Frequently Asked Questions
Which institutions require aggregation routers with 44–100 Gbps performance?
Large enterprise networks, service providers, and data centers with multiple branch connections or high-volume inter-office traffic benefit from the ASR 1002-HX. Its pay-as-you-grow model scales from startup to peak capacity.
What is pay-as-you-grow licensing and how does it affect institutional costs?
Licensing modules unlock progressively higher performance tiers—institutions purchase only the throughput they need, scaling up as bandwidth demands grow without replacing the entire router.
How does optional crypto module support enhance security for institutional networks?
Up to 25 Gbps of integrated encryption allows institutions to protect massive branch traffic and inter-site VPNs without external security appliances. This simplifies architecture and reduces cost.
What kind of network interfaces can be added via flexible I/O slots?
Expansion slots accommodate various high-speed interfaces—Gigabit Ethernet, 10 Gigabit, fiber, and specialized modules. This flexibility lets institutions customize connectivity for their specific branch and backbone topology.
How do dual AC/DC power supplies ensure carrier-grade reliability?
Redundant power sources protect against single-point failure—if AC fails, DC backup maintains operation. This is essential for institutions where unplanned downtime impacts revenue or critical services.
Is the ASR 1002-HX suitable for multi-site institutional deployments?
Yes, the high throughput and encryption capabilities make it ideal for aggregating traffic from many branches. It serves as a backbone router for large enterprises, governments, and service providers.
