Description
Performance and Scalability
The Cisco ASR 1001-4X1GE Aggregation Services Router is a high-performance and scalable router that is well-suited for use in service provider networks. Some of its key performance and scalability characteristics include:
- High routing performance: The router supports up to 2 Gbps of total throughput and can route up to 1 million IP routes.
- Large memory and storage capacity: The router has 4 GB of DRAM and 4 GB of flash memory, which allows it to support large routing tables and other features.
- Scalable interfaces: The router has 4 x 1GE interfaces and supports various interface types such as SFP, SFP+, and XFP, which allows it to adapt to different network requirements.
- High-availability features: The router has a redundant power supply and fan trays, as well as hardware and software redundancy features such as Non-Stop Routing (NSR) and Stateful Switchover (SSO) to ensure high availability.
- Network management and monitoring: The router can be managed and monitored through the CLI, SNMP, and Cisco Prime Infrastructure, which provides a centralized management and monitoring solution.
- Support for various service provider-class features: The router supports various service provider-class features such as Quality of Service (QoS), Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS), and Virtual Routing and Forwarding (VRF) to support various service offerings and customer requirements.
Network Management Systems
The Cisco ASR 1001-4X1GE Aggregation Services Router can be managed and monitored through a variety of network management systems, including:
- Command-Line Interface (CLI): The router can be managed and configured through the CLI, which provides a command-line interface for configuring and monitoring the router.
- Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP): The router can be managed and monitored through SNMP, which allows for the monitoring of various performance and status metrics.
- Cisco Prime Infrastructure: Cisco Prime Infrastructure is a network management system that provides a centralized management and monitoring solution for Cisco devices, including the ASR 1001-4X1GE. It provides a web-based interface for configuring and monitoring the router, as well as troubleshooting and reporting capabilities.
- Cisco Network Services Orchestrator (NSO): Cisco Network Services Orchestrator (NSO) is a network services orchestration platform that allows for the automation of network provisioning and management. It integrates with the router via NETCONF and YANG, which allows for the programmatic configuration and management of the router.
- Cisco DNA Center: Cisco DNA Center is a network management system that provides a centralized management and monitoring solution for Cisco devices, including the ASR 1001-4X1GE. It provides a web-based interface for configuring and monitoring the router, as well as troubleshooting and reporting capabilities.
Routing Protocols
The Cisco ASR 1001-4X1GE Aggregation Services Router supports a wide range of routing protocols, including:
- Interior Gateway Routing Protocols (IGRP): IGRP is a Cisco proprietary routing protocol that is used to route packets within an autonomous system.
- Routing Information Protocol version 1 (RIPv1) and version 2 (RIPv2): RIP is a distance-vector routing protocol that is used to route packets within an autonomous system.
- Open Shortest Path First (OSPF): OSPF is a link-state routing protocol that is used to route packets within an autonomous system.
- Border Gateway Protocol (BGP): BGP is an exterior routing protocol that is used to route packets between autonomous systems.
- Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP): EIGRP is a Cisco proprietary routing protocol that is based on IGRP and is used to route packets within an autonomous system.
- Intermediate System-to-Intermediate System (IS-IS): IS-IS is a link-state routing protocol that is used to route packets within an autonomous system.
- Routing Information Protocol Next-Generation (RIPng) : RIPng is a routing protocol for IPv6 networks, an extension of RIP version 2 that support IPv6
- Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) : PIM is a multicast routing protocol that can be used in conjunction with any unicast routing protocol to provide multicast routing services.
- Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) : MPLS is a mechanism in high-performance telecommunications networks that directs data from one network node to the next based on short path labels rather than long network addresses.
The ASR1001-4X1GE also supports various routing features such as Virtual Routing and Forwarding (VRF) which allows multiple routing tables to coexist within the same router and allows for the creation of virtual routing instances, and policy-based routing (PBR) which allows for the definition of routing policies based on various criteria such as source and destination IP address, protocol, and port number.
