Cisco ASR1000-RP2 ASR 1000 Route Processor 2 8GB DRAM Module – 5 Star Certified Refurb

Condition: 5 Star Certified Refurbished. Hardware Honcho's highest refurbishment tier — professionally inspected, tested, and restored to like-new condition. Cosmetically excellent with no significant wear. Fully functional and ready to deploy.

Product Overview

The Cisco ASR1000-RP2 is the second-generation Route Processor module for the Cisco ASR 1000 Series modular Aggregation Services Routers — the control plane and management processor at the heart of the ASR1004, ASR1006, ASR1006-X, ASR1009-X, and ASR1013 chassis systems. Featuring 8GB default DRAM (upgradeable to 16GB), an 80GB internal hard disk, multicore processor architecture, hardware-accelerated encryption, and Stratum-3 clock circuitry with BITS input and output, the ASR1000-RP2 delivers significantly enhanced processing power, memory capacity, and performance compared to the first-generation RP1 — enabling service providers and large enterprise operators to run advanced IOS XE features including MPLS, broadband aggregation, stateful firewall, SBC, and IPSec at scale.

Supporting 1:1 route processor redundancy with Stateful Switchover (SSO) and Nonstop Forwarding (NSF), the ASR1000-RP2 provides carrier-grade high availability in dual-RP chassis configurations. Running Cisco IOS XE, the RP2 manages routing table construction, forwarding information distribution to the Embedded Services Processor (ESP), IPSec key negotiation, stateful firewall policy distribution, and SBC session management — all while the ESP handles hardware-accelerated packet forwarding.

Important Notes

• This is a route processor module only — not a standalone router. Requires a compatible Cisco ASR 1000 Series modular chassis (ASR1004, ASR1006, ASR1006-X, ASR1009-X, or ASR1013) for operation.
• Not compatible with fixed ASR 1000 chassis — ASR1001, ASR1001-X, ASR1002, ASR1002-X have built-in route processors and do not accept the ASR1000-RP2 module.
• Default DRAM is 8GB — for broadband aggregation deployments requiring the FLASR1-BB-RTU license, 16GB DRAM (M-ASR1K-RP2-16GB) is required and sold separately.
• ASR1000-RP2 vs ASR1000-RP1: The RP2 offers more DRAM (8GB default vs limited RP1), 80GB hard disk, multicore CPU, and Stratum-3 BITS clock — a significant upgrade for advanced IOS XE feature deployments.
• ASR1000-RP2 vs ASR1000-RP3: The RP3 supports up to 64GB DRAM vs 16GB on RP2 — choose RP3 for the most demanding scale deployments or newest IOS XE features.
