Description
Network Scalability and Capacity
The ASR1004 Cisco Aggregation Services Router (ASR) is designed to provide high network scalability and capacity for your network. Some of the key scalability and capacity features of the ASR1004 include:
- 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports: The ASR1004 includes 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports that can be configured for LAN or WAN connectivity, providing high-speed connectivity for your network.
- Virtualization: The ASR1004 supports virtualization, which allows you to create multiple virtual routers on a single physical router, increasing network capacity and reducing hardware costs.
- Quality of Service (QoS): The ASR1004 supports Quality of Service (QoS) which allows you to prioritize network traffic, ensuring that critical applications receive the bandwidth they need.
- MPLS: The ASR1004 supports Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) which allows you to create virtual private networks (VPNs) over a public infrastructure, increasing network scalability and security.
- High Availability: The ASR1004 supports a variety of High Availability (HA) options, such as stateful switchover (SSO) and non-stop routing (NSR), that allow you to ensure continuous network availability.
- Modularity: The ASR1004 has modular architecture which helps in easy upgradation and maintenance of the device.
Quality of Service (QoS) and Traffic Management
The ASR1004 Cisco Aggregation Services Router (ASR) includes a variety of Quality of Service (QoS) and traffic management features that allow you to prioritize and manage network traffic effectively. Some of the key QoS and traffic management features of the ASR1004 include:
- Class-Based Weighted Fair Queuing (CBWFQ): The ASR1004 supports Class-Based Weighted Fair Queuing (CBWFQ) which allows you to prioritize network traffic by classifying and marking packets, and then allocating bandwidth to each class of traffic according to a pre-configured weight.
- Low Latency Queuing (LLQ): The ASR1004 supports Low Latency Queuing (LLQ) which allows you to prioritize delay-sensitive traffic, such as voice or video, and ensure that it is transmitted with minimal delay.
- Traffic Shaping and Policing: The ASR1004 supports traffic shaping and policing which allows you to control the rate at which traffic is transmitted, and to limit the amount of traffic that a specific class of traffic can generate.
- Quality of Service (QoS) groups: The ASR1004 supports Quality of Service (QoS) groups which allows you to group similar traffic together and apply the same QoS policies to that traffic.
- Congestion Management: The ASR1004 also has congestion management feature which allows you to manage network congestion by providing mechanisms to detect and respond to network congestion.
Routing Protocols Supported by the ASR1004
The ASR1004 Cisco Aggregation Services Router (ASR) supports a wide range of routing protocols, which allows you to easily connect and manage your network. Some of the key routing protocols supported by the ASR1004 include:
- Border Gateway Protocol (BGP): The ASR1004 supports Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) which allows you to exchange routing information between routers in different autonomous systems (AS), and to create virtual private networks (VPNs) over a public infrastructure.
- Open Shortest Path First (OSPF): The ASR1004 supports Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) which allows you to establish routing tables within a single autonomous system (AS) and to support variable-length subnet masking (VLSM)
- Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP): The ASR1004 supports Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP) which is a Cisco proprietary protocol that allows for more efficient use of available bandwidth, faster convergence, and better scalability than traditional Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (IGRP).
- Routing Information Protocol (RIP) and RIPv2: The ASR1004 supports Routing Information Protocol (RIP) and RIPv2 which is a distance-vector routing protocol that uses hop count as a metric to determine the best path to a destination.
- IPv4 and IPv6: The ASR1004 supports both IPv4 and IPv6 routing protocols, allowing you to easily transition from IPv4 to IPv6 and to support dual-stack environments.
