Chapter 2 Cisco ASR 1000 Series Routers Components
Cisco ASR 1000 Series Embedded Services Processors
The Cisco ASR 1000 Series routers support the following Cisco ASR 1000 Series Embedded Services
Processors:
• Cisco ASR1000-ESP5
Note The Cisco ASR1000-ESP5 does not support redundant configurations.
• Cisco ASR1000-ESP10
• Cisco ASR1000-ESP10-N—The Cisco ASR1000 Embedded Services Processor 10G Non Crypto
Capable board provides an ASR1000 solution for customers who are under export restrictions and
not qualified to implement products that support strong encryption services. The Cisco ASR1000
Embedded Services Processor 10G Non Crypto Capable feature support is the same as the Cisco
ASR100-ESP10 except that SSH, SSL and IPSec VPN services are not supported. For detailed
information about this feature, refer to the
Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers
Software Configuration Guide and the Cisco ASR 1000 Embedded Services Processor 10G Non
Crypto Capable Feature Guide.
• Cisco ASR1000-ESP20
Note Upgrading from a Cisco ESP to another Cisco ESP can be performed on redundant ESP systems only
(Cisco ASR1006 and Cisco ASR1004 routers). The Cisco ASR1002 router supports only one Cisco
ASR1000-ESP5 or ASR1000-ESP10. The Cisco ASR1006 and Cisco ASR1004 routers do not support
the Cisco ASR1000-ESP5. Therefore, when performing upgrades, the Cisco ASR1000-ESP10,
Cisco ASR1000-ESP20, and any future ESPs can be upgraded.
Note Do not have different embedded services processors operating in the same chassis. The only time this
condition occurs is when you are performing an upgrade.
IThe Cisco ASR 1000 Series Embedded Services Processors consist of three main elements:
• Cisco QuantumFlow Processor for packet processing and queueing and scheduling
• Data plane interconnect
• Forwarding Engine Control Processor (FECP) (located on the Cisco ASR Series Embedded Services
Processor)
All initial Cisco ASR 1000 Series Embedded Services Processors are based on a common
highly-programmable network Cisco QuantumFlow Processor (packet processing).
