Cisco ASR 9000 8 VRF License for 2T 5th Gen | Smart Licensing — S-A9K-20HG-IVRF=

Activate advanced routing segmentation on Cisco ASR 9000 2T 5th Gen platforms with a license that enables up to 8 VRFs. This entitlement is built for environments where traffic isolation, route separation, and operational control matter at scale. Instead of adding more hardware, you extend the capability of an existing chassis to support multiple virtual routing domains within a single infrastructure footprint. That matters in service provider cores, large enterprise WAN edges, and aggregation layers where different customers, business units, or services must remain logically separated. VRF support helps preserve routing boundaries while keeping the network easier to manage than a collection of isolated physical devices. For teams running dense, high-throughput environments, this license provides a practical way to increase segmentation without changing the underlying platform. Because it is tied to the ASR 9000 2T 5th Gen family, it fits into Cisco’s licensing model for operational consistency and controlled feature activation. It is a targeted purchase for teams that need more from an installed routing platform and want to justify the investment in premium infrastructure with measurable network control. Ideal For Segment customer traffic on a service provider edge router Isolate business units within a large enterprise WAN core Separate production, guest, and partner routing domains Enable controlled multi-tenant routing on ASR 9000 infrastructure Why This Product 1 Activates up to 8 VRFs on supported ASR 9000 hardware 2 Uses Cisco Smart Licensing for entitlement control 3 Targets 2T 5th Gen platforms rather than generic routing licenses 4 Adds logical segmentation without new physical infrastructure
