QoS support, traffic shaping, policing, and queuing capabilities make the Cisco ASR 9000 A9KV-V2-DC-E a purpose-built carrier router for demanding service provider and enterprise data center environments. This compact modular chassis delivers the Cisco ASR 9000v Second-Generation Virtual Chassis Unit architecture with DC power input, running Cisco IOS XR operating system. The A9KV-V2-DC-E operates as part of a two-chassis logical node through nV Edge (Network Virtualization Edge) routing architecture, enabling seamless scaling and redundancy in central office and DC rack deployments. Enhanced forwarding capacity over the original ASR 9000v ensures that organizations can handle growing traffic volumes without platform limitations.
Network engineers and IT infrastructure teams select the Cisco ASR 9000 for its comprehensive high availability and virtualization capabilities. Non-Stop Routing (NSR), Non-Stop Forwarding (NSF), Stateful Switchover (SSO), and In-Service Software Upgrade (ISSU) eliminate unplanned downtime during maintenance and failover events. The platform supports multiple VPN technologies—MPLS L3VPN, MPLS L2VPN, VPLS, and Pseudowire (EoMPLS)—alongside Segment Routing (SR-MPLS and SR-TE) for modern traffic engineering. Layer 2 protocol support includes IEEE 802.1Q VLAN, IEEE 802.1ad QinQ, and Ethernet OAM standards, while Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) provides sub-second fault detection. Management flexibility via NETCONF/YANG, SNMP, CLI, and streaming telemetry integrates seamlessly into automated operational workflows.
The A9KV-V2-DC-E integrates fully within the Cisco ASR 9000 Series ecosystem, working alongside ASR 9000 route processors, fabric cards, and line cards to build highly scalable backbone and edge networks. Whether you are modernizing carrier-grade infrastructure or consolidating data center routing, the Cisco ASR 9000 delivers proven reliability and forward-looking protocol support.

The Cisco ASR 9000 A9KV-V2-DC-E Cisco ASR 9000 carrier router is enterprise networking hardware for data-center, campus, and branch deployments. Common roles include core/distribution switching, server uplinks, top-of-rack fabric, and edge connectivity in mixed Cisco/Juniper/Arista environments.
The Cisco ASR 9000 A9KV-V2-DC-E Cisco ASR 9000 carrier router interoperates with standard switching protocols (LACP, MLAG/VPC, 802.1Q, OSPF/BGP). For specific cross-vendor scenarios — Cisco-to-Arista MLAG peering, fabric integration with Cumulus/SONiC, or migration from legacy Catalyst — our network engineers map a compatibility plan as part of the RFQ.
