Chapter 2 Cisco ASR 1000 Series Routers Components

Cisco ASR 1000 Series Embedded Services Processors

The Cisco ASR 1000 Series routers support the following Cisco ASR 1000 Series Embedded Services Processors:

Cisco ASR1000-ESP5

Note The Cisco ASR1000-ESP5 does not support redundant configurations.

Cisco ASR1000-ESP10

Cisco ASR1000-ESP10-N—The Cisco ASR1000 Embedded Services Processor 10G Non Crypto Capable board provides an ASR1000 solution for customers who are under export restrictions and not qualified to implement products that support strong encryption services. The Cisco ASR1000 Embedded Services Processor 10G Non Crypto Capable feature support is the same as the Cisco ASR100-ESP10 except that SSH, SSL and IPSec VPN services are not supported. For detailed information about this feature, refer to the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers Software Configuration Guide and the Cisco ASR 1000 Embedded Services Processor 10G Non Crypto Capable Feature Guide.

Cisco ASR1000-ESP20

Note Upgrading from a Cisco ESP to another Cisco ESP can be performed on redundant ESP systems only (Cisco ASR1006 and Cisco ASR1004 routers). The Cisco ASR1002 router supports only one Cisco ASR1000-ESP5 or ASR1000-ESP10. The Cisco ASR1006 and Cisco ASR1004 routers do not support the Cisco ASR1000-ESP5. Therefore, when performing upgrades, the Cisco ASR1000-ESP10, Cisco ASR1000-ESP20, and any future ESPs can be upgraded.

Note Do not have different embedded services processors operating in the same chassis. The only time this condition occurs is when you are performing an upgrade.

IThe Cisco ASR 1000 Series Embedded Services Processors consist of three main elements:

Cisco QuantumFlow Processor for packet processing and queueing and scheduling

Data plane interconnect

Forwarding Engine Control Processor (FECP) (located on the Cisco ASR Series Embedded Services Processor)

All initial Cisco ASR 1000 Series Embedded Services Processors are based on a common highly-programmable network Cisco QuantumFlow Processor (packet processing).
