Introduction to the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router
Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router Overview
RSPs interconnect the LCs for data plane and provide chassis management and control. Any LC can be
used as a network-facing trunk card or a subscriber-facing card. It can also provide any other form of
connectivity.
• ASR 9000v Satellite System on ASR 9001.
• ASR 9000v Satellite System on ASR 9922.
• ASR 901 as satellite to ASR 9000 family.
• ASR 903 as satellite to ASR 9000 family.
• 4xOC48, 4xOC12, and 2xOC12 SPAs.
• XFP10GER-192IR-L Optics.
The router uses the following LCs:
• 40-port 1GE LC (A9K-40GE-L, A9K-40GE-E, A9K-40GE-B)
• 4-port 10GE LC (A9K-4T-L, A9K-4T-E, A9K-4T-B)
• 2-port 10GE, 20-port GE combo LC (A9K-2T20GE-L, A9K-2T20GE-E, A9K-2T20GE-B)
• 8-port 10GE oversubscribed LC (A9K-8T/4-L, A9K-8T/4-E, A9K-8T/4-B)
• 8-port 10GE LC (A9K-8T-L, A9K-8T-E, A9K-8T-B)
• 16-port 10GE oversubscribed LC (A9K-16T/8-B)
• Cisco ASR 9000 Series SPA Interface Processor-700 (A9K-SIP-700)
• 24-Port 10-Gigabit Ethernet LC
• 2-Port 100-Gigabit Ethernet LC
• 20-Port Gigabit Ethernet Modular Port Adaptor
• 4-Port 10 Gigabit Ethernet Modular Port Adaptor
• 2-Port 10 Gigabit Ethernet Modular Port Adaptor
• 1-Port and 3-Port Clear Channel OC-3 ATM SPA
• 1-Port Clear Channel OC-12 ATM SPA
The backplane Gigabit Ethernet links, one to each RSP card, are used primarily for control plane
functions such as application image download, system configuration data from the IOS XR software,
statistics gathering, and line card power-up and reset control.
Note There are two types of image files: -P PIE files and -PX PIE files. The -P PIE files are used on Cisco
ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Routers with RSP route switch processors while the -PX PIE
files are used on Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Routers with RSP-400 route switch
processors.
Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router Overview
The Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router serves multiple functions. It can serve as:
• a multilayer Ethernet switching and aggregation platform
• a label edge router (LER) that sits at the edge of a Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) network
• a Multi-Service Edge (MSE) router connecting various access media technologies
