Cisco ASR 1004 Router

The Cisco ASR 1004 Router in a 4-rack unit (RU) form factor supports up to 8 shared port adapters (SPAs) and comes with one route processor and one embedded services processor slot. This provides flexibility for future upgrades, enhancing control plane and data plane scalability.

High-performing edge solution for the private WAN
WAN aggregation or Internet gateway device
As a broadband Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP) access concentrator (LAC) or L2TP Network Server (LNS)

Running on Cisco IOS XE Software, the Cisco ASR 1004 router supports software redundancy and in-service software upgrades (ISSU) without redundant hardware.

Cisco ASR 1004 Router Features

The Cisco ASR 1000 Series Routers carry a modular yet integrated design, so network operators can increase their network capacity and services without a hardware upgrade. With flexibility in the number of connections, speed maximums, and price, you don’t have to under-provision or overprovision for any network location. Alternatively, you also have the option to buy an “-X” model, so you can increase throughput by simply purchasing upgrade licenses as you grow to increase your network speed dynamically.

Cisco ASR 1004 Router Technical Specifications

Feature	Specification
Redundant hardware components and power supplies	Provides system and business continuity. Redundant Route Processors and Embedded Services Processors in ASR 1006 and ASR 1013. Redundant instances of Cisco IOS XE Software in ASR 1001, ASR 1001-X, ASR 1002, ASR 1002-X, and ASR1004.
Stateful intrachassis redundancy	Redundant hardware combined with modular software contains faults preventing systemwide failure.
Stateful interchassis redundancy	Enables redundancy across routers by using a pair of routers to act as backup for each other. Provides 99.999% (“five-nines”) availability for consistent, high-performance user application experiences.
In-Service Software Upgrade (ISSU) support	No need to schedule downtime windows; changes are made while the system keeps on working, with nonstop routing availability.
Cisco IOS XE Software Subpackage Mode	Ability to upgrade individual software components with reduced upgrade time.
Cisco QuantumFlow Processor-based platform	Enables advanced services to operate at high speeds without the need for additional hardware or blades.
Hardware acceleration	Features like QoS, crypto, and access control lists (ACLs) are processed in hardware
Control and forwarding-plane separation	Ability to scale control plane and data plane independent of each other.
Software modularity	Allows you to mix and match the services that best meet your business needs; no “wasted” investments on capabilities you don’t need.
Pay-as-you-grow licensing with “-X” models	When you need greater throughput, you simply activate it with a change in software license, rather than having to expend capital for additional hardware.
Cisco Shared Port Adapters (SPAs)	Allow you to reuse your investment in network I/O across platforms.
Cisco Network Interface Modules (NIMs)	Allow you to reuse your investment in network I/O across platforms.
