Keep virtual routing aligned to your network design with the Cisco CSR 1000V Smart License 500 Mbps IP Base Package for 5 years. This license is built for teams that need a clear entitlement model for virtualized routing, with throughput defined at 500 Mbps and a licensing term that supports long-range planning. For infrastructure leaders, the appeal is control. A fixed 5-year license reduces renewal churn and helps standardize deployment economics across branch, cloud, or lab environments where virtual routers are part of the architecture. The IP Base package provides a practical foundation for organizations that want a straightforward licensing tier without overbuying capacity they do not need. This is a strong fit when you need to keep routing services consistent over time, align procurement with platform strategy, and avoid the operational friction that comes from short-term licensing cycles. It is a disciplined choice for teams that value predictable entitlement and measured capacity.
