FLASR1-FPI-RTU

Description

The Cisco FLASR1-FPI-RTU is a Right-To-Use (RTU) feature license designed specifically for the Cisco ASR1000 Series routers. This Flex Pack Inspection license unlocks essential security and traffic analysis capabilities, enabling Flexible Packet Matching (FPM) and Network-Based Application Recognition (NBAR). Ideal for enterprise networks requiring advanced packet inspection and application visibility without the need for additional hardware.

Key Features and Capabilities

• Flexible Packet Matching (FPM): Allows customizable packet classification based on Layer 2 to Layer 7 headers, enabling granular traffic monitoring, QoS policies, and security actions. FPM provides user-defined signatures for deep packet inspection tailored to specific network needs.
• Network-Based Application Recognition (NBAR): Advanced application-layer recognition engine that identifies and classifies traffic by application type, supporting over hundreds of protocols out-of-the-box. NBAR facilitates intelligent bandwidth management, policy enforcement, and performance optimization.
• Right-To-Use (RTU) Licensing: Simple activation via software key, providing permanent access to licensed features without recurring subscriptions. No hardware upgrades required.
• ASR1000 Series Compatibility: Fully integrated with Cisco ASR1000 routers, leveraging the embedded service processor for high-performance processing.

Note that Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) functionality is not supported on ASR1000 platforms with this license. For firewall capabilities, the companion FLASR1-FW-RTU license is required, which enables Zone-Based Firewall features on the same ASR1000 series.

Deployment and Configuration

Configuration of FPM and NBAR is performed via Cisco IOS-XE command-line interface (CLI). There is no graphical user interface (GUI) available for purchase specifically for these features on ASR platforms. Administrators can refer to official Cisco documentation for detailed setup:

• NBAR Configuration Guide: Detailed instructions for protocol discovery, custom protocols, and policy application.
• FPM Configuration Guide: Step-by-step for defining flex match criteria, column descriptors, and action policies.
