[c-nsp] NCS4200 - re-badged ASR920 / ASR900 ?

[CiscoNSP List]

Why? Why have an exact copy of the ASR92x/ASR90x....I fail to see the logic, other than they are using a new chipset in the NCS42x that is not compatible with the architecture of the ASR9x?

If feature parity between the 2 are identical....It makes no sense?

Thanks

The ASR900 series will not be replaced by NCS4200, both series will co-exist.

Best Regards

Just noticed these on Cisco's site - They appear to be just re-badged ASR920/ASR900's? (They even use ASR920 power supplies etc)

Anyone have any info on them?  Is this Cisco discretely releasing a "new" ASR920/900 that supports Laeba-based chips perhaps, and ASR900/920 will be "replaced"?

Cant find much info on them re hardware specs....but only had a quick google/search on Cisco's Site.

Links on both -

ie.   NCS4201 = ASR920-24SZ-M
NCS4202 = ASR920-12SZ-IM

They look identical anyway :)
