The Cisco FLSA1-2HXIPS8G is a dedicated crypto throughput license for the ASR1002-HX router within the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers. This license unlocks 8 Gbps of crypto throughput, enabling high-performance IPsec encryption for secure VPN deployments and data protection in enterprise WAN edge environments.
Product Overview
The Cisco ASR 1000 Series Fixed Ethernet Line Cards (ASR1000-2T+20X1GE and ASR1000-6TGE) are fixed port Ethernet line cards capable of 40-Gbps full-duplex traffic forwarding using a fixed-port interface design. The ASR1000-2T+20X1GE features twenty 1 Gigabit Ethernet ports and two 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports. The ASR1000-6TGE features six 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports. Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) and 10-Gbps SFP (XFP) modules allow configuration for different media types (copper or fiber) and optical requirements (single- or multimode fiber). Each line card includes one power LED, one line-card status LED, and port or link-status LEDs.
These line cards provide greater Ethernet density and lower price per port on ASR 1000 Series routers. They occupy the slot of the SPA interface processor and are not compatible with Shared Port Adapters (SPAs). The Cisco ASR 1000 Series Modular Interface Processor (ASR1000-MIP100) is a full-duplex 100-Gbps modular Ethernet line card hosting up to two Cisco ASR 1000 Series Ethernet Port Adapters (EPAs), introducing 40 Gigabit Ethernet and 100 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity.
Key Features and Capabilities
EPAs offer the same feature parity and functionality as SPA interface processors and SPAs. Cisco ASR 1000 Series routers with these line cards and the FLSA1-2HXIPS8G license achieve enhanced security and performance for enterprise WAN edge deployments.
Interface Processor Types
Cisco ASR 1000 Series SPA Interface Processors support Shared Port Adapters (SPAs). Fixed Ethernet Line Cards have built-in Ethernet ports. Modular Interface Processors support Ethernet Port Adapters (EPAs).
Software Requirements
Minimum Cisco IOS XE Software versions are specified for line cards, EPAs, and MACsec support across platforms including ASR1002-HX. Refer to detailed tables for precise release information per component.
