About the Cisco ASR 1000 ASR1000-RP2- Cisco ASR 1000 / 5000 series router
QoS, traffic shaping, BGP/OSPF, and app-aware routing define the Cisco ASR 1000 ASR1000-RP2-, a second-generation route processor module engineered for high-availability carrier and enterprise networks. This field-replaceable unit slots into Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers, delivering modular IOS XE architecture with separated control, data, and management plane processes. Network engineers and IT infrastructure teams rely on the RP2 module to enable stateless failover, zero-packet loss forwarding, and continuous routing availability across distributed topologies.
The ASR1000-RP2- supports comprehensive routing protocol coverage—BGP, OSPF, IS-IS, EIGRP, RIP, MPLS, IPv4, and IPv6—via IOS XE feature sets, while high-availability mechanisms including Stateful Switchover (SSO), Non-Stop Forwarding (NSF), Non-Stop Routing (NSR), and Route Processor Redundancy (RPR) eliminate unplanned downtime. Dual RP2 redundancy is supported on ASR 1006 and ASR 1013 chassis for maximum resilience. In-Service Software Upgrade (ISSU) capability on applicable chassis configurations allows security patches and feature updates without service interruption. Management occurs via console port, auxiliary port, and Management Gigabit Ethernet port; Compact Flash and USB storage interfaces provision IOS XE images and configuration files. The module integrates directly into the ASR 1000 chassis backplane, powering from the platform's integrated power architecture.
Platform Compatibility & Deployment Scenarios
- Compatible with ASR 1001, ASR 1002, ASR 1002-X, ASR 1004, ASR 1006, and ASR 1013 chassis platforms
