Description
Network Connectivity Options for the ASR-9006-DC
The ASR-9006-DC Cisco 9006 Aggregation Services Router offers a variety of network connectivity options:
- Copper ports: The router has a total of 48 Gigabit Ethernet ports, which can be configured as either copper or SFP+ ports.
- Fiber ports: The router has 6 SFP+ ports, which can be used for 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections.
- WAN connectivity: The router has four 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports that can be used for WAN connectivity, either via fiber or copper.
- Redundancy: The router has built-in redundancy features such as dual power supplies and redundant supervisor engines, to ensure that the network remains up and running in case of a failure.
- High-density: The router has 6 slots that can accommodate different modules like the NIM and PVDM, which can be used to add more ports and capabilities to the router.
- MPLS: The router supports Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) which can be used to create virtual private networks (VPNs) for secure and efficient communication between different sites.
- IP services: The router supports various IP services such as IPv4 and IPv6 routing, Quality of Service (QoS), and security features like access control lists (ACLs) and firewall functionality.
Advanced Routing and Switching Capabilities
The ASR-9006-DC Cisco 9006 Aggregation Services Router has advanced routing and switching capabilities, including:
- Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) – supports routing and peering between multiple autonomous systems, providing scalable and stable routing for large networks.
- Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) – supports routing within a single autonomous system, providing fast and efficient routing for large networks.
- Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP) – supports routing within a single autonomous system, providing enhanced routing capabilities for Cisco devices.
- Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) – supports high-performance routing for traffic engineering and VPN services, providing efficient and scalable routing for large networks.
- Quality of Service (QoS) – supports different levels of service for different types of traffic, ensuring that critical applications receive the necessary bandwidth and low-latency.
- Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) – supports the bundling of multiple physical links to form a single logical link, providing increased bandwidth and redundancy.
- Virtual Routing and Forwarding (VRF) – supports the creation of multiple virtual routing tables, allowing for the separation of different network segments within the same physical router.
- IPv6 support – supports routing and switching for IPv6 addresses, allowing for the use of the latest internet protocol.
Security and Threat Protection Features
The Cisco ASR 9006 Router has a number of security and threat protection features to help protect the network from attacks. Some of these features include:
- Firewall: The router has a built-in firewall that can be used to filter incoming and outgoing traffic based on predefined rules.
- VPN: The router supports Virtual Private Network (VPN) connections, allowing for secure communications between remote locations.
- Intrusion Prevention System (IPS): The router can be configured to detect and prevent known attacks, such as those based on specific attack signatures.
- Access Control Lists (ACLs): The router can be configured to restrict access to certain network resources based on a user’s identity or the source of the traffic.
- Network Admission Control (NAC): The router can be configured to authenticate and authorize network devices before allowing them to access network resources.
- anti-X: The router has built-in anti-virus, anti-spam, anti-spyware, and anti-phishing features that can help protect against malicious software and unwanted email.
- Encryption: The router supports encryption protocols such as IPsec, SSL and TLS.
These are some of the security features that are available on the Cisco ASR 9006 Router, but it is important to note that a combination of security measures should be implemented to provide a comprehensive security solution.
