Redundancy between two ASR1006-X

[Network-giiig]

Hello,

I have a Cisco ASR 1006-X router with one Cisco ASR1000-RP3 (Route processor) module in our HQ site connecting to third party services via E1s, in order to have a cluster of two routers to get high availability we bought a second one (same model), can we configure the interchassis redundancy between them ? or what type of redundancy do we need to use ?

Thanks in advance.

@marce1000 thank you for your reply,

On the document it says: "Hardware redundancy is available on the Cisco ASR 1006 Router only at this time."

does this means that the 1006-X does not support this ?

Another question: can we use both hardware and software redundancy or hardware is enough ?

Thanks once again

 - Ref : https://www.ciscolive.com/c/dam/r/ciscolive/emea/docs/2020/pdf/BRKARC-2013.pdf , search in browser for Cisco ASR1000 Series Routers , in that figure it is shown that the ASR10060-x can do hardware redundancy.

Hello
Can you elaborate on what services the router(s) are servicing, do you have dual WAN resiliency?
Do you have two routers or dual RP within one router, If the former i don’t believe cisco HA would be applicable here, you may have to implement something like FHRP with conditional routing, maybe possible for even performance routing (PfR)

@paul driver  thank you for the replay,

The routers will serve to connect the HQ to many branches through redundant E1 circuits (point-to-point) with VPNs on top as an extra security level.

now we have two ASR 1006-X routers with one RP each.

hope this was clear.

Thanks

Hello
What type of circuits are they (mpls/internet etc...)  also what routing are you currently running on static dynamic (ospf/bgp) etc.
Maybe share a topology diagram?
