Overview

The Cisco A9K-MEM-UPG-8G is an 8GB Memory Upgrade specifically designed for A9K-RSP5-TR and A99-RP3-TR Route Switch Processors in the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Routers. This upgrade delivers superior scale, service flexibility, and high availability, enabling support for demanding video, cloud, and mobile services with increased system capacity for features like Virtual Route Forwarding (VRF) interfaces, IPv4/IPv6 route scaling, Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) sessions, and Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) Nonstop Routing (NSR) instances.

Key Features and Benefits

Cisco ASR 9000 Series Overview

The Cisco ASR 9000 Series Route Switch Processor (RSP) is a scalable, low-power, next-generation Carrier Ethernet platform with a system architecture designed for service providers’ convergence requirements of Layer 2 Ethernet transport plus Layer 3 services. It offers one of the industry’s highest-capacity Carrier Ethernet platforms, optimized for aggregation of dense 10 Gigabit Ethernet and 100 Gigabit Ethernet connections. Additional benefits include distributed forwarding and control planes, modularized components isolating failures, hardware-based signaling for zero packet loss on switchover, and built-in redundancy in RSP, switch fabric, control-plane chassis control bus, and power supplies.

The series operates in a fully distributed fashion with packet-forwarding on individual line cards, flexible programming for HQoS, security, SyncE, BFD, and EOAM. Powered by Cisco IOS XR Software with true modularity, protected memory for processes, and distributed route processing. Applications include L2VPN, L3VPN, IPTV, CDNs, Mobile Backhaul, Ethernet Services, IPv4/IPv6, Multicast, IPoDWDM, MPLS OAM, ACLs, H-QoS, MPLS TE-FRR, MC-LAG, IRB, NSF, and NSR.
