The Cisco Enhanced Route Switch Controller (ERSC), part number AS58-ERSC-2GE/2=, is a component designed to enhance the performance of Cisco equipment by facilitating efficient routing and switching. This control processor is used in the modular Cisco 12000 series routers. The controller manages the system's overall operations and is integral for the device's proper functioning.
One of the standout features of the AS58-ERSC-2GE/2= is its capability to handle sophisticated routing tasks. It includes two Gigabit Ethernet (GE) ports, ensuring high-speed data transmission and optimal connectivity. These ports are ideal for managing network traffic efficiently. The controller also enhances the scalability of the Cisco 12000 series routers, supporting a large number of routes and MPLS label switch paths to meet both current and future network demands.
The processor comes equipped with redundancy capabilities to ensure reliable operation, and it can be deployed in fault-tolerant configurations. This redundancy allows for continuous system uptime even if one element of the network controller fails, improving the overall system reliability. Integrated within a modular chassis, it maximises performance for high-capacity network environments.
A noted benefit of the Cisco Enhanced Route Switch Controller is its use in high-performance environments, as it is optimised for scalable WAN and service provider networks. It supports a range of control and management features, including fault detection, diagnostics, and system-level operational monitoring, allowing seamless network administration.
