ASR1000-SIP10 Router Module

Cisco ASR1000-SIP10 - SIP10 SPA Interface Processor

The ASR1000-SIP10 is a SIP (SPA Interface Processor) module that provides physical interface termination and SPA mounting for Cisco ASR 1000 Series routers, enabling the use of Shared Port Adapters (SPAs) to deliver a wide range of WAN and Ethernet interfaces for service aggregation and flexible port density.

🔧 Key Specifications

• Module Type: SIP (SPA Interface Processor) for ASR 1000 Series
• SPA Slots Supported: Up to 4 half-height SPAs or 2 full-height SPAs per SIP10 slot.
• Primary Function: Provides physical connectivity and SPA management for voice, video, and data services.
• Supported Interfaces: Dependent on installed SPA modules; includes copper, fiber, channelized, PoS, ATM, and Ethernet options via SPAs.
• Use Case Role: Aggregation and flexible service termination at the WAN edge for enterprises and service providers.
• Redundancy/HA: Operates within ASR1000 chassis high-availability architecture; failover behavior depends on router and module configuration.
• Management: Managed through the ASR router control plane and IOS XE feature set; SPA provisioning handled at module level.
• Power/Thermal: Powered and cooled according to ASR1000 chassis specifications; SPA power draw varies by SPA type.
• Form Factor: Pluggable SIP module sized for ASR1000 chassis slots.

🧩 Ideal Use Cases

• Terminating diverse WAN interfaces in a service aggregation role.
• Deployments requiring modular, mix-and-match SPAs for evolving service needs.
• Service provider and large-enterprise WAN edge installations needing high interface density and protocol flexibility.

⚙️ Notes on Compatibility and Expansion

• Interface capabilities are determined by the specific SPA modules installed into the SIP10; plan SPA selections according to required port types and densities.
• Consider ASR1000 router chassis type and IOS XE software level for SPA and SIP feature support and licensing.
