Chapter 10 Cisco ASR 1002-X Router Overview and Installation
Cisco ASR 1002-X Router Description
The Cisco ASR 1002-X Router supports:
•
An integrated embedded services processor that provides a forwarding bandwidth of 5 Gbps, 10
Gbps, 20 Gbps, or 36 Gbps, depending on the Cisco software license that is installed on the router.
•
Hardware-based encryption with 4 Gbps of cryptography bandwidth.
•
An integrated route processor with upgradeable BootROM and 8 GB eUSB bulk storage.
•
4 GB, 8GB, or 16 GB memory. The memory unit is field replaceable. By default, the router is
shipped with the 4 GB memory unit.
Note
If you plan to use the software redundancy feature on the router, you must order either the 8 GB
memory unit or the 16 GB memory unit.
•
Two USB ports for USB flash sticks.
•
1 + 1 redundant AC or DC power supplies.
•
Stratum 3 network clocking per GR-1244-CORE, with T1/E1 BITS interface, SPAs, or any of the
six built-in Gigabit Ethernet ports can be used as timing sources.
•
Console ports and auxiliary ports, Ethernet 10/100/1000 Mbps network management ports.
•
Clocking, which includes Stratum 3/G.813 Clocking, BITS, In/Out, and GPS input/output interface
as well as a ToD interface. The router supports network synchronization clock prioritization.
•
Three half-height SPA slots, which can accommodate any combination of three half-height SPAs or
one half-height SPA and one full-height SPA. Each SPA slot can support a throughput of up to 10
Gbps. With the exception of the 2-Port Gigabit Synchronous Ethernet SPA (SPA-2X1GE-SYNCE)
and the Cisco WebEx Node SPA, all the SPAs supported by the other Cisco ASR 1000 Series
Aggregation Services Routers are supported by the Cisco ASR 1002-X Router.
Note
On the Cisco ASR 1002-X Router, the copper small form-factor pluggable (SFP) port's flow
control is on, regardless of the duplex setting. In contrast, on the Cisco ASR 1002 Router, the
copper SFP port's flow control is off when the duplex setting is Half.
•
Built-in 6x1GE SPA providing six SPF-based Gigabit Ethernet connections, designated as SPA bay
0. For optical SFPs, the Gigabit Ethernet ports are SyncE capable. The Gigabit Ethernet ports are
not SyncE capable for copper SFPs.
For information about the SFP transceiver modules that are compatible with the Cisco ASR 1002-X
Built-in Gigabit Ethernet Ports (6x1GE), refer to the “Modular Optics Compatibility” section in the
Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers SIP and SPA Hardware Installation Guide
.
•
An optional hard drive.
The forwarding bandwidth provided by the Cisco ASR 1002-X Router's ESP can be upgraded to 36
Gbps, depending on the Cisco software license that you install. The power supply modules of the router
are field-replaceable units.
