Description
Description
Refurbished Cisco ASR1002-X/K9 with WarrantyÂ
The Cisco ASR1002âX is a 2RU aggregation services router built for highâavailability WAN edge and service provider POP deployments, delivering modular IOS XE services with hardwareâaccelerated features and software redundancy.
Designed for longâterm scalability, it supports performance upgrades via simple license activation instead of hardware swaps, preserving investments as bandwidth and services grow.
Key features
- Integrated route processor and embedded services processor with software redundancy for high availability in a compact 2RU chassis.
- Six builtâin 1GE SFP ports and three SPA slots for flexible I/O expansion and futureâproof connectivity.
- Frontâtoâback airflow and dual AC or DC power options to fit diverse data center and telco environments.
- Runs Cisco IOS XE for modularity, feature velocity, and resilient operations across enterprise and service provider networks.
Performance
- Delivers 5 Gbps by default and scales to 10, 20, or 36 Gbps through softwareâactivated performance licenses, eliminating costly hardware upgrades.
- Supports up to 4 Gbps of crypto throughput on the integrated ESP, enabling secure siteâtoâsite and SDâWAN encryption at scale.
- Engineered for lineârate services such as QoS, NAT, ZBFW, and DPI with acceleration from the Cisco Flow Processor architecture in IOS XE.
Interfaces and expansion
- Offers 6 x 1GE SFP interfaces onboard for immediate aggregation needs without additional modules.
- Provides 3 SPA slots for Shared Port Adapters, enabling flexible additions like higherâdensity Ethernet or specialized interfaces as requirements evolve.
- 19âinch rackâmountable 2RU chassis with compact depth and documented weight and environmental specs for easy facility planning.
Software and licensing
- Supports Cisco SDâWAN on IOS XE, integrating cloudâmanaged WAN, applicationâaware policies, and builtâin security for branch DIA and multicloud access.
- Uses Smart Licensing and tiered technology packages (IP Base, Advanced IP Services, Advanced Services) to activate features and align costs with operational needs.
- Performance upgrades from 5 to 36 Gbps are enabled via license keys on the ASR1002âX ESP, streamlining capacity increases as traffic grows.
Ideal use cases
- Enterprise WAN edge aggregation for sites adopting mobility, cloud, and collaboration, requiring consistent performance and policyâdriven traffic management.
- Service provider POPs delivering managed services, DCI, and highâscale VPNs with resilient operations and modular feature delivery.
- Migration path for legacy Cisco 7200 Series environments needing higher throughput, modern services, and IOS XE reliability in a compact form factor.
Technical highlights
- Form factor: 2RU, 19âinch rack mount; frontâtoâback airflow; dual AC or DC power options documented in Cisco hardware guides.
- Builtâin ports and slots: 6 x 1GE SFP, 3 x SPA slots; integrated route processor and ESP within the chassis.
- Throughput and crypto: 5 Gbps default, up to 36 Gbps with licenses; up to 4 Gbps crypto support on the integrated ESP.
