ASR1002X-36G-HA-K9 - Cisco ASR 1000 Aggregation Services Routers

ASR1002X-36G-HA-K9 Order Identity

ASR1002X-36G-HA-K9 is a physical Cisco ASR1002-X fixed-platform router bundle at the 36 Gbps software-licensed forwarding tier. It is not a standalone software license, generic ASR 1000 chassis page or guarantee of encrypted/application throughput.

Cisco's lifecycle record describes ASR1002X-36G-HA-K9 as “ASR1002-X, 36G, HA Bundle, K9, AES license.”

ASR1002-X hardware facts

Cisco documents an integrated embedded services processor licensed for 5, 10, 20 or 36 Gbps, three half-height SPA slots, a built-in six-port Gigabit Ethernet SPA and hardware-based encryption capability. Interface modules, optics, cords, software rights and support must still be checked line by line on the supplied quote.

high-availability bundle boundary

The HA code identifies a high-availability-oriented order. It does not prove that a single fixed ASR1002-X chassis contains redundant route processors or embedded services processors.

36G high-throughput HA migration record

The 36 Gbps tier is the highest software-licensed forwarding level documented for ASR1002-X and is appropriate only when the measured service mix justifies it.

Separate licensed forwarding capacity from real application performance, encrypted traffic and failure recovery. The migration record must identify the current successor platform because this PID is in Cisco's lifecycle notice.

Acceptance test

Test forwarding near the design threshold during a router or circuit failure and confirm that the surviving path remains within its accepted utilization limit.

Thirty-six-gigabit capacity decision

Use sampled traffic, packet-size distribution, route scale and enabled services to justify this licensed tier. Preserve baseline measurements for normal operation and for the degraded topology, because the remaining path may receive substantially more load during maintenance. Define a dated migration trigger based on utilization, support milestone and feature demand; do not wait for a fault to decide the successor platform. The procurement file should compare the cost of extending this lifecycle-stage router with a supported replacement and identify interfaces or policies that cannot be moved without redesign.
