THE SPECIFICATIONS AND INFORMATION REGARDING THE PRODUCTS IN THIS MANUAL ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE. ALL STATEMENTS, INFORMATION, AND RECOMMENDATIONS IN THIS MANUAL ARE BELIEVED TO BE ACCURATE BUT ARE PRESENTED WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. USERS MUST TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR APPLICATION OF ANY PRODUCTS.

THE SOFTWARE LICENSE AND LIMITED WARRANTY FOR THE ACCOMPANYING PRODUCT ARE SET FORTH IN THE INFORMATION PACKET THAT SHIPPED WITH THE PRODUCT AND ARE INCORPORATED HEREIN BY THIS REFERENCE. IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO LOCATE THE SOFTWARE LICENSE OR LIMITED WARRANTY, CONTACT YOUR CISCO REPRESENTATIVE FOR A COPY.

The following information is for FCC compliance of Class A devices: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio-frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference, in which case users will be required to correct the interference at their own expense.

The following information is for FCC compliance of Class B devices: The equipment described in this manual generates and may radiate radio-frequency energy. If it is not installed in accordance with Cisco’s installation instructions, it may cause interference with radio and television reception. This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device in accordance with the specifications in part 15 of the FCC rules. These specifications are designed to provide reasonable protection against such interference in a residential installation. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.

Modifying the equipment without Cisco’s written authorization may result in the equipment no longer complying with FCC requirements for Class A or Class B digital devices. In that event, your right to use the equipment may be limited by FCC regulations, and you may be required to correct any interference to radio or television communications at your own expense.

You can determine whether your equipment is causing interference by turning it off. If the interference stops, it was probably caused by the Cisco equipment or one of its peripheral devices. If the equipment causes interference to radio or television reception, try to correct the interference by using one or more of the following measures:

•Turn the television or radio antenna until the interference stops.

•Move the equipment to one side or the other of the television or radio.

•Move the equipment farther away from the television or radio.

•Plug the equipment into an outlet that is on a different circuit from the television or radio. (That is, make certain the equipment and the television or radio are on circuits controlled by different circuit breakers or fuses.)

Modifications to this product not authorized by Cisco Systems, Inc. could void the FCC approval and negate your authority to operate the product.

CRS-1 specifications

Cisco Systems' Carrier Routing System (CRS-1) is a cutting-edge, high-capacity router designed to meet the demands of service providers and large enterprises. Introduced in the early 2000s, the CRS-1 represents a significant leap forward in routing technology, offering unparalleled performance, scalability, and reliability.

One of the primary features of the CRS-1 is its exceptional scalability. The system is built on a modular architecture that allows for easy upgrades and expansions. This enables service providers to start with a configuration that suits their immediate needs while having the flexibility to expand as traffic demands grow. The CRS-1 supports a wide range of line cards, enabling data, voice, and video to be managed on a single platform, which simplifies network management and reduces operating costs.

The CRS-1 leverages advanced technologies that enable it to deliver impressive performance. With the ability to handle up to 92 terabits per second of throughput, the router is capable of supporting a vast number of connections, making it well-suited for large-scale service providers and data centers. This level of performance is powered by Cisco’s proprietary silicon technology, which optimizes the packet forwarding process and enhances overall efficiency.

Another key characteristic of the CRS-1 is its strong focus on reliability and redundancy. The system is designed with high availability in mind, ensuring that it can continue to operate seamlessly even in the event of hardware failures. Redundant components, such as power supplies and route processors, allow the CRS-1 to maintain its performance and uptime, a critical requirement for mission-critical network operations.

Additionally, the CRS-1 supports a wide variety of protocols and technologies, including Internet Protocol (IP), Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS), and various service provider features. This versatility makes it a compelling choice for organizations looking to implement advanced networking capabilities, such as Quality of Service (QoS) and traffic engineering.

In summary, the Cisco Systems CRS-1 stands out as a formidable solution for modern routing needs. Its modular design, exceptional scalability, robust performance, reliability, and support for multiple protocols and services make it an ideal choice for service providers and enterprises seeking to future-proof their networks. As the demand for bandwidth continues to surge, the CRS-1 remains a pivotal component in the evolution of networking infrastructure.
