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.
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.
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.

MACSEC Right-to-Use license ensures secure ASR9000 per-port traffic, ideal for high-reliability enterprise networks.
Compact, predictable, and easy to manage.
Stable encryption and reliable performance.
Enterprise-ready with minimal setup effort.
Smooth operations with secure traffic.
The A9K-MSEC-MPA-1G is a Right to Use license enabling MACsec encryption on 32x1GE MPA modules in Cisco ASR 9000 routers for secure, line-rate data transmission.
It activates IEEE 802.1AE MACsec encryption, providing traffic confidentiality, integrity, and data origin authentication on ASR 9000 32x1GE MPA ports.
The A9K-MSEC-MPA-1G license supports 32x1GE MPA line cards (A9K-MPA-32X1GE) in Cisco ASR 9000 Series routers running IOS XR.
Install the PAK key using the 'license install' command, enable MACsec on the interface with 'macsec' configuration, and verify with 'show license usage' and 'show macsec interface' commands.
The MACsec license requires Cisco IOS XR Release 6.1.4 and later on ASR 9000 platforms with 32x1GE MPA modules.
It supports IEEE 802.1AE and IEEE 802.1X for secure Layer 2 encryption and key management, ensuring compliance with industry security standards.
A single A9K-MSEC-MPA-1G license secures all 32 x 1 Gbps ports on a supported MPA module, enabling per-port MACsec encryption.
The A9K-MSEC-MPA-1G is a perpetual Right to Use (RTU) license, granting ongoing MACsec encryption capabilities without expiration.
Yes, you can add the A9K-MSEC-MPA-1G license to any deployed compatible 32x1GE MPA module without hardware replacement.
MACsec runs at line rate on 32x1GE MPA modules with negligible latency increase and minimal throughput overhead, preserving router performance.
MACsec encrypts and authenticates Layer 2 traffic per port, preventing eavesdropping, tampering, and unauthorized access on your network.
Yes, Cisco RTU licenses allow transfer of the license PAK from one ASR 9000 router to another using standard deactivation and activation processes.
Execute 'show license usage' to confirm installation and 'show macsec interface <port>' to view encryption status, key lifetimes, and packet counters.
Cisco offers SMARTnet service for software updates, technical support, and hardware replacement, ensuring your MACsec deployment remains reliable.
You can order the A9K-MSEC-MPA-1G through Cisco authorized partners, resellers, or directly via the Cisco Commerce Workspace.
An RTU license lets you enable software features on demand by installing a PAK license key, with no additional hardware required.
