The Cisco ASR1000-RP2 Route Processor 2 is a critical control-plane module engineered for deployment within the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Router platform. Featuring 8GB of DRAM, the RP2 provides substantially increased memory headroom compared to the original RP1, enabling network administrators to support larger routing tables, more complex policy configurations, and a greater number of concurrent services without performance degradation.Designed for enterprise core networks and service provider edge environments, the ASR1000-RP2 handles all routing protocol processing, management plane functions, and high-availability operations for the chassis. Its architecture supports Cisco IOS XE Software, giving operators access to a wide range of advanced networking features including MPLS, VPN services, QoS, and NetFlow.
This Refurbished Cisco ASR1000-RP2 has been inspected and tested to ensure full operational functionality, making it an ideal choice for organizations looking to upgrade or expand their ASR 1000 infrastructure while managing capital expenditure. Whether refreshing an existing deployment or building out a redundant network architecture, this module delivers the processing capability and memory capacity needed to keep mission-critical traffic flowing.
At $289.00, the Refurbished ASR1000-RP2 represents exceptional value for IT teams and network engineers seeking proven Cisco hardware without the premium cost of new equipment.

Ideal Use Cases
Enterprise Core Network Upgrades
Organizations running large BGP or OSPF routing tables can upgrade from RP1 to RP2 to gain additional DRAM headroom and improved control-plane performance. The increased memory capacity supports more complex routing policies without risking memory exhaustion on critical infrastructure.
Service Provider Edge Deployments
Service providers requiring advanced features such as MPLS, L3VPN, and NetFlow on ASR 1000 chassis benefit from the RP2's enhanced processing and 8GB DRAM. This ensures stable operation under high session counts and diverse traffic profiles typical of edge environments.
High-Availability and Redundant Router Architectures
Network engineers building redundant ASR 1000 deployments can install a second RP2 to enable stateful switchover (SSO) and non-stop routing (NSR), minimizing downtime. Sourcing a Refurbished RP2 allows teams to achieve full redundancy at a fraction of the new-unit cost.

Frequently Asked Questions
Product-specific answers about compatibility, testing, warranty, fulfilment, and purchase confidence.
The ASR1000-RP2 provides more DRAM than the RP1, with 8GB versus the lower capacity of the RP1, allowing it to support larger routing tables, more complex configurations, and a greater number of concurrent services. It is designed as an upgrade path for ASR 1000 Series deployments requiring additional control-plane memory and processing capability.
Yes, this is a Refurbished Cisco ASR1000-RP2, meaning it has been previously deployed, returned, inspected, and tested to verify full operational functionality before resale. Purchasing Refurbished hardware allows organizations to acquire proven enterprise-grade Cisco equipment at a significantly lower cost than new.
The ASR 1000 Series platform supports high-availability features including Stateful Switchover (SSO) and Non-Stop Routing (NSR) when dual route processors are installed. We recommend consulting Cisco's IOS XE documentation to confirm specific feature support for your software version and chassis configuration.
The ASR1000-RP2 operates with Cisco IOS XE Software. The specific minimum software release required may vary depending on the features you intend to use and the ASR 1000 chassis model; please verify the required IOS XE version in Cisco's official release notes prior to deployment.
