Network Connectivity Options for the ASR 5000 Router
The ASR5000-CHS-SYS-K9 Cisco ASR 5000 Router Complete Chassis offers a variety of network connectivity options to support different types of network deployments. Some of the key options include:
- Multi-Gigabit Ethernet: The router supports Multi-Gigabit Ethernet, which allows for high-speed data transfer over Ethernet connections.
- Fiber Optic: The router supports fiber optic connections, which allow for high-speed data transfer over long distances.
- Copper: The router supports copper connections, which are commonly used in local area networks (LANs) and data centers.
- SONET/SDH: The router supports SONET/SDH connections, which are commonly used in service provider networks.
- ATM: The router supports ATM connections, which are commonly used in service provider networks.
- MPLS: The router supports MPLS connections, which allow for efficient and flexible routing of traffic throughout the network.
- IPv4 and IPv6: The router supports both IPv4 and IPv6, which allows for the deployment of both legacy and modern network protocols.
- VPN: The router supports VPNs, which allow remote users to securely connect to the network, as if they were connected locally.
- VLAN: The router supports VLANs, which allow for the creation of virtual LANs, to segment the network and improve security.
- QoS: The router supports Quality of Service (QoS), which ensures that critical applications and services receive the bandwidth they need, while less important traffic is given a lower priority.
Quality of Service (QoS) and Traffic Management
The ASR5000-CHS-SYS-K9 Cisco ASR 5000 Router Complete Chassis includes advanced Quality of Service (QoS) and traffic management features to ensure that critical applications and services receive the bandwidth they need, while less important traffic is given a lower priority. Some of the key features include:
- Class-Based Weighted Fair Queuing (CBWFQ): The router uses CBWFQ to assign different priority levels to different types of traffic, ensuring that important traffic is given priority over less important traffic.
- Low Latency Queueing (LLQ): The router uses LLQ to assign low latency to delay-sensitive traffic, such as voice and video, ensuring that they are delivered with minimal delay.
- Weighted Random Early Detection (WRED): The router uses WRED to randomly drop packets when the queue becomes congested, in order to prevent a single flow from monopolizing the queue.
- Traffic Shaping: The router uses traffic shaping to control the rate at which traffic is sent, to ensure that the network is not oversubscribed and that traffic is sent at a rate that is appropriate for the network.
- Policing: The router uses policing to control the rate at which traffic is received, to ensure that the network is not overloaded and that traffic is received at a rate that is appropriate for the network.
- Virtual Private Network (VPN): The router supports VPNs, which allow remote users to securely connect to the network, as if they were connected locally.
- IP Routing: The router supports a variety of routing protocols, including RIP, OSPF, and EIGRP, to allow for efficient and flexible routing of traffic throughout the network.
- High Availability: The router includes support for high availability, which allows for failover to a secondary device in the event of a failure.
- Voice over IP (VoIP): The router includes support for VoIP, which allows for the transmission of voice calls over an IP network.
- IPv6 support: The router supports IPv6, which allows for more IP addresses and more efficient routing of traffic.
- Integrated management: The router can be managed through an integrated management platform, which allows the administrator to monitor and configure the router from a central location.
Advanced Security and Firewall Capabilities
The ASR5000-CHS-SYS-K9 Cisco ASR 5000 Router Complete Chassis includes advanced security and firewall capabilities to protect your network from malicious attacks and unauthorized access. Some of the key features include:
- Stateful Firewall: The router includes a stateful firewall, which inspects and controls incoming and outgoing traffic based on predefined security policies.
- Intrusion Prevention System (IPS): The router includes an IPS, which uses a combination of signature-based and anomaly-based detection to identify and block malicious traffic.
- Advanced Malware Protection: The router includes advanced malware protection, which uses a combination of signature-based and behavior-based detection to identify and block malware, including zero-day threats.
- Virtual Private Network (VPN): The router supports VPN, which allows remote users to securely connect to the network, as if they were connected locally.
- Network Address Translation (NAT): The router supports NAT, which allows the administrator to hide internal IP addresses from the outside world, making it more difficult for external attackers to target specific devices on the network.
- Access Control Lists (ACLs): The router supports ACLs, which allow the administrator to define which types of traffic are allowed or denied access to the network.
- Secure Shell (SSH): The router supports SSH, which allows for secure remote access and management of the router.
- Secure Copy (SCP): The router supports SCP, which allows for secure file transfer.
- Secure Sockets Layer (SSL): The router supports SSL, which allows for secure web-based management of the router.
- Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting (AAA): The router supports AAA, which allows for secure authentication and authorization of users and devices on the network.
- Advanced threat defense technology like Advanced Malware Protection (AMP) and Cisco Talos Intelligence, allows for complete security and protection against emerging threats.
- Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) and Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA) enable secure communication across the network
- Advanced access control, VPN and remote-access options to secure the network from unauthorized access and data breaches.
