Description

The ASR 9000 RSP880 Transport (TR) is the Route Switch Processor for the Cisco ASR 9000 Series. It acts as the system processor and switch-fabric card for the ASR 9904, ASR 9006 and ASR 9010 chassis and runs Cisco IOS XR. This RL-TR variant carries the Transport feature set and is aimed at packet-transport roles in carrier Ethernet, Layer 2 and Layer 3 VPN, mobile backhaul and RAN aggregation, Data Center Interconnect, IPTV and CDN deployments.

This SKU is rate-limited to 440G per slot of fabric capacity, which matches the redundant (1+1) fabric capacity of the standard RSP880. It has an 8-core 1.9 GHz processor, 16 GB of ECC-protected DRAM, two 32 GB SSDs and 8 GB of embedded USB. Management connectivity is provided by two 100/1000BASE-T ports, one console port and one auxiliary port, with a front-panel USB 2.0 Type A port. Timing inputs include BITS, SSU DTI, IEEE 1588 PTP, ToD, 1-pps and 10 MHz. Features are enabled through IOS XR packages and licences.

The card works with 5th, 3rd and 2nd generation ASR 9000 line cards such as the A9K-8X100GE, A9K-4X100GE, A9K-24X10GE, A9K-MOD400 and A9K-MOD200. It supports 1+1 RSP redundancy, provided both RSPs are the same type, and requires Cisco IOS XR 5.3.0 or later.

FAQs

Q: Which chassis does this route switch processor fit?
A: The RSP880 is compatible with the Cisco ASR 9904, ASR 9006 and ASR 9010 chassis.

Q: How does this SKU differ from the standard RSP880?
A: This is the Transport (TR) variant with fabric capacity rate-limited to 440G per slot. That matches the redundant (1+1) fabric capacity of the standard RSP880.

Q: Which software does it need?
A: It runs Cisco IOS XR and requires release 5.3.0 or later. Features are enabled through IOS XR packages and licences.

Q: Can I run two of these in one chassis?
