Cisco ASR 9000 Virtual Interfaces 4x1Gbps RTU License | Routing, Enterprise — S-A9K-VIRT-RTU-4X1

Add licensed 1 Gbps virtual interface capacity to Cisco ASR 9000 environments without changing the underlying platform. This right-to-use license enables 4 x 1 Gbps virtual interfaces, giving network teams a controlled way to extend service capacity where predictable throughput and clean segmentation matter. For carrier and large enterprise routing deployments, licensed interface expansion is often the difference between a short-term workaround and a supportable architecture. This entitlement helps preserve platform consistency while adding the capacity needed for additional services, tenant separation, or traffic growth. It is a practical fit for teams standardizing on ASR 9000 and looking to scale in a measured way rather than overprovisioning hardware. Because this is a software entitlement, it avoids the cost and operational disruption of replacing line cards or redesigning the chassis. The result is a more precise capacity plan, better alignment between spend and demand, and a licensing model that supports infrastructure decisions at scale. Ideal For Add licensed interface capacity to an existing ASR 9000 deployment Extend routed service bandwidth in a service-provider edge network Support tenant or service segmentation with virtual interfaces Scale capacity without purchasing additional hardware Why This Product 1 Adds licensed capacity instead of requiring hardware expansion 2 Targets ASR 9000 environments specifically 3 Supports 4 x 1 Gbps virtual interfaces 4 Uses a right-to-use entitlement model
