The Cisco® ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Routers (ASR 9000 Series) represent an exciting new
paradigm in edge and core routing, with exceptional scalability, carrier-class reliability, environmentally
conscious design, incredible flexibility, and an attractive price-to-performance benchmark. The Cisco ASR
9000 Series has a wide product portfolio (Figure 1), ranging from the Cisco ASR 9001 (2 Rack Units [2RU]) to
the Cisco ASR 9922 (44RU), with each system designed to provide true carrier-class reliability using the Cisco
IOS® XR operating system, comprehensive system redundancy, and a full complement of network resiliency
schemes. Finally, the Cisco ASR 9000 Series is designed to simplify and enhance the operational and
deployment aspects of service-delivery networks.
This data sheet covers the ASR 9000 Series modular chassis. Please refer to ASR 9000 Series Compact
Chassis Data Sheets for the ASR 9903, ASR 9902, ASR 9901 and ASR 9001 data sheets.
Figure 1.
Cisco ASR 9000 Series Modular Chassis
The Cisco ASR 9000 Series is an operationally simple, future-optimized platform using next-generation
hardware and software. The following are highlights of this next-generation platform:
● Fully distributed system: The Cisco ASR 9000 Series operates in a fully distributed fashion; all packet-
forwarding decisions and actions take place on the individual line cards. These high-density Ethernet line
cards are equipped with a specialized network processor that provides a flexible programming
infrastructure with high-density Hierarchical Quality-of-Service (H-QoS) services, security, and
advanced timing capabilities, with PTP and Synchronous Ethernet (SyncE) support. The distributed
nature of the Cisco ASR 9000 Series improves resiliency by adding a new dimension in scale for features
such as Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) and Ethernet Operations, Administration, and
Maintenance (EOAM).

● Operationally efficient and redundant hardware: The Cisco ASR 9000 Series provides an infrastructure
where all common components, Route Switch Processors (RSPs), Route Processors (RPs), switching
fabric, fans and power supplies are redundant. In addition, the platform is designed to use power on an
as-needed basis, depending on system requirements. Power has been modularized for a true pay-as-
you-grow approach, reducing Capital Expenditures (CapEx) and providing an operationally efficient
deployment. Cisco ASR 9000 Series also provides advanced power management to control power
utilization. The Cisco ASR 9000 Series also provides space-optimized, high capacity compact-platform
options.
● Environmentally conscious design: In today’s world of increasing awareness of human impact on the
environment and the resultant fiscal implications, Cisco ASR 9000 Series Routers bring a fresh new
“conscious” approach to product development. From optimal thermal design to the architecture of the
power infrastructure, from the placement of line-card components to the pitch of each slot, every design
aspect has one goal in mind: reduced environmental impact through lowered power consumption and
decreased cooling requirements. Even the product packaging process was evaluated to minimize the
use of packaging material and thereby reduce waste at customer locations. The Cisco ASR 9000 Series
is an example of the continued Cisco commitment to efficient and future-friendly product design.
● Cisco IOS XR Software modular operating system: The Cisco ASR 9000 Series uses the Cisco IOS XR
operating system, which provides high quality, ultra-scale and rich features. The Cisco IOS XR operating
system uses a microkernel architecture to achieve true modularity. This modularity provides the path to
nonstop operations during software image upgrades or module changes, without affecting normal
platform functionality.
● Optimized for IPv6: Cisco is delivering on our strategy of building out IPv6 next-generation networks to
simplify design, deployment, and management of services for global service providers.
The Cisco ASR 9000 Series offers advanced switching capacity, optimized power consumption and cooling,
high-availability design, and a modular operating system to significantly lower the Total Cost of Ownership
(TCO) for service providers.
Solving the challenges of tomorrow, today

The Cisco ASR 9000 Series is built on the premise of addressing the challenges that service providers face
when deploying current networks and planning for the networks of tomorrow:
● Power-efficient deployments: The Cisco ASR 9000 Series has a significantly improved energy-efficient
design thanks to its low Watt/Gbps ratio. This amazing breakthrough ultimately translates to lower power
costs, lower carbon footprint, and the ability to serve more customers and deliver more services in less
rack space.
● Increasing Average Revenue Per User (ARPU): Service providers may increase the price models of
existing services or increase the service offerings per user. Although traditional service prices continue
to decline, the Cisco ASR 9000 Series helps establish a new financial reality by facilitating reliable and
scalable next-generation converged service edge and advanced Carrier Ethernet service offerings.

● Managing services simply and efficiently: The Cisco ASR 9000 Series provides leading-edge network,
device, and service management through a full complement of management solutions called Crosswork
Network Automation. Cisco Crosswork Network Automation is a closed-loop, outcome-driven software
suite used to deliver efficient mass-scale network operations across the services lifecycle. This is a
scalable solution for operators of all-sized networks to accelerate mean-time-to-value by monetizing
agile new services and minimizing mean-time-to-remediation to proactively prevent customer impacting
issues. Combining these elements with a comprehensive set of Ethernet, Multiprotocol Label Switching
(MPLS) and Segment Routing Operations, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM) capabilities, the Cisco
ASR 9000 Series provides an operator-friendly environment.
● Network convergence: A common objective among service providers is to migrate their networks to a
single, converged infrastructure that supports all services. This goal is compelling because it ultimately
results in decreased CapEx and Operating Expenses (OpEx) because of a reduction in network elements.
The Cisco ASR 9000 Series is a critical component in optimizing service-transport infrastructure because
of its service flexibility, comprehensive feature set, wide interface capability, and transparent integration
of Carrier Ethernet and WAN interfaces as the foundation for services delivery. The Cisco ASR 9000
Series provides a powerful single solution to the providers’ MultiService Edge (MSE), Ethernet-optimized
MSE (E-MSE), and Carrier Ethernet needs.
● Meeting tomorrow’s service requirements: Designed into the Cisco ASR 9000 Series are critical
capabilities supporting the services of tomorrow. Providing increased bandwidth capabilities for network
devices at economically viable prices is one of the primary criteria for true carrier transport platforms.
The Cisco ASR 9000 Series can scale to unprecedented levels, providing the ideal foundation for a full
suite of next-generation services. Another crucial component for true network and service convergence
is the integration of service intelligence in network elements. The Cisco ASR 9000 Series is designed to
offer advanced subscriber management using silicon-based security services.
Hardware
The Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Routers provide unsurpassed speeds, up through 400 Gigabit
Ethernet, with scale and high density. The Cisco ASR 9000 and ASR 9900 Series Routers provide flexible
options for high density 1 Gigabit Ethernet, 10 Gigabit Ethernet, 25 Gigabit Ethernet, 40 Gigabit Ethernet, 100
Gigabit Ethernet and 400 Gigabit Ethernet ports without the need for a complete chassis replacement. These
line cards, offered in base and extended-scale configurations, are complemented by the nonblocking fabric (on
the RSP for the Cisco ASR 9006, ASR 9010, ASR 9906, ASR 9910 and ASR 9904 Routers and on separate
fabric cards for the Cisco ASR 9906, ASR 9910, ASR 9912 and ASR 9922 Routers), and by the innovative
backplane, thermal, and power infrastructure on the chassis.
The Cisco ASR 9000 Series has a modular power architecture available in both AC and DC. The power supplies
are housed in field-serviceable Power Entry Modules (PEMs), which also come in AC and DC forms. Each PEM
can hold up to three or four modules depending on its corresponding type, with no power zones or placement
restrictions (mixing of AC and DC supplies is not supported). Service providers can add more power as their
bandwidth and feature requirements increase over time, by adding more line cards to the chassis. This
capability translates to lower CapEx initially and optimal OpEx over the product life.

The Cisco ASR 9000 Series also features a fully integrated timing infrastructure, allowing the routers to take in
timing inputs (for example, SyncE, GPS, Building Integrated Timing Supply [BITS], and DOCSIS® Timing
Interface [DTI]) and distribute them over the backplane to each slot. This capability allows extensive support for
transparent mobile convergence, mobile Radio Access Network (RAN) backhaul, and Time-Division Multiplexing
(TDM) circuit emulation, without sacrificing performance or scale.
The optimized thermal infrastructure of the Cisco ASR 9000 Series is designed to be scalable to support future
capacity requirements. Variable-speed high-efficiency fans provide reduced power requirements under normal
operating environments while retaining the capability to cool current and future line cards under extreme
conditions.
