Description
Network Interface Modules (NIM) and Expansion Options
The ASR1002X-36G-K9 Cisco ASR 1002-X Base Bundle Router supports several types of Network Interface Modules (NIMs) and expansion options:
- Ethernet NIMs: The router supports a variety of Ethernet NIMs, including 10/100/1000Base-T, SFP and SFP+ interfaces.
- WAN Interface Card (WIC) NIMs: The router supports WIC NIMs for WAN connectivity, including T1/E1, serial, and ISDN interfaces.
- High-Speed WAN Interface Card (HWIC) NIMs: The router supports HWIC NIMs for WAN connectivity, including T3/E3, OC-3/STM-1, and OC-12/STM-4 interfaces.
- Service Module NIMs: The router supports service module NIMs for advanced services, such as VPN, firewall, and intrusion prevention.
- Flexible Interface Card (FIC) NIMs: The router supports FIC NIMs for flexible interfaces, such as T1/E1, serial, and ISDN interfaces.
- Advanced Interface NIM (AIM) NIMs: The router supports AIM NIMs for advanced services, such as VPN, firewall, and intrusion prevention.
- PVDM3 DSP NIMs: The router support PVDM3 DSP NIMs for advanced services such as voice, video, and conferencing.
- Additional Expansion options: The router also support for SPA Interface Processor (SIP) and Secure Services Processor (SSP) for additional expansion options.
Scalability and Performance of the ASR1002X-36G-K9
The ASR1002X-36G-K9 Cisco ASR 1002-X Base Bundle Router is designed for high performance and scalability, it has the following features:
- High-performance routing: The router supports high-performance routing with a forwarding rate of up to 80 Gbps, allowing it to handle large amounts of traffic.
- Scalable memory: The router has a scalable memory architecture that allows it to support more routing entries and more VPNs as the network grows.
- High-speed interfaces: The router has 36 Gigabit Ethernet ports, which provide high-speed connectivity to other network devices.
- Flexible deployment: The router can be deployed in a variety of network environments, including service provider, enterprise, and data center networks.
- Advanced security features: The router supports advanced security features such as VPN, firewall, and intrusion prevention to protect the network from external threats.
- Virtualization support: The router supports virtualization technologies such as Virtual Routing and Forwarding (VRF) and Virtual Private LAN Service (VPLS) to enable flexible network segmentation.
- High availability: The router supports high availability features such as redundancy and failover to ensure that the network remains up and running in case of a failure.
Quality of Service (QoS) and Traffic Management
The ASR1002X-36G-K9 Cisco ASR 1002-X Base Bundle Router has several Quality of Service (QoS) and traffic management capabilities, including:
- Class-Based Weighted Fair Queuing (CBWFQ): This feature allows you to assign different levels of priority to different types of traffic, such as real-time traffic or best-effort traffic.
- Low Latency Queuing (LLQ): This feature allows you to prioritize delay-sensitive traffic such as voice and video.
- Weighted Random Early Detection (WRED): This feature is used to prevent congestion on the router by randomly dropping packets when the queue reaches a certain threshold.
- Policing and shaping: The router supports both policing and shaping to limit the amount of traffic that can enter or exit an interface.
- Quality of Service (QoS) Group: The router allows to group similar traffic together and assign them a common class and a common set of characteristics.
- Hierarchical QoS: This feature allows you to apply multiple levels of QoS policies, allowing you to implement more granular control over your network traffic.
- MPLS-based traffic engineering: The router supports MPLS-based traffic engineering, which allows you to control the path that packets take through the network and improve network efficiency and performance.
- FlexVPN: The router supports FlexVPN which is a Cisco’s implementation for VPNs, FlexVPN enables the customer to use a simple, unified configuration to provide easy-to-deploy and secure VPN services.
