Cisco 10005 Edge Services Router Overview
The Cisco 10005 edge services router (ESR) is a high capacity Layer 3 router optimized to support selected Cisco IOS software services at wire speed performance on thousands of DS1/T1 connections. Designed primarily for use in a telco central office environment, it provides interfaces that connect to large numbers of subscribers using low-speed circuits, and then funnels all subscriber traffic into a small number of high-speed trunk interfaces. The chassis contains five line card slots and two slots for Performance Routing Engine (PRE) modules.
The Cisco 10005 meets and exceeds the most stringent ISP requirements for product availability and reliability. Its features include:
•
Redundant cooling fans
•
•
•
•
The Route Processor Redundancy Plus (RPR+) feature lets you configure the chassis for non-redundant operation with one PRE, or for redundant operation with two PREs.
In addition to PRE redundancy, SONET/SDH line cards can be configured for 1+1 APS to accommodate failure of either a line card or the transmission facility carrying trunk traffic to upstream equipment.
The Cisco 10005 ESR scales to unprecedented levels and increased scalability is planned for future releases. Cisco 10005 ESR Features
The Cisco 10005 ESR and its power subsystem support these key features:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Cisco 10000 Series ESR Software
Software is stored on the PRE, which includes two PCMCIA slots that are accessible from the front panel. Either slot can store a Cisco IOS image or configuration file.
The Flash memory on the line cards is used to store a simple ROM monitor/boot loader. The loader executes following a system reset, line card reset, or line card insertion.
Line card images may be stored in PRE Flash memory or on an external TFTP server.
The PRE stores the system configuration in a 512KB NVRAM device. Configuration information read from NVRAM is buffered in RAM following initialization, and is written to NVRAM when you save the configuration.
Cisco 10005 ESR Hardware Description
The Cisco 10005 ESR is Network Equipment Building Standards (NEBS) compliant. It has the following additional features:
•

Performance Routing Engine
The PRE is the central router and system controller for the Cisco 10005 ESR. It is responsible for all Layer 2 and Layer 3 packet processing, as well as execution of routing protocols and management of the system. The PRE consists of two main logical and physical cards:
•
•
The high performance forwarding engine in the PRE is Cisco's Parallel eXpress Forwarding (PXF) application specific integrated circuit (ASIC). The two PXF ASICs on the PRE direct traffic to and from the router line cards.
Each PXF ASIC has 32 independent processors that work on per-packet feature processing, yielding high throughput while still allowing substantial feature processing. The PXF centralizes packet processing in the PRE, which frees up space on line cards, enabling high interface density, yet retaining a compact form factor.
Figure 1-1 shows the front panel of the Performance Routing Engine, product number ESR- PRE.

Connector Ports
The front panel of the PRE contains three ports with female RJ-45 connectors (see Figure 1-1, Figure 1-2, and Figure 1-3):
•
•
•
PCMCIA Card Slots
Two PCMCIA Type II card slots can store the Cisco IOS image or a system configuration file on a flash memory card. The system can also boot from the software stored on the flash memory card.
LED Indicators and Switches
LEDs on the front panel of the PRE provide a visual indication showing the status of PRE operation (see Figure 1-1, Figure 1-2, and Figure 1-3). The LEDs are separated into three categories:
•
•
•
Alarm relay contacts on the back of the Cisco 10005 ESR let you connect the router to a site alarm maintenance system. This allows critical, major, and minor alarms generated by the Cisco 10005 to be indicated on both the PRE front panel and to external visual or audible alarm devices connected to the system.
Pressing the alarm cutoff (ACO) switch on the (primary) PRE during an alarm condition shuts off the external alarm, but does not deactivate the alarm LEDs on the PRE front panel. Alarm LEDs on the front panel are deactivated only after the condition that caused the alarm is corrected.
Table 1-1 describes the LEDs and switch on the PRE.
Alphanumeric Display
The small alphanumeric display on the front panel provides information on the state of the PRE. The display consists of two four-character LED panels. Table 1-2 lists the most common messages and explains what they mean. If you report a problem to us, it is helpful to include the message on the PRE's alphanumeric display in your problem report.
Disposing of the PRE
The PRE contains a small lithium battery. Some jurisdictions restrict the disposal of items containing lithium batteries. In particular, never dispose of lithium batteries or products containing lithium batteries in an unregulated fire. Other restrictions might apply in your area.
Do not attempt to replace the lithium battery on the PRE.

Gigabit Ethernet Line Card Description
The single-port gigabit Ethernet (GE) line card provides a trunk uplink to devices such as Cisco 12000 GSRs, as well as connections to content servers and Web caches. The GE line card provides the Cisco 10005 ESR with an IEEE 802.3z compliant Ethernet interface running at 1 Gbps in full duplex mode.
The port uses a Gigabit Interface Converter (GBIC) that supports gigabit Ethernet rates on a variety of gigabit Ethernet interface types (SX, LX/LH, ZX) which can be changed or upgraded at any time (see Table 1-9). The Cisco 10005 ESR supports multiple GE line cards to support connectivity to multiple destinations and for network layer redundancy.

1 Mode-conditioning patch cord (CAB-GELX-625 or equivalent) is required. If you use an ordinary patch cord with MMF, 1000BASE-LX/LH GBICs, and a short link distance (tens of meters), this can cause transceiver saturation, resulting in an elevated bit error rate (BER). In addition, when you use the LX/LH GBIC with 62.5-micron diameter MMF, you must install a mode-conditioning patch cord between the GBIC and the MMF cable on both the transmit and receive ends of the link. The mode-conditioning patch cord is required for link distances greater than 984 ft (300 m).

SFP Gigabit Ethernet Interface Converter
The gigabit Ethernet half-height line card provides the Cisco 10000 series ESR with an IEEE 802.3z compliant Ethernet interface that can run up to 1 Gbps in full duplex mode.
Note
You install this line card in an ESR chassis half-height slot splitter, which you must first install in the ESR chassis slot.You can run this line card with a second line card in the other subslot to provide the ESR chassis with redundant links while only occupying a single slot. This allows you to service or replace one of the line cards without losing uplink connectivity. It is also acceptable to use the other subslot for a different half-height line card.
The line card uses a Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) Gigabit Interface Converter (GBIC) that supports a variety of gigabit Ethernet interface types (SX and LX/LH), which you can change or upgrade at any time.

•
•
•
•
•
Figure 1-20 and Figure 1-21 show a fully loaded chassis with redundant PREs, redundant AC power supplies, and five line cards.
Figure 1-20 Cisco 10005 Chassis—Front View
Figure 1-21 Cisco 10005 Chassis—Rear View
Front Card Compartment
The front card compartment contains seven horizontal slots: the two bottom slots are reserved for PRE modules, and the remaining 5 slots accommodate full-height line cards. The PRE and line cards support hot-swapping and redundancy.
Caution
Fan Assembly
To supply cooling air to the chassis, the Cisco 10005 ESR uses a fan assembly (Figure 1-22) containing seven fans.
The fan assembly is located on the left side of the chassis. It is accessible from the rear only. (From the rear, look for the fan assembly on the right side of the chassis.)

Red
The fans are not operating correctly (see the Cisco 10000 Series ESR Troubleshooting Guide).
Power Modules
This section discusses the DC and AC power modules for the Cisco 10005 ESR. The DC module is a power entry module (PEM) and the AC module is a power supply. Power modules are installed at the bottom rear of the chassis.
DC PEM
The DC PEM provides filtering and supplies DC power to the chassis electronics (Figure 1-23). The DC PEM receives input power (-48 VDC from building centralized power source) through terminal block connections located on the front panel of the PEM.
Figure 1-23 DC PEM
Table 1-23 describes the LEDs on the DC PEM.
AC Power Supply
The AC power supply (Figure 1-24) provides power conversion directly from the facility AC input power (100 to 240 VAC nominal) to the -48V VDC used internally by the system. Power is delivered to the AC power supply through the AC power cord.
Figure 1-24 AC Power Supply
Table 1-24 describes the LEDs on the AC power supply.
T3/E3 Extender Card
All Cisco 10005 ESR cards connect to a midplane in the center of the chassis. The midplane design requires extender cards to deliver the alarm, BITS clock, and DS3 signals to the rear of the chassis to make them accessible. The T3/E3 extender card accomplishes this by extending these signals and terminating them.
The T3/E3 extender card extends the signals of the channelized T3 line card in the slot directly opposite in the front of the chassis, and terminates the eight pairs of DS3 signals with BNC connectors (see Figure 1-25).
Figure 1-25 T3/E3 Extender Card
Note
Alarm Extender Card
The alarm extender card slides into the bottom slot in the back of the chassis, just above the power modules. It terminates the alarm relay and BITS (EXT CLOCK) signals with wire wrap header connectors (see Figure 1-26). Note that external clocking is not yet supported.
