Introduction
Cisco Catalyst 3650 Series Switches are the next generation of enterprise class stackable access layer
switches, with the new and improved 160-Gbps StackWise-160. Security and application visibility and
control are natively built into the switch.
Cisco Catalyst 3650 Series Switches also support full IEEE 802.3 at Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+),
modular and field replaceable network modules, redundant fans, and power supplies. The Cisco Catalyst
3650 Series Switches enhance productivity by enabling applications such as IP telephony and video for
a true borderless network experience.
Cisco IOS XE, Cisco IOS XE Denali 16.x.x, and now Cisco IOS XE Everest 16.x.x, represent the
continuing evolution of the preeminent Cisco IOS operating system. The Cisco IOS XE architecture and
well-defined set of APIs extend the Cisco IOS software to improve portability across platforms and
extensibility outside the Cisco IOS environment. The Cisco IOS XE software retains the same look and
feel of the Cisco IOS software, while providing enhanced future-proofing and improved functionality.

Cisco Nonstop Forwarding (NSF) Cisco NSF is now supported for IPv6 traffic.
Support for IPv6
Cisco NSF works with the Stateful switchover (SSO) feature to
minimize the amount of time a network is unavailable to its users
following a switchover.
See Stack Manager and High Availability -> Configuring Cisco
NSF with SSO.
(IP Services)
High Availability: (1:1) Determines the active and standby role for a specific switch in a
Redundancy stack, based on the flash rommon variable.
See Stack Manager and High Availability -> Configuring 1:1
Redundancy.
(LAN Base, IP Base, and IP Services)
Internet Group Management Enables a multicast device to explicitly track the membership of
Protocol (IGMP) Explicit all multicast hosts in a particular multiaccess network. The
Tracking explicit racking of hosts, groups, and channels enables the device
to keep track of each individual host that is joined to a particular
group or channel.
See IP Multicast Routing -> IGMP Explicit Tracking.
(LAN Base, IP Base, and IP Services)
IP-Prefix and SGT-Based SXP Provides a filtering mechanism to solve the high IP-Scalable
Filtering Group Tag (SGT) bindings scale issue. When bindings are
exported or imported, filters are provided on a per-peer basis or
globally (applicable to all SXP connections) with an option to
filter either as a listener or a speaker. The filtering can also be done
based on IP prefixes or SGT.
See Cisco TrustSec Switch Configuration Guide -> IP-Prefix and
SGT-Based SXP Filtering.
(IP Services)
LAN Base enhancements for These protocols are now available at the LAN Base license level,
routing protocols with IPv4 and IPv6:

IPv6 Multicast with Virtual Allows a service provider to support two or more VPNs with
Private Networks (VPN) Routing overlapping IP addresses using one interface. VRF-Lite uses input
Forwarding Table (VRF-Lite) interfaces to distinguish routes for different VPNs and forms
virtual packet-forwarding tables by associating one or more Layer
3 interfaces with each VRF.
See IP Multicast Routing -> Configuring VRF-lite.
(IP Services)
Locator ID Separator Protocol • LISP Extranet Support—Refers to subscriber to provider
(LISP) Extranet Support and communication across instance IDs in a LISP network. With
Source Group Access Control List LISP Extranet support, hosts in VRF “A”, for example, can
(SGACL) Cell Statistics access shared resources in VRF “B”.
• SGACL Cell Statistics—An enhancement in the show cts
role-based counters ipv4 command, to display all SGACL
enforcement statistics for IPv4, providing visibility at the cell
level.

Multiprotocol Label Switching The following MPLS features are introduced in this release:
• Ethernet over MPLS • EoMPLS—One of the Any Transport over MPLS (AToM)
(EoMPLS) transport types. EoMPLS provides a tunneling mechanism for
Ethernet traffic through an MPLS-enabled Layer 3 core. It
• Virtual Private LAN Services
encapsulates Ethernet protocol data units (PDUs) inside
(VPLS)
MPLS packets and uses label stacking to forward them across
• EIGRP MPLS VPN PE-CE the MPLS network.
Site of Origin (SoO)
• VPLS—A class of VPN that supports the connection of
• Route Target Rewrite multiple sites in a single bridged domain over a managed
• external BGP (eBGP) and IP/MPLS network. VPLS uses the provider core to join
internal BGP (iBGP) OR multiple attachment circuits together, to simulate a virtual
eiBGP bridge that connects the multiple attachment circuits together.

• IPv6 Provider Edge over • EIGRP MPLS VPN PE-CE SoO—Introduces the capability to
MPLS (6PE) filter MPLS Virtual Private Network (VPN) traffic on a
per-site basis for Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing
• IPv6 VPN Provider Edge over Protocol (EIGRP) networks. SoO filtering is configured at the
MPLS (6VPE) interface level and is used to manage MPLS VPN traffic, and
to prevent transient routing loops from occurring in complex
and mixed network topologies.
• Route Target Rewrite—Allows the replacement of route
targets on incoming and outgoing Border Gateway Protocol
(BGP) updates. Route targets are carried as extended
community attributes in BGP Virtual Private Network IP
Version 4 (VPNv4) updates. Route target extended
community attributes are used to identify a set of sites and
VPN routing and forwarding (VRF) instances that can receive
routes with a configured route target.
• eiBGP— Enables you to configure multipath load balancing
with both eBGP and iBGP paths in Border Gateway Protocol
(BGP) networks that are configured to use MPLS VPNs. The
feature provides improved load balancing deployment and
service offering capabilities and is useful for multi-homed
autonomous systems and Provider Edge (PE) routers that
import both eBGP and iBGP paths from multihomed and stub
networks.
• 6PE—A technique that provides global IPv6 reachability over
IPv4 MPLS. It allows one shared routing table for all other
devices. 6PE allows IPv6 domains to communicate with one
another over the IPv4 without an explicit tunnel setup,
requiring only one IPv4 address per IPv6 domain.
• 6VPE—A mechanism to use the IPv4 backbone to provide
VPN IPv6 services. 6VPE is like a regular IPv4 MPLS-VPN
provider edge, with an addition of IPv6 support within VRF.
It provides logically separate routing table entries for VPN
member devices.

Automatic Boot Loader Upgrade

When you upgrade from any prior IOS 3.xE release to an IOS XE 16.x.x release for the first time, the
boot loader may be automatically upgraded, based on the hardware version of the switch. If the boot
loader is automatically upgraded, it will take effect on the next reload. If you go back to an IOS 3.xE
release, your boot loader will not be downgraded. The updated boot loader supports all previous IOS
3.xE releases.

Release Notes for Cisco Catalyst 3650 Series Switches, Cisco IOS XE Everest 16.6.x
19
 Upgrading the Switch Software

For subsequent IOS XE 16.x.x releases, if there is a new bootloader in that release, it may be
automatically upgraded based on the hardware version of the switch when you boot up your switch with
the new image for the first time.

Caution Do not power cycle your switch during the upgrade.

Scenario Automatic Boot Loader Response

If you boot Cisco IOS XE Everest The boot loader may be upgraded to version 4.66. For example:
16.6.2 the first time BOOTLDR: CAT3K_CAA Boot Loader (CAT3K_CAA-HBOOT-M) Version 4.66, RELEASE
SOFTWARE (P)

If the automatic boot loader upgrade occurs, while booting Cisco IOS XE Everest 16.6.2,
you will see the following on the console:
%IOSXEBOOT-Tue-###: (rp/0): Oct 17 13:07:19 Universal 2017 PLEASE DO NOT
POWER CYCLE ### BOOT LOADER UPGRADING 4
%IOSXEBOOT-loader-boot: (rp/0): upgrade successful 4
If you boot Cisco IOS XE Everest The boot loader may be upgraded to version 4.56. For example:
16.6.1 the first time BOOTLDR: CAT3K_CAA Boot Loader (CAT3K_CAA-HBOOT-M) Version 4.56, RELEASE
SOFTWARE (P)

If the automatic boot loader upgrade occurs, while booting Cisco IOS XE Everest
16.5.1a, you will see the following on the console:
%IOSXEBOOT-Sat-###: (rp/0): May 27 00:22:16 Universal 2017 PLEASE DO NOT
POWER CYCLE ### BOOT LOADER UPGRADING 4
%IOSXEBOOT-loader-boot: (rp/0): upgrade successful 4

Automatic Microcode Upgrade

During an IOS image upgrade or downgrade on a PoE or UPoE switch, the microcode is updated to
reflect applicable feature enhancements and bug fixes. Do not restart the switch during the upgrade or
downgrade process.
With the Cisco IOS XE Denali 16.x.x and the Cisco IOS XE Everest 16.x.x releases, it takes
approximately an additional 4 minutes to complete the microcode upgrade in addition to the normal
reload time. The microcode update occurs only during an image upgrade or downgrade on PoE or UPoE
switches. It does not occur during switch reloads or on non-PoE switches.
The following console messages are displayed during microcode upgrade:

Upgrading from Cisco IOS XE 3.xE to Cisco IOS XE Denali 16.x.x, or Cisco IOS XE
Everest 16.6.x in Bundle Mode
Follow these instructions to upgrade from Cisco IOS XE 3.xE to Cisco IOS XE Denali 16.x.x, or Cisco
IOS XE Everest 16.6.x in bundle mode:

Copy New Image to Stack

Note You cannot boot Cisco IOS XE Denali 16.x.x or Cisco IOS XE Everest 16.x.x via TFTP for the first time
with a Cisco IOS XE 3.xE boot loader. The Cisco IOS XE 3.xE boot loaders have a limitation, which
prevents the booting of an image larger than 400MB via the TFTP server. Since Cisco IOS XE Denali
16.x.x and Cisco IOS XE Everest 16.x.x images are larger than 400MB, you must boot the image via
flash.

Step 1 Make sure your TFTP server is reachable from IOS via GigabitEthernet0/0.

Step 4 Clear the boot variable
Switch(config)# no boot system

Step 5 Edit the boot variable to point to the new image.

Switch(config)# boot system flash:cat3k_caa-universalk9.16.06.01.SPA.bin

Step 6 Use the write memory command to save the configuration change.

Software Install Image to Flash

Step 4 Use the request platform software package install switch all file flash: new auto-copy
command to install the target image to flash. We recommend copying the image to a TFTP server or the
flash drive of the active switch.
If you point to an image on the flash or USB drive of a member switch (instead of the active), you must
specify the exact flash or USB drive - otherwise installation fails. For example, if the image is on the
flash drive of member switch 3:
request platform software package install switch all file
flash-3:cat3k_caa-universalk9.16.03.05.SPA.bin new auto-copy
<output truncated>

Step 6 After you have successfully installed the image, you no longer need the.bin image. If you copied the file
to flash
1. Enter the dir flash:*.bin command to check if it is still saved in the the flash of each switch.
2. If an image is still saved, you can delete it, if not, it has been deleted as part of the install
operation and you can skip this step.

Upgrading from Cisco IOS XE Everest 16.6.x to Cisco IOS XE 16.x.x in Install
Mode
Follow these instructions to upgrade from Cisco IOS XE Everest 16.6.x to a future IOS XE 16.x.x release
in Install mode. In order to do a software image upgrade, you must be booted into IOS via “boot
flash:packages.conf.”

Clean Up

Step 1 Ensure you have enough space in flash to expand a new image by cleaning up old installation files.

Note Use the switch all option to clean up all switches in your stack.

Software Install Image to Flash

Step 4 Use the request platform software package install switch all file flash: auto-copy command
to install the target image to flash. We recommend copying the image to a TFTP server or the flash drive
of the active switch.
If you point to an image on the flash or USB drive of a member switch (instead of the active), you must
specify the exact flash or USB drive - otherwise installation fails. For example, if the image is on the
flash drive of member switch 3:
request platform software package install switch all file
flash-3:cat3k_caa-universalk9.16.03.05.SPA.bin new auto-copy
<output truncated>
Expanding image file: flash-3: cat3k_caa-universalk9.16.03.05.SPA.bin

Note Use the switch all option to upgrade all switches in your stack
Use the auto-copy option to copy the .bin image from flash: to all other switches in your stack

Feature Sets
The Cisco Catalyst 3650 Series Switches supports three different feature sets:
• LAN Base feature set—Provides basic Layer 2+ features, including access control lists (ACLs) and
quality of service (QoS), up to 255 VLANs, support for routing protocols (Routing Information
Protocol (RIP), Open Shortest Path First (OSPF), Policy-Based Routing (PBR), Protocol
Independent Multicast Stub Routing (PIM Stub Routing) with IPv4 and IPv6, and routed access with
IPv4 and IPv6 (OSPF — up to 1000 routes, Multicast — up to 1000 routes).
• IP Base feature set—Provides Layer 2+ and basic Layer 3 features (enterprise-class intelligent
services). These features include access control lists (ACLs), quality of service (QoS), static routing,
Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP) stub routing, IP multicast routing, RIP, basic
IPv6 management, the OSPF Protocol (for routed access only). The license supports up to 4094
VLANs.
• IP Services feature set—Provides a richer set of enterprise-class intelligent services and full IPv6
support. It includes all IP Base features plus full Layer 3 routing (IP unicast routing, IP multicast
routing, and fallback bridging for only IP traffic). The IP Services feature set includes protocols such
as the EIGRP, OSPF Protocol. The license supports up to 4094 VLANs.

Limitations and Restrictions

• Smart Install—The feature is deprecated starting with Cisco IOS XE Everest 16.5.1a. The
commands are visible on the CLI until Cisco IOS XE Everest 16.6.1, but the feature is not supported.
Enter the no vstack command in global configuration mode and disable the feature.
• Limitations for YANG data modeling—A maximum of 20 simultaneous NETCONF sessions are
supported.
• Restrictions for QoS:
– When configuring QoS queuing policy, the sum of the queuing buffer should not exceed 100%.
– For QoS policies, only switched virtual interfaces (SVI) are supported for logical interfaces.
– QoS policies are not supported for port-channel interfaces, tunnel interfaces, and other logical
interfaces.
• Starting with Cisco IOS XE Denali 16.3.1, Centralized Management Mode (CMM) is no longer
supported.
• MSE 8.x is not supported with Cisco IOS XE Denali 16.x.x.
• WIPs is not supported with Cisco IOS XE Denali 16.x.x since the CMX WIPs solution is not
available.
• You cannot configure NetFlow export using the Ethernet Management port (GigabitEthernet0/0).
• The maximum committed information rate (CIR) for voice traffic on a wireless port is 132 Mb/sec.
• Flex Links are not supported. We recommend that you use spanning tree protocol (STP) as the
alternative.
• Outdoor access points are supported only when they are in Local mode.
• Restrictions for Cisco TrustSec:
– Dynamic SGACL download is limited to 6KB per destination group tag (DGT).
– Cisco TrustSec 802.1x is not supported.
– Cisco TrustSec Critical Auth is not supported.
– Cisco TrustSec can be configured only on physical interfaces, not on logical interfaces.
– Cisco TrustSec for IPv6 is not supported.
– Cisco TrustSec cannot be configured on a pure bridging domain with IPSG feature enabled. You
must either enable IP routing or disable the IPSG feature in the bridging domain.

 Caveats

• When a logging discriminator is configured and applied to a device, memory leak is seen under
heavy syslog or debug output. The rate of the leak is dependent on the quantity of logs produced. In
extreme cases, the device may crash. As a workaround, disable the logging discriminator on the
device.
• When the device is running SCP (Secure Copy Protocol) and SSH cryptographic operations, expect
high CPU until the SCP read process is completed. SCP supports file transfers between hosts on a
network and uses SSH for the transfer.
Since SCP and SSH operations are currently not supported on the hardware crypto engine, running
encryption and decryption process in software causes high CPU. The SCP and SSH processes can
show as much as 40 or 50 percent CPU usage, but they do not cause the device to shutdown.

Caveats
Caveats describe unexpected behavior in Cisco IOS releases. Caveats listed as open in a prior release are
carried forward to the next release as either open or resolved.

Cisco Bug Search Tool

The Bug Search Tool (BST) allows partners and customers to search for software bugs based on product,
release, and keyword, and aggregates key data such as bug details, product, and version. The BST is
designed to improve the effectiveness in network risk management and device troubleshooting. The tool
has a provision to filter bugs based on credentials to provide external and internal bug views for the
search input.
