Chapter 1 Cisco ASR 920 Series Aggregation Services Router Overview
Cisco ASR 920 Router Features
Online Insertion and Removal
The Cisco ASR 920 router supports the following OIR operations:
•
When an SFP is removed, there is no effect on traffic flowing on other ports.
•
When an SFP is installed, the system initializes that port for operation based upon the current
configuration. If the inserted SFP is incompatible with the current configuration for that port, the
port does not become operational until the configuration is updated.
•
Both power supplies are installed and active and the load may be shared between them or a single
PSU could support the whole load. When a power supply is not working or the input cable is
removed, the remaining power supply takes the entire load without disruption. If the power supply
needs repair, the whole system must be replaced.
