Cisco 2.5G to 5Gbps License for ASR 1001-X | Enterprise Support — CON-SSC4P-FLSA11XS

Increase ASR 1001-X throughput without a hardware refresh. This Cisco license raises capacity from 2.5 Gbps to 5 Gbps, giving network teams room to absorb growth, protect application performance, and delay a larger capital upgrade. It is a practical way to extend the useful life of an existing deployment while keeping the platform aligned to changing traffic patterns. For organizations that have already standardized on the ASR 1001-X, this license offers a controlled path to more bandwidth on the same chassis. That matters when branch aggregation, encrypted traffic, or service expansion pushes past the original throughput ceiling. Instead of replacing infrastructure, teams can unlock additional capacity on the installed base and keep operations moving. The 1-year license term and single-server scope make procurement straightforward for planned refresh cycles, budgeted expansions, or temporary demand spikes. It is a targeted upgrade for teams that need more performance from a known platform, with less disruption than a full replacement. Ideal For Expand branch router throughput when traffic exceeds the original 2.5 Gbps ceiling Support a planned capacity increase on an existing ASR 1001-X deployment Delay hardware refresh while preserving performance for critical network services Match licensed capacity to a budgeted one-year infrastructure planning cycle Why This Product 1 Raises throughput without replacing the router 2 Single-server entitlement simplifies deployment scope 3 1-year term fits planned capacity cycles 4 Targets existing ASR 1001-X investments
