ASR1K6R2-100-VPNK9 - Cisco ASR 1000 Aggregation Services Routers

ASR1K6R2-100-VPNK9 Purchase Identity

ASR1K6R2-100-VPNK9 is a physical Cisco ASR 1006 with RP2 bundle identity order in the VPN-focused bundle family with a 100 Gbps ordering tier. The PID combines hardware and software or feature entitlements; it is not a standalone license page.

Platform configuration

ASR 1006 modular platform using the RP2 bundle naming family. Confirm whether the quote is single-engine or redundant and reconcile every RP2, ESP, SIP, power and interface component before deployment.

Cisco's current ordering guide documents this bundle family, but the authorized quote still controls optional modules, power, media and entitlement ownership.

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.

Hundred-gigabit VPN crypto design

Separate noncryptographic forwarding tier from expected encrypted throughput. Record ESP100 identity, RP2 and SIP40 inventory, tunnel scale, packet-size profile and key-management controls, then validate with representative encryption traffic. The architecture review must show optical capacity and a fallback path if crypto demand exceeds the tested baseline.

ESP100 encryption validation

Run separate tests for clear forwarding and encrypted forwarding on the quoted ESP100 system. Capture CPU, crypto, packet loss and latency during rekey and tunnel churn, then retain the result with the optical design and key-management approval.

Lifecycle decision

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

Support escalation

Record contract coverage, entitled contacts, diagnostic requirements and escalation routing independently from the hardware bundle name.

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.

Acceptance record for ASR1K6R2-100-VPNK9

For this 100 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.
