ASR1002-HX= Overview
The Cisco ASR1002-HX is a high-performance member of the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers, engineered for enterprise and service provider edge networks that demand high scalability, integrated security, and superior reliability.
This platform combines routing, security, NAT, QoS, VPN, and application visibility into a single compact 2U chassis.
Powered by the Cisco QuantumFlow Processor (QFP 3.0) and running Cisco IOS XE Software, the ASR1002-HX delivers modular flexibility, programmability, and investment protection with throughput scalability from 20 Gbps up to 100 Gbps, activated via software licensing.
The ASR1002-HX is ideal for WAN aggregation, secure enterprise and data center edge, MPLS PE, and SD-WAN applications.
