Chapter 2 Cisco ASR 1000 Series Routers Components

Cisco ASR 1000 Series Route Processor

Table 2-2	Cisco ASR 1000 Series Route Processor Connectors (continued)
Label		Type	Description
CON		One RJ-45 for CON/AUX	Console port used to connect to a terminal.
AUX		One RJ-45 for CON/AUX	Auxiliary port used for remote management
			purposes.

The Cisco ASR 1000 Series Route Processor meets the following requirements:

•Supports up to 4GB(bytes) of memory with single-bit error correction and multi-bit error detection except for the built-in RP1 on the Cisco ASR1002 router

•Supports On-board Failure Logging (OBFL) with 2MB of memory

•Supports the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Router system architecture and midplane

•Enhanced Serdes Interconnect (ESI) at 11.5Gbps.

•Gigibit Ethernet switches for EOBC communication and boot-up of the Cisco ASR 1000 Series SPA Interface (SIP) and Cisco ASR 1000 Series Embedded Services Processor.

•Runs Cisco IOS network control plane (routing protocol, connections setup)

•Cisco IOS punt packet forwarding

•Active/Standby Cisco ASR 1000 Series Route Processor 1 and Cisco ASR 1000 Series Embedded Services Processor selection

•Code storage and download operational code to Cisco ASR 1000 Series Embedded Services Processor and Cisco ASR 1000 Series SPA Interface (SIP)

•Bulk storage: by default, it comes with a 40GB hard disk drive (HDD). A 32GB solid state disk drive (SSD optional) can also be configured.

•2 MB upgradeable BootROM, 1GB embedded USB memory (eUSB), except for the built-in RP1 on the Cisco ASR1002 router.

•Comes with 2GB of DRAM as default and can be upgradeable to 4 GB DRAM.

•Front panel support: Console, 10/100 Management port, two USB ports, CON port, and AUX port.

The two serial ports can run up to 115.2kbps with hardware flow control. One port is used as the CONSOLE port for secure configuration and status display. The default BAUD rate for the CONSOLE port should be set at 9600 BAUD. The console port is an asynchronous serial port; any devices connected to this port must be capable of asynchronous transmission.

The auxiliary port connects a modem or other DCE device (such as a CSU/DSU or other router) to allow remote service and dial backup access to the system. Both the console and auxiliary ports are asynchronous serial ports; any devices connected to these ports must be capable of asynchronous transmission.The AUX port is a diagnostics access port.

Cisco Embedded ASR1000-RP1 for Cisco ASR 1002 Router

The route processor for the Cisco ASR 1002 Router is integrated in the chassis and supports all the typical customer management interfaces such as the Ethernet network management port and console and auxiliary serial ports of the route processor for the Cisco ASR 1006 and ASR 1004 routers. It also has LED status indicators, an RJ-45 plug for a BITS timing reference and one USB ports which can be used with smart cards for secure key distribution or for image or configuration file updates. Figure 2-3shows the Cisco ASR1000-RP1 LEDs for the Cisco ASR1002 router.
