ASR1004-10G-SEC/K9 - Cisco ASR 1000 Aggregation Services Routers

The security bundle combines VPN and firewall features

ASR1004-10G-SEC/K9 is the Cisco ASR1004 VPN and Firewall bundle described in the official Cisco Security Bundles table. It is a hardware-and-software ordering configuration, not a standalone firewall license. Retain the SEC suffix when identifying the original bundle and checking the equipment offered.

Three named modules define the hardware assembly

Cisco lists the 10-Gbps ASR1000-ESP10 embedded services processor, ASR1000-RP1 route processor and ASR1000-SIP10 carrier card in this exact bundle row. These components perform different roles; a chassis-only quotation or a different processor population does not reproduce the original order. Verify installed adapters and optics separately.

Check the named software and feature licenses

The original description specifies the SASR1R1-AESK9-21SR consolidated software package, FLASR1-IPSEC-RTU for IPsec VPN and FLASR1-FW-RTU for firewall features. These are historical ordering details. Confirm the installed image, documented rights, transfer eligibility and feature compatibility of the particular unit rather than treating the PID as current entitlement proof.

Separate the 10-Gbps order from the 20-Gbps alternative

Cisco separately lists ASR1004-20G-SEC/K9 with an ESP20 and a different software-package reference. The alternative is not an automatic upgrade included with this 10-Gbps order. For legacy maintenance, compare the complete bill of materials, applicable component lifecycle and migration requirements before committing to a replacement.
