Cisco S-A99-4T-IVRF= ASR 9000 VRF License | 4T 5th Gen Routing — S-A99-4T-IVRF=

Activate additional routing segmentation on ASR 9000 4T 5th Gen systems with a license that enables up to 8 VRFs. For network teams operating at service-provider scale, VRF support is a practical way to isolate customers, tenants, or internal routing domains while keeping infrastructure consolidated. This Cisco licensing option is built for environments where route separation is not optional. It helps maintain clear boundaries between traffic groups, supports more controlled policy design, and avoids the operational sprawl that comes from deploying separate physical routers for every routing domain. That makes it a strong fit for backbone, aggregation, and multi-tenant edge architectures. Because the license is tied to the ASR 9000 platform, it aligns with existing Cisco operational models and procurement workflows. It is the kind of purchase that makes sense when the cost of routing complexity is higher than the cost of the license itself. For teams extending a 4T 5th Gen deployment, it adds the segmentation capacity needed to keep the network organized as demand grows. Ideal For Service-provider edge routing with tenant-specific VRF separation Enterprise backbone segmentation for distinct business units or environments Aggregation-layer designs that require multiple isolated routing tables Network expansion where logical separation is preferred over new hardware Why This Product 1 Adds up to 8 VRFs without replacing the underlying router 2 Supports logical traffic separation for multi-tenant and enterprise designs 3 Platform-specific entitlement keeps licensing aligned to ASR 9000 4T 5th Gen 4 More efficient than deploying separate physical routers for each routing domain
