Cisco Systems, Inc. ASR1001-X= firewall appliance

Chassis with dual power supplies

The Cisco ASR1001-X= is a rack-mount firewall appliance delivered as a complete chassis. It integrates six Gigabit Ethernet ports and two redundant power supplies for continuous operation. Eight gigabytes of DRAM are installed at the factory. The unit weighs 22.07 kilograms.

Enterprise edge deployments needing integrated ports

This appliance suits network teams that want a single-box edge router with onboard copper interfaces and power redundancy. It is not for buyers who need modular interface cards, higher-density SFP+ slots, or a separate route-processor architecture. Teams requiring deep packet inspection blades or carrier-grade NAT scale should evaluate other platforms.

Six built-in Gigabit Ethernet ports

The six fixed copper ports determine how many WAN or LAN links can terminate directly on the chassis without adding line cards. If the design calls for more than six physical Ethernet connections, an expansion shelf or a modular chassis becomes necessary.
