Cisco ASR 9901 Router
The Cisco ASR 9901 Router is a compact high-capacity provider edge (PE) router that delivers 456 Gbps of non-blocking, full-duplex fabric capacity in a two-rack-unit (2RU) form factor.
![]() Note |
The Cisco ASR 9901 Router supports Cisco IOS XR 64-bit releases only. |
The Cisco ASR 9901 Router has an integrated route processor (RP) and 42 fixed-configuration ports that support the following data rates:
-
24 ports that support 1 GbE (using SFP) or 10 GbE (using SFP+).
Note
1 GE copper transceivers are supported in dual-rate ports on Cisco ASR 9901 routers from Cisco IOS-XR Software Release 7.0.1 onwards. However, only 1 GE data rate is supported and 10 Mbps/100 Mbps data rates are not supported.
-
16 ports that support 1 GbE (using SFP).
Note
1GE copper SFPs operate only on 1000BASE-T rates; autonegotiation and speed configurations are not supported.
-
2 ports that support 100 GbE (using QSFP28).
Note
Configuring breakout on port 20 will shut down ports 10 and 11. Configuring breakout on port 21 will shut down ports 24 and 25. Use the no shutdown command to reenable these ports.
The base chassis has a GPS input for stratum-1 clocking, building integrated timing supply (BITS) ports, and management ports. The following figure shows the front panel of the Cisco ASR 9901 Router.

Cisco ASR 9001 Router
The Cisco ASR 9001 Router is a compact high-capacity provider edge (PE) router that delivers 120 Gbps of non-blocking, full-duplex fabric capacity in a two-rack-unit (2RU) form factor. Similar to other routers in the Cisco ASR 9000 Series, running Cisco IOS XR software images, the Cisco ASR 9001 Router delivers the features and services found on the ASR 9000 Series platforms, allowing customers to standardize on the same Cisco IOS XR image. The Cisco ASR 9001 Router has an integrated route processor (RP) and two modular bays that support 1 GE, 10 GE and 40 GE modular port adapters (MPAs). The base chassis has four integrated 10 GE enhanced small form-factor pluggable (SFP+) ports, a GPS input for stratum-1 clocking, building integrated timing supply (BITS) ports, and management ports. The following figure shows the front panel of the Cisco ASR 9001 Router.

Cisco ASR 9001-S Router
The Cisco ASR 9001-S Router is a 60 Gbps variant of the Cisco ASR 9001 Router. Similar to other routers in the Cisco ASR 9000 Series, running Cisco IOS XR software images, the Cisco ASR 9001-S Router delivers the features and services found on the ASR 9000 Series platforms, allowing customers to standardize on the same Cisco IOS XR image. The Cisco ASR 9001-S Router comes standard with one modular bay (BAY 0) that supports either a 1 GE, 10 GE, or 40 GE modular port adapters (MPAs). The chassis also comes usable with two fixed SFP+ ports (SFP+0 and SFP+1). The second MPA slot (BAY 1) and other two SFP+ ports (SFP+2 and SFP+3) are disabled and covered with dust caps by default. It supports the same set of features and scaling for each NPU as does the Cisco ASR 9001 Router. The following figure shows the front panel of the Cisco ASR 9001-S Router.

In order to achieve the full bandwidth of 120 Gbps and to enable the disabled ports, a Cisco license can be obtained. Once the license is obtained and installed, the Cisco ASR 9001-S Router must be reloaded to bring up the full 120 Gbps capacity. For information on configuring the Cisco license for Cisco ASR 9001-S Router, see the Cisco ASR 9001-S 120G Upgrade License Configuration Guide.
