ASR1002X-10G-K9 Cisco ASR 1000 Series Router

Match the ten-gigabit bundle to its performance code

ASR1002X-10G-K9 is the Cisco ASR1002-X 10G base bundle. Cisco names FLSA1-2X-5-10G as its performance upgrade, alongside the SASR1K2XUK9-XYS universal image and FLASR1-AES technology package. These identifiers define the order more precisely than an ASR1002-X chassis label alone.

Use the base-to-ten-gigabit distinction in procurement

The ASR1002X-5G-K9 row does not list this performance upgrade. If a quotation offers an existing unit as a 10G bundle, request its current license inventory and confirm that the ordered performance entitlement is actually present. Treat a higher 20G or 36G requirement as a separate licensing decision rather than assuming headroom from the common hardware platform.

A forwarding tier does not specify the entire service design

The K9 order includes the stated AES technology package; it is not the same order as the separately listed 10G VPN, security or Security plus High Availability bundles. Specify service features independently. The 10G label is a bundle performance tier and should not be presented as a guaranteed application, encrypted-traffic or firewall test result.

Evaluate remaining support before a replacement purchase

The exact ASR1002X-10G-K9 PID is included in Cisco EOL14624. August 1, 2022 is the end-of-sale date, while July 31, 2027 is the final support milestone subject to entitlement. Confirm support eligibility for the offered unit and the migration plan; seller availability alone does not establish manufacturer coverage.
