About the Cisco ASR 1000 ASR1000-RP1 ASR Cisco ASR 1000 / 5000 series router
The Cisco ASR1000-RP1 ASR Route Processor delivers carrier-grade high availability through Stateful Switchover (SSO), Non-Stop Forwarding (NSF), and In-Service Software Upgrade (ISSU)—enabling seamless failover and zero-downtime maintenance across your core network infrastructure. This field-replaceable module supports 1:1 route processor redundancy when a second RP1 is installed in a compatible chassis, ensuring continuous routing operations even during planned or unplanned outages. Network engineers and enterprise IT teams rely on this first-generation Route Processor for the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers to maintain mission-critical service delivery without interruption.
Purpose-built for large-scale IP and MPLS deployments, the Cisco ASR1000-RP1 ASR executes the IOS XE operating system with modular, fault-isolated process architecture that isolates failures at the software level. The control plane processes all routing protocols—BGP, OSPF, IS-IS, EIGRP, RIP, and MPLS Traffic Engineering—while managing the forwarding plane and supervisor functions. Support for MPLS L3 VPN, MPLS Traffic Engineering, Fast Reroute, IPsec, GRE, DMVPN, and L2TPv3 VPNs enables flexible service architectures, while dual-stack IPv4/IPv6, 6PE, and 6VPE support future-proof network evolution. Advanced quality-of-service capabilities including Modular QoS CLI, hierarchical QoS, DSCP marking, and traffic shaping and policing ensure predictable application performance across converged networks.
