Cisco ASR1006-X Modular Aggregation Services Router – 6-Slot Chassis

A modular chassis with two interface-card positions

ASR1006-X is the Cisco ASR 1006-X chassis order. Cisco lists support for two SIPs or Ethernet line cards, together with two route-processor slots and two ESP slots. These describe the chassis architecture; the bare order does not identify the actual installed processors or interface cards.

Treat SPA and EPA counts as configuration-dependent

The datasheet lists eight SPA slots or four EPA slots for supported carrier configurations. Choose the appropriate SIP or MIP and compatible adapters for the intended design. Do not add both numbers together as if every adapter were included or every carrier arrangement could be populated simultaneously.

Check the specific SD-WAN headend restrictions

The published ASR1006-X SD-WAN headend configuration specifies one RP3 and one ESP200-X. In that mode the datasheet explicitly excludes RP/ESP intra-chassis redundancy, ISSU and online insertion/removal. A physical second processor slot therefore does not establish redundant operation for that deployment mode; confirm the exact software and module support before planning maintenance.

Build the quotation around the required assembly

List the processor, forwarding card, interface carriers, adapters, power supplies and fan arrangement needed for the actual system. Confirm software licensing and support eligibility separately. A chassis photograph or a maximum platform throughput figure is not an inventory of the components supplied.
