Cisco ASR 9000 CGv6 Transformation License for 400G LC | IP/MPLS — S-A9K-4HG-CGN

Scale ASR 9000 service-edge infrastructure for higher-density 400G deployments with an in-line CGv6 transformation license built for 5th Gen line cards. This license is intended for network teams that need to extend platform capability as traffic, subscriber counts, and service complexity increase. By enabling CGv6 transformation on supported 400G 5th Gen LC environments, it helps preserve investment in the existing ASR 9000 footprint while supporting growth in IP/MPLS and carrier-grade service delivery. That matters when the cost of a platform refresh is harder to justify than targeted capacity expansion. This is a fit for operators planning controlled upgrades, spare capacity strategies, and service-edge modernization where licensing alignment is part of the architecture. It is a software entitlement, so deployment is tied to the supported Cisco platform and the specific line-card class identified by the MPN. For procurement and engineering teams, the value is straightforward: add the license required to activate the intended capability on the right hardware, keep the network on a known platform, and avoid unnecessary overbuild. Ideal For Enable CGv6 capability on supported ASR 9000 400G 5th Gen line cards Expand service-edge capacity without replacing the routing chassis Support IP/MPLS growth in carrier and service-provider networks Maintain spare-capacity planning for future network expansion Why This Product 1 Targets 400G 5th Gen line-card entitlement rather than general platform licensing 2 Supports capability expansion without a hardware replacement cycle 3 Matches Cisco ASR 9000 service-edge architecture requirements 4 Provides a precise MPN for procurement and entitlement control
