Overview of Cisco ASR 9000 Series Modular Line Cards Ecosystem

The Cisco ASR 9000 Series modular line cards, complemented by accessories like the A9K-LC-FILR-V2, offer a flexible solution supporting multiple Ethernet port combinations in a single slot. They enable network scalability with lower initial costs and seamless upgrades. The portfolio emphasizes investment protection, consistent feature support, broad interface availability, and cutting-edge technology.

Ideal for applications such as video-on-demand, IPTV, point-to-point video, Internet video, and cloud computing, these components deliver economical, scalable, line-rate Ethernet and IP/MPLS edge services. They form the foundation for Carrier Ethernet and IP/MPLS networks supporting business, residential, and mobile services.

Key Features and Capabilities

• Full compatibility with Cisco ASR 9922, 9010, 9006, and 9001 chassis, route switch processors (RSPs), and line cards; no chassis or cooling upgrades needed
• Customization per slot by mixing modular port adapters, e.g., 4-port 10GE with 20-port 1GE
• Simultaneous Layer 2 and Layer 3 services support, reducing CapEx and OpEx while accelerating service deployment
• High service density for predictable managed transport services and optimized network asset utilization
• Synchronization circuitry and backplane timing for transport-class network timing, supporting mobile backhaul and TDM migration
• Support for IEEE 1588v2 with Cisco RSP-440 for precision time distribution
• Integrated media-monitoring (VidMon) for real-time video/voice flow statistics and proactive maintenance
• G.709 with Advanced FEC for DWDM visibility, rapid fault recovery, proactive protection, and extended transmission performance
• Pluggable interfaces: 1GE SFP, 10GE XFP/SFP+, 40GE QSFP for mixing interface types
• Service Edge Optimized (enhanced QoS) and Packet Transport Optimized (basic QoS) variants; mixable in same system
• Line card online insertion and removal (OIR) without system impact
• Ethernet compliance: IEEE 802.3, 10GE PHY monitoring, IEEE 802.x flow control, full-duplex, per-port counters for drops, errors, packet types

Advanced Monitoring and Operations

• Carrier-class OA&M: NetFlow, IEEE 802.1ag, IEEE 802.3ah, ITU Y.1731, IP SLA, VCCV, ping, traceroute
• Video monitoring (VidMon): Real-time video flow monitoring with degradation alarms
• Cisco IOS XR Software: Modular, patchable, restartable, scalable, highly available, carrier-proven OS
• Synchronous Ethernet: Synchronization derivation/provision from/to Ethernet, RSPs, network interfaces
• IEEE 1588-2008: Precision time distribution

Software and Licensing

Deployable with Cisco IOS XR Release 4.2.0 or later. Optional per-line-card licenses for advanced features: Infrastructure VRF (up to 8 instances), Advanced IP (full-scale VRF), Advanced Optical (G.709/FEC), Advanced Video (inline monitoring).
