Cisco ASR1009-X vs ASR1013: Decoding Your Network Backbone

Cut through marketing jargon to see which router truly fits your traffic demands.

1. Raw Performance Breakdown

MetricASR1009-XASR1013
Throughput20 Gbps (max)40 Gbps (max)

Memory16 GB DDR4 (up to 32 GB)32 GB DDR4 (up to 128 GB)
Storage120 GB SSD480 GB SSD (RAID-supported)
Forwarding Rate15 Mpps30 Mpps
ASR1009-X vs ASR1013（水印）.jpg

2. Physical Design – More Than Just Boxes

  • ASR1009-X:

    • Chassis: 2RU height, tool-less rails

    • Cooling: Single fan tray (front exhaust)

    • Weight: 28 lbs – lifts easily into racks

  • ASR1013:

    • Chassis: 4RU beast with reinforced corners

    • Cooling: Dual hot-swap fan trays

    • Weight: 62 lbs – requires two-person install

3. Real Admin Experiences
From network architects:

"The ASR1013 devours 1M BGP routes like breakfast, but its depth blocks airflow in shallow cabinets. The ASR1009-X’s compact frame saved our edge deployment." – DataCenter Journal

4. Power & Thermal Reality

  • ASR1009-X:

    • 450W peak (single PSU)

    • Idle: 180W – silent operation

  • ASR1013:

    • 900W peak (dual PSUs)

    • Idle: 350W – audible fan hum
      Note: No batteries; both use AC power with optional UPS integration.

5. Expansion Headroom

6. Software & Licensing

OSIOS XE 17.x (unified)IOS XE 17.x (modular)
Key FeatureSD-WAN ready out-of-boxMPLS/VPLS carrier-grade
License Cost$8k/year (Advantage)$22k/year (Premier)

7. Price Tags Exposed

  • ASR1009-X Hardware: $18,500

    • 5-year TCO (hw+license): $58k

  • ASR1013 Hardware: $42,000

    • 5-year TCO: $152k (with redundant PSUs)

When to Choose Which
ASR1009-X dominates for:
✔️ Regional offices needing SD-WAN
✔️ Firewall/VPN consolidation projects
✔️ Budgets under $25k upfront

ASR1013 justifies cost when:
✔️ Service providers transporting IPTV
✔️ Financial networks requiring <50ms failover
✔️ Core sites with 40G+ uplinks

Gotcha Moment: The ASR1013’s "secret weapon"? Its Route Processor (RP2) module handles control-plane traffic separately – a must for 500k+ route tables.
