ASR1001-HX Description
ASR1001-HX is a Cisco ASR 1001-HX Aggregation Services Router in a 1RU form factor with 8 built-in 1GE SFP ports, 4 built-in 10GE SFP+ ports, 4 configurable 1GE/10GE ports, dual power supply support, optional crypto hardware, and up to 60 Gbps total system bandwidth.
This router is used for enterprise WAN edge, managed services edge, internet edge, and aggregation designs that need more headroom than ASR1001-X while staying in a compact 1RU ASR 1000 platform. Cisco documentation describes ASR1001-HX with fixed and configurable Ethernet ports; active-port count, paired port licenses, and crypto throughput must be checked against the ordered bundle and license state.
Before quoting ASR1001-HX, confirm enabled port count, paired port licenses, crypto module and crypto throughput license, AC or DC power supply type, DRAM requirement, optical transceivers, support coverage, stock condition, lead time, and shipping destination.

Product Performance
Key Features
ASR1001-HX is selected when buyers need more throughput than ASR1001-X but still want a compact ASR 1000 Series router for WAN edge or aggregation.
The platform provides 8 fixed 1GE SFP ports, 4 fixed 10GE SFP+ ports, and 4 configurable 1GE/10GE ports, reducing the need for separate interface hardware in many WAN and internet edge designs.
The configurable ports let engineers align the same hardware with 1GE or 10GE handoff requirements. Because Cisco documentation also lists port-license SKUs, the final active-port count should be checked before quoting.
ASR1001-HX can be ordered with an optional crypto module and separate crypto throughput licenses, making license review a required procurement step for VPN and secure edge designs.
The router supports two AC or two DC power supplies for redundancy. Cisco warns not to mix AC and DC power supplies in the same chassis.
ASR1001-HX should be quoted as a complete router configuration, not only a chassis. Confirm active ports, paired port licenses, crypto module, crypto license, DRAM, power supplies, optics, and support coverage before purchase.
Application Scenarios
Use ASR1001-HX when a branch hub, regional WAN edge, or internet edge site needs ASR 1000 Series routing, QoS, security, and 10GE uplink capacity in a 1RU chassis.
Choose ASR1001-HX for customer edge or managed WAN designs that need licensed throughput, optional crypto acceleration, and a fixed ASR service platform.
Deploy ASR1001-HX when the installed network already standardizes on ASR 1000 routers and the purchase is for expansion, spare inventory, or a like-for-like maintenance requirement.

- Choose ASR1001-HX when a 1RU ASR router needs higher bandwidth than ASR1001-X and the network already standardizes on ASR 1000-HX operation.
- Choose ASR1001-X only for lower-throughput legacy ASR 1000-X designs or same-model replacement.
- Choose ASR1002-HX when the design needs a 2RU platform with higher bandwidth, more 10GE capacity, and higher crypto license options.
- For new projects, confirm active ports, crypto license, optics, support coverage, and availability before quoting the chassis.
Selection Guide
1. Choose ASR1001-HX for approved 1RU ASR edge designs
Select ASR1001-HX when the site needs ASR 1000 Series services, 1RU form factor, and up to 60 Gbps system bandwidth under an already approved architecture.
2. Verify enabled ports and paired port licenses
Do not quote only from the front-panel port count. Confirm which GE and TE interfaces are enabled by default, whether paired port licenses are required, and whether the buyer is comparing a base chassis SKU or a bundle.
3. Confirm crypto hardware and crypto license
If the deployment needs VPN or secure edge services, confirm whether ASR1001HX-IPSECHW and the required 8G or 16G crypto throughput license are included.
4. Verify software, support, and purchase conditions
Confirm target software release, support coverage, active-port bundle, crypto license, quote, stock, lead time, warranty handling, and shipping destination before ordering.
Ordering Checklist
|
Check Item |
What to Confirm |
Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
|
Port Enablement |
Default active ports, configurable port mode, and paired port license requirements |
Avoids quoting physical ports that are not enabled in the requested configuration |
|
Throughput Requirement |
Up to 60 Gbps system bandwidth requirement |
Confirms the platform size is appropriate |
|
Crypto Module |
Whether ASR1001HX-IPSECHW is required |
Crypto hardware is optional and must be planned for secure deployments |
|
Crypto License |
8G or 16G crypto throughput license |
VPN and secure edge throughput depends on the license |
|
Optics |
Cisco-supported 1GE SFP and 10GE SFP+ transceivers |
Prevents ordering a router without compatible media |
|
DRAM |
8 GB default or 16 GB maximum |
Software and service requirements may require memory confirmation |
|
Power Type |
Dual AC or dual DC power supplies |
AC and DC power supplies must not be mixed in the same chassis |
|
Airflow |
Front-to-rear rack cooling path |
Confirms the router fits the target rack environment |
|
Bundle Description |
Whether the quote is for base chassis, DNA bundle, spare SKU, or active-port bundle |
Cisco documentation shows different ASR1001-HX ordering descriptions, so the exact orderable configuration should be confirmed |
