Description

The A9K-RSP5-TR is the fifth-generation Route Switch Processor for the Cisco ASR 9000 Series, in the Packet Transport (TR) variant. It suits carrier Ethernet edge, mobile aggregation and backhaul, Data Center Interconnect, L2VPN and L3VPN business services, IPTV and CDN deployments that favour a transport-optimised design.

The RSP5 uses an 8-core 1.9 GHz processor with 16GB or 24GB of ECC DRAM, and the 16GB variant is field-upgradable to 24GB. It includes two 128GB SSDs and an 8GB eUSB, two 100/1000BASE-T RJ-45 management ports, a console port and an auxiliary port. It controls up to seven switch fabrics, two on the RSP and five on dedicated fabric cards, and supports 1+1 RSP redundancy when both processors are the same type. Bidirectional capacity to each line card slot reaches 600G on the 9910 and 9906, 1.1T on the 9010 and 9006, and 1.8T on the 9904. It runs Cisco IOS XR and requires release 6.5.15 or later.

The RSP5 is supported in ASR 9010, 9006, 9904 and 9906 chassis, and in the ASR 9910 and 9906 with fabric cards. It works with 3rd, 4th and 5th generation line cards such as the A9K-8X100GE, A99-32X100GE, A9K-20HG-FLEX and A99-10X400GE-X.

FAQs

Q: Which software release does the A9K-RSP5-TR require?
A: It requires Cisco IOS XR 6.5.15 or later. Feature licensing follows the IOS XR and Cisco Smart Licensing model for the chassis.

Q: Which ASR 9000 chassis support this processor?
A: It is supported in the ASR 9010, 9006, 9904 and 9906 chassis, and in the ASR 9910 and 9906 together with fabric cards.

Q: Can I pair it with an SE variant RSP5 for redundancy?
A: No. Redundant RSPs must be the same type, so a TR processor pairs with another TR processor.

Q: Which line cards does it work with?
A: It works with 3rd, 4th and 5th generation ASR 9000 line cards, including the A9K-8X100GE, A99-32X100GE, A9K-20HG-FLEX and A99-10X400GE-X.

Q: How does the TR variant differ from the SE variant?
A: The Packet Transport (TR) variant is optimised for transport-focused deployments, while the SE variant is intended for large-scale service-edge deployments.
