ASR1001-X Cisco ASR1001-X Router, 6 Built-in GE, Dual Power Supply, 8GB DRAM
Compact, High-Performance Aggregation Router with Embedded Services
The Cisco ASR 1001-X Aggregation Services Router (ASR1001-X) is a compact yet powerful 1RU enterprise-class router designed for WAN edge, aggregation, and managed service provider deployments. Built on the proven Cisco ASR 1000 Series architecture, the ASR 1001-X delivers high-performance routing, advanced security, and service scalability in a space-efficient form factor.
With system bandwidth up to 20 Gbps (license dependent) and hardware-based forwarding, the ASR 1001-X provides consistent, low-latency performance for high-throughput enterprise and service-provider networks. It features six integrated Gigabit Ethernet ports (RJ-45 or SFP), along with dedicated management, console, auxiliary, and USB interfaces, enabling flexible connectivity and simplified operations.
Running Cisco IOS XE, the ASR 1001-X supports a comprehensive set of routing and WAN services, including BGP, OSPF, EIGRP, IS-IS, MPLS, and advanced traffic engineering. Integrated security capabilities such as Zone-Based Firewall, IPsec and SSL VPN, Cisco TrustSec, and Application Visibility and Control (AVC) help secure network edges while maintaining visibility into application traffic.
Designed for high availability, the router supports dual hot-swappable AC or DC power supplies, front-to-back airflow, and resilient hardware-based forwarding. Advanced services such as Performance Routing (PfR), NetFlow, and embedded packet capture enhance traffic optimization and troubleshooting. The ASR 1001-X also integrates seamlessly with Cisco SD-WAN, Cisco Umbrella, and Cisco DNA Center, enabling modern, policy-driven WAN architectures.
With its balance of performance, security, and scalability, the Cisco ASR 1001-X is an ideal solution for organizations seeking a reliable, high-capacity WAN edge router with enterprise-grade features and long-term investment protection.
