Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Overview and Reference Guide

Chapter 2      Functional Description
System Management and Configuration
If the air temperature in the card cage rises, fan speed increases to provide additional cooling air to the 
internal components. If a fan fails, the others increase in speed to compensate.
Fan tray removal triggers environmental alarms and increases the fan speed of the remaining tray to its 
maximum speed.
Servicing
The system is populated with two fan trays for redundancy. If a fan tray failure occurs, it is possible to 
swap a single fan tray assembly while the system is operational. 
Fan tray removal does not require removal of any cables.
Assuming redundant configuration, removal of a fan tray results in zero packet loss.
System Shutdown
When the system reaches critical operating temperature points, it triggers a shutdown sequence of the 
system.
System Management and Configuration
The Cisco IOS XR Software on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Routers provides the system manageability 
interfaces: CLI, XML, and SNMP. 
Cisco IOS XR Software
The Cisco ASR 9000 Series Routers run Cisco IOS XR Software and use the manageability architecture 
of that operating system, which includes CLI, XML, and SNMP. Craft Works Interface (CWI), a 
graphical craft tool for performance monitoring, is embedded with the Cisco IOS XR Software and can 
be downloaded through the HTTP protocol. However, the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Routers support only 
a subset of CWI functionality. In this mode, a user can edit the router configuration file, open Telnet/SSH 
application windows, and create user-defined applications. 
System Management Interfaces
The system management interfaces consist of the CLI, XML, and SNMP protocols. By default, only CLI 
on the console is enabled. When the management LAN port is configured, various services can be started 
and used by external clients, such as Telnet, SSH, and SNMP, In addition, TFTP and Syslog clients can 
interact with external servers. CWI can be downloaded and installed on a PC or Solaris box.
For information about SNMP, see the “SNMP” section on page 2-88.
All system management interfaces have fault and physical inventory.
