About the Cisco ASR 1000 ASR1001 Cisco ASR 1000 / 5000 series router
The Cisco ASR 1000 ASR1001 is a compact 1U rack-mountable router engineered to deliver up to 2.5 Gbps system throughput for mid-market and enterprise branch deployments. Built on Cisco IOS XE operating system and powered by the Cisco QuantumFlow Processor (QFP) forwarding ASIC, the ASR1001 combines high-performance routing with integrated security services, making it an ideal choice for network engineers and IT procurement teams seeking reliable WAN edge solutions.
The ASR1001 features an integrated RP1 Route Processor paired with an ESP5 Embedded Services Processor, enabling hardware-accelerated IPsec VPN throughput up to 1 Gbps without compromising core routing performance. Connectivity options include 3 built-in Gigabit Ethernet WAN interfaces, 1 dedicated 10/100/1000 Ethernet management port, and 1 half-height SPA expansion slot for service module growth. The router supports full dual-stack IPv4/IPv6 hardware forwarding and a comprehensive suite of routing protocols including BGP, OSPF, OSPFv3, EIGRP, IS-IS, RIP, LISP, and static routing. Redundancy is built-in through software HA with NSF/SSO, Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD), and optional dual internal AC power supply slots (100–240 V AC, 50/60 Hz). Console and auxiliary RJ-45 ports plus one USB 1.1 port support remote management and troubleshooting.
