Can anybody pls share benefit of ASR router w.r.t 3800/7200 Router
ASRs (I assume you're asking about the 1Ks) are "faster", "newer" OS (XE), some new software features and greater range in performance (ESP-2.5 up to ESP-200) and number of models (ASR 1001 up to ASR 1013). Some ASR 1Ks provide additional software or hardware redundancy.
& Nexus Switch w.r.t to 65xx Switch
Depends on what models you're comparing between between the two series, but Nexus might be "faster", has "newer" OS (NX), some new features. Nexus series is a "larger" family of devices too.
The recent 6807 narrows some of the advantages of the Nexus, for it offers much more bandwidth capacity per slot and also offers fabric extenders (the IA switches).
PS:
The Nexus series is oriented toward the needs of data centers, the 6500/6800 series are more "generic".

FAQ

Is there a Cisco lab available for ASR 9000
we have "XR4U" stations coming available soon when XR 511 comes alive. The plan is for a downloadable play image like that. In the interim we have 2 demo systems available, and they can be booked via your account manager representative.
How will MOD160 perform with multiple 9000NVS?
very well. the mod 160 has 4 NPU's, 2 per bay. So if you have a 4x10 MPA to serve a satellite, you effectively have a single NPU per 20 1Gigs from the satellite. The pps performance will be stellar. However it might be price technically more ideal to connect satellite with a 36x10. Since the MOD-x has native MPA's with 1G also.
2. Is there a shortcut for a Bundle-EthernetX interface, such as port-channel interface (poX), in Cisco IOS® ?.
usability enhancement is there, we are trying to push this into a new reasonable release. follow CSCuh04526
3. What is the revolutions per minute (RPM) on these hard disk drives (HDDs) compared to the solid state drives (SDDs)? Will the spinning drives be slow?
depends on the type we had avaialble at time of production, you will see different sizes and disks on the RSP2. the rpm of the HD is not so much an issue as much as the buffered writing we used to do in XR. This is fixed up with XR43 where the disk writing performance is much better. the HD/SDD is used for logging storage only (and maybe your pictures) but other then that we're not that concerned with write perf of the HD.

Cisco ASR 1006 and WAAS

Hi,
Is there any built-in WAAS and NME features or services in Cisco ASR 1006? Or is there any WAAS or NME module that can be installed in Cisco ASR 1006? I found that for Cisco ISR 1900, 2900, and 3900, WAAS and NME services can be enabled by installing SRE and NME module. But can't find any information for Cisco ASR 1006.
Really appreciate your help.
Thanks

Hi Marvin
There is no option for this.
on the 4510 the only options under the interface are
speed nonegotiate or no speed nonegotiate (for auto)
Similarly on the ASR no negotiation auto or negotiation auto. setting each device to auto/manual or manual/auto has no effect on the ASR port - its still down
Cheers

Cisco ASR - How to connect an OTV internal interface to a FabricPath domain

Scenario - migrate servers while maintaining their existing IP address from data centre 1 to data centre 2 with minimal downtime. Diagram attached.
I'm planning on using a Cisco ASR1001-X with AES license at DC1 and DC2 and configuring the routers with OTV to extend 10 x VLANs between the data centres. The join interface would connect directly to the WAN circuit NTU and the Internal Interface would connect to the switch and be configured as a service instance with 10 VLANs tagged using dot1q. The problem is that DC1 switch infrastructure is using Cisco Nexus 56xx configured with FabricPath. I can't find any information that suggests that i can patch the Cisco ASR router's internal interface directly into a FabricPath switchport or what the configuration would be.
Older OTV documentation refers to Nexus 7000 and OTV stating the following: "Because OTV encapsulation is done on M-series modules, OTV cannot read FabricPath packets. Because of this restriction, terminating FabricPath and reverting to Classical Ethernet where the OTV VDC resides is necessary."
Is this true for the Cisco ASR also? The only workaround i can think of is to install a cheap catalyst switch connected to the FabricPath domain and re-introduce spanning-tree at the edge but this seems backwards to me. Any help or suggestions appreciated? Thanks

Thanks Minh,
So it is possible to have switchports configured as routed, fabricpath and trunk/access in a fabricpath configuration? Do i need to add any spanning-tree pseudo or priority configuration?
Sample configs:
#ASR
interface GigabitEthernet0/0/1
no ip address
service instance 1 ethernet
  encapsulation dot1q 1
  bridge-domain 1
service instance 2 ethernet
  encapsulation dot1q 2
  bridge-domain 2
service instance 3 ethernet
  encapsulation dot1q 3
  bridge-domain 3
#Nexus 56xx
interface e1/5
switchport mode trunk
switchport trunk allow vlan 1,2,3

Traffic policing question on Cisco ASR 1001

Hi Experts,
I have a request to setup aggregated traffic policing on a Cisco ASR 1001 router for multiple networks within a router.
Lets say I have a router with several subinterfaces:
interface GigabitEthernet0/2
description WAN
ip address x.x.x.x x.x.x.x
interface GigabitEthernet0/1.70
description Lan_1
encapsulation dot1Q 70
ip address 192.168.55.1 255.255.255.0
interface GigabitEthernet0/1.80
description LAN_2
encapsulation dot1Q 80
ip address 192.168.56.1 255.255.255.0
interface GigabitEthernet0/1.90
description Servers
encapsulation dot1Q 90
ip address 172.16.10.1 255.255.255.0
I have a WAN link 100Mbit/s and I need to police traffic, so that I have 30Mbit/s for servers (GigabitEthernet0/1.90) and the rest 70Mbit I want to share between Interface Lan_1 and LAN_2. The Idea is that I need 70Mbit/s equally shared between two interfaces, so that I have fair policing on both iunterfaces. What is the best way to achieve this?
Many Thanks

Hello
The below configuration is a possible option, Its provides policing inbound from the clients interfaces and LLQ priority queung on the wan interface for the servers and shaping values from LAN1 & 2 traffic is set to 35MB.each.
Notice nothing is defined for the default class, however i am on the understanding this is given by default 1% of Hqos implementations.
Maybe others on here could review to verify any problems with this post and share their thoughts?

Hello Erick
    Thanks for the topology. The trigger will be different for labelled packet as you would need to mention the values of labels too in the trigger.
     Below are two examples of one or two labels being used, it depends on where you are capturing the packet in mplsvpn scenario which will decide teh number of labels being imposed on the packet.
Trigger for one label. (if the router on which you are capturing the packet PHP is being performed)
VPN label - 5678
Source Address - 111.111.111.111
Destination Address - 123.123.123.123
show platform capture elam trigger dbus others if data = 0 0 0 0x88470162 0xE0000000 0 0 0x00006F6F 0x6F6F 7B7B 0x7B7B0000 [ 0 0 0 0xffffffff 0xf0000000 0 0 0x0000ffff 0xffffffff 0xffff0000 ]
Trigger for two labels. (for other core routers)
IGP label - 1234
VPN label - 5678
Source Address - 111.111.111.111
Destination Address - 123.123.123.123
show platform capture elam trigger dbus others if data = 0 0 0 0x8847004D 0x20000162 0xE0000000 0 0 0x00006F6F 0x6F6F7B7B 0x7B7B0000 [ 0 0 0 0xffffffff 0xf000ffff 0xf0000000 0 0 0x0000ffff 0xffffffff 0xffff0000 ]
    You can check the labels being used (by using show ip cef <> details) and covert their values to hex and change the trigger accordingly.
     I have changed the colors for better understanding. If you notice carefully in the trigger the values for ip address, labels have just been converted to their respective hex values which could be replaced.
     Please let me know if this helps.
Thanks & Regards

Can I rate-limit on the sub-interface in cisco asr 1013?

Hi,
I am looking for the command of rate-limit on a sub-interface in cisco asr 1013.
Cisco IOS Software, IOS-XE Software (X86_64_LINUX_IOSD-ADVENTERPRISEK9-M), Version 15.2(2)S, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc1)
IOS XE Version: 03.06.00.S
Please let me know if it is possible in cisco asr 1013. If yes then what are the commands.
Zobair

The ASR no longer supports the rate-limit command, but it does support the same functionality in a QoS policy.
Please find a sample configuration -
ASR1004(config)#policy-map test
ASR1004(config-pmap)#class class-default
ASR1004(config-pmap-c)#shape average 10000
Applying for both ingress and egress : -
ASR1004(config)#int gig1/1/0
ASR1004(config-if)#service-policy output test
or
ASR1004(config-if)#service-policy input test

Cisco ASR Router Software Version 4.3.1 // PRTG Custom Sensor

Dears,
We are encountering problem in doing costume SNMP sensors in PRTG, whenever I create a customized sensor, the sensor goes up and down. We have faced this problem after updating the software of our Cisco ASR to 4.3.1. In older versions, it was working well. Is there a problem in Cisco ASR 4.3.1 SNMP with PRTG ? I would appreciate it if you can support in this case as we are in need of these customized sensors. We have gor all of them down because of the update
Regards,

Dear Alexander,
The standard sensors of PRTG are working well such as traffic sensors, ping etc, but the customized sensors are not working well in version 4.3.1. I always do a customized sensors for QoS, SLAs and others and they are working well in versions below 4.3.1.
Furthermore, I have tested those OIDs by using Paessler SNMP Tester and I have seen that the reading is not showing properly. For instance, I have a customized OID that shows the reading every 60s (as a minimum) only while in older versions of ASR software I can see the reading every 30s or below of that particular OID using the same version of PRTG!
Conclusion:
PRTG latest version + ASR 4.3.1 = Customized sesnors are not working well
PRTG latest version + ASR Older version = Customized sesnors are working well
Kind regards,

Monitoring Cisco ASR 1002 with IOS-XE in IPM 4.2

We are running LMS 3.2 with IPM 4.2 installed....and we are looking to do IPSLA monitoring on a couple of our Cisco ASR's with IOS-XE code installed.
I looked at the IPSLA feature mapping and it only talks about supported IOS code....do we need to upgrade our current IPM module to a current version?

Hi Konstantin,
Regarding "It is strange that these commands cleaned from sh run view.": this is normal for many default configuration commands.
Mine is a lab device so I cannot really comment on stability or provide you a recommendation based on that. However, I see that the download section from Cisco.com mentiones the following release as the recommended based on quality, stability and longevity:
asr1002x-universal.03.07.04a.S.152-4.S4a.SPA.bin
The best would be for you to check this with yor cisco Account Team or Advanced Services Team as normally they are the proper point of contacts for SW advisory.
Regards.

Have you tried...
show facility-alarm status
to identify what the critical alarm is and then fix.
You may be able to also use
clear facility-alarm
However, most likely it could be some issue such as failed power supply, etc that will not clear.

Maximum cos1 (voice traffic) supported by Cisco ASR 1006 router

Dear Team,
Please confirm the maximum cos 1 traffic supported by cisco ASR 1006 router.

Yes, it would. If you are planning on terminating a single site on this router I would spread over multiple routers for redundancy.
Table 6 explains number of ports and channels providing you have the DSPs:

Cisco AON and Tibco RV

Hi guys,
I my company we use Tibco RV to integrate some productive applications, we use multicast with a internal address scope 239.x.x.x in a many to many relationship to exchange this traffic. That means every host have one or more applications that will comunicate with servers with 239.x.x.x multicast address and servers will comunicate with clients in the same way. Routing protocol is PIM in SPARSE MODE. Sometimes we have network problems because hosts deamons will ask for packet retransmissions (we do not know why this is happening).
I read about Cisco AON and i want to know if this technology can be applied on this scenario and how can we benefit of it!
We have cat6500 to support AON modules...
I hope you understand my question.
Thanks for your help!

nunoscosta
I am also in the process of implementing tibo rvd daemon on the same vlan as the client PC's and use multicast and also use the rvrd between our office ( we have catalyst 4507) and datacenter we have catalyst 6509) using tcpip instead of muticast. what i am trying to do is run rvd daemon in the same vlan as the client PC's and have one rvrd routing daemon at the office and one at the datacenter. have you implemented tibo successfully? please let me know.

Hi Renzo,
PPPoEoVLAN on GEC (LACP mode) is supported as of XE 3.7. I see that you are using XE 3.4 here so I would suggest to move to XE 3.7 and try this feature.
This is a sample configuration for the feature:
interface GigabitEthernet2/1/0
no ip address
negotiation auto
channel-group 2 mode active
interface GigabitEthernet3/1/0
no ip address
negotiation auto
channel-group 2 mode active
lacp port-priority 65000
interface Port-channel2
no ip address
load-interval 30
no negotiation auto
lacp max-bundle 1
lacp fast-switchover
interface Port-channel2.200
encapsulation dot1Q 200
pppoe enable group global
interface Port-channel2.500
encapsulation dot1Q 500 second-dot1q 1500
pppoe enable group global
As you can see, both PPPoEoVLAN and PPPoEoQinQ are supported.
Hope this helps.
Best regards.
