Cisco Isr 1100 Licensing
Amelie Robertos
Hi there,
I'm trying to install a security license on my cisco 1111P, I have a .lic file in the flash but when I try to install the router is not recognize the commands, "just accept license smart register idtoken"
Hope you are trying to register your smart licensing. Smart license require Smart account( account should be with the client domain name) and the license will be deposited in Smart account. you need to generate a token from Smart account and use the same on router.
It depends on the setup, it can be direct which you Connect your device to CSSM(cloud) or you can have SSM(onprem) in which device connect to your on prem server. SSM need to connect with CSSM for license syncing or on an Air gap network you need to sync it manually uploading files.
Cisco ISR1000 is a popular router series aimed at branch deployment, and it contains many models depending on the required deployment. You can pick a router with a DSL WAN interface, GigabitEthernet, dual-SIM 4G interfaces, Wi-Fi, and PoE. A ton of options there.
I won't go into the details of all the devices in this post, and I will cover one aspect of licensing that I found complicated: licensing. To not dive deep into the number of models available, I will keep this blog post limited to Cisco C1100 models - C1100-8P and C1100-4P as these are the basis for the other alternatives, and the approach to licensing should be similar.
If you have the SEC feature set, the router, by default, limits the encrypted traffic throughput to 50 Mbps. If you need more, you need to add a Security Performance license. This license comes in two variants, VPERF, which raises the throughput level, and HSEC, which removes the performance restriction completely.
If even this limit isn't enough, then there is an HSEC feature license, which removes the limit, and the performance is limited just by the performance of the device itself. From the performance figures higher in this article, it is reasonable to expect 230 Mbps of crypto throughput for C1100-4P and 335 Mbps for C1100-8P.
Now we can safely proceed to connect the device to the Smart Account. For this, we need to know the idtoken we can get in the software.cisco.com Smart Software Manager. As we may be adding some export-controlled functionalities, we need to select the according field for the token.
After we have the token, we need to tell the device to use it for registration. But first, we need to change the device's default behavior, which is to use Cisco Smart License Utility (CSLU), to use a Cisco Smart Software Manager (CSSM).
The platform hardware throughput crypto unthrottled is, per my observation, equivalent to a commandlicense feature hseck9installed automatically. You have, therefore, two options to configure the HSEC functionality. However, I recommend you do the configuration with platform hardware throughput crypto. See the detail in part "Caveats."
This guide was about choosing an ISR1100 series router and its licenses. I believe the licensing is logical and straightforward. As with everything, the information in the documentation is sometimes contradictory and points in multiple directions. The approach to licensing the device outlined in this article should lead to fewer reloads and less headache with license troubleshooting.
I have an ISR1100 4P Router that at one time had an ISR_1100_4P_Hsec license applied to it. We have run the commands to successfully remove it and it looks like it is gone until the next time the router calls home the it's back. The router also has a Cisco 1100 Series with 4 LAN Ports , Security License which needs to stay. Any help is appreciated.
you mention call-home -> using smart-licensing ?
-> go to the Cisco license portal
locate the HSEC license
and look if you can detach the HSEC license from the SKU/UDI there
if the device + license is sold as a "bundle" than you may not be able to remove the individual HSEC license

A vulnerability in Application Quality of Experience (AppQoE) and Unified Threat Defense (UTD) on Cisco IOS XE Software could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause an affected device to reload unexpectedly, resulting in a denial of service (DoS) condition.
This vulnerability is due to the mishandling of a crafted packet stream through the AppQoE or UTD application. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted packet stream through an affected device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to cause the device to reload, resulting in a DoS condition.
This advisory is part of the September 2023 release of the Cisco IOS and IOS XE Software Security Advisory Bundled Publication. For a complete list of the advisories and links to them, see Cisco Event Response: September 2023 Semiannual Cisco IOS and IOS XE Software Security Advisory Bundled Publication.
To determine whether a device has AppQoE configured, use the show sdwan appqoe status include APPQOE CLI command. If the output includes APPQOE Status : GREEN, as shown in the following example, the device has AppQoE enabled and is affected:
To determine whether a device has UTD configured, use the show utd engine standard status include Status CLI command. If the output includes Status : Green, as shown in the following example, the device has UTD enabled and is affected:
Cisco has released free software updates that address the vulnerability described in this advisory. Customers with service contracts that entitle them to regular software updates should obtain security fixes through their usual update channels.
Customers may only install and expect support for software versions and feature sets for which they have purchased a license. By installing, downloading, accessing, or otherwise using such software upgrades, customers agree to follow the terms of the Cisco software license:
-user-license-agreement.html
Additionally, customers may only download software for which they have a valid license, procured from Cisco directly, or through a Cisco authorized reseller or partner. In most cases this will be a maintenance upgrade to software that was previously purchased. Free security software updates do not entitle customers to a new software license, additional software feature sets, or major revision upgrades.
The Cisco Support and Downloads page on Cisco.com provides information about licensing and downloads. This page can also display customer device support coverage for customers who use the My Devices tool.
When considering software upgrades, customers are advised to regularly consult the advisories for Cisco products, which are available from the Cisco Security Advisories page, to determine exposure and a complete upgrade solution.
In all cases, customers should ensure that the devices to be upgraded contain sufficient memory and confirm that current hardware and software configurations will continue to be supported properly by the new release. If the information is not clear, customers are advised to contact the Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC) or their contracted maintenance providers.
Customers who purchase directly from Cisco but do not hold a Cisco service contract and customers who make purchases through third-party vendors but are unsuccessful in obtaining fixed software through their point of sale should obtain upgrades by contacting the Cisco TAC: -cisco-worldwide-contacts.html
