Summary

About this ASN.
AS109 is Cisco Systems' principal corporate ASN, a 1987 allocation registered under ARIN. It is a large, well-run enterprise network: it originates about 93 IPv4 prefixes and 43–44 IPv6 prefixes (~1.15 million IPv4 addresses), is present at roughly nine Internet exchanges, and is well-connected to major carriers including Lumen, PCCW, Telstra International, Arelion, TATA, and Hurricane Electric. Routing hygiene is strong — Hurricane Electric shows 134 valid originations and zero invalid. For triage this is a clean vendor/enterprise network; encountering it indicates Cisco corporate infrastructure, with abuse handled through Cisco's CSIRT. The AS-CISCO IRR as-set lists only AS109 as a member, and while Cisco operates additional ASNs (largely from acquisitions), AS109 is the flagship; the sometimes-cited "AS1351" could not be verified as a core Cisco ASN and is not asserted here. No notable public abuse signal was found as of June 2026.
