Cisco ASR 1000 Series Route Processor 1 Features
The Cisco ASR 1000 Series Route Processor 1 (RP1) is the route processor that receives and transmits all network packets through the active embedded services processor. The Cisco ASR 1000 Series RP1:
•Provides a configuration repository along with a hard disk drive (optionally a
•Provides the management interfaces of the platform including Dual Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter (DUART) that is used for the CON serial ports and Ethernet (ENET) management ports, CLI, status indicators, BITS interface, reset switch, ACO switch, and USB ports for secure keys.
•Provides chassis management (environmental, online insertion and removal)
•Provides
•Is 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.
•Provides control signals and Ethernet out of band channel (EOBC) for the two Cisco ASR 1000 Series Embedded Services Processors and one other Cisco ASR 1000 Series Route Processor 1.
•Includes control signals for monitoring the health of power entry modules, shutting down the power and driving alarm relays located on the power entry modules.
•Has high power (500mA) or low power (100mA) USB devices supported on both ports.
