ASR1001-HX-4GE

Description

The Cisco ASR1001-HX-4GE is a high-performance fixed chassis router from the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers, delivering advanced routing services for carrier-grade IP and MPLS packet networks. This model features 4x1GE active ports, 2x power supplies, and optional crypto acceleration, making it ideal for enterprise WAN edge deployments requiring secure, resilient connectivity.

Key Capabilities and Architecture

• Central control processor running Cisco IOS XE Software, providing advanced routing, component monitoring, and management
• Supports full range of Cisco IOS XE features: QoS, MPLS, L2VPN, L3VPN, Application Visibility and Control, Performance Routing (PfR), AppNav, Data Center Interconnect, Crypto, IPv6
• Powered by Cisco QuantumFlow Processor (QFP) for high-performance forwarding, integrated QoS, and service flexibility
• Fixed or built-in Route Processor for ASR 1001-HX chassis, with embedded features like redundant-processor support, HDD/SSD storage, USB ports
• Stratum-3 clock circuitry, BITS input/output for synchronous services like SONET/SDH
• Memory scalability up to 16 GB DRAM on ASR 1001-HX for routing table growth, MPLS VPNs, SBC, BBA

System Management and High Availability

• Automatically loads OS images to line cards, synchronizes state for redundancy, performs failover
• Provides console/auxiliary ports, USB, Ethernet for configuration/maintenance
• Monitors power, temperature of components; supports out-of-band access
• High availability: optional redundant-processor, dual IOS XE support, NSF, SSO, ISSU
• Field-replaceable/hot-swappable modular RPs (though ASR 1001-HX has integrated RP)

Interfaces and Connectivity

• 4x1GE active ports (built-in for fixed chassis)
• Single copper RJ-45 10/100/1000 management Ethernet port built into chassis
• Console and auxiliary ports (RJ-45)
