Chapter 2 Cisco ASR 1000 Series Routers Component Overview
Cisco ASR 1000 Series Route Processor
The Cisco ASR 1000 Series route processor modules consist of a front panel label for indicator and
control functions and a separate label for the I/O connectors. The Cisco ASR1000-RP1 and Cisco
ASR1000-RP2 model number labeling is located next to the left card module handle. The modules also
contain card handles to assist in insertion or removal of the module.
Note
The Cisco ASR1000-RP1 and Cisco ASR1000-RP2 cannot exist in the same chassis.
The Cisco ASR1000-RP1 and Cisco ASR1000-RP2, Cisco ASR1000-ESPs, and power supplies can
support redundancy. Only one RP and one ESP are considered active at a time and no load sharing is
performed. However, the non-active RP or ESP is maintained in a warm standby state so that it can take
over the active role as quickly as possible if necessary. The following combinations of components are
supported:
•
Single RP—single ESP
•
Single RP—dual ESP
•
Dual RP—dual ESP
•
Dual RP—single ESP
In a fully redundant chassis, each RP is separately connected to each FP and I/O card slot over separate
point-to-point connections of the system interconnect over the midplane. The selection of the active RP
is made separately from the selection of the active ESP.
