Description
Advanced Wireless Features for Services Router
The Cisco ASR-9010-DC is a high-performance router that is designed for use in service provider networks. The “DC” version of the router is designed for use in data center environments and supports advanced wireless features. The router has 10 slots, which can be used to install a variety of interface cards to support different types of connections, such as Ethernet, T1/E1, and SONET/SDH. The advanced wireless features of the ASR 9010-DC include support for 4G and 5G cellular networks, as well as support for WiFi 6 (802.11ax) and other wireless technologies. This router is ideal for service providers who need to support high-bandwidth, low-latency wireless and wireline services for their customers.
High Availability and Redundancy
The Cisco ASR-9010-DC is designed to provide high availability and redundancy to ensure that network services remain up and running in the event of a failure. Some of the key features that contribute to the router’s high availability and redundancy include:
- Dual-redundant, modular power supplies: The router has two power supplies that can be used in an active/standby or active/active configuration to ensure that power is always available to the router, even if one power supply fails.
- Dual-redundant, modular fans: The router has two fan modules that can be used in an active/standby configuration to ensure that cooling is always available to the router, even if one fan module fails.
- Redundant supervisor engine: The router has two supervisor engines that can be used in an active/standby configuration to ensure that control plane functions are always available, even if one supervisor engine fails.
- Non-stop forwarding (NSF): The router supports NSF with Stateful Switchover (SSO), which allows the router to continue forwarding traffic during a switchover of the supervisor engine, without any interruption in the forwarding plane.
- Hot-swappable interface cards: The interface cards in the router can be replaced while the router is running, which helps minimize downtime.
These features are designed to help ensure that the ASR 9010-DC can provide highly available and redundant services to service provider networks in which the continuous availability is a critical requirement.
Software Upgrade and Maintenance
The Cisco ASR-9010-DC router is designed to be easily upgraded and maintained to ensure that it remains up-to-date and continues to provide optimal performance. Some of the key features that support software upgrades and maintenance include:
- Software image management: The router supports the use of multiple software images, which allows for easy rollback to a previous image in case of an issue.
- In-service software upgrade (ISSU): The router supports ISSU, which allows for a software upgrade to be performed without any interruption in service.
- Embedded Event Manager (EEM): The router includes EEM, which allows for the creation of custom scripts to automate various tasks, such as scheduling software upgrades or monitoring system performance.
- Cisco Prime Network Services Controller (NSC): It’s a network management solution that provides centralized management and monitoring of Cisco ASR routers, including software upgrades and maintenance.
- Cisco DNA Center: It is a network management platform that enables you to provision, monitor and troubleshoot your network infrastructure and services through a single pane of glass.
These features are designed to help ensure that the ASR 9010-DC can be easily upgraded and maintained to keep it running at peak performance, while minimizing downtime and disruption to network services.
