FLSA1-1HXIPS8G

Description

The Cisco FLSA1-1HXIPS8G is a specialized crypto throughput license designed specifically for the ASR1001-HX router platform. This license unlocks 8Gbps of IPsec encryption performance, enabling high-speed secure communications essential for modern enterprise networks handling VPN tunnels, site-to-site connectivity, and remote access scenarios.

Key Capabilities

• Delivers up to 8Gbps of aggregate IPsec throughput, supporting demanding security workloads without compromising router performance.
• Optimized for the ASR1001-HX, part of Cisco’s ASR1000 series aggregation services routers, ensuring native hardware acceleration for encryption tasks.
• Supports advanced IPsec features including AES encryption, IKEv2, and suite B cryptography for compliance with government and enterprise security standards.
• Facilitates scalable VPN deployments with high-performance hardware-accelerated crypto processing.

Deployment and Integration

This permanent license is activated via Right-to-Use (RTU) mechanism, allowing immediate enablement upon installation without recurring subscriptions. It integrates seamlessly with Cisco IOS XE software running on the ASR1001-HX, providing granular control over encryption policies, Quality of Service (QoS), and traffic shaping for optimal network efficiency.

Ideal for service providers, enterprises, and data centers requiring robust, high-throughput security gateways. The license enhances the ASR1001-HX’s role as a versatile edge router, combining routing, switching, and security in a compact 1RU form factor.

Security and Performance Benefits

• Hardware-optimized IPsec processing minimizes CPU overhead, maintaining wire-speed forwarding even under full crypto load.
• Supports GETVPN, DMVPN, and FlexVPN architectures for large-scale deployments.
• Ensures interoperability with a wide range of Cisco and third-party endpoints.
• Provides field-upgradable throughput scaling, future-proofing investments as traffic grows.
