and decreased usage of rack space. The Cisco ASR 1001 Router has the route processor, embedded services
processor, and SIP integrated within the chassis with one half-height SPA slot.
By default, the Cisco ASR 1001 Router is shipped with 4 GB of DRAM. To implement software redundancy,
a minimum of 8 GB memory must be installed on the router.
The Cisco ASR 1001 Router supports:
• ESP bandwidth 2.5 Gbps (default) to 5 Gbps of forwarding performance (optional software option)
• ESP memory: 1-GB DRAM default; 1-GB DRAM maximum
• Route-processor memory comes with 4-GB DRAM (default); 8-GB DRAM maximum
• 4-Gigabit Ethernet small form-factor pluggable (SFP) ports
For information about the SFP transceiver modules that are compatible with Cisco ASR 1002 Built-in Gigabit
Ethernet Ports (4x1GE), refer to the "Modular Optics Compatibility" section in
Aggregation Services Routers SIP and SPA Hardware Installation Guide
• External USB flash memory 1-GB USB flash memory support
Cisco ASR 1001 Router Architecture
The Cisco ASR 1001 Router provides all the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Router features, services, and performance
in a small form-factor chassis. The chassis contains a single integrated mainboard that implements all functions
of the route processor (RP), a SPA embedded processor (SIP), a forwarding processor (ESP) and a built-in
4x1 GE SPA.
The SPA interface is connected to a built-in 4xGE SPA, a single half-height (HH) SPA bay, and one flexible
integrated daughter card (IDC), providing additional SPA interfaces.
Cisco ASR 1001 Router hardware features include:
• Front-to-back air flow, with 7 built-in cooling fans, numbered from left to right, zero (0) to 6.
• Supports 1 + 1 redundant AC or DC power supplies.
• A cover interlock prevents cover removal with power supplies installed.
• Provides one half-height SPA bay (Bay 1 online insertion and removal (OIR) supported) and integrates
• Support for one factory-configurable integrated daughter card in SPA Bay 2. The integrated daughter
• Provides unique front panels for each integrated daughter card configuration.
• 8 GB internal flash
• Console and Auxiliary RJ-45 ports
• 4 GB DRAM (default)
• Forwarding Performance = 2.5G default, 5G with software license
