Description
Advanced Security Features of Chassis Router
The Cisco ASR 902 Series Router Chassis (ASR 902) offers a variety of advanced security features to protect service provider and enterprise networks from threats.
- Firewall: The ASR 902 includes a firewall that can be configured to block unauthorized access and protect the network from external threats.
- Virtual Private Network (VPN) support: The ASR 902 supports VPNs, which allow for secure communication over the Internet, protecting data from being intercepted. The router supports both IPsec and MPLS-based VPNs.
- Intrusion Prevention System (IPS): The ASR 902 includes an IPS that can be configured to detect and prevent intrusion attempts, such as denial-of-service (DoS) attacks.
- Access Control Lists (ACLs): The ASR 902 supports the use of ACLs, which can be used to restrict access to the network based on specific criteria, such as IP address or protocol.
- Secure Shell (SSH) and Secure Copy Protocol (SCP): The ASR 902 supports SSH and SCP, which provide secure methods of accessing and managing the router remotely.
- Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting (AAA) support: The ASR 902 supports AAA, which allows for the use of external authentication servers, such as RADIUS or TACACS, to authenticate users and control access to the network.
- Advanced Malware Protection (AMP) : The ASR 902 supports Advanced Malware Protection (AMP) which provides malware protection, threat intelligence, and incident response capabilities across the network.
Troubleshooting and Monitoring
The Cisco ASR 902 Series Router Chassis (ASR 902) offers a variety of troubleshooting and monitoring features to help diagnose and resolve issues with the router.
- Command-line interface (CLI): The ASR 902 includes a CLI that allows administrators to access the router’s configuration and troubleshoot issues.
- Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) support: The ASR 902 supports SNMP, which allows for the monitoring of network devices and the collection of performance statistics.
- Syslog support: The ASR 902 supports syslog, which allows for the collection and analysis of system log messages.
- Remote monitoring and management: The ASR 902 supports remote monitoring and management, which allows administrators to access and manage the router remotely.
- Embedded Event Manager (EEM): The ASR 902 includes an Embedded Event Manager (EEM) that allows administrators to create customized scripts to automate troubleshooting tasks and respond to events.
- Cisco IOS Embedded Event Manager (EEM) Applet: The ASR 902 supports Cisco IOS Embedded Event Manager (EEM) Applet, which allows for the automated monitoring of critical network events and the execution of actions in response to those events.
- Cisco IOS Embedded Syslog Manager (ESM) : The ASR 902 supports Cisco IOS Embedded Syslog Manager (ESM) which allows for the collection and analysis of syslog messages, and the ability to take actions based on the events that are detected.
High Availability and Redundancy Options
The Cisco ASR 902 Series Router Chassis (ASR 902) offers a variety of high availability and redundancy options to ensure that the network remains up and running even in the event of a failure.
- Redundant power supply: The ASR 902 includes a redundant power supply, which ensures that the router continues to operate even if one power supply fails.
- Redundant fans: The ASR 902 includes redundant fans, which ensure that the router continues to operate even if one fan fails.
- Hot swappable components: The ASR 902 supports hot-swappable components, which allows for the replacement of failed components without shutting down the router.
- Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP): The ASR 902 supports VRRP, which allows for the automatic failover of a virtual router in the event of a failure.
- Nonstop Forwarding (NSF): The ASR 902 supports Nonstop Forwarding (NSF), which allows for the forwarding of packets during a control-plane switchover.
- Graceful Restart (GR): The ASR 902 supports Graceful Restart (GR) which allows for the router to continue forwarding packets while it restarts the control plane.
- Hitless Failover : The ASR 902 supports hitless failover which allows for the router to switch over to the redundant system without any interruption in the service.
