Is the Cisco ASR a router or a switch?
Cisco ASR products are routers, not switches. The ASR family is designed for routing traffic between networks, often at service-provider, enterprise-edge, or aggregation layers. An ASR 9006 is a modular carrier-class router built for high-capacity deployments. While it can use Ethernet interfaces and support advanced network services, its primary role is packet routing rather than local-area switching.
What is a Cisco ASR used for?
A Cisco ASR is used to route large volumes of network traffic and deliver services at the edge or core of enterprise, ISP, cloud, and data center networks. Depending on the model and configuration, it can support internet aggregation, VPN services, peering, mobile backhaul, broadband, and high-capacity business connectivity. The ASR 9006 is intended for demanding, modular routing environments.
What is a Cisco ASR router?
A Cisco ASR router is part of Cisco’s Aggregation Services Router product family. These platforms combine high-performance routing with service features needed by enterprises and service providers, such as traffic engineering, VPNs, quality of service, and scalable interface options. The ASR 9006 is a chassis-based model, allowing organizations to tailor capacity and connectivity through compatible line cards, modules, and optics.
Can I buy a refurbished ASR 9006 Router?
Yes. Terabit Systems sources refurbished ASR 9006 Router equipment through a quote-to-order process. Availability can vary based on chassis, route processors, power supplies, line cards, and required interfaces, so providing part numbers or technical specifications helps narrow the quote. Refurbished equipment is rigorously tested and includes a one-year replacement or full-refund guarantee if anything goes wrong.
What information should I provide for an ASR 9006 quote?
For the most accurate quote, provide the Cisco part number when available, along with the chassis configuration, required line cards, route processors, power requirements, interface types, optic needs, quantity, and delivery timeline. If you are replacing existing hardware, share the current configuration or a bill of materials. This allows procurement to identify compatible equipment and supporting accessories.
Does Terabit Systems buy used Cisco ASR equipment?
Yes. Terabit Systems provides IT asset disposition and buy-back support for used enterprise networking equipment, including Cisco routers, switches, optics, and components. The team evaluates equipment for fair-market value based on the specific items and condition. Selling surplus ASR hardware can recover dormant capital and may help offset the cost of a replacement system, spare parts, or other network equipment.
What warranty comes with refurbished network hardware?
Terabit Systems backs its refurbished networking hardware with a one-year replacement or full-refund guarantee if something goes wrong. This protection is supported by rigorous testing procedures intended to certify equipment before it is supplied. Confirm the exact coverage and any configuration-specific details during the quote process, particularly when ordering a multi-component router system, optics, or specialized modules.
How does the ordering process work?
Start by sending your required part numbers, configuration details, quantities, and timing. Terabit Systems reviews the request, prepares a custom quote based on available equipment and condition, and assists with completing the order. The company uses a tight shipping process designed to protect equipment and support on-time delivery. Requests can be made by phone, email, or through the website.
