• Command line interface (CLI), alarm, network management, logging, and statistics aggregation
• Chassis management
• Ethernet out-of-band management
• Punt path processing for packets not supported by the embedded services processors
• Provide a configuration repository along with a hard disk drive (optionally a solid-state drive) for logging
system statistics, records, events, errors, and dumps (for both the Cisco ASR 1006 Router, Cisco ASR
1004 Router and Cisco ASR 1013 Router).
• Provide the management interfaces of the platform including Dual Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter
(DUART) that is used for the CON and AUX serial ports. The MGMT Ethernet (ENET) management
ports, CLI, status indicators, BITS interface, reset switch, Audible Cutoff (ACO) button, and USB ports
for secure keys.
• Provide chassis management (environmental)
• Are field-replaceable units (FRU) with online insertion and removal (OIR) (except for Cisco ASR 1002
router).
• Provide non-volatile storage for the system used as the image and configuration repository along with
the logger for system statistics, records, events, errors, and dumps.
• Are responsible for the chassis management including activation and initialization of the other cards,
selection or switchover of active versus standby cards, image management and distribution, logging
facilities, distribution of user configuration information, and alarm control.
• Provide control signals and Ethernet out of band channel (EOBC) for the two Cisco ASR 1000 Series
Embedded Services Processors and Cisco ASR 1000 Series Route Processors.
• Include control signals for monitoring the health of power entry modules, shutting down the power and
driving alarm relays located on the power entry modules.
• The Cisco ASR 1000 Series route processor modules can be configured with either a 40 GB or a 32 GB
disk.
Cisco ASR 1000 Series Route Processor Differences
The Cisco ASR 1000 route processors receive and transmit all network packets through the active embedded
services processors. The following table describes the differences between the Cisco ASR1000-RP1 and Cisco
ASR1000-RP2.
