  • TypeRoute Processor
  • Carrier-grade IP and MPLS route processing for Cisco ASR 1000 Series routers
  • Dual RJ-45 ports provide Gigabit LAN and dedicated management connectivity
  • USB interface adds flexible peripheral or storage options
  • Twisted-pair media support simplifies cabling in wide-area network deployments
  • Purpose-built route processor ensures reliable control-plane performance in aggregation services environments

Route Processor 2 for ASR 1000 Series

The Cisco ASR1000-RP2 is a Route Processor 2 built for Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers. It handles the route-processing demands of carrier-grade IP and MPLS packet infrastructures. Network operators managing wide-area networks use this module to keep control-plane performance stable under heavy routing tables.

Upgrade from Route Processor 1

This module replaces the original Route Processor 1 in compatible ASR 1000 chassis. The jump is worth it when the control plane needs more CPU headroom for larger routing tables or additional MPLS labels. Installations staying on smaller tables or lighter label stacks may not see a measurable difference.

Gigabit Ethernet management interface

The unit provides one RJ-45 10/100/1000Base-T LAN port, one RJ-45 management port and one USB port over twisted-pair media. Throughput on these interfaces tops out at Gigabit Ethernet speeds. Environments that require 10 Gigabit or faster management connectivity cannot use this processor for that link.

Questions about this item

What chassis slots does the ASR1000-RP2 Route Processor 2 fit into?

It is designed for the route-processor slot of any Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Router.

How is the ASR1000-RP2 installed, and which step is often missed?

Slide the module into the RP slot until the ejector levers engage, then tighten both captive screws; the step often missed is securing both screws to ensure proper electrical contact.

Which components of the ASR1000-RP2 may need replacement during its service life?

The two RJ-45 ports (10/100/1000Base-T LAN and management) and the USB port are the field-replaceable interfaces; the route-processor board itself is replaced as a complete unit.
