Troubleshooting tips

Feature Set: What Can You Actually Do With Version 15.4(1)T?

The adventerprisek9 designation unlocks a production-grade routing stack suitable for CCIE-level studies and small enterprise edge simulation. i86bi-linux-l3-adventerprisek9-15

Optimized for routing tasks rather than switching. For switching, a corresponding Layer 2 (L2) image like i86bi-linux-l2-adventerprisek9 is typically used alongside it. Performance Workaround: Routing protocols : OSPF, EIGRP, BGP, IS-IS, RIP

3. Key Capabilities

  • Routing protocols: OSPF, EIGRP, BGP, IS-IS, RIP
  • MPLS: LDP, MPLS VPN, TE
  • Multicast: PIM, IGMP
  • Security: ACL, zone-based firewall, IPSec VPN, DMVPN
  • QoS: CBWFQ, LLQ, policing, shaping
  • High availability: VRRP, GLBP, stateful failover (SSO)
  • Management: SNMP, NetFlow, Syslog, SSH

3. Preparation on the Device

  • Ensure Proper Installation Media: Have a compatible installation media ready (like an SSD or USB drive, depending on the device's requirements).
  • Backup Existing Configuration: If upgrading an existing device, ensure you have a backup of the current configuration.

Core Routing Protocols (Full Support)

  • IPv4 & IPv6 – Dual stack, static, default routes.
  • OSPFv2 / OSPFv3 – Standard areas, stub, NSSA, authentication.
  • EIGRP – Classic and named mode, EIGRPv6.
  • IS-IS – For service provider environments.
  • BGP – Full support, including route reflectors, communities, as-path filtering, and BGP IPv6.
  • RIPv2 / RIPng
