ASR1006-10G-VPN/K9 - Cisco ASR 1000 Aggregation Services Routers

ASR1006-10G-VPN/K9 Purchase Identity

ASR1006-10G-VPN/K9 is a physical Cisco ASR 1006 order in the VPN-focused bundle family with a 10 Gbps ordering tier. The PID combines hardware and software or feature entitlements; it is not a standalone license page.

Platform configuration

modular six-slot ASR 1000 chassis. Reconcile route processors, ESPs, SIPs, power supplies, optics and redundancy against the authorized bill of materials before purchase.

This PID belongs to an older ordering generation. Current Cisco tables may describe related bundle families without preserving every old line item, so the original Cisco quote controls the exact delivered composition.

VPN-focused bundle boundary

Cisco's ordering guide uses VPN bundle PIDs for an Advanced Enterprise software package plus an IPsec feature license; exact hardware varies by chassis and throughput.

Validate encryption throughput, tunnel scale, cryptographic entitlement, export restrictions and the precise ESP/RP/SIP bill of materials.

ASR1006 ten-gigabit VPN containment

Treat this lower-tier historical VPN PID as a bounded deployment. Record encrypted demand, tunnel scale, the exact ESP/RP/SIP combination and the utilization threshold that forces replacement. Keep a tested configuration restore and peer-priority list so the router can be retired without assuming a modern bundle has identical licensing.

Constrained crypto capacity

Set a lower-tier alarm using observed encrypted traffic, rekey load and tunnel growth. When that boundary is reached, require architecture review instead of adding features to the legacy chassis. Preserve packet-size assumptions and test tooling so the limit can be reproduced.

Interface bill of materials

Verify SIP, SPA, transceiver and cable compatibility by port role; none should be assumed to accompany the chassis unless present on the quote.

Lifecycle decision

Compare current Cisco support milestones with the deployment horizon and fund a replacement trigger rather than treating purchasability as lifecycle approval.

Receiving inspection

Verify chassis label, serials, module quantities, memory, power and physical condition; quarantine substitutions until the BOM is reconciled.

Acceptance record for ASR1006-10G-VPN/K9

For this 10 Gbps VPN line, preserve the received chassis serial, RP/ESP/SIP quantities, memory, power configuration, IOS XE image, feature entitlements and the test result that proves the required service mix. Reject a quotation that supplies only a family description without exact component and license lines.
