Key Features and Fenefits for 902 Series Router
The Cisco ASR 902 Series Router Chassis, or ASR 902, is a compact, high-performance router designed for service providers and enterprise networks. Some of its key features and benefits include:
- High-density 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GE) and Gigabit Ethernet (GE) ports: The ASR 902 supports a high number of 10GE and GE ports in a compact form factor, making it ideal for service providers and enterprise networks that require high bandwidth and port density.
- Advanced routing capabilities: The ASR 902 supports a variety of routing protocols, including Border Gateway Protocol (BGP), Open Shortest Path First (OSPF), and Intermediate System-to-Intermediate System (IS-IS), as well as advanced features such as Quality of Service (QoS) and Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS).
- Scalability: The ASR 902 is designed to be scalable, allowing it to easily adapt to changing network requirements. It supports a wide range of interface modules and can be used in a variety of configurations, including as a standalone router or as part of a larger network.
- Security: The ASR 902 includes a variety of security features, such as access control lists (ACLs), stateful firewall, and IP Security (IPsec) VPN, to help protect the network from unauthorized access and other security threats.
- High availability: The ASR 902 supports a variety of high availability and redundancy options, such as redundant power supplies and fan trays, to ensure that the router stays up and running even in the event of a failure.
- Ease of management: The ASR 902 can be easily managed and configured through the command-line interface (CLI) or web interface, allowing network administrators to quickly and easily make changes to the router’s configuration.
Configuring and Managing the ASR 902 through the CLI and web interface
The Cisco ASR 902 Series Router Chassis, or ASR 902, can be configured and managed through a variety of methods.
- Command-line interface (CLI): The ASR 902 can be configured and managed using the CLI, which is accessed through the console or a remote connection such as Telnet or SSH. The CLI allows network administrators to enter commands to configure and manage the router.
- Web interface: The ASR 902 also has a web interface that can be used to configure and manage the router. The web interface is accessed through a web browser and provides a graphical user interface (GUI) that allows administrators to easily make changes to the router’s configuration.
- Network management systems: The ASR 902 can also be managed using network management systems such as Cisco Prime Infrastructure or Cisco Network Services Orchestrator (NSO). These systems provide a centralized view of the network, allowing administrators to easily manage multiple ASR 902 devices from a single location.
- Configuration templates: The ASR 902 can be configured using configuration templates that can be quickly applied to the router to configure specific settings or services. This allows network administrators to quickly and easily configure the ASR 902 in a consistent manner.
- Automatic software updates: The ASR 902 supports automatic software updates, which allow the router to automatically download and install software updates as they become available. This helps to ensure that the router stays up to date and secure.
Networking and Connectivity Options for the ASR 902
The Cisco ASR 902 Series Router Chassis, or ASR 902, offers a variety of networking and connectivity options to support service providers and enterprise networks.
