Description

The ASR 9000 RSP5-X is a fifth-generation route switch processor for the Cisco ASR 9000 chassis family. This Service Edge, Premium variant is built for carrier Ethernet edge, service-provider aggregation, Data Center Interconnect, mobile transport and 5G, business L2VPN and L3VPN, IPTV and CDN deployments that need high VRF, route, BFD and BGP NSR scale.

It carries 48GB of ECC-protected DRAM, an 8-core 2.7 GHz processor and two 128GB SSDs, plus 8GB of embedded USB and a front-panel USB 2.0 Type A port. It controls up to seven switch fabrics, two on the RSPs and five on dedicated fabric cards. Management and timing connectivity includes two 100/1000BASE-T RJ-45 ports, a console port, an auxiliary port, two BITS connections, GPS and an IEEE 1588 PTP 10/1G optical port. It runs Cisco IOS XR 7.6.2 or later.

The RSP5-X supports the ASR 9904, 9906, 9910, 9006 and 9010 chassis and works with 5th generation 100G and 400G line cards, as well as 4th and 3rd generation line cards. A redundant pair uses 1+1 RSP redundancy, with both RSPs of the same kind.

FAQs

Q: Does the A9K-RSP5-X-SE need a separate licence?
A: No separate licence is stated for the RSP5-X hardware. The SE Premium tier is defined by its 48GB memory profile, and the card requires Cisco IOS XR 7.6.2 or later.

Q: Which chassis does it work with?
A: It supports the ASR 9904, 9906, 9910, 9006 and 9010 chassis. The ASR 9910 and 9906 use a hybrid fabric with dedicated fabric cards.

Q: Which line cards does it support?
A: It works with 5th generation line cards such as the A99-32X100GE-X-SE, A99-10X400GE-X-SE, A9K-20HG-FLEX-SE, A9K-8HG-FLEX-SE and A99-4HG-FLEX-X-SE. It also supports 4th and 3rd generation line cards.

Q: Can I pair it with the Packet Transport (TR) version for redundancy?
A: No. In a 1+1 redundant pair both RSPs must be the same kind, so an SE card pairs with another SE card.

Q: How does the SE model differ from the TR model?
A: The SE (Service Edge, Premium) variant has 48GB of DRAM and suits large-scale multiservice edge deployments. The TR (Packet Transport) variant has 24GB of DRAM.
