ISR4461-AX/K9 Cisco ISR 4461 Application Experience Bundle Router

ISR 4461 Application Experience Bundle

ISR4461-AX/K9 is an exact Cisco order with two onboard 10-Gigabit Ethernet interfaces, four onboard Gigabit Ethernet interfaces, three NIM slots and three service-module slots. Order boundary: AX combines APP and SEC technology-package scope; UC entitlement and PVDM voice hardware are not established by this PID.

Licensed performance boundary

1.5 Gbps default aggregate throughput, upgradeable to 3 Gbps with the documented performance license. Published aggregate throughput is a platform limit and does not guarantee every encryption, application, voice or service-module workload.

Exact acceptance evidence

Reconcile APP and SEC rights, performance license, application-recognition policy, QoS, path control and every modular service. Record actual 10G and 1G interface use so the replacement is sized from traffic evidence rather than port count.

Migration work package

Replay representative encrypted applications on the proposed C8300-2N2S-4T2X configuration. Verify telemetry, path failover, policy, service-module replacements and subscription tier before accepting the migration BOM.

Lifecycle record

Cisco lists the ISR 4461 generation as end of sale with last support on 31 October 2029. Verify serial-specific support and software eligibility; existing inventory does not extend the published date.

Receiving checklist

Record PID, serial, memory, flash, power supplies, onboard links, NIM/ISC/service modules, software release, performance license and every active entitlement. Save configuration and representative load tests with the asset record.
