The Cisco ASR 1000 Series Route Processor 3 (Cisco ASR1000-RP3) module runs the network operating system, BINOS kernel, and the IOSD (IOS daemon). The Cisco ASR1000-RP3 module is supported on the Cisco ASR 1013, Cisco ASR 1006-X, and Cisco ASR 1009-X routers.
The Cisco ASR1000-RP3 module supports:
The Cisco ASR1000-RP3 module supports:
- the running of the router control plane, including network control packets, and connection setup
- the synchronization of the active and standby Cisco ASR1000-RP3 and Cisco ASR 1000 Series ESP master and standby (tasks include switchover from failing master to standby)
- code storage, management, and upgrade
- On-board failure logging (OBFL) with 2 MB of memory
- the downloading of operational code for SPA interface processors (SIPs), modular interface processors (MIPs), and Cisco ASR 1000 Series ESP over Ethernet out of band channel (EOBC), which is used for communication between the control processors on the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Routers
- command line interface (CLI), alarm, network management, logging, and statistics aggregation
- punt path processing of packets not supported by the embedded services processors
- configuration repository along with a solid-state drive (SSD) for logging system statistics, records, events, errors, and dump
- the management interfaces of the platform including Dual Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter (DUART) that is used for the CON and AUX serial ports. The MGMT Ethernet (ENET) management ports, CLI, status indicators, BITS interface, reset switch, Audible Cutoff (ACO) button, USB ports for secure key distribution, and a mini-USB Console port to connect to a USB host (laptop)
- field-replaceable unit (FRU) with online insertion and removal (OIR)
- the chassis management including activation and initialization of the other cards, selection or switchover of active versus standby cards, image management and distribution, logging facilities, distribution of user configuration information, and alarm control
- the control signals for monitoring the health of power entry modules, shutting down the power and driving alarm relays located on the power entry modules
- redundancy
- Route Processor offers enhanced dependability with maximum productivity
- With 10/100/1000Base-T technology, get up to 1000Mbps data transfer rate over twisted pair cable
- Up to 10x faster than standard Ethernet connection and provides high-performance
- Twisted Pair media support ensures maximum convenience and great usability
