Cisco Cisco ONE - ASR1002-X

This guide provides an overview and guidance for ordering and configuring the Cisco^® ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers with their respective hardware components, Cisco IOS^® XE Software, and feature licenses. It first addresses ordering of individual components, including hardware, software, and licenses. Then several ordering examples are presented, as well as a step-by-step walk-through of the Cisco Dynamic Configuration Tool, and of a typical deployment, including bundles. Finally, a list of part numbers, also referred to as Product Identifiers (PIDs), is included.

The Cisco ASR 1000 Series consists of nine platforms:

• Cisco ASR 1001-X Router
• Cisco ASR 1001-HX Router
• Cisco ASR 1002-HX Router
• Cisco ASR 1002-X Router
• Cisco ASR 1004 Router
• Cisco ASR 1006 Router
• Cisco ASR 1006-X Router
• Cisco ASR 1009-X Router
• Cisco ASR 1013 Router

The Cisco ASR 1000 Series delivers multiple services embedded in the Cisco QuantumFlow Processor™ at wire speeds from 2.5 to 200 Gbps. The services supported on the Cisco QuantumFlow Processor include security services (for example, up to 78-Gbps [78G] encryption throughput and up to 6M firewall sessions), Quality of Service (QoS), Application Visibility and Control (AVC), Cisco Performance Routing (PfR), broadband aggregation, Cisco Unified Border Element (SP Edition), and Cisco Unified Border Element (Enterprise Edition). Additionally, the Cisco ASR 1000 offers feature-rich scalable Data Center Interconnect (DCI) solutions that include Cisco Overlay Transport Virtualization (OTV) and Virtual Private Label Switching (VPL) to connect geographically dispersed data centers. Advanced routing techniques such as the Locator Identity Separation Protocol (LISP) allow host mobility within and across subnets.

With separation of the control and data planes in the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Router architecture, software redundancy (on the Cisco ASR 1001-X, ASR 1001-HX, ASR 1002-HX, ASR 1002-X, and ASR 1004 Routers), and hardware redundancy (on the Cisco ASR 1006, ASR 1006-X, ASR 1009-X, and ASR 1013 Routers), the highly reliable Cisco ASR 1000 Series demonstrates a consistently high throughput, even when new services are added. Additionally, the modular Cisco IOS XE Software that is introduced with the Cisco ASR 1000 Series facilitates In-Service Software Upgrade (ISSU) on the ASR 1006, ASR 1006-X, ASR 1009-X, and ASR 1013 models.
