FAQ
Q: How do I order ASR 1001-X Router?
A: Please contact us via Live Chat or cisco@router-switch.com.

Q: What new key items are introduced with the ASR 1001-X chassis?
A: The ASR 1001-X Series features two built-in 10-GigabitEthernet (GE) ports. In addition, the ASR 1001-X has a
network interface module (NIM) slot and a shared port adapter (SPA) slot to expand connectivity options.

Q: What system power-supply options are available for the ASR 1001-X?
A: The ASR 1000 Series supports, by default, two power entry modules (PEMs) with either AC receptacle or DC
terminal block for redundancy. The two redundant PEMs load-share the power between them. If an external power
supply fails or one PEM fails or is removed, the other PEM provides the entire power requirements for the chassis.

Q: Can one AC and one DC power supply be used together on the ASR 1000-X?
A: No. The ASR 1000 Series supports dual power supplies by default. However, the rout

Q: Can different Cisco IOS Software releases operate in the same network with the Cisco IOS XE Software releases?
A: Yes, Cisco took special care to preserve the interoperability

Q: What are the major components of the ASR 1000 Series?

A: The major components of the ASR 1000 Series include:
ASR 1000 Series chassis
ASR 1000 Series Route Processor (RP2 module, or a route processor, are integrated in ASR 1001- X, ASR 1002-X,
ASR 1001-HX, and ASR 1002-HX chassis)
ASR 1000 Series Embedded Services Processor (ESP20, ESP40, ESP100, and ESP200)

Q: What is the main difference between the ASR 1000 Series ESP2.5, ESP5, and ESP20, ESP40, ESP100, and ESP200
processors?
A: All ESPs are based on the Cisco Flow Processor for performing all data-plane forwarding functions, such as MAC
classification, Layers 2 and 3 forwarding, QoS, ACL, VPN, and NetFlow. The ASR 1000 Series ESP2.5 supports 2.5-Gbps
bandwidth (integrated in the ASR 1001-X chassis), and the ESP5 supports 5-Gbps bandwidth. The ESP20 supports 20-
Gbps bandwidth, the ESP40 supports 40-Gbps bandwidth, the ESP100 supports 100-Gbps bandwidth, and the ESP200
supports 200 Gbps bandwidth. The ASR 1000 Series ESP10-N does not support IPsec services. Refer to Table 3 for
more comparisons and specifications. The integrated ESP in the ASR 1001-X chassis supports from 2.5 to 5, 10, 20
Gbps (upgradable through a software license with software activation), whereas the integrated ESP in the ASR 1002-X
chassis supports from 5 to 10, 20, 36 Gbps.

ROUTER-SWITCH.COM 13
Q: What is the expected performance of the ASR 1000 Series?
A: The overall forwarding performance of the ASR 1000 Series depends on the ESP. The overall control-plane
performance of the ASR 1000 Series depends on both the route processor and the ESP.

Q: What is the ACL processing capability of the ASR 1000 Series?

The ASR 1000 Series processes ACLs in the ESPs. The ASR 1000 Series supports up to 4000 unique ACLs and up to
400,000 access control entries (ACEs) per system.

A: How can I deploy the value-added features on ASR 1000 Series Routers?
First, select a Cisco IOS XE Software consolidated package that supports the required features. Second, check whether
this feature requires a software license. If it does, you must purchase the required license in addition to the Cisco IOS
XE consolidated package. The consolidated package and license are linked to the chassis, so if you upgrade from one
route processor to another or from one ESP to another, you do not need to purchase a new consolidated package or
feature license.
