ASR1002-10G-SEC/K9 - Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers

The 10G SEC order is the ASR1002 VPN and firewall bundle

ASR1002-10G-SEC/K9 identifies a Cisco ASR1002 VPN and Firewall bundle. The exact retirement-table row describes an ESP-10G, AESK9, a license and 4-GB DRAM. This ordering identity is distinct from both the fixed ASR1002-F platform and ASR1002-X bundles.

Use the hardware and software description as an inventory checklist

Confirm the installed forwarding processor, memory and software against the original bundle description. The presence of ESP-10G in the ordering row is not a promise that every service or encrypted workload runs at 10 Gbps. Check the required feature set and measured workload profile, and verify the actual entitlement records for the offered system.

The replacement mapping refers to a different X system

Cisco maps this order to ASR1002X-10G-SECK9, described as an ASR1002-X 10G VPN and Firewall bundle with K9 and an AES license. That is a replacement-system reference, not a change to the original model identity. Review interface migration, configuration recovery and software compatibility rather than treating the two PIDs as interchangeable labels.

Manufacturer support for the affected order has ended

The exact Cisco announcement lists end of sale on April 29, 2016 and final hardware support on April 30, 2021. Treat an ASR1002-10G-SEC/K9 purchase as a legacy maintenance decision. Confirm independent warranty arrangements and a replacement strategy; purchasing the unit does not restore the completed Cisco support period.
