Description
Advanced Security Features of 10 Gigabit Router
The Cisco ASR1001X-2.5G-SEC is a high-performance router that is designed for use in service provider networks. The “2.5G-SEC” version of the router is designed for use in data center environments and supports advanced security features. The router has 9 slots, which can be used to install a variety of interface cards to support different types of connections, such as Ethernet, T1/E1, and SONET/SDH. The advanced security features of the ASR1001X-2.5G-SEC include:
- Firewall features: The router has built-in firewall capabilities that can be used to protect the network from unauthorized access and to filter out unwanted traffic.
- VPN features: The router supports virtual private network (VPN) capabilities that allow for secure communication between remote sites.
- Intrusion prevention and detection (IPS/IDS): The router has built-in IPS and IDS features that can be used to detect and prevent network intrusions.
- Security policy management: The router provides a centralized management interface for security policies, which allows administrators to easily configure and manage security settings.
- Advanced Malware Protection (AMP): The router has built-in AMP capabilities that can be used to detect and prevent malware from entering the network.
- Encryption: The router supports various types of encryption, such as IPsec, SSL and TLS, which can be used to secure network traffic.
These advanced security features are designed to help ensure that the ASR1001X-2.5G-SEC can provide secure and reliable services to service provider networks in which the security is a critical requirement.
Managing and Monitoring of 9-Slots Router
The Cisco ASR1001X-2.5G-SEC is designed to be easily managed and monitored to ensure that network services remain up and running and that the router is operating at optimal performance. Some of the key features that support management and monitoring include:
- Command-line interface (CLI): The router can be configured and managed through a command-line interface, which allows for detailed control over various settings.
- Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP): The router supports SNMP, which allows for the monitoring of various performance metrics, such as CPU and memory usage.
- Cisco Prime Network Services Controller (NSC): It is a network management solution that provides centralized management and monitoring of Cisco ASR routers, including software upgrades and maintenance.
- Cisco DNA Center: It is a network management platform that enables you to provision, monitor and troubleshoot your network infrastructure and services through a single pane of glass.
- NetFlow: The router supports NetFlow, which allows for detailed monitoring of network traffic, including information on the source and destination of traffic, as well as the types of traffic that are being sent and received.
- Embedded Event Manager (EEM): The router includes EEM, which allows for the creation of custom scripts to automate various tasks, such as scheduling software upgrades or monitoring system performance.
These features are designed to help ensure that the ASR1001X-2.5G-SEC can be easily managed and monitored to keep it running at peak performance, while providing detailed information about the network’s activity and issues.
High Availability and Redundancy
The Cisco ASR1001X-2.5G-SEC is designed to provide high availability and redundancy to ensure that network services remain up and running in the event of a failure. Some of the key features that contribute to the router’s high availability and redundancy include:
- Dual-redundant, modular power supplies: The router has two power supplies that can be used in an active/standby or active/active configuration to ensure that power is always available to the router, even if one power supply fails.
- Dual-redundant, modular fans: The router has two fan modules that can be used in an active/standby configuration to ensure that cooling is always available to the router, even if one fan module fails.
- Redundant supervisor engine: The router has two supervisor engines that can be used in an active/standby configuration to ensure that control plane functions are always available, even if one supervisor engine fails.
- Non-stop forwarding (NSF): The router supports NSF with Stateful Switchover (SSO), which allows the router to continue forwarding traffic during a switchover of the supervisor engine, without any interruption in the forwarding plane.
- Hot-swappable interface cards: The interface cards in the router can be replaced while the router is running, which helps minimize downtime.
- Redundant route processors: The router has two route processors that can be used in an active/standby configuration to ensure that routing functions are always available, even if one route processor fails.
These features are designed to help ensure that the ASR1001X-2.5G-SEC can provide highly available and redundant services to service provider networks in which the continuous availability is a critical requirement.
