Add link-layer protection where traffic exposure is highest. Cisco ASR 9000 MACsec 10G Right to Use License enables MACsec on supported ASR 9000 deployments, giving network teams a controlled way to secure 10G links across carrier and enterprise edge environments. It is a licensing item, not hardware, so it fits cleanly into existing platform investments. This license is valuable when compliance, confidentiality, or transport assurance requires encryption on high-speed interfaces. For architects running aggregation, metro edge, or service-provider routing layers, MACsec helps protect data in transit without altering the operational model of the platform. The right-to-use format keeps procurement straightforward and aligns the feature with the specific Cisco system already in place. For organizations that cannot afford to compromise on link security, this license supports a precise upgrade path: enable the capability you need, on the platform you already run, at the interface speed you specified. That makes it a practical purchase for teams balancing security requirements, network consistency, and budget control.
