Description
ASR-9001 overview:
The Cisco ASR 9001 Router (Figure 1), part of the Cisco ASR 9000 Series, is a compact Provider Edge (PE) router offering 120 Gbps of nonblocking capacity in a Two-Rack-Unit (2RU) form factor. It shares the same Cisco IOS® XR software image as other ASR 9000 Series routers, ensuring consistency across platforms. Equipped with an Integrated Route Switch Processor (RSP) and two modular bays, it supports 1 GE, 10 GE, and 40 GE Modular Port Adapters (MPAs). The base chassis features four integrated 10 GE Enhanced Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP+) ports, a GPS input for stratum-1 clocking, Building Integrated Timing Supply (BITS) ports, and management ports. see Cisco ASR ASR 9001-2
Cisco ASR 9001 Routers:
Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Routers deliver exceptional scale, service flexibility, and high availability to Carrier Ethernet transport networks. The routers are powered by Cisco IOS XR Software, an innovative self-healing, distributed operating system designed for always-on operation. This is the same operating system that powers industry-leading routers such as the Cisco CRS Carrier Routing System, bringing the same reliability, scalability, performance, and comprehensive features that have made the Cisco CRS the dominant entity in the service provider core.
Features and benefits of Cisco ASR 9001 Router:
- Scalable fabric: Designed to support high 1/10/40 Gigabit densities in a 2RU form factor, providing built-in scalability for investment protection.
- Integrated port: Includes four 10 GE services-enabled SFP+ ports for versatile connectivity options.
- Integrated route processor with 8 GB RAM: Runs Cisco IOS XR, a carrier-class operating system with high memory capacity suitable for a dedicated route-reflector application.
- Distributed forwarding plane architecture: Allows MPA cards to support independent forwarding for enhanced performance and scale.
- Control plane extension ports: Two 10 G out-of-band Ethernet communications ports support Network Virtualization (nV) technology for high-availability cluster applications.
- Hardware-based IEEE 1588 support: Delivers timing services over the packet network efficiently and reliably.
