Cisco ASR 901 Advanced Metro IP License | Metro IP Licensing — SL-A901-A=

Enable advanced metro IP functionality on Cisco ASR 901 deployments with a license designed for service-provider and access-network operations. This entitlement is built for teams that need to turn on specific platform capabilities without changing the underlying hardware footprint. It supports a more disciplined approach to feature activation, especially where network services must be expanded in place. For infrastructure teams, the value is operational clarity. Licensing lets you align functionality to the exact deployment requirement, which helps avoid overbuying hardware or carrying unused capability across the network. That matters in metro environments where access density, service continuity, and configuration consistency all affect performance and supportability. For procurement, this license provides a defined path to extend the value of an existing Cisco ASR 901 investment. For engineering, it supports a cleaner rollout model across sites that need advanced metro IP features without introducing a separate platform. When the network needs more capability, this license helps deliver it with less friction and better control. Ideal For Enable advanced metro IP features on deployed Cisco ASR 901 routers Expand access-network capability without replacing installed hardware Standardize feature activation across service-provider edge sites Support network growth where platform licensing is preferred over new equipment Why This Product 1 Platform-specific licensing for Cisco ASR 901 2 Feature activation without new hardware 3 Metro IP capability for access and carrier networks 4 Cleaner expansion path than full platform replacement
