Cisco ASR 1000 MACsec License 5-Year Support | Enterprise Network Security — CON-5SSNT-LFLA1MEC

Maintain secure transport on ASR 1000 deployments with a 5-year Cisco solution support entitlement tied to per-10GE-port MACsec licensing. This plan is built for environments where encryption continuity, vendor-backed assistance, and controlled lifecycle planning matter more than lowest-cost coverage. With 8x5xNBD service, operations teams get access to support during standard business hours and next-business-day hardware response, helping reduce uncertainty when a port-level security service needs attention. That makes it a practical fit for enterprise WAN, campus edge, and aggregation designs where MACsec is part of the security baseline. Because the entitlement is tied to the specific ASR 1000 MACsec license, it helps standardize support across ports and simplifies renewal management. For procurement teams, the five-year term also supports budget planning and avoids fragmented coverage across multiple short contracts. For infrastructure leaders, it preserves the service posture expected in higher-value Cisco environments without overbuying features that are not required.
