Product Overview

The Cisco NCS-55A2-MODS-SYS is a modular, high-capacity router engineered for dynamic, scalable network infrastructures. Designed with flexible consumption in mind, it integrates 24x10 Gigabit Ethernet and 16x25 Gigabit Ethernet ports for high throughput and future expansion. With a switching capacity of 900 Gbps and support for jumbo frames up to 9216 bytes, this unit is ideal for enterprise core networks and large-scale data centers seeking high-speed performance and reliable redundancy.

Built with advanced protocol support—including BGP, OSPFv2/v3, IS-ISv6, PIM, MPLS, and Segment Routing with Traffic Engineering (SR-TE)—the router ensures efficient routing, multicast management, and optimized network paths. Features like MACsec encryption, Quality of Service (QoS), VRRP, L3VPN and L2VPN support, and Ethernet over MPLS (EoMPLS) fortify both security and operational versatility. Remote management is streamlined through SNMP v3 and SSH, while zero-touch provisioning enhances deployment efficiency.

This system includes 32 GB RAM and 128 GB SSD storage, with 2 expansion slots for additional upgrades. Despite its rich feature set, users should note that the power supply and processor are not included and must be added separately. The chassis supports humid environments (5–95% non-condensing) and operates between 32°F and 131°F, making it suitable for a wide range of deployment conditions. A 1-year limited hardware warranty with advanced hardware replacement boosts confidence in mission-critical deployments.
