Description
Introduction to the Service Router
The ASR1002-10G-K9 Cisco ASR 1002 Aggregation Service Router is a compact, high-performance router designed for enterprise and service provider networks. It offers a wide range of features and functionalities to support various network services, including routing, security, voice, and video.
The router has a compact form factor and can be easily deployed in a variety of environments, such as data centers, enterprise branch offices, and service provider points of presence. It supports up to 2 line-card slots, which can be used to expand the number of ports available for connecting to other devices.
The ASR1002-10G-K9 provides a wide range of routing protocols, such as OSPF, BGP, EIGRP and IS-IS, which allows for the efficient routing of traffic within and between autonomous systems. It also supports advanced Quality of Service (QoS) features, such as traffic shaping, prioritization and congestion management, to ensure that critical applications have the bandwidth they need.
The router also supports a variety of security features, such as stateful firewall, VPN, and intrusion prevention to protect the network from unauthorized access and malicious attacks. Additionally, it supports various network services, such as voice and video, to enable the deployment of multimedia applications.
The ASR1002-10G-K9 also supports a variety of management options, such as command-line interface (CLI), web-based GUI, and SNMP, which allows administrators to easily monitor and configure the router.
Remote Management Protocols
The Cisco ASR 1002 Aggregation Service Router (ASR1002-10G-K9) supports several remote management protocols, which allow you to access and configure the device remotely from a management station.
- SSH (Secure Shell) is an encrypted network protocol that allows for secure remote access and management of the ASR 1002. It provides a secure way to access the command-line interface (CLI) of the device and is recommended for use over Telnet, which sends data in plain text.
- Telnet is a network protocol that allows for remote access to the ASR 1002, but it is not as secure as SSH as it sends data in plain text. Telnet allows you to access the CLI of the device, but it is not recommended for use in secure networks.
- SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is a widely-used protocol for managing and monitoring network devices. It allows you to retrieve information about the device’s status and configuration, and to set configuration parameters remotely.
- HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) and HTTPS (HTTP Secure) are protocols used for managing and monitoring devices through a web browser. The ASR 1002 supports a web-based management interface, which can be accessed using these protocols. HTTPS provides added security as it encrypts the data being transmitted.
- RMON (Remote Monitoring) is a set of standards for monitoring and managing network devices remotely. RMON allows you to gather statistics and performance information about the ASR 1002, and to set alarms and thresholds for monitoring various aspects of the device.
- Syslog is a standard for sending log messages from network devices to a central log server. Syslog allows you to collect and store log messages from the ASR 1002, which can be useful for troubleshooting and monitoring the device.
It’s highly recommended to use SSH and HTTPS for remote management as they are more secure than Telnet and HTTP. SNMP, RMON and Syslog are mainly used for monitoring and troubleshoot the device.
Network Management and Monitoring
The Cisco ASR 1002 Aggregation Service Router (ASR1002-10G-K9) supports several network management and monitoring features that allow you to monitor and manage the device and the network it is connected to.
- SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is a widely-used protocol for managing and monitoring network devices. It allows you to retrieve information about the device’s status and configuration, and to set configuration parameters remotely.
- RMON (Remote Monitoring) is a set of standards for monitoring and managing network devices remotely. RMON allows you to gather statistics and performance information about the ASR 1002, and to set alarms and thresholds for monitoring various aspects of the device.
- Syslog is a standard for sending log messages from network devices to a central log server. Syslog allows you to collect and store log messages from the ASR 1002, which can be useful for troubleshooting and monitoring the device.
- NetFlow is a Cisco proprietary protocol that allows to monitor and analyze the traffic flow in the network, it can give you the information of the bandwidth usage, the source and destination IPs, the ports, and the protocols.
- IP SLA (Service Level Agreement) is a feature that allows you to measure network performance, including response time, availability, and jitter. IP SLA can be used to monitor the performance of specific applications or services, and to trigger alarms when performance thresholds are exceeded.
- Performance monitoring can be achieved by using the built-in MIBs (Management Information Base) and the command line interface (CLI) to monitor the performance of the device, such as the CPU utilization, memory usage, and the interface statistics.
- Management and monitoring tools such as Cisco Prime, Cisco Network Assistant, or other third-party network management platforms can be used to manage and monitor the ASR 1002, giving you a more comprehensive view of the device and the network it is connected to.
In general, these features allow you to monitor and manage the ASR 1002 and the network it is connected to, providing you with the necessary information to troubleshoot, optimize, and ensure the network’s performance and availability.
