About the Cisco ASR 9000 ASR-9000V-DC-A Cisco ASR 9000 carrier router
The Cisco ASR 9000 ASR-9000V-DC-A is managed through on-box CLI with support for centralised controller integration via Cisco NSO, NETCONF/YANG, and gRPC telemetry—no licence keys required for core routing functionality. This fixed-configuration compact chassis carrier router runs Cisco IOS XR and delivers enterprise-grade reliability for service providers and large network operators seeking carrier-class performance in a space-efficient form factor.
Built on the proven Cisco ASR 9000 platform, the ASR-9000V-DC-A accepts DC power input (A-feed variant) and is fully rack-mountable for seamless integration into existing infrastructure. Network engineers will appreciate its comprehensive routing protocol support—BGP, OSPF, IS-IS, MPLS, and Segment Routing (SR-MPLS)—combined with advanced VPN capabilities including MPLS L3VPN, VPLS, L2VPN, and EVPN. The platform delivers mission-critical uptime through Non-Stop Routing (NSR), Non-Stop Forwarding (NSF), and In-Service Software Upgrade (ISSU). Quality of Service is managed via hierarchical QoS, class-based queuing, and traffic shaping, while multicast is supported through PIM-SM, PIM-SSM, MLDP, and mVPN. Dual-stack IPv4/IPv6 support ensures future-proof network architecture, with 6PE and 6VPE capabilities. Ethernet OAM compliance with IEEE 802.3ah, IEEE 802.1ag, and ITU-T Y.1731 guarantees operational visibility. The ASR-9000V-DC-A meets NEBS Level 3 platform compliance, GR-63-CORE, and GR-1089-CORE standards for telecom-grade resilience.
