The Cisco ASR 1000 Series Router Family

Cisco’s ASR 1000 Series comes in several models with different throughputs and port densities so that have the right size ASR, with the right amount of power and performance without having to spend more than you need to.

We even offer non-modular models which allow you to pay incrementally for the additional throughput you need as your network and business needs grow without having to buy a new platform.
Across the router family, speeds range from 2.5 Gbps to 200 Gbps.

I can assure you that the Cisco ASR 1000 offers you the best price/performance value of any similar router in the marketplace.

Network Interface Modules


ASR 1001-HX   60G Fixed


ASR 1002-HX (Kahuna) 100G Fixed


ASR1000 Modular Chassis


ASR1009-X–Power Efficient 9RU with 100G per Slot


1013 vs 1009-X:
9-X: 300Gbps
13RU: 200Gbps + 160 = 360Gbps
10x10 EPA x 2 = 200G per slot
Up to 6 10x10 EPAs = 600G of 10G Ethernet connectivity
1013
4 x 10x10 EPAs in 2 MIP slots = 400G
6x10G * 4 = 240G

ASR1000-X modular chassis configuration


ASR 1009/6-X Power Supply

• AC or DC power supply modules

1)    Fault tolerance - Detects short circuits and component failures within the PS, if a failure is found, the unit is shut down
2)    High efficiency - More than 85% efficient to reduce power waste even at low loads
3)    Load sharing
4)    Redundancy (N+1)
5)    Hot-swappable

• Both chassis default config is 2xPS (non-redundant model).


• ASR1009-X may need 3xPS (non-redundant model) in some high power consumption configs.


• Each chassis can accommodate up to 6 power supplies, providing both chassis-level and facility-level power fault tolerance.

RP3–Next Gen Route Processor

• Positioned to help customers migrate from RP1s & RP2s


• Investment protection – Supports most of existing and all planned ESPs (ESP100-X, ESP200-X, ESP400-X), interface cards (SIP40, MIP100) and modular chassis (ASR1013, ASR1006-X and ASR1009-X)


• Higher maximum DRAM capacity - 8G default, expandable to 64GB


• Built-in SSD drive - 100GB default, upgradeable to 400GB+ for log / core /data collection and for running container apps in the future


• Larger Flash memory - 8G default for NVRAM contents


• Dedicated Crypto Assist chip for better crypto performance and scale (CPS)


• Same price as RP2
