Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers Hardware Installation Guide
OL-13208-11
Control address
IP address on the SBE or DBE used for terminating the H.248 control traffic between SBE and SBE.
Cisco ASR1000
embedded services
processor
The Cisco ASR 1000 Series embedded service processors are based on the Cisco QuantumFlow
Processor for next-generation forwarding and queuing in silicon.
The embedded services processors are responsible for the data-plane processing tasks and all network
traffic flows through them. They are also responsible for features such as firewalls, intrusion
prevention, Network Based Application Recognition (NBAR), and Network Address Translation
(NAT).
Cisco ASR 1006
Router
The Cisco ASR Router is a 6-rack unit (RU) chassis. It has the option of dual route processor and
embedded services processor support with 10 Gbps throughput support. It also supports up to 12 shared
port adapters (SPAs), which makes it the highest port density solution of the three Cisco ASR 1000
Series Routers.
Cisco ASR 1004
Router
The Cisco ASR 1004 Router is a 4-rack unit (RU) chassis that supports up to 8 shared port adapters
(SPAs) and comes with one route processor and one embedded services processor slot. The Cisco ASR
1004 Router provides 10 Gbps throughput support.
Cisco ASR 1002
Router
The Cisco ASR 1002 Router is a 2-rack unit (RU) chassis that comes with an integrated route processor
and a serial interface processor. It houses three shared port adapter (SPA) slots supporting half height
and full height SPAs. Configurable with either the 5 Gbps or 10 Gbps embedded services processor and
four built-in Gigabit Ethernet ports.
Cisco ASR 1002-F
Router
The Cisco ASR 1002-F Router is a 2-rack unit (RU) chassis that comes with an integrated route
processor (Cisco ASR1002-RP1) and a SPA interface processor (Cisco ASR1002-SIP10-F). It supports
one half-height SPA slot.
Cisco ASR 1013
Router
The Cisco ASR 1013 Router can hold 6 SIPs and provides superslots (more height and power) for the
RP and ESP P cards. The overall height is 13RU, to allow 3 in a 600mm rack + 3RU left over for other
equipment.
Cisco QuantumFlow
Processor
The forwarding processor chipset, which is on the ESP, for the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Router
consolidated
package
A single software image containing multiple sub-packages and a provisioning file. Cisco IOS XE
software is released using consolidated packages, and Cisco ASR 1000 Series Routers can be run using
a consolidated package or individual packages.
CPE
Customer premises equipment
CPLD
Complex Programmable Logic Device
CTS
Cisco Trusted Security. Cisco-defined protocols and procedures for user and device authentication and
role-based access control (includes packet tagging across network)
D
DBE
Data border element. Represents the media-handling portion of the SBC, controlling access of media
packets to the network.
