Cisco-ASR1002-HX
The Cisco ASR1002-HX is a high-performance Aggregation Services Router designed for enterprise WAN aggregation, Internet edge, service-provider edge, data-center interconnect, and high-bandwidth network deployments. It provides scalable 10Gb/40Gb/100Gb-class connectivity, advanced routing and security services, and Cisco IOS XE in a compact 2RU platform.
Description
The Cisco ASR1002-HX is part of the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers, engineered for organizations that require high-performance, scalable, and resilient routing at the WAN, Internet, and service-provider edge.
The platform is designed around Cisco’s QuantumFlow Processor architecture, providing hardware-assisted packet processing and the ability to deliver multiple integrated network services without requiring separate appliances. It supports demanding applications such as WAN aggregation, Internet edge routing, data-center interconnect, cloud connectivity, and service-provider edge deployments.
The ASR1002-HX provides a combination of integrated and modular interfaces, supporting high-speed Ethernet connectivity. Depending on the installed interface modules and licensing, the platform can provide 10Gbps, 40Gbps, and 100Gbps-class connectivity, making it suitable for high-bandwidth network aggregation.
The router runs Cisco IOS XE, providing advanced routing, virtualization, programmability, automation, security, and service capabilities. It supports technologies such as IPv4/IPv6 routing, MPLS, QoS, NAT, IPsec VPN, firewall services, and application-aware networking.
The ASR1002-HX is also suitable for Cisco SD-WAN deployments, allowing organizations to combine high-performance routing with software-defined WAN capabilities.
