Cisco ASR 9K Smart License L3 VPN for 4x100GE SE | Licensing — S-A9K-400G-AIP-SE

Enable Layer 3 VPN functionality on ASR 9K 4x100GE SE line cards with a Cisco Smart License designed for precise feature control. This entitlement is built for infrastructure teams that need to activate routing services on specific hardware while maintaining a disciplined licensing posture across the ASR 9000 environment. The value is in precision. Instead of purchasing broader platform rights, you license the capability where it is actually needed, which helps align cost with deployment and reduces unused entitlement. Cisco Smart Licensing also gives operations teams a cleaner way to track and manage feature access as network roles change over time. For service provider and enterprise edge deployments, this license supports the kind of controlled expansion that high-value networks demand. It is a practical fit when L3 VPN services must be enabled on a defined line card, and when procurement teams need a licensing model that reflects real infrastructure usage rather than generic bundle assumptions.
