Note
Throughout this document, the term slot refers to the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Router chassis slot. The Cisco ASR 1000 Series Route Processor, Cisco ASR 1000 Series Embedded Services Processor, and Cisco ASR 1000 Series SPA Interface Processor (SIP), and power supplies plug into these slots. Shared port adapters plug into SIP bays.

Cisco ASR 1000 Series SPA Interface Processor

This section describes the Cisco SPA interface processors for the Cisco ASR 1006, Cisco ASR 1004, Cisco ASR 1002, and Cisco ASR 1013 routers. The Cisco ASR 1000 Series Routers support the following Cisco ASR 1000-SIPs:

  • Cisco ASR 1000-SIP10—This SIP supports:

    • 4 half height (¼ Rate or full rate or combination) SPAs with up to 16 ports per SPA

    • 2 full height (¼ Rate or full rate or combination) SPAs with up to 32 ports per SPA

    • 2 half height and 1 full height comb in at on that does not exceed 64 ports

    • Up to 10 Gbps of oversubscription

  • Cisco ASR 1000-SIP40—This SIP supports:

    • 4 half height (¼ Rate or full rate or combination) SPAs with up to 24 ports per SPA

    • 2 full height (¼ Rate or full rate or combination) SPAs with up to 48 ports per SPA

    • 2 half height and 1 full height combination that does not exceed 96 ports

    • Up to 40 Gbps aggregate bandwidth from the four SPA bays

    • ESI bandwidth of 11 to 46 Gbps

    • Ingress buffering at 128 MB and egress buffering at 6MB

For information about what hardware is supported and compatible and not compatible with the new ASR 1000 40G components and Cisco ASR 1013 Router, see Table 2-4 and Table 2-3 .

The Cisco SPAs provide the physical interfaces for router connectivity ranging from copper, channelized, POS, ATM and Ethernet. The Cisco ASR 1000 Series SIP provides the physical termination for the SPAs and accepts up to four half-height and 2 full height Cisco SPAs.

The is a list of characteristics of the Cisco ASR 1000 Series SPA Interface Processors for the Cisco ASR 1006, Cisco ASR 1004, and Cisco ASR 1013 routers:

  • A SIP is a carrier card that inserts into a router slot like a line card. It provides no network connectivity on its own.

  • A SIP contains one or more subslots, which are used to house one or more SPAs. The SPA provides interface ports for network connectivity.

  • During normal operation, the SIP should reside in the router fully populated either with functional SPAs in all subslots, or with a blank filler plate (SPA-BLANK=) inserted in all empty subslots.

  • SIPs support online insertion and removal (OIR) with SPAs inserted in their subslots. SPAs also support OIR and can be inserted or removed independently from the SIP.


Note
Fully populate all slots and subslots with blank filler plates or functional SPAs for maximum efficiency of the cooling system.

This section describes the Cisco ASR 1000 Series SPA Interface (SIP) components and subslot identification.Figure 4-1 shows an example of the Cisco ASR 1000 Series SPA Interface (SIP) module.

The Cisco ASR1002-SIP10 supports a built-in 4xGE SPA and three half-height SPAs (one half-height and one full-height SPA). The Cisco ASR1002-SIP10 also functions as the base board for the Cisco embedded ASR1000-RP1. The Cisco 1002 Router has one slot for FP0 with three subslots for SPAs, subslots 1 - 3.

SPA Interface Processor Slot Numbering

A shared port adapter is a modular type of port adapter that inserts into a subslot of a compatible SIP to provide network connectivity and increased interface port density. The Cisco ASR 1000 Series SPA Interface Processor (SIP) provides an aggregation function for SPAs.

Cisco ASR 1006 Router and Cisco ASR 1004 Router

In the Cisco ASR 1006 Router and Cisco ASR 1004 Router, the SIP supports:

  • Four half-height (¼ rate or full rate or combination)

  • Two full-height (¼ rate or full rate or combination) SPAs with up to 32 ports per SPA

  • Two half-height and 1 full-height combination that does not exceed 64 ports

The slot numbering for the SPAs in the Cisco ASR 1004 Router is the same as in the Cisco ASR 1006 Router.

Figure 4-3 shows the slot numbering for the shared port adapters on the Cisco ASR 1000 Series SPA Interface for the Cisco ASR 1006 Router and Cisco ASR 1004 Router.

Figure 2. Cisco ASR 1004 Router and Cisco ASR 1006 Router SPA Interface Subslot Numbering

Note
The slot numbering for the SPAs on the Cisco ASR 1004 Router is the same as the numbering on the Cisco ASR 1006 Router.

Cisco ASR 1002 Router

In the Cisco ASR 1002 Router, the Cisco ASR1002-SIP10 supports:

  • Three removable half-height SPAs on Bay 1, 2, and 3

  • The fourth SPA is a built-in 4xGE SPA on Bay 0 located on the Cisco ASR 1000 Series RP1


Note
The shared port adapters on the Cisco ASR1002-SIP10 support online insertion and removal. However, the Cisco ASR1002-SIP10 in the Cisco ASR 1002 Router is built into the chassis and is not a field-replaceable unit and does not support online insertion and removal.Cisco ASR1002-SIP10 Interface Subslot Numbering shows the slot numbering for the shared port adapters on the Cisco ASR 1000 Series SPA Interface for the Cisco ASR 1002 Router.

The Cisco integrated ASR1000-SIP10 (in the Cisco ASR 1002 Router) supports one built-in 4xGE SPA and three half height SPAs in any one of the following configurations:

  • Built-in 4xGE SPA in bay 0 and three half height SPAs in bay 1, 2, 3.

  • Built-in 4xGE SPA in bay 0, one half height SPA in bay 2, and one full height SPA in bay 1.

The Cisco ASR 1000 Series SPA interface processor houses SPA bay 2 and SPA bay 3. SPA bay 0 and SPA bay 1 are physically located on Cisco integrated ASR1000-RP1. A portion of the Cisco integrated ASR1000-RP1 is reserved to provide connectivity between SPA bay 1 and the Cisco integrated ASR1000-SIP10.


Note
The integrated Cisco ASR1000-RP1 subslot 1 must communicate to subslot 3 of the integrated SIP when running a full height SPA in subslot 1.

Cisco ASR 1002-F Router

In the Cisco ASR 1002-F Router, the Cisco ASR1002-SIP10-F supports:

  • Three removable half-height SPAs in Bays 1, 2, and 3

  • The fourth SPA is a built-in 4xGE SPA on Bay 0 located on the Cisco ASR 1000 Series RP1


Note
The shared port adapter on the Cisco ASR1002-SIP10-F supports online insertion and removal. However, the Cisco ASR1002-SIP10-F in the Cisco ASR 1002-F Router is built into the chassis and is not a field-replaceable unit.

Cisco ASR 1013 Router

In the Cisco ASR 1013 Router, the Cisco ASR1000-SIP40 supports:

  • Four half-height (¼ Rate or full rate or combination) SPAs with up to 24 ports per SPA

  • Two full-height (¼ Rate or full rate or combination) SPAs with up to 48 ports per SPA

  • Two half-height and 1 full-height combination that does not exceed 96 ports

The Cisco ASR 1013 Router uses the same SPA subslot numbering as the Cisco ASR 1006 and Cisco ASR 1004 routers.

With ESP100 and ESP200, the MIP operates at 100 Gbps in slot 2 and slot 3. The MIP operates at 40 Gbps in slots 0, 1, 4, or 5.

The following figure shows the slot numbering for the shared port adapters on the Cisco ASR 1013 Router.
