C8200 IPSEC License

[mtmharison]

Hello,

As the C8200 is the Replacement Product of the ISR series, we want to know if we can configure IPSEC without any DNA subscription renewal.

https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/routers/4000-series-integrated-services-routers-isr/select-isr4k-series-platform-eol.html

And what is the needed boot level Network-Essentials, Network-Advantage or Level Network-Premier ?

Regards,

HM

look at this document: Cisco Catalyst 8300/8200 Series Edge Platforms Ordering Guide - Cisco
The Cisco Catalyst 8300 and 8200 Series Edge Platforms must be ordered with a mandatory Cisco DNA subscription license along with the chassis for both traditional routing and SD-WAN deployments

=> you cannot order without DNA subscription license
but if you do not use this, you do not need to renew -> select the shortest subscription period.

look at this post Catalyst C8200 DNA License Tier for Non IPSEC traffic - Cisco Community
for Network-Essentials, Network-Advantage or Level Network-Premier  versus license comparison

Hello
" boot level Network-Advantage "  then reload the rtr should enable ipsec , however if your vpn  traffic throughput is expected to exceed 250mb then an hsec licence maybe required
