Configuring the Throughput Level
The built-in embedded service processor of the Cisco ASR 1001-X Router supports throughputs of 2.5 Gbps
(default), 5 Gbps, 10 Gbps, and 20 Gbps depending upon the software license.
You can upgrade the throughput of the ESP from 2.5 Gbps (default) to 5 Gbps, 10 Gbps, or 20 Gbps by
applying a software-activated performance upgrade license and then reloading the router. You can upgrade
the throughput of the ESP from any license level to another.
To determine the current throughput level of the ESP, run the show platform hardware throughput level
command. The following example shows the output from this command after you apply the 20 Gbps
performance upgrade license and reload the router:
Router# show platform hardware throughput level
The current throughput level is 2000000 kb/s
After the router is reloaded, the log messages at the router startup will display the license-level and
throughput-level information, for example:
