Cisco ASR 920 Series Aggregation Services Routers Data Sheet. External Interfaces The Cisco ASR 920 routers have these external physical interfaces on the front panel: Network Interfaces The network interfaces are provided through fixed ports. • GE SFP ports—supports 100/1000 modes Note Ports 8 and 9 do not support 100M and copper SFPs.
To use this port, disable the flow control on the terminal. USB Console A single USB 2.0 Type-A receptacle is provided on the front panel of the Cisco ASR 920 router for providing console access to ROMMON, Cisco IOS-XE and diagnostics. While it uses the Type-A connector, it operates as a USB peripheral only for connection to an external host computer.
If a surge of more than 500 V is expected, add an appropriate external surge protective device. Caution In case of power supply failure, it is highly recommended to let a Cisco technician replace the router. LED Indicators This section describes the different types of LEDs and their behavior.
