Secure Domain Routers
Cisco XR 12000 Series Routers can be partitioned into multiple, independent routers known as secure
domain routers (SDRs). Every router is shipped with a default SDR, which is called the owner SDR, by
default, owns all RPs and Line Cards (LCs) installed in the routing system. To build additional SDRs,
you must perform the following steps:
• Create each SDR using configuration commands
• Name the SDR
• Assign RP, PRP and LCs to the SDR
• Configure the interfaces on the LCs on the new SDR
An SDR is a group of cards within a router that is configured to operate as an independent router. SDRs
that are created with configuration commands are called SDRs and are configured with custom names to
distinguish them from the owner SDR and other named SDRs.
