Cisco ASR 9000 RTU Tunnel Protocols License | Enterprise Routing — A9K-TUNNEL-ENT

Keep tunnel protocol capabilities available on Cisco ASR 9000 deployments with a right-to-use entitlement designed for service-provider and large enterprise routing environments. This license is intended for teams that need to preserve feature access on an installed platform without changing the hardware footprint or disrupting the operational model. A9K-TUNNEL-ENT helps align software entitlement with the routing services already running in the network. That matters when tunnel-based traffic engineering, segmentation, or transport requirements must remain consistent across upgrades, expansions, or support renewals. Instead of overbuying hardware for a single feature set, you maintain the exact capability needed on the ASR 9000 family. For infrastructure teams, the value is control: clear licensing, predictable entitlement, and a cleaner path to keep critical routing functions in service. It is a practical choice when the platform is already standardized and the priority is sustaining advanced protocol support with minimal operational friction.
