Cisco ASR 9001 Router
The Cisco ASR 9001 Router is a compact high-capacity provider edge (PE) router that delivers 120 Gbps
of non-blocking, full-duplex fabric capacity in a two-rack-unit (2RU) form factor. Similar to other routers
in the Cisco ASR 9000 Series, running Cisco IOS XR software images, the Cisco ASR 9001 Router delivers
the features and services found on the ASR 9000 Series platforms, allowing customers to standardize on the
same Cisco IOS XR image. The Cisco ASR 9001 Router has an integrated route processor (RP) and two
modular bays that support 1 GE, 10 GE and 40 GE modular port adapters (MPAs). The base chassis has four
integrated 10 GE enhanced small form-factor pluggable (SFP+) ports, a GPS input for stratum-1 clocking,
building integrated timing supply (BITS) ports, and management ports. The following figure shows the front
panel of the Cisco ASR 9001 Router.

Cisco ASR 9001-S Router
The Cisco ASR 9001-S Router is a 60 Gbps variant of the Cisco ASR 9001 Router. Similar to other routers
in the Cisco ASR 9000 Series, running Cisco IOS XR software images, the Cisco ASR 9001-S Router delivers
the features and services found on the ASR 9000 Series platforms, allowing customers to standardize on the
same Cisco IOS XR image. The Cisco ASR 9001-S Router comes standard with one modular bay (BAY 0)
that supports either a 1 GE, 10 GE, or 40 GE modular port adapters (MPAs). The chassis also comes usable
with two fixed SFP+ ports (SFP+0 and SFP+1). The second MPA slot (BAY 1) and other two SFP+ ports
(SFP+2 and SFP+3) are disabled and covered with dust caps by default. It supports the same set of features
