Cisco ASR 1000-ESP5
• Provide hardware abstraction layer between the packet processing-based forwarding engine and other
The Cisco ASR1000-ESP5, Cisco ASR1000-ESP10, Cisco ASR1000-ESP10-N, Cisco ASR1000-ESP20,
Cisco ASR1000-ESP40, Cisco ASR1000-ESP100, and Cisco ASR1000-ESP200 provide centralized
forwarding-engine options for the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers. The Cisco ASR
1002-F Router includes a nonmodular, integrated embedded services processor with a forwarding bandwidth
(throughput) of 2.5 Gbps. The integrated embedded services processor of the Cisco ASR 1002-X Router can
provide a forwarding bandwidth of 5 Gbps, 10 Gbps, 20 Gbps, or 36 Gbps.
The Cisco ASR1000-ESP10-N is the nonencryption version of the Cisco ASR1000-ESP10. The Cisco
ASR1000-ESP10-N can only support noncrypto Cisco IOS software images. It does not support encryption
capabilities such as IPsec.
The Cisco ASR 1000 Series Routers support the following Cisco ASR 1000 Series Embedded Services
Processors:
The embedded services processor can be upgraded only on redundant embedded services processor systems
Note
(Cisco ASR 1006 Router and Cisco ASR 1013 Router). The Cisco ASR 1002 router supports only one
Cisco ASR1000-ESP5 or ASR1000-ESP10. The Cisco ASR 1006 Router and Cisco ASR 1004 Router
do not support the Cisco ASR1000-ESP5. When performing upgrades, the Cisco ASR1000-ESP10, Cisco
ASR1000-ESP20, and any future ESPs can be upgraded.
Do not have different embedded services processors operating in the same chassis. The only time this
Note
condition occurs is when you are performing an upgrade.
