Ordering Cisco ASR 1000 Series Router Feature Licenses
In order to turn on services on Cisco ASR 1000 Series Routers, software feature licenses are required, in addition to the appropriate Cisco IOS XE Software. Currently two types of feature licenses are available: right-to-use (RTU) licenses and number-of-session licenses. Certain services require only RTU license, whereas other services require both RTU license and number-of-session licenses. In the future Cisco will introduce additional feature licenses for other value-added services (for example, intrusion prevention, etc.)
Broadband service: The Cisco ASR 1000 Series Router broadband application requires a RTU license and one or more number-of-session licenses. Unlike on other Cisco products, enabling Intelligent Service Gateway (ISG) technology on Cisco ASR 1000 Series Routers only requires the RTU license (FLASR1-BB-RTU(=)). There is no separate ISG license required other than the broadband RTU license.
A 6RU chassis (Cisco ASR 1006) with redundant RP2s and 20-Gbps ESPs is configured in order to achieve five-nines availability. The Cisco ASR 1000 Series RP2 comes by default with an 80-GB hard disk. You should select RP2 16-GB DRAM memory (part number M-ASR1K-RP2-16GB). Additional memory is required when the broadband RTU license (part number FLASR1-BB-RTU) is selected with RP2 (part number ASR1000-RP2). You need three SIP cards to host two double-height, 10 Gigabit Ethernet SPA cards and four single-height, 8-Gigabit Ethernet SPA cards.
The Cisco IOS XE Advanced IP Services consolidated package facilitates broadband and Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) features on the router.
A 32,000-subscriber broadband number-of-sessions license and the broadband RTU license allow you to scale up to 32,000 subscribers on the system.
