Data Processing Card - Cisco ASR 5500 Installation Manual

Rear Cards
MIO/UMIO daughter cards are not user installable or replaceable.
Important
Important MIO/UMIO cards are shipped with SFP+ SR or LR transceivers installed.

Data Processing Card

The ASR 5500 chassis supports multiple DPCs/UDPCs in the rear facing slots of the chassis.
The DPC/UDPC has two identical CPU subsystems with each containing:
• Two six-core processors for a total of 24 cores per card
• 96 GB of RAM
• NPU for session data flow offload
• Crypto offload engines located on a daughter card
DPC/UDPCs manage subscriber sessions and control traffic.
Data Processing Card version 2
The DPC2/UDPC2 is the second generation Data Processing Card (DPC) for the ASR5500. It offers increased
performance versus the first generation DPC, while maintaining backwards compatibility with other ASR
5500 cards. The raw input/output has been increased from 80Gbps (DPC/UDPC) to 150Gbps (DPC2/UDPC2).
The DPC2 requires StarOS 18.0 or higher. The UDPC2 requires StarOS 18.2 or higher with a special
Important
Universal PID chassis license. See the Chassis, UMIO, UDPC and UDPC2 License Requirements appendix
for additional information.
The DPC2/UDPC2 has three CPU subsystems. Each subsystem consists of two twelve-core processors that
are paired with a Platform Controller Hub (PCH). This CPU configuration supports a total of 72 cores per
card.
Each CPU subsystem is associated with 32 GB of DDR4 memory (total of 192 GB per DPC2) and a latest
generation crypto offload engine.
The DPC2/UDPC2 is equipped with the Cisco Anti-Counterfeit Technology 2 (ACT2) chip. The ACT2
services multiple functions including:
• IEEE 802.1AR standard based Immutable Identity
• Extensible set of cryptographic functions
• Secure storage capabilities (cryptographic keys and credential storage).
• Installation of customers' own identity certificates (802.1AR LDevID)
• Source for true random entropy (NIST SP-800-90 certifiable)
