Cisco ASR1002-5G/K9 Aggregation Services Router

The Cisco ASR1002-5G/K9 Aggregation Services Router delivers up to 5 Gbps of system throughput and integrates embedded services processing via the ASR1000-ESP5, making it ideal for high-performance routing at enterprise WAN edges and service-provider aggregation points. As a member of the Cisco ASR 1000 Series, this router provides four Gigabit Ethernet ports for edge connectivity and three Shared Port Adapter slots for scalable expansion, supporting deployments in telecommunications networks, large enterprise campuses, and data center edge environments. With 8 GB of DRAM (expandable per configuration), dual AC power supplies for redundancy, and management interfaces including a console port, auxiliary port, and management Ethernet port, it emphasizes reliability and operability for network administrators and system integrators. It supports BGP, OSPF, EIGRP, and IS-IS routing protocols to provide secure WAN connectivity, traffic processing, and scalable services across enterprise and service-provider infrastructures, making it a suitable choice for network expansion, infrastructure upgrades, or replacement of legacy edge routing platforms.
