RE: Cisco ASR 1000 for Broadband Usage
With 32k users I would recommend at least the ESP40, or even the ESP100 if you are going to grow your customer base at all. The ESP20 is really a bit small for that number of users. -Original Message- From: NANOG [mailto:nanog-bounces+tony=wicks.co...@nanog.org] On Behalf Of Shahab Vahabzadeh Sent: Sunday, 17 August 2014 1:13 a.m. To: nanog Subject: Cisco ASR 1000 for Broadband Usage Dear Friends, We have near 32K User with ISG support, any body has Idea for the partnumber of device? I decided to but Cisco ASR 1006 with two DC Power and two RP2 and two ESP-20G. Thanks --
Re: Cisco ASR router performance specs
Here's what I always refer too http://www.cisco.com/web/partners/downloads/765/tools/quickreference/routerperformance.pdf It's close. I don't think the testing incorporates a lot of services in use on the routers, however. For max interfaces, read up on this: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/iosswrel/ps1835/products_tech_note09186a0080094322.shtml I can tell you we have a couple ASR's pushing around 100Mbps running VRF, BGP, bunch of ACL's and prefix lists and they are pretty much idle. Traffic pattern is mostly SIP and RTP traffic (lots of small packets) On Tue, Jun 26, 2012 at 9:14 AM, Andrey Khomyakov khomyakov.and...@gmail.com wrote: Hi all, Could you point me into the right direction, please, on where one would find different performance ratings for Cisco routers other than talking to my SE (who is on PTO right now). My understanding is that Cisco does not publish this info. How do folks research that kind of stuff?

Re: Cisco ASR BGP within the box question
I sure hope you have better luck than I did. http://www.mail-archive.com/cisco-...@puck.nether.net/msg20125.html steven.glog...@swisscom.com wrote: hi all just a short question (related to a quite new feature from cisco). with the new cisco ASR software (15.0(1)S - released some days ago) it is able to do BGP on the same box. we need this feature because we use the VASI interfaces to bring and filter traffic from one VRF to another VRF and performing firewalling (ZBF). basically we have on the box: [VRF_A via vasileft1]--[VRF_B via vasiright1] and the box itself speaks BGP on VRF_B with some RR's: [ASRBox] (RR) [anotherbox] the fun part is, if you want to announce (e.g. 0.0.0.0/0) from VRF_B (announced from anotherbox) to VRF_A it should be possible now with that new feature. according to BGP I need to configure the VRF_A peer as route-reflector-client so the routes from the anotherbox get reflected via RR to VRF_B. but, it seems that the router itself needs to be tricked, since he thinks that both peers are in the same route-reflector cluster (DENIED due to: reflected from the same cluster): Aug 2 13:35:03: BGP(0): 213.3.246.33 send UPDATE (format) 0.0.0.0/0, next 10.62.112.65, metric 0, path 44038 3303, extended community RT:65501:1702 Aug 2 13:35:03: BGP(0): 213.3.246.34 rcv UPDATE w/ attr: nexthop 10.62.112.65, origin i, localpref 250, metric 0, originator 10.62.112.65, clusterlist 10.62.112.79 10.62.112.17, merged path 44038 3303, AS_PATH , community Aug 2 13:35:03: BGP(0): 213.3.246.34 rcv UPDATE about 0.0.0.0/0 -- DENIED due to: reflected from the same cluster; Aug 2 13:35:03: BGP: 213.3.246.34 Modifying prefix 0.0.0.0/0 from 0 - 4 address so, this is my config: config: snip interface vasileft1 ip vrf forwarding VRF_A ip address 10.0.0.1 255.255.255.252 zone-member security VASILEFT ! interface vasiright1 ip vrf forwarding VRF_B ip address 10.0.0.2 255.255.255.252 zone-member security VASIRIGHT ! router bgp 65501 address-family ipv4 vrf IABIP- bgp router-id 10.0.0.1 redistribute connected redistribute static neighbor 10.0.0.2 remote-as 65501 neighbor 10.0.0.2 update-source vasileft1 neighbor 10.0.0.2 activate neighbor 10.0.0.2 send-community both neighbor 10.0.0.2 next-hop-self exit-address-family ! address-family ipv4 vrf IACYP- import path selection multipaths bgp router-id 10.0.0.2 redistribute connected redistribute static route-map SET-PREFIX-SoO neighbor 10.0.0.1 remote-as 65501 neighbor 10.0.0.1 update-source vasiright1 neighbor 10.0.0.1 activate neighbor 10.0.0.1 send-community both neighbor 10.0.0.1 next-hop-self exit-address-family /snip what does not works: - having another AS number on the same box (otherwise eBGP would be possible) - client-to-client reflection - magic stuff in route-map - setting different cluster-id's for different address-families - nothing found in the release notes: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/ios_xe/3/release/notes/asr1k_rn_3s_rel_notes.html so, does anyone knows a nice hidden command to disable this cluster-checking on a per-peer basis or so? -steven

Re: Cisco ASR
Re guys, just to enforce the statement that the ASR is not really in the Kindergarten anymore: rt uptime is 22 weeks, 1 day, 17 hours, 33 minutes Uptime for this control processor is 22 weeks, 1 day, 17 hours, 34 minutes System returned to ROM by reload at 11:00:33 CET Mon Dec 21 2009 System restarted at 16:16:32 CET Mon Dec 21 2009 System image file is bootflash:asr1000rp1-advipservicesk9.02.04.02.122-33.XND2.bin [...] cisco ASR1002 (2RU) processor with 1759125K/6147K bytes of memory. 4 Gigabit Ethernet interfaces 32768K bytes of non-volatile configuration memory. 4194304K bytes of physical memory. 7798783K bytes of eUSB flash at bootflash:. Configuration register is 0x2102 -- Unfortunately, it is also correct that the box crashes with soft-reconfig enabled (it's my bug, actually). Cisco told me they could not reproduce it in the lab, so there's no fix yet. With soft-reconfig disabled, the system works and is stable and fast. CPU is almost zero (2%), with 150 v4 and 40 v6 BGP sessions active. Just to mention it - I'd have preferred an NPE-G2 with some hardware forwarding board. That system simply rocks. But well, I guess this is evolution... Elmar.
Re: Cisco ASR
Sherwin, Let's move this specific crash/code question over to cisco-...@puck.nether.net. Try the 12.2(33)XNF1 release. If you would like to try and find the matching bug for what you are seeing before you upgrade email me offline with the crashinfo file and the full logs and I'll get someone to take a look at it with you.

Re: Cisco ASR
I've been running two asr1002's in production now on XND2 and so far (he knocks on wood) they've been stable. Very simple config on my end, OSPF, BGP with full routes, all interfaces are fixed, IOW, no add on SPAs. I can push well over 100k PPS on each interface and the boxes are asleep. My NPE-Gx's would fall over at that rate. All in all, I've been pleased with them. Now, if I could just jail break the ASR;s and load JUNOS ;) -b On Wed, May 26, 2010 at 4:32 AM, Rodney Dunn rod...@cisco.com wrote: Sherwin, Let's move this specific crash/code question over to cisco-...@puck.nether.net.
