A9K-MSEC-MPA-1G Use Case
Secure High-Speed Data Center Interconnect with MACsec on ASR 9000
In global enterprises operating multiple data centers, east-west traffic must be protected against interception and tampering. By deploying the A9K-MSEC-MPA-1G-ASR 9000 32x1GE MPA MACsec Right to use license on ASR 9000 aggregation routers, organizations gain line-rate, hardware-based encryption across 1 GE links. Outcome: end-to-end data confidentiality, zero-trust enforcement between sites, and compliance with enterprise security policies—all without sacrificing throughput or adding management complexity.
Regulatory-Grade Financial Trading Network Encryption
Financial institutions require ultra-low-latency encryption for sensitive market data feeds to meet PCI DSS, SOX and SEC 17a-4 compliance. Enabling the A9K-MSEC-MPA-1G-ASR 9000 MACsec license on Cisco ASR 9000 routers provides authenticated, IEEE 802.1AE-standard encryption directly in silicon on 32x1 GE ports. Outcome: guaranteed data integrity and confidentiality for trading traffic, streamlined audit reporting, and elimination of software-based VPN overhead that can introduce jitter or packet loss.
Carrier Ethernet Secure Service Delivery for Enterprise Customers
Service providers offering Carrier Ethernet must deliver SLA-backed, encrypted connectivity to large enterprise campuses and branch offices. With the A9K-MSEC-MPA-1G-ASR 9000 license, the ASR 9000 platform enables per-port MACsec on 1 GE subscriber links, ensuring rogue-switch isolation and wire-speed encryption. Outcome: differentiated secure Ethernet services, simplified key-management via 802.1X/EAP, and reduced churn by meeting stringent customer security requirements without adding middle-box appliances.
