Information About Cisco ASR 1000 ESP 10G Non Crypto Capable New Feature

For those users who are under export or import restrictions for strong encryption services products, the Cisco ASR 1000 ESP board (ASR1000-ESP10-N) without encryption is provided. This unrestricted product format, in which all encryption chips have been removed, can be provided in the Cisco ASR 1002, 1004, and 1006 Series Routers. Additionally, a Cisco IOS XE 2.2 image for this ESP is available that does not contain encryption software. Therefore, any Cisco ASR 1000 Series Router which contains the ASR1000-ESP10-N ESP board does not provide Secure Shell (SSH), Transport Layer Security (TLS), Secure Socket Layer (SSL), or IP Security (IPSec) encryption processes. All other functionality found in the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Routers remains the same.

The benefits of Cisco ASR 1000 ESP 10G Non Crypto Capable new feature are:

  • Fully unrestricted network product that meets US export restrictions and any foreign security import restrictions.
  • Users can obtain encryption processes of their own choosing.

Checking the ESP Board

You can verify the part number of your ASR 1000 Series Router ESP board in two ways:

  • Look for the ASR1000-ESP10-N part number on the board itself, or
  • Enter the show platform command as shown below: 
Router# show platform
