Upgrading ISR1100 and ISR1100X Series Routers
Pre 20.4/17.4 vManage
Until 20.4/17.4 release:
• ISR1100-4G, ISR1100-4G-LTE, ISR1100-6G can be deployed
with Viptela OS for the pure play SD-WAN use cases
• Minimum software release supported on these platforms is
Viptela OS 19.2

With 20.4/17.4
Starting with 20.4/17.4:
• We have option to run the XE SD-WAN code on ISR1100 and SD-WAN
ISR1100X series routers and leverage all services such as Security,
AppQoE, SD-AVC which are supported on XE SD-WAN software
• Minimum software release supported on ISR1100X series routers is
Viptela OS 20.4 or XE SD-WAN 17.4

Prerequisites
Viptela OS XE SD-WAN
ISR1100 router should be first upgraded to 20.4 Viptela OS code to
upgrade the firmware and then we can migrate to XE SD-WAN
17.4 code

Only Controller Mode is supported with support of XE SD-

WAN. Autonomous Mode is not supported

Why Cellular Gateway is needed for high quality
Wireless WAN

Offices Inc.

Network stack is buried deep inside the

building, maybe underground. Chance
of a high-quality LTE or 5G signal is slim.
Extending the antenna via coax might
only get to ground level.

Why Cellular Gateway is needed for high quality
Wireless WAN

Cellular Gateway Offices Inc.

Cellular gateway is positioned to get a

high-quality LTE signal. Next to a window
or mounted near the roof with external
antennas with short coax runs.

Network Segmentation with TrustSec - SGT Tags

• Traditional networks create separate VLANs for classification
• Localize threats, limit impact radius, great for fewer deployments
• Need to manually allocate IP addresses, DHCP, Routing, ACLs
• Design needs to be replicated for floors, buildings, offices, and other
facilities globally
• Cost could be extremely high
