Cisco ASR1000 Route Processor 3

The Cisco ASR1000 Route Processor 3 is a firewall and network security device built for enterprise routing platforms. It delivers control-plane performance for high-throughput environments. Network engineers and security teams deploy it to manage advanced services at scale.

Practical limits of the interface

The processor supports up to 2 Gbps of encrypted throughput and 1000 Gbps of total system capacity. These figures define the maximum secure traffic the appliance can inspect without degradation. Exceeding these limits requires additional hardware or a different platform tier.

What to check before ordering

Verify that your chassis has an available route-processor slot compatible with the ASR1000 series. Confirm the installed IOS XE release supports the 2025 hardware revision. Ensure power and cooling budgets cover the module's requirements.

Questions about this item

Which Route Processor 3 variant fits my ASR1000 chassis?

The ASR1000 Route Processor 3 is a single model; confirm the slot type and software release on your chassis before ordering.

What does the 2 Gbps throughput figure mean in daily traffic?

It indicates the maximum stateful inspection rate the processor can sustain under typical mixed workloads.

How does the 1000 Mbps management interface limit remote access?

The dedicated management port caps out-of-band traffic at 1000 Mbps, so bulk transfers use the data-plane interfaces instead.
