Overall Satisfaction with Cisco 9000 Series Aggregation Services Routers (ASR 9000)
The ASR 9000 is used as our core routing solution. Here, it works as a BRASS, Building L2vpn, [and] L3vpn for customers [and] also as a border gateway router. All our services [are] connected to the ASR 9000 as our mobile platform for our corporate LAN and VOIP services. We also have directly connected distribution switches.

- VRF Configuration could be made simpler.
- Uniform show command for Gig or TenG links [could be added].
- Stability
- Reliability
- Future Growth
- Juniper CX
Each has its own strengths and weaknesses. Juniper was more security/less routing and Cisco was more routing/less security. Redback was Ericsson which is easy when creating VRFs known as contexts. When doing [the] show command, it would give you all the information within that context. In Cisco, you need to perform 3 or more commands to get the same info.
