Cisco ASR 9000 MACsec 100G Right-to-Use License | Enterprise Security — SD-SSPT-SA9MAAK0

Extend link-layer protection across ASR 9000 infrastructure with a Cisco right-to-use MACsec license for 100G environments. This software entitlement is intended for service provider networks that need encrypted transport on high-capacity links while preserving the operational model of the existing platform. It adds the licensing authorization required to activate MACsec capability on supported ASR 9000 deployments, helping teams protect traffic in transit without introducing a separate security appliance into the path. For infrastructure teams, the value is in keeping critical traffic on the router fabric while meeting security requirements for sensitive backbone, aggregation, or interconnect segments. The license model fits environments where capacity, policy consistency, and lifecycle control matter more than feature sprawl. It is a precise fit for organizations standardizing on Cisco routing platforms and looking to enable MACsec on 100G links with a software entitlement rather than a hardware refresh. Ideal For Encrypting 100G backbone links between ASR 9000 routers Securing service provider aggregation paths carrying sensitive traffic Adding link-layer protection to existing Cisco routing deployments Enabling MACsec on a licensed ASR 9000 environment without hardware changes Why This Product 1 License-only activation avoids hardware replacement 2 MACsec support targets 100G ASR 9000 deployments 3 Right-to-use model fits controlled procurement workflows 4 Designed for service provider transport rather than general-purpose security
