ADN-ED-400G-RTU1

Description

The Cisco ADN-ED-400G-RTU1 is the Edge Advantage with Essentials Software Right-To-Use (RTU) License per 400G, designed for the Cisco ASR 9901 Router. This license unlocks advanced Edge services on the compact high-capacity Provider Edge (PE) router, delivering 456 Gbps of nonblocking, full-duplex fabric capacity in a Two-Rack-Unit (2RU) form factor. Based on Cisco IOS XR 64-bit software, it standardizes operations across the ASR 9000 Series, enabling features like Layer 2 and Layer 3 VPN (L2VPN and L3VPN), mobile backhaul, Broadband Network Gateway (BNG), Ethernet Services, IPv4/IPv6, multicast, Synchronous Ethernet (SyncE), Ethernet OAM, MPLS OAM, ACLs, HQoS, MPLS TE-FRR, MC-LAG, IRB, NSF, NSR, Segment Routing, EVPN, Programmability, and Telemetry.

Key Features and Benefits

• Highly Scalable fabric: Supports high 1/10/40/100 Gigabit densities in 2RU form factor with built-in scalability for investment protection.
• Integrated ports: 42 ports including 16x1G, 24×1/10G (Dual rate), 2x100G ports.
• Cisco Pluggable interfaces: Mix and match 1/10/40/100 Gigabit Ethernet across chassis.
• Integrated route processor with 32 GB RAM: Runs Cisco IOS XR 64-bit for multidimensional scale applications.
• Distributed forwarding plane architecture: Independent port forwarding for enhanced performance and scale.
• Hardware-based IEEE 1588 support: Efficient timing services over packet networks.
• Two independent clock sources: BITS and SSU with DTI for redundant synchronization.
• GPS input: Stratum-1 clocking option.
• Processor: Integrated RSP with 4 cores, 2.4 GHz Intel CPU.
• Embedded USB memory (eUSB) port: For software image loading and upgrades.
• Front-panel LEDs: Status indication for RSP, power, compact flash, and HDD.
• Management ports: Easy console access.
• Redundant AC or DC power supplies.

The Cisco ASR 9901 sets standards for Layer 2 and Layer 3 10GE/1GE service density, supporting large-scale aggregation, Data Center Interconnect (DCI), and Satellite Network Virtualization (nV) in System mode. It includes industry-leading MAC-SEC encryption on all port speeds, reducing CapEx and OpEx while accelerating service deployment for Carrier Ethernet applications.

Hardware and Performance

The ASR 9901 features an integrated Route Switch Processor (RSP) and 42 integrated ports supporting 1/10/100GE speeds, GPS for stratum-1 clocking, BITS ports, and management ports. It supports Ethernet Services, L2VPN, IPv4/IPv6/L3VPN, Layer 2/3 multicast, SyncE, EOAM, MPLS OAM, ACLs, HQoS, MPLS TE-FRR, MC-LAG, IRB, NSF/NSR, and advanced IOS XR enhancements.

Flexible Deployment Options

Available through Flexible Consumption Model (FCM) and Traditional Business Model, with pay-as-you-grow structures. The license complements chassis options like ASR-9901-FC (456G FCM Chassis) and supports upgrades such as A9K9901-UP256-456G.
