NIMs and SM-Xs: Modules (Optional)
• NIM SSD (Optional)
For more information, see the Cisco 4000 Series ISRs Data Sheet.

products-release-notes-list.html.
Note When you upgrade from one Cisco IOS XE release to another, you may see %Invalid IPV6 address error in
the console log file. To rectify this error, enter global configuration mode, and re-enter the missing IPv6 alias
commands and save the configuration. The commands will be persistent on subsequent reloads.

New and Changed Information
Feature Description
Absolute Path for HTTP or The File Transfer using HTTP or HTTPs feature allows you to copy files from
HTTPS File Transfer a remote server to your local device, using the copy command.
From Cisco IOS XE 17.15.1a, you must provide the absolute file path when
you execute the copy command, to transfer the file.
Cisco Umbrella Scope From Cisco IOS XE 17.15.1a, this feature provides the ability to define and
Credentials configure a new single Cisco Umbrella credential for both Umbrella SIG and
Umbrella DNS.
Enabling Flow Level The Flow-level Flexible NetFlow (FNF) feature allows you to monitor the
Flexible NetFlow Support NetFlow traffic and view all the flow-level FNF data that is captured including
for SD-Routing Devices application-level statistics. This feature is only supported on ISR4461.
Enhanced NAT Management From Cisco IOS XE 17.15.1a, the Enhanced NAT Management feature enables
network operators to safeguard system performance by limiting NAT
translations based on CPU usage with the ip nat translation max-entries cpu
command. This feature also enables streamlining NAT synchronization in
redundant systems using the ip nat settings redundancy optimized-data-sync
command.
Configure Multiple WAN You can now create a custom VRF that hosts one or more WAN interfaces.
Interfaces on Cisco You can extend this functionality to create multiple custom VRFs with each
SD-Routing Devices Using VRF hosting multiple WAN interfaces. These WAN interfaces now function
a Custom VRF as transport interfaces to establish control connections to the Cisco Catalyst
SD-WAN Manager. Having multiple WAN interfaces ensures that there is
resiliency in control connections and routing of transport traffic.
Monitoring SD-Routing From Cisco IOS XE 17.15.1a, network administrators can monitor SD-Routing
Alarms device alarms on Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Manager. This feature enables
SD-Routing devices to record and store various alarms generated by control
components and routers. For more information, see Cisco SD-Routing
Command Reference Guide.

Configure the Router for Web User Interface
Feature Description
Network-Wide Path Insights Network-Wide Path Insights (NWPI) is a tool that allows network
on SD-Routing Devices administrators to monitor Cisco SD-Routing deployment, identify network
and application issues, and optimize the network.
SD-Routing License This release introduces license management support for SD-Routing devices.
Management The supported licensing workflows include license assignment or configuration,
license use, and license usage reporting. Depending on the device, these
workflows are performed in the Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Manager or on the
device.
Seamless Software Upgrade This feature explains how to seamlessly upgrade and onboard an existing Cisco
for SD-Routing Devices Routing device into the Cisco SD-WAN infrastructure.
