Cisco CSR 1000V E-PAK 1 GBPS AX Package — 1 GBPS License | Virtual Router, High Throughput — L-CSR-1G-AX=

Sustain business and data-center edge routing at up to 1 GBPS with the Cisco CSR 1000V E-PAK AX package. This capacity-tier license unlocks the CSR 1000V virtual router to deliver IOS XE routing, security, and QoS features in a virtual form factor, enabling migration of production workloads from physical platforms to virtualized infrastructure without sacrificing operational consistency. Use the 1 GBPS tier where aggregated WAN, internet breakout, or inter-data-center traffic requires gigabit-class routed capacity. Compared with lower tiers, the 1 GBPS license reduces the need for multiple instances or complex traffic-shedding policies and simplifies capacity planning. Deploy on VMware ESXi or KVM to keep the same configuration, monitoring, and change-control processes you use for physical routers. For procurement, the E-PAK AX package clarifies capacity entitlements and aligns virtual routing performance with predictable licensing and Cisco support pathways. Ideal For WAN internet breakout or aggregation points requiring 1 GBPS Data-center edge routing replacing physical routers with virtual instances High-throughput VPN concentrators and service chaining Consolidated virtual routing to reduce appliance sprawl Why This Product 1 Provide 1 GBPS capacity to consolidate instances versus multiple lower-tier licenses 2 Deliver IOS XE parity vs lightweight virtual routers lacking Cisco features 3 Simplify capacity planning compared with burst-based or metered models 4 Align with Cisco support instead of community or unsupported images
