Feature | Benefit |
Support for Cisco IOS XE Software | • Supports a breadth of IP network services, including quality of service (QoS), MPLS, Layer 2 virtual private network (L2VPN), Layer 3 virtual private network (L3VPN), and IPv6 |
• Uses the field-proven Cisco IOS Software for all IP network services | |
High availability | • Provides optional redundant-processor support and dual Cisco IOS Software support for single-route-processor solutions for a highly compact, fully redundant, high-availability solution, improving network resiliency, management, and costs |
Stratum-3 clock circuitry and BITS input ports | • Facilitates support of clocking for synchronous services such as SONET and SDH |
Memory scalability of up to 16 GB | • Allows pay-as-you-grow scalability so memory can increase as more users or features are added; the scalability offered through memory upgrades includes: |
• Routing-table growth | |
• Additional MPLS VPN routing and forwarding instances | |
• Feature additions such as SBC and broadband aggregation (BBA) | |
Hard-drive support | • Allows for greater storage area for code storage, boot, configurations, billing, logs, etc. |
USB Compact Flash support | • (USB ports) Allows for easier manageability for code storage, boot, configurations, logs, etc. |
Modularity | • Offers maximum investment protection and flexibility by allowing customers to upgrade to future Cisco ASR 1000 Series Route Processors |
Note: Cisco ASR 1002 and ASR 1002 Fixed Routers (part numbers ASR1002 and ASR1002-F, respectively) have an integrated RP1 built into the chassis that is not upgradable. |
