Description
Advanced Routing Protocols and Features
The Cisco ASR 901 10G 16 Ports Router (A901-6CZ-FT-D) offers advanced routing protocols and features to provide efficient and reliable routing for your network. Some of these protocols and features include:
- Border Gateway Protocol (BGP): BGP is used to exchange routing information between routers in different autonomous systems (AS). BGP enables the router to exchange routing information with other routers in the Internet.
- Open Shortest Path First (OSPF): OSPF is a link state routing protocol used to distribute routing information within a single autonomous system. OSPF allows the router to quickly converge on a new topology and make efficient use of network resources.
- Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP): EIGRP is a Cisco proprietary routing protocol that provides advanced features such as fast convergence, unequal cost load balancing, and support for multiple network layer protocols.
- Routing Information Protocol (RIP): RIP is a distance-vector routing protocol that uses hop count as a routing metric.
- Quality of Service (QoS): QoS allows you to prioritize different types of network traffic, such as voice and video, to ensure that critical applications receive the bandwidth they need.
- Virtual Private Network (VPN): VPN allows you to create secure, encrypted connections between the router and remote networks or devices.
- Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS): MPLS is a mechanism that allows you to create virtual private networks (VPNs) by tagging packets with labels.
- IPv6 support: The router supports IPv6, the latest version of the Internet Protocol that allows for more IP addresses and improved security.
These advanced routing protocols and features provide efficient and reliable routing for your network, allowing you to optimize network performance and security.
