Cisco A9K-36X10-6RTU-SE= ASR 9000 36-Port 10GE License | Enterprise — A9K-36X10-6RTU-SE=

Activate service capacity on Cisco ASR 9000 platforms with an RTU license for a 36-port 10GE SE card, enabling 6 ports. This licensing model is built for operators who need to control feature access with precision, rather than buying capacity they may not immediately use. For service provider and enterprise backbone environments, that matters. It lets teams map entitlement directly to the installed hardware and the ports actually required for the network design. The result is tighter cost control, cleaner capacity planning, and a licensing posture that scales with operational demand. Because the license is tied to the ASR 9000 platform and a specific port count, it supports disciplined expansion without introducing ambiguity into procurement or operations. That makes it a practical choice for infrastructure teams managing high-value routing assets where every licensed port has a purpose. Ideal For Activating licensed ports on an ASR 9000 10GE service edge deployment Expanding routing capacity in service provider backbone environments Aligning port entitlement to installed Cisco hardware Managing controlled network growth with right-to-use licensing Why This Product 1 Port-based RTU licensing avoids paying for unused capacity 2 Tied to ASR 9000 hardware for clearer entitlement mapping 3 6-port activation supports controlled rollout 4 Better fit for high-value routing than generic software licenses
