About the Cisco ASR 9000 ASR-9006-AC Cisco ASR 9000 carrier router
The Cisco ASR 9006-AC supports active-passive and active-active redundancy architectures through Stateful Switchover (SSO) and Non-Stop Routing (NSR), enabling sub-second failover and continuous packet forwarding during control-plane events. This 6-slot modular chassis router is engineered for service providers and enterprise network engineers who demand carrier-grade reliability and non-disruptive operations at scale.
The ASR-9006-AC runs Cisco IOS XR, delivering comprehensive routing protocol support including BGP, OSPF, IS-IS, RIP, EIGRP, and static routing alongside advanced MPLS capabilities such as MPLS-TE, L2VPN, L3VPN, VPLS, Segment Routing (SR-MPLS), and SRv6. Built for high-availability environments, this platform features dual RSP slots for 1:1 redundancy, redundant AC power supply support, Non-Stop Forwarding (NSF), and In-Service Software Upgrade (ISSU) to ensure zero-downtime maintenance. The ASR 9000 series integrates Hierarchical QoS with traffic shaping, policing, WRED, and advanced scheduling, while multicast support spans PIM-SM, PIM-SSM, IGMP, MLD, and mVPN. Network operations teams benefit from model-driven telemetry, NETCONF, YANG, and gRPC programmability alongside OAM capabilities including Y.1731, IEEE 802.3ah, BFD, and TWAMP. The platform operates reliably across 0°C to 40°C and meets NEBS Level 3 and ETSI compliance standards.
