Product Overview

The Cisco NCS55A1 is a compact, high-throughput edge router purpose-built for hyperscale, metro, and data center edge deployments. Housed in a 1U rack-mountable chassis with front-to-back airflow, this platform supports a potent interface mix including 24x 1/10G SFP, 24x 10/25G SFP28, and 6x 100G QSFP28 ports. With MACsec encryption, enterprises can secure data at line speeds without compromise. Featuring a 1.9 GHz CPU, 32 GB of RAM, and 128 GB of internal storage, the NCS55A1 ensures consistent performance under demanding workloads, maintaining up to 900 Gbps throughput and supporting 2 million FIB entries for scalable routing efficiency.

To meet complex networking requirements, this router supports VRRP, MPLS, BGP, OSPFv2/v3, IS-IS, and advanced features such as Layer 2/3 switching, SyncE, ZTP, HQoS, and more. Additional capabilities include jumbo frame support up to 9216 bytes, hardware redundancy with dual power supplies and 1+1 fan modules, and compliance with major standards like IEEE 802.1Q and RoHS. Remote management is simplified with SNMP, JSON, YANG, SSH, and TACACS+. Designed to run Cisco IOS XR 7.2.1, this router is a robust option for secure, flexible, and high-capacity network routing in high-density environments.
