Cisco A9K-48P1GE-AIP-TR= Advanced IP License | VRF, ASR 9000 — A9K-48P1GE-AIP-TR=

Scale VRF capacity on supported Cisco 48-port 1G mode TR line cards without changing the hardware footprint. The A9K-48P1GE-AIP-TR= license is built for service-provider and enterprise edge networks that need stronger routing segmentation, more precise traffic separation, and room for growth on an installed ASR 9000 platform. This license is a fit when basic forwarding is no longer enough and the network must carry more isolated routing domains with predictable control. It supports deployments where customer separation, service chaining, or multi-tenant routing policies depend on full-scale VRF capability. That makes it a practical upgrade for teams extending the life and value of existing line cards while keeping the platform aligned with operational requirements. For infrastructure teams, the value is straightforward: unlock the routing features needed to support more demanding designs without replacing the chassis or line card. It is a targeted software entitlement for organizations that already standardized on Cisco ASR 9000 and need to preserve investment while increasing service flexibility. Ideal For Enable tenant-separated routing on an ASR 9000 deployment Add VRF scale to a 48-port 1G mode TR line card in a service-provider edge Support segmented enterprise WAN routing policies on existing Cisco infrastructure Upgrade installed hardware to meet higher routing isolation requirements Why This Product 1 Adds full-scale VRF capability instead of basic routing only 2 Targets compatible 48-port 1G mode TR line cards 3 Preserves ASR 9000 hardware investment 4 Fits service-edge segmentation requirements
