ASR1013 - ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Router

A chassis order with six interface-card positions

ASR1013 is the Cisco ASR 1013 chassis ordering line, described by Cisco with redundant power supplies. The hardware table lists six SIP or Ethernet line-card positions. This is a modular assembly: the chassis identity alone does not specify the installed processors, carriers, adapters or transceivers.

Plan the adapter population from the carrier selection

The ASR1013 column lists capacity for 24 SPA slots or 12 EPA slots. These capacities depend on compatible carrier arrangements and must not be added together as a supplied interface inventory. Cisco identifies ASR1000-SIP40 and ASR1000-MIP100 among the supported carriers; match adapters and software to the actual assembly before ordering.

Redundant power has an AC or DC boundary

Cisco lists four power supplies arranged as redundant pairs by default, with AC or DC options. Mixing AC and DC supplies is not supported. Verify the exact power units, input type and redundancy arrangement in the quotation rather than assuming a chassis designation determines the delivered supply set.

Separate processor slots from forwarding performance

Two route-processor slots and two ESP slots are available. The datasheet lists an ESP bandwidth range of 40 to 200 Gbps for supported forwarding modules; it is not an unconditional throughput promise for an unpopulated chassis. Verify the installed ESP, software, licenses and required traffic features. The 22.8-inch chassis height and protruding handles also require appropriate rack and service clearance.
