Overview

The Cisco A9K-9912-FAN is the official ASR 9912 Fan Tray designed specifically for the Cisco ASR 9912 Router chassis. It plays a critical role in maintaining optimal operating temperatures, ensuring reliable performance in high-density aggregation services for wireline, data center interconnect (DCI), and Radio Access Network (RAN) applications.

Chassis and System Architecture Overview

The Cisco ASR 9912 Router chassis leverages advanced system architecture, including the Cisco ASR 9900 Route Processor, which is the first generation of system processors available for the ASR 9912 and ASR 9922 Routers. This architecture accommodates convergence of Layer 2 and Layer 3 services required by service providers. The fan tray supports the robust carrier-class capabilities of Cisco IOS XR Software, featuring true software process modularity where each process runs in separate protected memory, including each routing protocol along with multiple instances of control, data, and management planes. The software also supports distributed route processing.

The system is designed to deliver high scalability, performance, and fast convergence for demanding video, cloud, and mobile services, providing unprecedented scale, service flexibility, and high availability.

Switch Fabric and Performance Features

Route Processor Integration

The Cisco ASR 9900 Route Processor is available in service-edge-optimized (ASR-9900-RP-SE) and packet-transport-optimized (ASR-9900-RP-TR) models. The service-edge-optimized version offers higher memory for large-scale service deployment. Both support service-optimized and transport-optimized line cards, with mixing allowed on the same chassis for maximum flexibility. The fan tray ensures thermal stability for these components during intensive operations.

Key Features and Benefits

Software and Service Support

Cisco IOS XR Software powers the Cisco ASR 9000 Series, including SMU capability for bug fixing without service interruption, and FPD upgrades for FPGAs, ROMmon, etc., while systems are running. Supported applications include Ethernet Services, L2VPN, L3VPN, IPTV, CDNs, mobile backhaul, IPoDWDM, SyncE, EOAM, MPLS OAM, ACLs, H-QoS, MPLS TE-FRR, MC-LAG, IRB, NSF, NSR, P2MP-TE, Lawful Intercept, SCH, MGSCP. Multiservice Edge (MSE) and Ethernet MSE (E-MSE) capabilities enable powerful business VPN services with SLA enforcement, supporting scale in VRFs, IPv4/IPv6 routes, BFD, BGP NSR.

Timing synchronization includes PTPv2, GPS, DTI, BITS on route processor, SyncE on line cards, with centralized clocking distribution.

System Reliability and Redundancy

The ASR 9912 chassis features no single point of failure, route processor redundancy (same kind required), software redundancy. The fan tray contributes to high availability by ensuring consistent cooling under load.
