Questions & Answers
What is the Cisco ASR1002-X 16GB DRAM upgrade?
The Cisco ASR1002-X 16GB DRAM upgrade is a factory-qualified memory module designed to increase packet buffering, control-plane caching, and overall performance on the ASR1002-X router platform.
What benefits does the 16GB DRAM upgrade deliver?
Upgrading to 16GB DRAM enhances routing table capacity, accelerates service processing, supports higher throughput, and improves handling of large BGP tables and intensive VPN workloads.
How does additional DRAM improve ASR1002-X router performance?
Additional DRAM expands buffer capacity for data-plane operations, reduces packet drops under load, accelerates control-plane tasks, and enables advanced services without performance bottlenecks.
Is the 16GB DRAM module compatible with my existing ASR1002-X router?
Yes. The 16GB DRAM module is fully compatible with all ASR1002-X routers running Cisco IOS XE releases supported by Cisco for this memory upgrade.
How do I install the 16GB DRAM module in the ASR1002-X?
Power down the ASR1002-X, open the DRAM cover, align the module with the designated slot, seat it firmly until the latches engage, replace the cover, and power up the router.
Will installing the 16GB DRAM void my Cisco warranty?
No. Using Cisco-qualified DRAM modules maintains your Cisco warranty and support entitlement, provided installation follows Cisco guidelines.
What is the power consumption impact of the 16GB DRAM upgrade?
The 16GB DRAM module adds approximately 2.5 W of power draw under typical operating conditions, as specified in the ASR1002-X hardware installation guide.
Which network services benefit most from the DRAM upgrade?
Services such as large-scale BGP, MPLS VPN, advanced QoS, NAT, stateful firewalls, and encrypted traffic decryption gain the greatest performance improvements.
What memory configuration does the ASR1002-X support?
The ASR1002-X supports dual-slot DRAM configurations up to 16GB per module, with a maximum total system memory of 32GB when both slots are populated.
Can I mix the 16GB module with lower-capacity DRAM modules?
No. For optimal performance and system stability, Cisco recommends using matched-capacity DRAM modules in both slots.
How do I verify that the router recognizes the new DRAM?
After reboot, issue the “show platform hardware qfp active feature memory” command in Cisco IOS XE to confirm the total available DRAM reflects the upgrade.
Are there any software or licensing prerequisites?
No special software or licensing is required. Ensure your Cisco IOS XE release is on the compatibility matrix for the ASR1002-X memory upgrade.
What is the list price for the Cisco ASR1002-X 16GB DRAM module?
Pricing varies by region and reseller. Contact an authorized Cisco partner for current list pricing and volume discounts.
What warranty and support options are provided?
