Cisco ASR 1000 Series Router Features
• Online insertion and removal (OIR) capability
• Route processor and embedded services processor redundancy in the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Routers
(Cisco ASR 1013 Router and Cisco ASR 1006 Router)
• Control processor for ASR 1000 Series SPA Interface Processor
• Control processor for embedded services processors (Cisco ASR1000-ESP5, Cisco ASR1000-ESP10,
Cisco ASR1000-ESP20, integrated Cisco ASR1002-ESP-F, Cisco ASR1000-ESP40, Cisco
ASR1000-ESP100, and Cisco ASR1000-ESP200)
• 10 Gbps and 20 Gbps interconnect between Cisco QuantumFlow Processor with redundant Cisco ASR
1000 Series ESP to mirror data for stateful features
• Power supply redundancy
• Environmental monitoring and reporting functions
• Family of routers using common hardware and software architecture
• Centralized forwarding design (all network traffic passes through one engine)
• Front-to-back airflow—Allows you to mount the router from either front or back into 19-inch equipment
rack
• Supports half-height shared port adapters (HHSPAs) and full-height shared port adapters (FHSPAs)
Note
The Cisco ASR 1001 Router does not support full-height SPAs.
• Single midplane design (all connectors on one interface midplane)
• One 10/100/1000-Mbps Ethernet Management port—To be used only as a management port; not to be
used as an Ethernet interface port
• Both quarter-rate (87.5 MHz) and full-rate (350 MHz) shared port adapter operation
The Cisco QuantumFlow Processor processing provides:
• Architecture to address Cisco ASR 1000 Series router performance, cost, power, and feature velocity
• Next Generation forwarding and queuing subsystems for Cisco routers to provide data path acceleration.
The Cisco ASR 1000 Series route processor system performs the following system management functions:
• Sending and receiving routing protocol updates
• Managing tables, caches, and buffers
• Monitoring interface and environmental status
• Providing Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) management through the console and Telnet
interface
• Accounting for and switching of data traffic
• Booting and reloading images
