The Cisco ASR1001 with RP1 is an integrated services router built for high-performance enterprise and service provider edge environments. With a built-in Route Processor 1 (RP1), it delivers essential routing, security, and service integration in a compact 1RU form factor. The RP1 supports a 1.5 GHz general-purpose processor with 4 GB of memory and a built-in 1 GB eUSB flash, providing solid baseline performance for standard edge routing needs.
This router is ideal for branch aggregation, WAN edge, or secure VPN deployments where advanced services like encrypted tunnels, firewalling, and traffic shaping are required—all without adding extra modules. It simplifies deployments with its built-in capabilities and reduces the total cost of ownership through fewer components and lower power consumption.
